With an overall rating of 88/100, FundedNext Futures is a futures-focused evaluation platform offering four challenge models - Rapid, Legacy, Bolt, and the new Flex challenge - each with different profit targets and loss limits. FundedNext Futures offers $25K, $50K, $100K and (on Flex) $150K accounts. Bolt is a single $50K product. All accounts operate in a simulated trading environment using demo accounts.

FundedNext Futures is a division of the FundedNext brand.
FXIFY Futures ranked 1st out of 12 futures prop firms we've tested firsthand, earning a score of 88/100. It offers three programmes - Standard Plan, Expert Plan, and Direct to Sim Live - with no time limits on evaluations. All accounts operate in a simulated trading environment designed to mirror futures market conditions.
Supported platforms include Tradovate, TradingView (via Tradovate), and NinjaTrader. Standard accounts pay 80% profit split, while Expert and Direct to Sim Live pay 90% by default, with a 100% split available via the add-on. Payouts can be requested every 14 calendar days once eligibility is met.
With an overall rating of 85/100, Blueberry Futures is a futures-focused evaluation platform under the Blueberry family of brands, offering two one-step challenges with clear trading rules. Blueberry Futures offers $25K, $50K, $100K, and $150K accounts on both Ascent and Accelerated programs. You can trade CME futures covering equity futures, micro equity futures, FX futures, livestock, and micro crypto on the BlackArrow trading terminal, available via desktop app, web terminal, and mobile app.
Blueberry Futures is part of the Blueberry family of brands. The setup is straightforward - two one-step challenges, identical targets across all account sizes, and a choice between the more forgiving Ascent (end-of-day drawdown) or the tighter Accelerated (real-time trailing drawdown). Fees start at $129 for the Accelerated $25K account and $139 for the Ascent $25K account. No activation fees are charged. All accounts operate in a simulated trading environment.
With an overall rating of 82/100, The5ers Futures is the futures-only branch of The5ers, built for traders who want to trade futures products through a low-cost evaluation model rather than the firm's CFD programmes. This is a separate product from The5ers CFD review, where we cover Bootcamp, High Stakes, Hyper Growth, MT5, MatchTrader, CFD leverage and the firm's CFD scaling path.
The futures branch is simpler. It has two programmes, Day Trade and Swing, with account sizes from $25K to $150K. Current fees start from $59, there are no monthly evaluation fees, and both programmes use the same headline rules: 6% evaluation target, 4% funded target, 4% end-of-day max loss and a 40% per-position consistency rule.
The5ers Futures uses BlackArrow only. That is the biggest platform limitation. You do not get NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Rithmic, MT5 or MatchTrader on the futures side. If you want CFDs with The5ers, the main The5ers CFD review is the better page to read. If you want futures, this review covers the Day Trade and Swing accounts, payout rules, platform limits, commissions, scaling and who the futures branch actually suits.
Alpha Futures scored 80/100 in our review. It is a futures prop firm offering one-step simulated evaluations across Zero, Premium and Advanced accounts. It sits within the wider Alpha trading ecosystem, but this review focuses on Alpha Futures as the futures-only prop trading product for traders who want CME market access, futures platforms, contract-based position limits and a route to profit payouts through a funded account.
Advanced is the strongest account type for experienced traders. The targets are higher and the monthly cost is higher, but the funded account rules are cleaner. There is no scaling plan, no Daily Loss Guard, no funded account reset fee, and the max payout is $15,000 across all Advanced account sizes.
Earn2Trade scored 48/100 in our 2026 review. The firm offers two one-step futures evaluations - Trader Career Path (TCP) and Gauntlet Mini - with account sizes from TCP25 to GAU200 and a $400K growth plan through the TCP progression ladder. Education is a genuine strength, with full educational material during the evaluation, Journalytix access, webinars, articles, videos, and a separate Beginner Crash Course with 60 short lessons.
Funded account rules are restrictive rather than vague. Verified funded rules include an 80/20 profit split, approved trading times and daily loss limits, progression ladder, LiveSim EOD drawdown or Live trailing drawdown, monthly data fees unless the trader has their own feed, and termination after five consecutive unscheduled trading-day absences. In 2025, 94.77% of passers traded LiveSim accounts. LiveSim payout caps apply - Gauntlet Mini LiveSim accounts can withdraw up to $4,000 after reaching $5,000 profit, while TCP LiveSim withdrawals are capped at the profit target minus 20%.
