About Cuz Trader

Independent prop firm research, built around the rules.

Cuz Trader is an independent website focused on futures prop firms. We help traders understand account structures, risk limits, payout conditions and additional costs before they visit a provider’s website.

Why “Cuz Trader”?

“Cuz” is short for “cousin” — a familiar voice that explains the details without pretending the decision is simple. It also reflects a second idea: every trade, every rule and every account choice should have a reason.

What we cover

Our current coverage focuses on futures prop firms. We review evaluation paths, direct simulated-funded products, drawdown rules, daily loss limits, consistency requirements, payout conditions, platform access and additional fees.

  • Account paths and progression stages
  • Drawdown and daily loss-limit structures
  • Consistency and minimum-day requirements
  • Payout eligibility and profit splits
  • Activation, reset, platform and data costs
  • Important restrictions and unresolved information

How we verify information

We prioritise official websites, help centres, rule pages, pricing pages and provider announcements. Information that cannot be confirmed is marked as pending or subject to change rather than presented as fact.

Editorial independence

Cuz Trader has a confirmed affiliate relationship with FundedNext. Affiliate relationships with Tradeify, Lucid Trading and Take Profit Trader remain unconfirmed. Commercial relationships do not change our source verification, risk notices or editorial judgement, and affiliate links are disclosed clearly near the relevant call to action.

What Cuz Trader does not provide

  • Trading accounts or funding
  • Payment or checkout services
  • Personal financial, legal, tax or trading advice
  • Account support, violation appeals or payout processing
  • Guarantees of passing, profitability or withdrawal approval
