About The Prop Journalist

I am a trader and prop firm reporter with an academic background in economics and finance. I’ve been covering the prop firm industry since 2022, before many of today’s leading prop firms were founded.

I founded The Prop Journalist to give traders clear, evidence-led reporting on the firms they trust with their time and money. My work combines breaking news, industry analysis, statistics and critical examination of prop firm rules and practices.

My reporting and campaigns have helped challenge unfair practices and contributed to positive rule changes. At the same time, I celebrate progress across the industry, whether that is a fairer rule, a better trading model or a significant payout milestone.

The Prop Journalist has helped tens of thousands of traders make better-informed decisions, generating hundreds of thousands of views and millions of impressions across social media.

I also publish This Week In Prop, a newsletter covering the week’s most important prop firm news, rule changes, payouts and industry developments. It gives traders a concise overview of the stories that matter, helping them stay informed without feeling overwhelmed by this fast-moving industry.

My reporting is supported by a network of prop firm founders, executives, staff members and traders with first-hand experience, including traders who have received some of the industry’s largest payouts. I have also worked with several leading prop firms to help give away hundreds of trading accounts.

Some content includes affiliate links and discount codes, which help support my independent reporting at no extra cost to you. They never influence my editorial coverage.

I’m always looking for the next story. If you have news, evidence, feedback or an experience worth investigating, contact me by email or send me a message through The Prop Journalist Discord server.
