Stay In The Loop With The
Best Prop Firm Deals

A proprietary trading firm (prop firm) provides traders with capital to trade in exchange for a share of the profits. You trade their simulated capital, keep most of the gains, and only risk the cost of the evaluation fee — never your own trading capital.

Use our Match quiz — it takes 2 minutes and recommends a specific plan based on your budget, account size, drawdown preference, payout schedule, consistency rule tolerance, news trading habits and how many accounts you want to run. You can also compare all 80 plans in the table on the home page, or put any 2 or 3 plans head to head on the Compare page.

An evaluation account requires you to hit a profit target while staying within drawdown limits before you get funded. Instant funding (also called S2F or Direct) skips the evaluation — you pay a higher upfront fee and start trading for payouts immediately. Firms like Tradeify (Lightning), Vest Markets (Vest Instant), Lucid (LucidDirect), FundedNext (FN Direct) and Blue Guardian (Direct) offer instant funding options.

A consistency rule limits how much of your total profit can come from a single trading day. For example, a 40% consistency rule means no single day can account for more than 40% of your total profit. Some plans apply it to the evaluation, some to the funded account before a payout, and some have none — the Consistency column in the table shows both.

EOD (End of Day) trailing drawdown only moves your loss floor up at the market close, based on your closing balance. Intraday trailing drawdown moves the floor up in real time with your highest balance, including open profit, so giving back gains during a trade can breach the account. Static drawdown never moves: the floor stays a fixed amount below your starting balance.

More than passing. After the evaluation, most firms want a profit buffer, a minimum payout amount, a number of winning or trading days, and sometimes a consistency rule before your first withdrawal — and some cap how much that first payout can be. The Compare page lays out the road to first payout for any plan: what you pay, what you need to pass, what you need to qualify once funded, and how much you can take out.
