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.

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.

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.

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.
In 5th place, 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.
In 6th place, Topstep has been operating since 2012 and scores 77/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $49 for a 1-phase evaluation. 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 5 days. Notable freedoms: no time limit. Available on ninjatrader, tradovate, rithmic.
Founded in Chicago in 2012, Topstep is the oldest futures prop firm. It charges a monthly subscription rather than a one-off ticket, with a 6 % target and a trailing drawdown that locks once the starting balance is cleared. Its 90 % profit split and first withdrawal after five winning days are among the best in the segment.
In 7th place, 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.
Coming in at number 8, Take Profit Trader has been operating since 2021 and scores 76/100 on our scale. Entry starts at $150 for a 1-phase evaluation.

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.
In 9th place, 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.

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.
Coming in at number 10, Apex Trader Funding has been operating since 2021 and scores 72/100 on our scale. The risk envelope is a trailing intraday drawdown capped at 5 %. Funded traders keep 100 % of profits, with a first withdrawal available after 5 days. Notable freedoms: no consistency rule. Available on rithmic, tradovate.

First payout comes after five qualifying trading days.
