Frequently asked questions

How are futures prop firms different from forex firms?

Futures firms fund you on exchange-traded CME contracts (often via NinjaTrader/Tradovate/Rithmic) instead of CFDs. Drawdown is usually a trailing dollar threshold, daily loss limits are common, and most run a monthly subscription or one-time evaluation fee.

Which futures prop firm is cheapest?

Entry prices vary by promo. Many futures firms run near-permanent 50-90% off sales, so the cheapest option depends on which code is live. Check the code column above and the firm page before buying.
