Trader reports
We report what we can source and link. We don't rate firms by sentiment.
When we publish trader experience it will be as sourced reports you can open and check — never star ratings, and never a "verified review" badge. We could confirm a payout receipt is real; we could not show you that receipt, or prove the people who sent one are representative. The PFM Score above stays computed only from objective facts on Elite Trader Funding's official site — here's why.
