The index represents the arithmetic mean of the maximum available discount at each of our 20 tracked prop trading firms. A score of 33% means the average trader can save roughly one-third off listed evaluation prices.
The prop firm discount market is the most competitive it has ever been. With 50+ firms now competing for traders, discount rates have reached historic highs. Three firms now offer 60%+ off, and the industry leader (DayTraders) is running an 80% discount — nearly unheard of 12 months ago.

Understanding how discounts cluster across the industry reveals where the real value lies.
| Tier | Discount Range | Number of Firms | Share of Market |
|---|---|---|---|
| DEEP | 60%+ | 5 firms | 25% |
| MODERATE | 30–59% | 4 firms | 20% |
| LIGHT | 1–29% | 11 firms | 55% |
The majority of firms (55%) offer discounts under 30%. However, the top 5 firms — representing just 25% of the market — account for the deepest savings. This concentration means traders who compare across firms can save dramatically more than those who pick a firm at random.
The index score translates directly into money saved. Here is what a typical $500 prop firm evaluation costs at each discount tier.
| Discount Tier | Full Price | After Discount | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| DEEP (80%) | $500 | $100 | $400 |
| DEEP (60%) | $500 | $200 | $300 |
| MODERATE (40%) | $500 | $300 | $200 |
| LIGHT (20%) | $500 | $400 | $100 |
| LIGHT (5%) | $500 | $475 | $25 |
| INDEX AVG (33%) | $500 | $335 | $165 |
Bottom line: A trader who picks a firm at the index average saves $165 on a $500 challenge. A trader who picks the best deal (DayTraders at 80%) saves $400. The difference between knowing about discounts and not is hundreds of dollars per challenge.
The PFDF Discount Index is calculated using the following methodology:
The prop trading industry has entered its most competitive phase. Several factors are driving the current discount environment:
Supply explosion: The number of prop trading firms has grown from roughly 10 serious players in 2022 to over 50 in 2026. This oversupply forces firms to compete aggressively on price.
Affiliate competition: Firms now compete for affiliate partners by offering higher commission rates and deeper promo codes. The result: traders benefit from larger discounts than the firms would otherwise offer.
Seasonal patterns: Historically, the deepest discounts appear in Q1 (January-March) as firms compete for New Year's resolution traders, and again during Black Friday in November. March 2026 continues this Q1 trend.
Trader awareness: As comparison tools like PFDF grow, traders are increasingly price-sensitive. Firms that do not offer competitive discounts lose market share to those that do.
