Counts here are recorded research programs. Directory catalog program counts can differ.

This page compares facts currently recorded in the FXVeritas prop firm research dataset. Program-level values may vary within each firm, so program-derived rows are shown as recorded spans or marked as program-dependent instead of a single firm-wide rule. Values that are not recorded stay unrecorded and are never estimated.

Key differences at a glance

Recorded differences and overlaps only. Missing values stay Not recorded. This is not a ranking.

How this comparison is built

FXVeritas maintains a fixed set of prop firm comparisons where both sides carry enough recorded research to support a useful comparison. Values are read from the research dataset at request time. Program facts stay program-scoped: FXVeritas does not average program values, pick a representative program, or infer a firm-wide rule from program rows.
