Frequently Asked Questions

What is a futures prop trading firm?
A futures prop trading firm provides capital to traders to trade exchange-listed futures products like ES, NQ, CL, and GC. You trade a funded account, follow pre-defined risk rules, and split profits with the firm — typically 80–100% in the trader's favour.
What's the difference between static and trailing drawdown?
A static drawdown stays fixed at the initial loss limit regardless of account growth. A trailing drawdown moves up as your account grows, which can be more restrictive for scalpers and momentum traders but protects the firm's capital more aggressively.
How much does a futures prop firm challenge cost?
Evaluation fees typically range from $47 to $250+ per month depending on account size. Some firms charge a one-time activation fee after passing. Using verified discount codes from our Offers page can reduce the initial cost significantly.
Which platforms do futures prop firms support?
The most common platforms are NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic, R Trader Pro, and increasingly TradingView. Platform availability varies by firm — always confirm on the firm's profile before purchasing.
Are there futures prop firms that allow EAs or trade copiers?
Yes, several firms explicitly allow automated trading, EAs, and trade copiers. Use the Features filter above to find firms that support these tools. Always review the firm's specific rules regarding automation before using third-party tools.
