Modelled estimates of active traders, funded traders and trader payouts across PTC's tracked proprietary trading market.
PTC estimates are modelled values, not company-reported industry totals.
The published baseline aggregates for the PTC modelled cohort — the same locked figures shown on the PTC Industry Dashboard™.
How each published estimate divides between PTC's two public modelled universes. These are modelled-universe components, not estimates of every prop firm globally, and shares are calculated only from the published components above.

Being modelled means a firm is inside a model's cohort and contributes to the aggregate. A publicly publishable firm-level estimate is a stricter test: the individual value must also meet PTC's publication requirements. A firm can therefore be modelled without its own estimate being shown.
| Model | Version | Modelled firms | Model eligibility universe | Coverage | Public firm estimates | Withheld | Avg. confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active Trader Model™ v2.0 | active_trader_v2.0 | 207 | 418 | 49.5% | 207 | 0 | Not scored |
| Funded Trader Model™ v2.0 | funded_trader_v2.0 | 207 | 418 | 49.5% | 207 | 0 | Not scored |
| Monthly Payout Model™ v2.0 | monthly_payout_v2.0 | 207 | 418 | 49.5% | 207 | 0 | Not scored |
Withheld firm-level estimates remain internal because their confidence, evidence or universe classification does not meet publication requirements. Missing confidence is reported as “Not scored”, never as zero.
People estimated to be actively trading evaluation or funded accounts within the modelled cohort.
No firm-level estimates for this model currently meet PTC's publication requirements, so no firm table is shown. The aggregate above remains published because it is a modelled cohort total, not a sum of publishable firm rows.
View Active Trader Model™ methodologyTraders estimated to currently hold at least one funded account within the modelled cohort.
No firm-level estimates for this model currently meet PTC's publication requirements, so no firm table is shown. The aggregate above remains published because it is a modelled cohort total, not a sum of publishable firm rows.
View Funded Trader Model™ methodologyThe Estimated Monthly Payout Run-Rate™ is the payout volume modelled for a typical current month across the modelled cohort. It is a modelled run-rate, not an observed or company-reported aggregate.
Firm-level payout publication is materially narrower than the active- and funded-trader models: 207 of 207 modelled firms currently qualify for firm-level display. The aggregate run-rate above is modelled across all 207 cohort firms — it is not the sum of the firms listed below, and the narrow publication list does not mean the model itself covers only those firms.
No firm-level estimates for this model currently meet PTC's publication requirements, so no firm table is shown. The aggregate above remains published because it is a modelled cohort total, not a sum of publishable firm rows.

PTC estimates are modelled from public evidence and proprietary methodologies. They are not company-reported figures unless explicitly identified as such.