Withdrawals are processed weekly on Wednesdays with a $100 minimum net withdrawal. Withdrawal methods are assigned by the firm and include Rise, Deel, Bayzat, and Direct Crypto. The firm operates on futures only across CME, COMEX, NYMEX, and CBOT - no ICE, no EUREX, and no stocks, options, forex, crypto, or CFDs. Platforms include NinjaTrader, Finamark, and Rithmic. The evaluations are not suggested for people with little trading experience, with an 8.89% pass rate in 2025.
With an overall score of 58/100, MyFundedFutures ranked 7th place out of 16 futures prop firms we tested, with our research team having a mixed trading experience. The firm's three account types cater to different types of futures traders, but restrictive payout policies, high monthly fees for some plans, and rigid profit-sharing rules dropped the firm a few places.
While the range of futures account types allows for some flexibility compared to other firms, strict consistency rules and limited payout options may make it less ideal for active traders.
OneUp Trader scored 57/100 overall and is a popular prop firm for futures trading. You can qualify for funding in as little as 10 days - or just 5 with the Express Funding option (available only to previously funded traders with an FTA termination in the past 30 days) - while keeping 100% of your first $10,000 in profits and 90% after that.
However, the futures prop firm has clear limitations. Monthly fees during the evaluation phase can add up, especially if you don't pass on the first try. Some traders have also flagged issues with strict rule enforcement and platform stability. While the evaluation is simple, the tight trailing drawdown can be a hurdle for more aggressive strategies.
OneUp Trader is best suited for disciplined futures traders who value simplicity and platform variety but may not be ideal if you're looking for more asset class flexibility or a lower-cost path to funding.
TradeDay scored 63/100 in our 2026 review. The firm offers three one-step futures evaluations - Intraday, End of Day (EOD), and Static - with account sizes of $50K, $100K, and $150K. Evaluations require a minimum of 5 trading days, and no single day's profit may exceed 30% of total profit.
TradeDay is day-trading only - all positions must be closed before the market closes and at least 10 minutes prior to the end of any session. No holding positions over tier 1 market data releases. Three drawdown models are available: Intraday trailing max drawdown, EOD trailing max drawdown, and Static fixed drawdown. Drawdowns vary by product and size (e.g. $50K Intraday has $2,000 trailing max drawdown, $100K Intraday has $3,000, $150K Intraday has $4,000, while Static accounts use fixed drawdowns from $500 to $1,000).
Profit share starts at 80% from day one, with the potential to reach 95%. Day one payouts are marketed with no restrictions on withdrawal frequency. Monthly membership stops once funded, and funded traders do not pay additional commission on trading. No activation fee applies.
The firm operates on futures only across CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX. Stocks, options, forex, cryptocurrency, and CFDs are not permitted. Platforms include NinjaTrader and Tradovate. Third-party trading bots and automated trading systems are banned, as is software or AI used to manipulate or gain an unfair advantage. TradeDay has operated since 2020 and published a pass rate of 28.2% (October 2023 – March 2024).
Tradeify scored 82/100 when our research team tested and reviewed the popular US futures prop firm. Tradeify currently offers three challenge models: Growth (1-step evaluation), Lightning Funded (instant funding), and Select Challenge (1-step evaluation with a choice of Select Flex or Select Daily funded payout policy). The Advanced Challenge is no longer available for new purchases as of December 2025. All funded accounts (Growth, Lightning, Select Flex, Select Daily) are simulated, with Tradeify Elite Live as the real-capital live stage issued through NinjaTrader brokerage. Payout rules vary by funded account type, with a 90% profit split on sim funded accounts. Tradeify now highlights 80,000+ traders and $110M+ verified payouts.
E8 Markets scored 64/100 in our 2026 review. The firm offers four distinct one-step models - E8 One, Signature Forex, Signature Futures, and Signature Crypto - each with different drawdown systems, platform options, leverage, and payout rules. E8 One is the most flexible, with customisable drawdown (4%–14% real-time trailing), payout splits upgradeable from 80% to 100% via add-ons, and account sizes from $5K to $500K starting at $40. Signature accounts use fixed rules with 3%–4% EOD trailing drawdown, an 80% profit split, and account sizes of $50K–$150K starting at $130.
