Observed structure of PTC's tracked proprietary trading universe.
Composition sums to 418 of 418 active firms. Categories reflect PTC's primary market classification, not PTC estimates.
Modelled industry scale based on PTC's published baseline cohort.
Figures are the published 2026-M10 publication covering a cohort of 207 modelled firms — not all 418 tracked firms. They are not company-reported figures and no industry-level confidence interval is published for this baseline. Modelled funded-to-active ratio: 9.0%.
View estimate methodologyLatest published PTC rankings.
Rankings are derived from PTC datasets and published monthly. Movement indicators compare the firm's rank against the previous published snapshot where one exists; no movement is shown otherwise.
How much of the tracked universe each published PTC model currently covers.
PTC publishes coverage rather than implying completeness. Firms classified internal / insufficient are modelled but not shown publicly, and firms outside a model's universe scope are not modelled at all. Active Trader coverage is 207 of 418 tracked firms.

How PTC observes, estimates and derives industry intelligence.
Regional and country-level market research.
PTC estimates are modelled from public evidence and proprietary methodologies. They are not company-reported figures unless explicitly identified as such. Observed counts reflect PTC's firm register at read time; rankings, search demand and industry scale are published on their own schedules and are labelled with the period they represent.
