What is Prop Weekly’s “field log”?

Prop Weekly publishes weeknotes and desk memos - short, sourced context on prop-industry mechanics, market texture, and how rules interact with real sessions. It is not a trade desk and not a substitute for each firm’s live documentation.

Are these memos time-sensitive?

Yes. Firms revise programmes; use what you read here as a compass point, then confirm terms, fees, and payout rules on the provider’s own pages before you act.

Do you rank or push particular firms?

No. We do not sell challenges, operate programmes, or present paid rankings as journalism. Anything that looks like a mention is context, not a recommendation.

Why Prop Weekly

Short files, long memory.

We write like a desk that keeps a logbook: dated entries, blunt headings, and no pretend urgency when the tape is quiet.

No programme owns this keyboard.

No equity stake in the shops we cover. If a sponsor ever appears, you will see it labelled - it still will not buy a verdict.

For people who read terms.

If you already screenshot rule PDFs and track payout posts, you are the reader this layout was built around.