All trading is simulated - E8 is not broker-backed, and the official site states that payouts are discretionary and tied to E8's acceptance and licensing of performance data. Weekend and overnight holding are allowed on E8 One only; all Signature accounts are intraday-only. News trading is allowed in evaluation on all accounts but restricted once funded on E8 One; Signature accounts allow news trading at all stages. EAs are allowed on E8 One, Signature Forex, and Signature Crypto, but not on Signature Futures, which is manual and intraday only with positions auto-closing at 15:10 CT.
Payout rules differ significantly by model. E8 One has no payout buffer and no payout caps, but requires the best day to be ≤40% of total profits and the payout to exceed 50% of the daily DD value. Signature accounts are more restrictive: best day ≤35%, minimum 3 profitable days (0.3% closed profit each) for the first payout, 5 profitable days between subsequent payouts, a mandatory payout buffer equal to the EOD trailing drawdown, and progressive payout caps that only increase with payout history. There is no traditional scaling plan - traders wanting more capital use multiple funded accounts.
Apex Trader Funding scored 74/100 in our 2026 review. The firm has transitioned from legacy monthly subscription evaluations to one-time fee products with 30-day access and no recurring billing. Current products are split by drawdown model - EOD (trailing End-of-Day drawdown with Daily Loss Limit) and Intraday (trailing real-time drawdown with no DLL) - with vendor options including Rithmic, Tradovate, and WealthCharts.
Account sizes available for new purchases are 25K, 50K, 100K, and 150K. Evaluations have no minimum trading days and can be passed in as little as 1 day. Funded Performance Accounts (PAs) use tier-based contract scaling. Payout eligibility requires 5 qualifying trading days with minimum daily profit thresholds. Approved payouts are paid at a 100% split. Safety net is required for the life of the PA, with only profit above the safety net eligible for withdrawal. Maximum 6 payout requests per PA with a $500 minimum and 50% payout consistency rule.
Apex accepts traders from over 100 countries with international payouts supported through Plane (ACH for US traders). The firm offers futures across equity, currency, agricultural, energy, crypto (micro only), and EUREX, though COMEX and all metals are temporarily unavailable. Trading platforms include Rithmic, Tradovate, WealthCharts, NinjaTrader (for Rithmic setup), and RTrader Pro.
Topstep scored 83/100 in our 2026 testing, placing 3rd on our list of the 10 best futures prop firms. Topstep has one evaluation step - the Trading Combine - after which traders move to an Express Funded Account where payouts begin. A Live Funded Account is available as a later upgrade. Topstep now offers Standard and No Activation Fee paths for the Trading Combine. For traders who joined on or after 12 January 2026, payouts are subject to a 90/10 split. Payout requests can be made in as little as 3 days, with Express Funded offering Standard and Consistency payout paths. TopstepX is the main current platform.
The Trading Pit scores 80/100 with simulated CFD, Futures and Stocks challenges under one provider, operated by The Trading Pit Challenge GmbH in Vaduz, Liechtenstein. CFD Prime runs on cTrader as a 1 Phase ($5K-$200K, $49-$1,139) or 2 Phase ($5K-$100K, $49-$569) evaluation. Futures Prime runs on NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic, Quantower, ATAS and Volsys with no activation fee on new accounts, a fixed daily pause of $1,000/$2,000/$3,000, and rewards capped at the lower of $5,000 or 50% of realised profit. Stocks run on Volumetrica with a 7% target, 2% daily pause and a 70/30 Earning split. The maximum profit split is 80% on CFD and Futures Prime. All accounts use virtual funds in a simulated environment.
The wider group is majority owned by Pinorena Capital, whose portfolio also includes the regulated brokers Tickmill and Darwinex, and runs the Seychelles-regulated brokerage arm TTP Markets (launched 17 February 2026). For Prime CFD cTrader accounts, Tickmill supplies liquidity and execution. Provider-stated stats: more than $16M paid to traders, 10,000+ active monthly accounts, 450K+ monthly trades and 180+ supported countries. Scaling reaches up to $5,000,000.
Elite Trader Funding scored 47/100 in our review. It offers six distinct evaluation models - 1 Step, Direct to Funded, Static, Diamond Hands, End of Day, and Fast Track - with wide instrument access across major US futures exchanges and flexible platform support.
