Best Futures Prop Firms in 2026: Top Funded Futures Firms

All 10 firms have active FundedTrading review pages. The table shows the decisions that actually affect whether you pass and get paid.

FXIFY Futures is the futures arm of FXIFY, a broker-backed prop firm that won FundedTrading’s Best Broker-Backed Prop Firm award for 2026. It uses a fixed (static) drawdown model — the loss floor never moves as profits accumulate. Most futures prop firms use trailing drawdown. With fixed drawdown, your risk parameters are identical on day one and on your last day of the evaluation. That predictability changes how you manage risk.

The first payout is on demand after your first funded trade closes — no minimum day count, no waiting period. Subsequent payouts run on a 14-day cycle. The 5% daily loss limit is the tighter constraint. On a $50K account, a $2,500 daily loss ends your session regardless of overall account health. Plan your session sizing around that hard floor, not just the overall drawdown. FXIFY has processed over $40 million in trader payouts across 13,000-plus traders on its CFD and futures products combined.

Swiss Firmup is built specifically around futures trading — not a CFD firm with a futures add-on. Its rules page lists a 90% profit split, EOD trailing drawdown, and a futures-first product focus. It runs on Rithmic and NinjaTrader infrastructure with a one-time fee model and no monthly subscription. For traders who want a clean futures-dedicated prop firm without the overhead of a multi-asset platform, Swiss Firmup is the strongest option on this list.

The EOD trailing drawdown is the key technical advantage for day traders — your loss floor only adjusts at session close based on your closing balance. A trade that runs up $1,200 intraday and closes up $400 only moves your floor by $400. Swiss Firmup is newer than most firms on this list with a smaller public payout record, but the futures-first positioning and clean rule structure make it a strong pick for traders who want a dedicated environment rather than a multi-asset platform.

PropEd Capital is the only firm on this list that allows overnight and weekend holding, on its Mega Drawdown accounts. It also has the largest drawdown option in the futures prop industry — a 50% maximum drawdown that lets you lose half the account balance without termination. There are no monthly subscription fees. It is a US-based firm with a public founder (Ethan Warmuskerken, Lansing, Michigan).

The Mega Drawdown account requires a clear understanding of the buffer rule before buying. On a $50K Mega DD account, you can lose $25,000 without termination. But you cannot withdraw anything until your balance reaches $62,500 — a $12,500 profit gain — as a buffer must be built first. This is not for the average trader. It suits swing strategies and aggressive approaches that need room to absorb volatility before reaching profitability. In March 2026, PropEd also introduced “TrueRisk” accounts with up to 100% drawdown on smaller sizes.

TradeDay relaunched as TradeDay 2.0 in May 2026 and is the only firm on this list where you choose your drawdown model at the time of purchase — EOD trailing or intraday trailing. There is no daily loss limit on any account type. Only the trailing drawdown applies, which gives traders more room on volatile intraday sessions. Payouts are available from day one after passing, with most requests processed within 24 hours. TradeDay won FundedTrading’s Best Payout Policy Award for 2025.

The EOD trailing drawdown is the standout rule. Your floor only moves at day close based on your realised balance. A trade that runs up $1,200 intraday and closes up $400 moves your floor by $400 only. At firms using intraday trailing, that $1,200 intraday high moves the floor permanently. The no-daily-loss-limit rule adds further room — one large losing session does not end your account as long as the overall trailing drawdown is not breached. The consistency rule (30% per day on Quick Pay, 45% on Fast Pass during evaluation) is removed entirely once you are funded. Read the TradeDayX platform review for platform detail.

Savius has been operating since 2013 — over a decade ahead of most retail prop firms on this list. It offers instant funded accounts with no evaluation challenge. You buy, you trade, the rules apply from day one. The platforms are professional order-flow tools (ATAS, Quantower, Volumetrica) rather than chart-based platforms, which makes Savius the right pick for traders who use depth of market, volume profile, or order flow analysis as part of their process.

The intraday trailing drawdown based on peak equity including unrealised P&L is the hardest drawdown model on this list. If your trade goes up $800 unrealised and you give it all back, your floor still moved. Set a manual daily loss limit in your platform slightly tighter than the Savius threshold to avoid a breach on an intraday pullback. After three consecutive payouts, Savius reviews traders for a Live Account — no consistency rule, no payout cap, news trading allowed, and a 80/20 split on live capital.

PropShop Trader is a multi-asset prop firm launched in 2025 that funds traders across US futures and US equities on a single platform — Tickblaze. The evaluation uses a benchmark-based model rather than a traditional pass/fail challenge. Traders progress through structured milestones that lead to a Real Prop Trading Account. Day trading and swing trading are both available on each asset class. Overnight holding is allowed on Direct swing accounts.

