The pledge is open. A firm that publishes a zero denial rate and backs it with independent evidence can sign. Until then, every firm on the leaderboard carries "No data" rather than a zero it has not earned.

The denial-rate leaderboard for prop firms.
An independent aggregator: denialrate publishes what prop firms publish and what traders report, ordered into a leaderboard. Numbers are ranges, not verdicts.

Where a firm has a verified referral program, denialrate earns CPA on sign-ups. That does not change the denial-rate numbers — the leaderboard is ordered by the published estimate, never by affiliate yield. See the conflict-of-interest policy.

Frequently asked questions
What is a denial rate?
A denial rate is the share of payout requests a prop firm refuses, over a stated period. It is built from either a figure the firm publishes itself or an aggregate of trader-submitted reports. A low denial rate is not a recommendation and a high one is not a verdict of fraud; it is one signal among several.
Why are the numbers ranges instead of single figures?
Because the underlying sources disagree. Firm-published figures and trader-reported accounts rarely match, and trader reports are unverifiable individually. denialrate publishes a low–high range that reflects the spread, and states the source mix on each firm dossier. A single precise number would imply a confidence the data does not have.
How is this different from a payout ledger?
A payout ledger records what a firm paid out. A denial rate records what a firm refused to pay. The two are complementary: a firm can run a generous ledger and still deny a high share of requests, or vice versa. denialrate tracks refusals, not approvals, because refusals are the event traders lose money to.
Does denialrate get paid by firms?
denialrate earns affiliate CPA on some sign-up links. That does not change the denial-rate numbers: the leaderboard is ordered by the published estimate, not by affiliate yield, and a firm that pays no commission sits next to a firm that does. The conflict-of-interest policy is on the methodology page.
A firm shows 0 reports — does that mean 0 denials?
No. It means denialrate has neither a published figure nor enough trader reports to estimate. “No data” is stated on the firm’s dossier rather than papered over with a zero. A zero denial rate is a claim a firm makes and that denialrate would verify independently before listing.
