The futures funding guide
What is a futures prop firm?
A futures prop firm offers trading programs with account fees, risk limits and payout conditions. Traders complete an evaluation or enter a direct program, then trade under the firm's funded-stage agreement. Funding may be simulated or live; the program determines how performance can qualify for a payout.
This directory brings together 15 futures firms. Open a firm's profile for its specific accounts, rules and pricing, then compare the details that matter to you.
Compare individual account programsHow to choose a futures prop firm
Look at the complete program. Price, drawdown and payout conditions work together.
Compare the full entry cost
Start with the selected account's price and activation fee. Then check monthly renewals, resets, data fees and commissions. A promotional evaluation price may apply only to the first payment. Compare the same account size and billing model when building a shortlist.
Understand true costUnderstand the loss limit
The advertised balance is not your loss allowance. On a $50K account with a $2K maximum-loss limit, the smaller figure and current threshold constrain losses. Compare static, end-of-day trailing and intraday trailing rules separately for evaluation and funded stages.
Explore drawdown scenariosRead the payout conditions
A profit split does not tell you when you can withdraw. Check qualifying trading days, consistency rules, minimum payouts, buffers and caps together. Passing an evaluation does not guarantee a payout, and the funded stage may apply different rules.
Understand payout cyclesMatch the program to your trading
Check permitted contracts, mini-to-micro ratios, position limits, trading hours and automation rules. Confirm country and regional eligibility before buying. An account's headline size is less useful than knowing whether its actual trading conditions fit your approach.
Check firms by countryFrom evaluation to funded trading
- 01
Choose and evaluate
Select a named program and review its targets, costs and limits. An evaluation requires meeting its conditions; direct funding programs skip that separate stage.
- 02
Enter the funded stage
Check whether the account is simulated or live, any activation charge, and the new risk rules. The funded agreement can differ from the evaluation.
- 03
Meet payout requirements
Follow the program's qualifying-day, consistency and buffer requirements. Review withdrawal limits and processing terms before requesting a payout.
Find firms for your platform
Explore listed software and data connections, then check support for the exact account you plan to trade.
Futures prop firms: common questions
Which futures prop firm is best for me?
Start with your platform, budget and trading approach. Compare equivalent accounts, then check drawdown, recurring costs, consistency rules and payout conditions. The directory uses maintained editorial ordering; the order is not a guarantee of suitability or future results.
Are futures funded accounts live or simulated?
Both exist. Simulated funded programs use simulated trading and can offer performance-based payouts under the firm's agreement. Live funded accounts use real capital. Some firms offer a path between stages; check the exact program rather than relying on the word 'funded'.
Does EOD drawdown mean I can only fail at the end of the day?
No. End-of-day describes when the trailing threshold is recalculated. That threshold can still be enforced during the next session. A separate daily-loss limit may also apply. Check the firm's rules for calculation, enforcement and where trailing stops.
Can I use NinjaTrader or TradingView?
Several listed firms support these platforms, but availability can depend on the account and data connection. Confirm the specific plan, supported software, connection fees and permitted automation. Firm-level platform listings do not mean every account supports every combination.
How much does a futures prop account cost?
Use the named account's current offer and activation fee as the starting point. Monthly renewals, resets, platform or data charges, commissions and taxes can add to the total. Check whether a listed code changes the first payment, renewal price or activation charge.
Can US traders use futures prop firms?
Eligibility depends on each firm's residency, state, age, identity and provider requirements. A futures program is not automatically available to every US trader. Use the country directory to narrow your options, then confirm the firm's current agreement.
