Compare Futures Prop Firms

A curated shortlist of futures-oriented funding programmes. We list specifications only where the firm publishes them officially — anything we cannot confirm shows as “Not specified” rather than a guess.

Methodology

Methodology: firms on this page are selected for futures relevance and listed in editorial order of how often they fit the trader profiles we cover — not by payout size, commission, or any performance claim. We publish specifications only when they can be confirmed on the firm's own official site; anything unconfirmed is shown as "Not specified". Always verify current rules and pricing with the firm before purchasing.

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you purchase through one of these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Our recommendations are based on the factors explained on each page.

Not sure what to compare on?

Read the mechanics first — drawdown model, daily loss limits and payout rules decide far more outcomes than the headline account size.

Ready to pick a programme?

Match the drawdown model and payout rules to how you actually trade, then open the firm's own plan page and verify the current terms before you buy.