The Sprint evaluation is the most relevant futures entry point. It requires one trading day to pass with EOD drawdown and a 3-day payout cycle. After PSTGLAD, a Sprint 25K starts at $27.50 and a Sprint 50K at $42.50. The built-in Tickblaze algo builder includes 12 pre-built automated strategies covering MACD, RSI, VWAP, and others — free with every account. This is a genuine differentiator for traders who want to test or run automated approaches without a separate platform subscription. Registration is through Estonia (PropShopTrader OÜ).

Active codes as of June 2026: PSTGLAD for 75% off Light or Stocks accounts, SPRINT for 50% off Sprint evaluations, RESET70 for 70% off resets.

E8 Markets is not a futures-only firm. It offers futures access alongside forex, crypto, and commodities — which makes it the right pick for traders who want futures inside a broader multi-asset prop firm ecosystem. It runs on TradeLocker and Match Trader rather than NinjaTrader or Rithmic, which is the main platform consideration. If you are already trading E8’s forex or crypto accounts, adding futures access in the same environment is the practical case for choosing it here.

The 80% profit split is the lowest on this list. Firms above offer 90%. If maximising split is the primary goal, filter upward. E8’s value is breadth — one firm, multiple markets, one account dashboard. For futures-dedicated traders who are not already in the E8 ecosystem, the platform (TradeLocker / Match Trader rather than Rithmic / NinjaTrader) may not match the execution style most futures traders use.

Blueberry Futures launched in November 2025 as the futures arm of Blueberry Markets, an ASIC-regulated broker operating since 2016. It is one of two broker-backed options on this list (alongside FXIFY Futures). US traders are accepted — unlike the forex sister firm Blueberry Funded, which restricts US residents. The main constraint is the platform: Blackarrow only, with no NinjaTrader, Rithmic, or TradingView support.

The broker backing is the main differentiator. Blueberry Markets has been ASIC-regulated since 2016 — that institutional infrastructure is behind the payout and execution setup. Blueberry Futures is new (launched November 2025), so the public payout record is thin. Its Trustpilot page has only 5 reviews as of June 2026. The Blackarrow platform is not widely used in the futures community — traders coming from NinjaTrader or Rithmic will need to assess whether it fits their execution workflow before purchasing.

My Funded Futures (MFFU) offers a 100% profit split on the first $10,000 withdrawn — higher than any other firm on this list for early withdrawals. After that threshold it moves to 90%. The evaluation uses EOD trailing drawdown with no daily loss limit. Most payout requests are processed automatically, with manual review completing in 6 to 12 hours on weekdays. The one-time fee model avoids monthly subscription pressure.

The 100% split on the first $10K is a real differentiator — most other firms cap at 90% from the first dollar. The no-daily-loss-limit rule during evaluation is a structural advantage: one bad session does not end your account as long as the EOD trailing drawdown floor is not breached. Account sizes start at $50K with no $25K option, so traders who want the smallest possible entry point should look at Blueberry Futures ($25K) or Savius ($25K Raptor) instead.

Alpha Futures offers a 1-step evaluation on NinjaTrader, TradingView, and Tradovate infrastructure with EOD trailing drawdown and a one-time fee. It is a clean entry point for traders comparing futures-only firms without the overhead of monthly billing. No daily drawdowns apply during evaluation — only the EOD trailing model. Bi-weekly payouts with a 90% profit split.

Alpha Futures is a no-frills futures evaluation. The platform stack (NinjaTrader, TradingView, Tradovate) is wider than most firms at this price point. The one-time fee means no monthly billing pressure if the evaluation runs long. Check the FundedTrading review page for current pricing and specific drawdown dollar amounts by account size, as Alpha Futures has updated terms since launch.

Most traders who fail evaluations do so because of rule mismatches, not lack of trading ability. These are the most common avoidable mistakes.

Buying for the discount, not the drawdown type

A 75% off code does not fix a rule mismatch. A monthly subscription is more expensive than a one-time fee if you take three months to pass. Calculate total cost of funding before comparing discounts. See the cheapest prop firms guide if cost is your primary filter.

Ignoring the payout eligibility requirements

Map the first payout before you buy. Minimum trading days, daily profit requirements, required buffer amounts, consistency rule limits, and payout caps all determine whether you can access your earnings. A 90% split you cannot reach is worse than an 80% split with clear terms.

Assuming futures rules work like forex prop rules

Futures prop firms operate on contract limits, not lot sizes. Session close rules, exchange-listed instruments, and platform infrastructure differ significantly from CFD-style prop firms. Our futures prop firm trading guide covers the key differences before you buy.

Picking the largest account instead of the most manageable one

A $150K account requires larger contract sizing and higher profit targets. For most traders, a $50K account with understood rules outperforms a $150K account with rule friction. Start with the smallest account where the payout math is viable, not the largest one you can afford.
