Trading a prop firm account from TradingView means sending orders straight from the chart, with no separate terminal. Two setups exist and they are not equivalent. A native integration puts the firm or its broker in TradingView’s broker panel and routes orders directly to the execution server. A bridge uses TradingView only as a front end on top of another platform, adding a technical link that can drift out of sync during partial fills.
The firms gathered here offer one or the other, ranked by the nature of that integration, payout reliability, rule clarity and connection stability. Two caveats: your own TradingView subscription tier governs how many charts and indicators you get, and webhook automation is frequently restricted or banned outright by firm rules.
Coming in at number 1, FTMO has been operating since 2015 and scores 88/100 on our scale. Entry starts at €79 for a 1-phase evaluation. The risk envelope is a static drawdown capped at 10 %, with 3 % allowed per day. Funded traders keep 90 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 14 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit, expert advisors allowed, news trading allowed. Available on mt4, mt5, ctrader, dxtrade, tradingview.
Founded in Prague in 2015, FTMO reports more than $450 million paid to traders and closed its acquisition of broker OANDA in December 2025. The 2-Step challenge, static drawdown and no deadline, remains its core product, with fees fully refunded on the first payout. Price is the weak spot, and it rose again in 2026.
Ranked 2 on this list, 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.
Coming in at number 3, My Funded Futures has been operating since 2023 and scores 80/100 on our scale. The risk envelope is a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %. Funded traders keep 90 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 1 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit, news trading allowed. Available on ninjatrader, tradovate, tradingview, quantower, volumetrica.
Launched in late 2023 in Delaware, My Funded Futures posts the highest customer satisfaction in our futures database, at 4.9/5 across more than 21,000 reviews. Its four plans share a 6 % target and an end-of-day trailing drawdown that locks above the starting balance. The notable trade-off: over 80 countries are excluded.
Ranked 4 on this list, TradeDay has been operating since 2020 and scores 80/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $131 for a 1-phase evaluation. Funded traders keep 90 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 0 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit, news trading allowed. Available on tradovate, rithmic, ninjatrader, tradingview.
TradeDay was founded in Chicago in 2020 by two former institutional market professionals, and that background shows in the rulebook: no daily loss limit, news trading and scalping allowed, and withdrawals available from day one. The May 2026 rework dropped static drawdown accounts in favour of two paths, Quick Pay and Fast Pass.
Ranked 5 on this list, Earn2Trade has been operating since 2016 and scores 79/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $150 for a 1-phase evaluation. Funded traders keep 80 % of profits. Notable freedoms: no time limit, news trading allowed. Available on ninjatrader, tradovate, tradingview, rithmic.
Earn2Trade does not fund traders itself: it is a US evaluation and education platform founded in 2016, with capital supplied by partner firms Helios, Appius and Kronos. Its TCP and Gauntlet Mini programs bill monthly, $150 to $550, cover CME futures only, cap the split at 80% and run a trailing EOD drawdown.
Ranked 6 on this list, 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.
Ranked 7 on this list, Elite Trader Funding has been operating since 2022 and scores 77/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $99 for a 1-phase evaluation. Funded traders keep 100 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 8 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit. Available on ninjatrader, tradingview, rithmic, tradovate.
At Elite Trader Funding the funded account stays simulated: the headline split is 100%, but payouts are capped at $25,000 per trader, after which moving to the LIVE ELITE program on an 80/20 split becomes mandatory. Six futures evaluation models, $47 resets, but activation fees of $177 to $307 and $87 a month once funded.
Coming in at number 8, 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.
Ranked 9 on this list, Take Profit Trader has been operating since 2021 and scores 76/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $150 for a 1-phase evaluation. Funded traders keep 90 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 0 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit, news trading allowed. Available on ninjatrader, tradingview, tradovate, rithmic, quantower.
Founded in Florida in late 2021, Take Profit Trader runs a three-tier path — Test, then PRO, then PRO+ on the live market — with withdrawals available from day one on a funded account. It excludes no countries, which is rare. The point to watch is the drawdown type changing between tiers, which catches many traders out.
