We make Proprietary Trading Firms comparable using the same methodology. Our score is based on 500+ criteria — collected and verified through real challenge purchases, live trading, and documented payouts.
SEE ALL 2026 RANKINGS ↓Independently reviewed and ranked for 2026. Updated monthly.
We buy every evaluation with our own money and trade live accounts — not demo environments.
Platform quality, spread analysis, drawdown rules, payout speed, support response — all weighted and scored.
Every review follows the same testing framework so firms can be compared fairly, side by side.
The most trusted prop firm globally. 11 years of documented payout history, 6 evaluation sizes, and support for 40+ instruments across forex, commodities, indices, and crypto.
Best profit split in the industry at 90% from day one. Stellar evaluation model with low minimum days, fast payouts, and a large community of funded traders.
Best for swing traders — no minimum trading days, no consistency rule, and full news trading and weekend holding. Trailing drawdown requires attention.
Fifty percent feels low next to FundedNext's 90 — until you realize The5ers actually gets you to 100% over time, not just on a slide deck.
Funding Pips built a following among traders who got tired of FTMO's stricter rule book — and the weekend-and-news flexibility shows why.
Topstep has been doing this since 2012. In futures prop, that makes it the elder statesman by a wide margin.
No single flashy feature here. Just daily payouts, sensible rules, and years without a major red flag.
Miss your own payout guarantee, and your trader's split jumps to 100%. That's a strange incentive to build into your own pricing — and it's clever.
DNA Funded backs its prices with a regulated broker behind it — rare in this space, and worth something on its own.
Tradeify built its entire pitch around one specific complaint: the consistency rule that gets profitable traders denied elsewhere.
Alpha Capital Group doesn't lead the pack on any single number, but a consistent 4.4-star rating across multiple sites says something too.
Lucid Trading's whole pitch is straightforward rules. In a category full of complicated fine print, that's a real selling point.
Aqua Funded sits in the same $4 million scaling tier as Blue Guardian and The5ers, just without a standout feature of its own yet.
Bulenox lets you run EAs on a funded account. That alone separates it from almost every other futures firm on this list.
TradeDay is solid and unremarkable in the best sense — fair pricing, no alarming rules, nothing to specifically warn you about.
A dollar gets you in the door at Goat Funded Trader. Just know that the payout track record behind it is a fraction of what the bigger names can show.
Finotive Funding is a fair, middle-of-the-road choice — nothing wrong with it, nothing that makes it your first pick either.
