What I cover
The trader-facing side of the site: prop firm pages, lists, the finder and compare tool, payout rules and the prop firm calculators, market hours and holidays, the free trading tools and prediction markets, plus our editorial policy and ranking rules.
Why us. We're both former traders. Between us we've traded forex, index futures and crypto, so we've paid the fees, read the fine print and lived with the rules these tools check. For the last two years we've been building websites and data products, which is how we came to build the tools we wished we'd had.
Alexander Burnett signs 107 pages on TradingLookup, in 9 sections: Prop firm calculators, Payout rules, Prop firm lists, Prop firms by country, Prop firms, Market hours and holidays, Free trading tools, Prediction markets and How we work.