The firm highlights 53,000+ happy customers, $12M+ in total payouts, and 4+ years in business. Traders can keep up to 100% of the first $12,500, then 90% after, with up to $150,000 in lifetime sim-funded profit before further criteria apply. Same day payout approval is available, and minimum qualified days to first payout are 8 for most plans. Top performers are invited to LIVE Elite, where they trade real capital, can withdraw daily, and may receive performance bonuses - though this is not an automatic progression and remains at ETF's discretion.
Evaluation fees start from $16.50 on promotional pricing, but traders should note that ETF uses discount-led promotional pricing that may not reflect permanent base rates. Max drawdown varies by plan and account size rather than a flat percentage. Rules around news trading, weekend holding, copy trading, and EAs are plan-specific rather than blanket policies. The 10-second rule prohibits entering and exiting within 10 seconds across all stages.
Goat Funded Futures scored 65/100 in our 2026 review. The firm offers three distinct models - EOD Evaluation, Static Evaluation, and Instant Funding - each with different drawdown rules, pricing structures, and payout requirements. Traders keep 100% of the first $10,000 in profit, after which the split moves to 90%–95% depending on trader level.
Drawdown and daily loss rules vary significantly by model: EOD uses trailing EOD drawdown (3.67%–5%) with a 2.5% daily loss limit only once funded; Static uses fixed drawdown (3.33%–4.17%) with no daily loss limit; Instant uses trailing real-time drawdown (5%) with a 3% daily loss cap. Consistency rules also differ - EOD/Static use 50% during evaluation and 30% when funded, while Instant limits profit concentration to 20% per day.
All plans include access to 55 CME futures instruments and nine trading platforms including Project X, NinjaTrader, Quantower, ATAS, Volumetrica, Volsys, TradingView, VolBook, and Tradovate, with no added costs for data or software. Copy trading is allowed between your own accounts but not between different traders. Algorithmic trading / EAs are not clearly confirmed by the firm. Payout windows are fixed (5th–8th and 20th–23rd each month). Commission rates are not publicly disclosed but typically estimated at $1.50–$2.50 per round turn.
Scores and rules only tell you so much. Inside our Discord, thousands of funded traders compare notes on the firms ranked above - which payouts actually landed, which rules bite in practice, and which challenges were not worth the fee. Ask before you buy, and hear it from people trading the account.
The charges that decide what a funded account really earns
Futures evaluations are usually billed monthly rather than once, and two recurring costs sit on top of the account fee. Both are easy to miss when comparing headline prices.
Exchange market data
Live CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX data carries an exchange subscription, billed monthly. Firms differ on whether they absorb it, bundle it, or pass it to you - and a non-professional CME bundle is a real monthly line item on top of the evaluation.
Round-turn commissions
Every contract in and out pays commission, typically $1.50-$4.00 round turn depending on the product and the firm's routing. On an active intraday strategy this dwarfs the account fee, so compare per-contract cost before headline price.
Monthly account fees
Most futures evaluations are a subscription, not a one-off purchase. A slow pass costs more than a fast one, and an account left dormant still bills - which changes the maths against forex firms that charge once.
Best Prop Trading Platforms
Comparing the platforms you'll actually trade on
Futures prop firms run on an entirely different platform stack to forex firms - you will not find MetaTrader here. Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView, Rithmic, Quantower and Volumetrica cover most of the market, and the firm's choice of order-routing technology matters as much as the front end you click in.
Tradovate
NinjaTrader
TradingView
Front-end platforms
Tradovate is browser-based and needs no install; NinjaTrader is the desktop standard for automated strategies and custom indicators; TradingView is used for charting with execution routed through a connected broker. Each exposes different order types and DOM behaviour, so the platform decides how you scalp, not just how charts look.
Order routing and data
Rithmic and CQG are routing and data providers rather than platforms - your front end connects through one of them to the exchange. The provider decides fill latency and which data feed you subscribe to, which is why two firms offering the same platform can still execute very differently.
MetaTrader 4 by MetaQuotes (MT4)
The industry standard for forex prop trading
MetaTrader is still the standard for most prop firms. MT4 works well if you are a forex prop trader, while MT5 adds more order types, more timeframes, and better support for multi-asset trading. If you've traded retail accounts before, you've probably already used one of them.
