A highlighted cell means that value is more favourable to the trader on a measure with a defensible direction — cheaper, more drawdown room, a lower target. Rows where the better choice depends on how you trade, such as leverage or platform support, are shown without a highlight. Prop Firm Pal earns affiliate commission from some listed firms; this never affects the figures above.
