Best Futures Prop Firms
Ranked by our own editorial score. We earn a commission on some sign-ups, which does not affect a firm's score — how we rate.
A futures prop firm funds a trader on exchange-traded futures contracts rather than forex CFDs, usually on CME products through NinjaTrader, Rithmic or Tradovate. Evaluations tend to be cheaper than forex challenges and are often billed monthly, and the drawdown is frequently trailing rather than fixed, which is the rule that catches most new traders out.
The firms below are the futures-focused firms we have reviewed, ranked by our editorial score. Each entry links to the full review, where that firm’s drawdown type, payout terms and platform costs are set out. Scores follow our published rating methodology. Firms that have closed, paused trading or carry unresolved payout complaints are excluded from this ranking.
Futures firms mostly bill monthly, which changes the arithmetic completely — our cheapest prop firm comparison works through what that costs against a one-time fee. The full library is in our prop firm reviews, and our status tracker records which firms have since closed or paused.