Key Features
Charting tools with multiple timeframes and a solid library of technical indicators
Automated trading through Expert Advisors (EAs)
Large marketplace of custom scripts and strategies built by other traders
Copy trading options if you want to follow other accounts
Advantages
Almost every prop firm supports MetaTrader, so switching firms is easy
Custom indicators and automated strategies carry over between firms
Massive community support with guides, tools, and fixes
Stable and reliable, even though the interface looks dated
cTrader by Spotware
Modern execution with deeper market visibility
cTrader is a more modern platform and will suit if you care more about execution quality and order flexibility. It feels cleaner than MetaTrader and gives you a clearer view of pricing and trade data, which can help if you're sensitive to slippage or partial fills.
Key Features
Level II pricing for a deeper look at market liquidity
A wide range of order types for more control over entries and exits
cTrader Automate for custom strategy development in C#
Open API for integrating custom tools
Advantages
Modern and intuitive interface with cleaner trade reporting
Strong automation options with full C# programming support
Execution tools are more precise than MT4 or MT5
How To Select The Right Prop Trading Firm
The factors that actually matter when choosing a firm
For futures, the decisive factors are different from forex. Trailing drawdown type comes first, then the contract limit during evaluation versus funded, then consistency rules that cap what share of profit a single day may contribute, then the real cost per contract once exchange data and commission are added.
1
Profit Payout Structure
Profit splits range anywhere from 50% to 90%, and while a higher percentage sounds good, it only matters if the firm pays consistently and without delays. Make sure you balance the split against the firm's reputation for actually delivering payouts.
2
Evaluation Process
The evaluation, or challenge, is how you prove yourself worthy of a funded account. Some firms use a one-step evaluation process that gets you funded quickly, while others have two or three step challenges that give you more chances but take longer. If you want to start trading fast, one-step, or even instant funding accounts, are the way to go.
3
Account Types and Costs
Check both the upfront fee and any ongoing charges. One-time fees are simple to manage, but some firms add monthly costs for trading platforms or data. Look beyond the advertised fee and factor in commissions and spreads, since these can eat into profits.
4
Leverage Offered
Leverage varies across firms and broker-backed firms usually mirror the leverage of their broker, while independent firms sometimes push it higher. Higher leverage gives you more potential upside but also more risk of hitting drawdown limits, so pick a firm whose leverage lines up with how you trade.
5
Trading Platforms and Tools
Confirm what platforms are supported - most firms offer MT4, MT5, or cTrader, and some now include TradingView. If you use automation, check whether EAs, cBots, or APIs are supported. A good firm should also provide risk dashboards or account metrics that help you stay inside their rules.
6
Range of Markets
Some firms are forex markets only, while others also offer indices, commodities, stocks, or crypto. Make sure the firm gives you access to the instruments you actually plan to trade, otherwise you'll be forced to adjust your strategy.
7
Customer Support and Education
Support is more important than some people realise. If payouts are delayed or platforms have issues, you want fast responses. Check if the firm has live chat or at least quick email turnaround. Educational resources are useful if you're still developing, but they're less critical if you already have a working strategy.
8
Trust and Community
Since most prop firms aren't regulated like brokers, their track record is what counts. Look for consistent payout history, clear rules, and a community of traders who can share experiences. A strong community can also give you ideas and support while you're trading the firm's capital.
9
Account Opening Process
Getting started shouldn't take long. Most firms now have simple sign-up and verification steps. If the process feels slow or overly complicated, that's usually a sign of how the firm operates in other areas too.
What is a Proprietary Trading Firm?
A futures prop firm gives a trader a simulated account funded with the firm's risk capital to trade exchange-listed futures - E-mini S&P, Nasdaq, crude, gold and the rest of the CME complex - in exchange for a share of the profits. Nearly all funded futures accounts are simulated: the firm mirrors your fills in the live market rather than routing your order directly.
Because the products are exchange-listed, pricing is the same for everyone and firms compete on rules, routing and cost instead of spread. That shifts the comparison onto trailing drawdown type, contract limits and per-contract commission.
Prop firms evaluate traders through challenges before granting access to funded accounts, making them a popular choice for those looking to scale their trading without personal risk.

How Prop Firms Make Money
Prop firms make money primarily through challenge fees, profit splits, and trading costs. You pay an upfront fee to attempt a challenge, and since many fail, this provides prop firms with steady income. Once a trader is funded, the firm takes a percentage of their profits, typically 10–30%, as part of the funding agreement. Some firms, especially broker-backed ones, also earn from spreads, commissions, and platform fees, as they are connected to regulated brokers.
