Frequently asked questions

How cheap can a funded futures account get?

With stacked promos, sub-$50 evaluations are common - several firms in the table run 50-90% off codes continuously. The code column shows the current best code per firm; prices in the table are list prices before discount.

Is a cheaper futures prop firm worse?

Not necessarily - most futures firms price by account size and drawdown style, not quality. Check the payout policy and consistency rules first: a $39 eval with a fair trailing-drawdown and no hidden payout gates beats a pricier firm with a 50% consistency rule.