Ranked 10 on this list, Fintokei has been operating since 2022 and scores 75/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $44 for a 3-phase evaluation. The risk envelope is a static drawdown capped at 6 %, with 3 % allowed per day. Funded traders keep 100 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 14 days. Available on tradingview, mt5, ctrader.
Fintokei is a Czech prop firm launched in 2022 and backed by Purple Holding, the group behind broker Purple Trading, which supplies execution. All four of its evaluation tracks run on static drawdown measured from the starting balance, never trailing. The trade-off is a narrow instrument list: forex and CFDs on metals, energy and indices, with no crypto and no stocks.
Native integration versus connector: the distinction that matters
Two very different arrangements hide behind the same promise. With a native integration, the firm or its broker appears in TradingView’s broker panel: you log in with your credentials and the order travels straight to the execution server. With a connector, TradingView is a front end laid over another platform, often DXtrade or something equivalent; the underlying account remains the record of truth, and it is the one that governs when numbers disagree.
The test is easy. If you need a third-party panel, bridge or extension to attach your account, you are on a connector. That is not disqualifying, but it inserts a link that can fall out of sync during partial fills, stop modifications or reconnections after a dropout.
Hidden costs and quiet limitations
Access depends on your own TradingView subscription. The free tier caps indicators per chart, layouts and alerts, so serious use implies a paid plan, a recurring cost stacked on top of the challenge fee. Some firms additionally bill TradingView access as an optional extra.
Automation is the next issue. A Pine Script strategy does not place orders by itself; it needs alerts routed to a third-party service, an arrangement many rulebooks restrict or forbid. Treat automation as unavailable until you find it permitted in writing.
Then there is data mismatch. The chart may be fed by a source other than the firm’s execution feed, so the candle you see and the price you get are not always the same thing, which looks like slippage without being it. Finally, risk rules live on the firm’s server rather than in TradingView: the firm’s dashboard remains the reference screen for drawdown and daily loss.
Discretionary chartists and multi-market workflows
The category is built for people who already spend their day inside TradingView: multi-timeframe chartists, discretionary traders who annotate heavily, compare markets outside forex and click their entries straight from the chart. The gain is a single workspace with no shuttling between analysis and terminal. The trade-off is automation, largely absent, and the lack of a genuine order book. Traders whose systems depend on expert advisors or on reading order flow will not find what they need here.
Frequently asked questions
Can you really trade a prop firm account from TradingView?
Yes, provided the firm is integrated as a broker inside TradingView or supplies an official connector. Orders then travel from the chart to the firm's server, with stops and targets managed in the same window. A standard TradingView paper trading account is not enough; you need a live link to the evaluation or funded account.
Do I need a paid TradingView plan?
Not strictly for placing orders, but in practice almost always. The free tier limits indicators per chart, alerts and multi-chart layouts, all of which constrain an active trader. Budget that monthly cost alongside the challenge fee and any reset fees when you compare offers between firms, because it is genuinely recurring.
Can I automate with webhook alerts?
Technically an alert can trigger an order through an intermediary service. Contractually it is often prohibited or subject to approval, because the firm controls neither the latency nor the behaviour of the connector. Some firms tolerate execution assistance while banning fully automated trading. Find the explicit clause before investing time in the setup.
What is the difference between a native integration and a third-party bridge?
A native integration links TradingView directly to the firm's execution server: one link, one account state. A bridge adds a layer between TradingView and an underlying platform, with a risk of desynchronisation during partial fills or outages. Whenever the two disagree, the firm's reference platform is what governs your result.
Does TradingView show my drawdown?
Not reliably. TradingView displays positions and open profit, but daily loss and maximum drawdown are computed by the firm using its own method and its own reset hour. Keep the firm's dashboard open alongside your charts, since that is the system which triggers automatic liquidation on a breach.