Prop Challenges and the Evaluation Process
How prop firms assess traders before granting funded accounts
Futures evaluations set a profit target against a trailing drawdown and a contract limit, usually with a minimum number of trading days. The trailing drawdown is the thing that fails most traders: an end-of-day trail recalculates once per session, while an intraday trail follows your unrealised equity high tick by tick and can close an account on an open trade that later recovers.
1
One-Step Challenges
One-step evaluations require you to meet profit targets and risk criteria in a single phase. These are quicker to complete but often have stricter rules on drawdown limits. Examples include IC Funded's One Step and FXIFY's One Phase Challenge.
2
Two-Step Challenges
Two-step challenges involve an initial phase with a profit target, followed by a second step usually with a lower target. This model is the most common prop evaluation set up, offered by most prop firms including FXIFY and BrightFunded.
3
Three-Step Challenges
Three-step evaluations are less common but offer a more gradual qualification process. You must pass multiple profit targets, often with increasing account sizes or risk limits. FXIFY and ThinkCapital both offer three-step challenges, but most firms don't.
4
Rapid Challenges
Rapid challenges allow you to qualify for funded accounts within a shorter timeframe, usually 7 to 10 days, with lower profit targets but higher entry fees. These are designed for experienced traders looking for a fast-track evaluation process. There's also even shorter-term challenges emerging, with Eightcap Challenges releasing a day trading challenge where you can trade in a one to eight hour window.
5
Instant Funding Programs
Instant funding accounts bypass the evaluation process completely, and are great for skilled traders wanting to start trading immediately. But in exchange for instant access, you are typically paying higher upfront fees, have stricter parameters, and sometimes receive lower profit splits. FXIFY and Blueberry Funded are considered the best instant funding prop firms.
Funded Accounts
What happens after you pass the challenge
After successfully completing a prop firm's challenge, you receive a funded account where you can trade using the firm's capital. However, not all funded accounts operate the same way. Some firms offer live market execution, but most still use simulated trading environments even at the funded trader stage.
Live Funded Trading
Your trades go directly into the real market, meaning spreads, slippage, and execution speeds reflect actual trading conditions. This is the gold standard for funded accounts.
Simulated Trading
The majority of prop firms keep you on simulated accounts even at the funded stage, meaning your trades do not impact the real market. Performance is tracked internally and payouts are based on results. This can lead to differences in execution, spreads, and slippage compared to live accounts.
Profit Splits
Most prop firms offer 70–90% profit splits, meaning you keep the majority of your earnings. Some firms, like BrightFunded, allow you to scale up to a 100% profit share over time. Payout structures vary, with some firms offering weekly withdrawals, while others require a minimum trading period before you can cash out.
FAQs
What is the most trusted prop firm?
The most trusted prop firms are names like BrightFunded, Eightcap Challenges, FundedNext, and Blueberry Funded, all of which scored over 90/100 against our methodology. BrightFunded is popular thanks to profit splits that scale up to 100% and the best loyalty program in the industry, Eightcap Challenges is backed by an ASIC-regulated broker, while FundedNext and Blueberry Funded have some of the most generous scaling plans and product ranges.
Which prop firm actually pays?
Broker-backed firms like Blueberry Funded and FundedNext are the most reliable for profit payouts. Since they operate under regulated financial structures, you get to benefit from fast withdrawals, direct market execution, and transparent profit sharing. Unlike some independent firms, broker-backed prop firms have fewer payout issues, making them a safer choice if you want to get paid on time. FundedNext even provides a 24-hour payout guarantee, and if you don't receive your withdrawal in time you get $1,000 cash.
How much do you get paid at a prop firm?
Your earnings depend on the profit split, typically between 70–90%. If you make $10,000 with an 80% profit share in your favour, you take home $8,000. Many firms provide weekly or bi-weekly payouts, but some require a minimum trading period before withdrawals. If you are new to prop trading and want to learn more, we recommend reading our prop trading guide for beginners.
Do all prop firms offer forex trading?
No, not all prop firms offer forex trading. Some focus purely on futures, stocks, or crypto, depending on their structure and target market. Forex prop trading is common among broker-backed firms and many independent ones, but it's still important to check what instruments are actually supported before signing up, as few have crypto prop trading.
