I've mainly used some of the more established firms, including FTMO and FundedNext, but I've also been looking at a few newer options recently.

Some of the bigger firms seem to be adding more conditions around drawdown, consistency and payouts, so I'm curious whether any newer firms are actually worth testing.

I've tried a couple of smaller ones before. One was fine, but another had rules that weren't very clear until I went through the full terms. Support and payouts also seem to vary a lot once you move away from the bigger names.

Has anyone here had a genuinely good experience with a newer prop firm?

Mainly interested in firms where you've actually reached the funded stage or received a payout. Not looking for affiliate links or discount codes, just honest feedback on the rules and whether they paid without unnecessary issues.

Budgeting for NPTE prep and trying to decide if I should get the Typical PT qbank or save money and just use the free resources plus the PEAT. For anyone who used it, did you feel like it actually made a difference vs just doing practice questions from other sources? I've also heard truelearn mentioned a lot. Trying to figure out where to put my money.
