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.
