Compare prop firms by market and program rules
Use one comparison table for Forex, Futures and Crypto. Start with Firms for the provider overview, then open Challenges to compare individual programs. The best fit depends on the account's total cost, loss allowance, payout conditions and support for your trading approach.
Comparing Forex prop firms
Check the available currency pairs, platform, leverage and trading permissions for the exact program. A provider's platform list does not confirm that every account supports every connection. Compare daily and overall loss limits alongside the profit target and minimum trading days.
Check whether news trading, overnight or weekend holding is permitted at both the evaluation and funded stages. Include evaluation purchases, resets and any recurring or activation charges in your cost comparison. Read the program terms to establish whether accounts are simulated or live and how rewards are calculated.
Compare Forex firms in the tableComparing Futures prop firms
For futures, compare usable drawdown and contract limits before the advertised account balance. Check mini and micro allowances, supported contracts, scaling rules and the connection required for TradingView, Tradovate or NinjaTrader. Confirm platform and market-data costs with the provider.
Total cost and funding model
An evaluation requires you to satisfy passing conditions before the next account stage. Direct or instant funding skips that evaluation step, but still has loss limits and payout conditions. Neither product name establishes that the account uses live capital.
Add the initial fee, subscription renewals, resets, activation and data charges where applicable. For illustration, a $100 purchase plus two $100 renewals and an $80 activation fee totals $380 before other charges. These are example amounts, not a provider's prices. Check whether a discount also applies to renewals.
Static, intraday and end-of-day drawdown
Find the starting loss floor, what moves it, when it updates and whether it eventually locks. A static floor stays fixed under the stated rules. Intraday trailing may follow an intraday high, including unrealized profit if specified; end-of-day trailing recalculates from the specified closing balance.
For illustration, a $50,000 account with $2,000 trailing drawdown starts with a $48,000 floor. An applicable high-water mark of $51,500 would move it to $49,500 unless a lock or cap applies. The advertised $50,000 is not the amount available to lose.
Calculation and enforcement are separate. Tradeify's official rules describe an end-of-day floor enforced in real time against net liquidation, including unrealized P&L. End-of-day calculation does not mean a trader can breach the existing floor during the session.
Payout eligibility and trading restrictions
A profit split does not establish when or how much you can withdraw. Compare qualifying days, consistency requirements, minimum profit, buffers, payout caps and the balance left after withdrawal. Check whether a payout changes the loss floor.
Tradeify's Select Flex and Select Daily policies illustrate different payout conditions within one firm. Compare the specific program and purchase cohort, rather than assuming one firm-wide rule.
Check news-event restrictions, session closing deadlines and time zones, overnight holding and order restrictions. Confirm the evaluation and funded stages separately. Permission to trade news does not remove execution risk or loss limits.
Compare Futures firms in the tableComparing Crypto prop firms
Check which crypto instruments the account actually offers and how they are traded. A crypto label alone does not establish exchange access, spot ownership, derivative type or weekend availability. Confirm the platform, leverage, trading hours and holding restrictions for the program.
Compare daily and maximum loss rules, execution charges and payout conditions. Firms can appear in more than one market because their stored instrument lists overlap; this does not make the rules of different programs interchangeable.

The table displays stored firm and program data. Market categories reflect recorded instrument support; verify individual account availability. Sorting by a stored rating is a catalog sort, not a ranking produced by this guide or evidence of firsthand testing.
Missing values mean information is not provided, not that a fee or restriction is absent. Record update dates are not verification dates. We have not reverified every catalog field; confirm current rules and checkout prices with the provider before purchasing.
