How to choose a forex prop firm

All 12 firms above are tier-S/A forex and CFD programs, yet entry cost still spreads from $19 to $69 for the smallest account (median $29) — the cheap end sells $5k-$10k evaluations while the expensive end starts far larger. Decide your account size first, then compare prices within that size; a cheap $5k challenge is not a discount on a $100k one.

Maximum drawdown across this list runs 6% to 15%, and 6 of 12 firms layer a daily loss limit on top. The daily limit, not the max drawdown, is what ends most evaluations: it is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, so one over-sized losing position plus news slippage can breach it while your overall drawdown is still healthy. Your worst realistic losing day needs to fit inside the daily number with room to spare.

Rule variation is wider than the headline numbers suggest: 3 of 12 allow news trading outright, 11 of 12 permit weekend holding on funded accounts, and 8 run no best-day consistency cap. Filter in that order — news rule, weekend rule, consistency — before you look at the profit split, because a split you never collect is worth exactly zero. The discount codes in the table typically cut 15-50% off, which usually outweighs a 5-point difference in split.
