How BestProps Verifies Forex Firm Terms

The 100-point evidence score assigns 20 points to visible fee information, 20 to a visible daily-loss field, 25 to payout documentation, 15 to platform documentation, 15 to high official-source coverage or 8 to medium coverage, and up to 5 points for a low gap count. Missing evidence displays as “Not verified.” The score measures how much BestProps could verify from official pages, not whether a firm is universally better.

BestProps does not guarantee account access, passing, payouts, profitability, or recovery after a firm changes or closes a program. Save dated copies of the rules you rely on and confirm current terms directly with the provider.
