    Research, editorial standards, and firm vetting at PropFirmScan.

    About Kevin

    Kevin Nerway founded PropFirmScan to bring institutional-grade research standards to the proprietary trading industry. He spent years inside retail and prop trading watching the same pattern repeat: opaque rules, shifting payout terms, and marketing that outran reality. PropFirmScan exists to close that gap.

    He leads firm vetting, payout verification, and editorial standards — and personally reviews the analysis published on the site. Coverage focuses on what actually changes a trader's outcome: drawdown mechanics, consistency rules, payout cadence, and the operational health of the firm behind the dashboard.

    What he covers

    • Payout integrity

      Verified payouts, processing times, and trader-funded vs investor-funded firms.

    • Firm vetting

      Rule changes, T&C drift, regulatory posture, and ownership.

    • Trader education

      Risk, position sizing, and the math behind challenges.

    Editorial standards

    All research published under Kevin's byline is held to the standards documented in our Editorial Policy. Where AI is used to draft or summarize, it is reviewed and fact-checked by a human before publication. Methodology for the PFS Score and firm ratings is published in full on the Methodology page.
