86 Coming in at number 1, The5ers has been operating since 2016 and scores 86/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $39 for a 2-phase evaluation. The risk envelope is a static drawdown capped at 10 %, with 5 % allowed per day. Funded traders keep 100 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 14 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit, no consistency rule. Available on mt5, ctrader, tradingview.
Founded in Israel in 2016, The5ers is one of the oldest forex prop firms still operating. Its strongest asset is the rulebook: static drawdown across every program, no time limit and no consistency rule. The tradable universe stays narrow, though — forex, indices, metals and futures, with no crypto and no equities.

80 Ranked 2 on this list, Funded Trading Plus has been operating since 2021 and scores 80/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $89 for a 1-phase evaluation. The risk envelope is a trailing intraday drawdown capped at 6 %, with 4 % allowed per day. Funded traders keep 100 % of profits. Notable freedoms: no time limit, expert advisors allowed. Available on mt5, ctrader, dxtrade, match-trader.
A London firm founded in late 2021 and bought by Instant Funding in May 2026, Funded Trading Plus pays every 7 days on its 1-Step Express and Instant programs, with the split rising from 80 to 100% and scaling up to $5 million. The catch: intraday trailing drawdown on both, and a Trustpilot score the platform has pulled.

78 Ranked 3 on this list, Goat Funded Trader has been operating since 2023 and scores 78/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $36 for a 2-phase evaluation. The risk envelope is a static drawdown capped at 10 %, with 4 % allowed per day. Funded traders keep 100 % of profits. Notable freedoms: no time limit, expert advisors allowed, news trading allowed. Available on mt5, tradelocker, ctrader.
Goat Funded Trader launched in 2023 out of Hong Kong. It publishes a full price grid, runs static drawdown across its three evaluation models, and pays every 14 days with a profit split from 80 % up to 100 %. The counterweight: its Trustpilot score is suspended over fake reviews, rules tightened in summer 2026, and 29 countries are excluded.

78 In 4th place, Top One Futures has been operating since 2025 and scores 78/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $39 for a 1-phase evaluation. Funded traders keep 90 % of profits. Notable freedoms: no time limit, news trading allowed. Available on tradingview, tradovate, ninjatrader.
Launched in Wyoming in April 2025, Top One Futures built its name on fast payouts and a 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating. Its four programs span monthly subscription, $39 access and instant funding. Two reservations: displayed prices include a permanent promotion, and a rules revision was applied to already-open accounts.

76 Coming in at number 5, FundedNext Futures has been operating since 2022 and scores 76/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $69.99 for a 1-phase evaluation. The risk envelope is a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %, with 2 % allowed per day. Funded traders keep 95 % of profits. Notable freedoms: no time limit. Available on tradovate, ninjatrader, tradingview.
FundedNext's futures arm went live in April 2025 and runs entirely on one-step evaluations across Tradovate, NinjaTrader and TradingView. Five programs share the same trailing end-of-day drawdown, with no activation fee and pricing from 69.99 USD for a 50K Flex account. The trade-off: every position is closed out before 3:10 pm Chicago time.

75 Ranked 6 on this list, ThinkCapital has been operating since 2024 and scores 75/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $39 on an instantly funded account. Funded traders keep 90 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 14 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit, no consistency rule, expert advisors allowed. Available on tradingview, mt5.
Launched in 2024, ThinkCapital is the prop trading brand of broker ThinkMarkets, whose liquidity and technology it uses. That backing gives it five well-differentiated programs and a maximum allocation of one million dollars. Two reservations weigh on it: news trading is only available through a paid add-on, and Trustpilot removed its rating over fake reviews.
7 
73 Coming in at number 7, Blue Guardian has been operating since 2021 and scores 73/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $72 on an instantly funded account. The risk envelope is a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 6 %, with 3 % allowed per day. Funded traders keep 90 % of profits. Notable freedoms: no time limit, expert advisors allowed. Available on mt5, tradelocker, match-trader, tradingview, ninjatrader, tradovate.
Blue Guardian has operated from Dubai since 2021 and covers both CFDs and futures across six platforms, with refundable challenge fees and an 85% split. The catch sits in risk enforcement: Guardian Shield closes every position at 2% floating loss and cuts the split to 50% on a first breach, and the Trustpilot rating is currently suspended.
8 
59 Ranked 8 on this list, Audacity Capital has been operating since 2012 and scores 59/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $49 on an instantly funded account. The risk envelope is a static drawdown capped at 10 %, with 5 % allowed per day. Funded traders keep 90 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 14 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit, no consistency rule, expert advisors allowed, news trading allowed. Available on mt5, dxtrade.
Audacity Capital has run funded programs from London since 2012, which makes it one of the oldest forex prop firms still trading, yet its legal entity is registered in the Comoros with no UK or European regulation. Conditions stay permissive — 15% static drawdown, no time limit, payouts every 14 days — while the Trustpilot rating has been suspended since 2026 over fake reviews and disputed payout refusals.
9 
59 Coming in at number 9, FundedElite has been operating since 2023 and scores 59/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $19 for a 2-phase evaluation. The risk envelope is a static drawdown capped at 8 %, with 4 % allowed per day. Funded traders keep 95 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 14 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit, no consistency rule, expert advisors allowed, news trading allowed. Available on mt5, tradelocker, match-trader, ctrader.
FundedElite is an Italian prop firm founded in late 2023, running static drawdown across all six of its challenge formats with no time limit attached. The sticking point sits elsewhere: Trustpilot withheld its score in August 2026 after finding a guidelines breach and removing fake reviews among the 735 published. No payout incident is documented on its side.
10 
59 In 10th place, Instant Funding has been operating since 2021 and scores 59/100 on our scale. The risk envelope is a static drawdown capped at 10 %. Funded traders keep 90 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 14 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit, expert advisors allowed. Available on mt5, ctrader, match-trader.
Instant Funding carries a warning flag here: Trustpilot removed its score over fake reviews (4,378 reviews displayed, 27 % one-star), and several refused payouts and disputed account closures are documented. The UK firm remains fully operational — it acquired Funded Trading Plus in May 2026 — and its flagship instant model runs with no profit target and no daily loss limit.
