Best futures prop firms

Futures firms work differently from forex firms: trailing drawdowns, per-contract limits and platform fees all change the maths. They are ranked here only against each other, because comparing a futures evaluation with a forex challenge tells you nothing.

Common questions

What is the best futures prop firm?

It depends on your drawdown tolerance. Firms with a static drawdown suit traders who hold through pullbacks; a trailing drawdown that follows your peak punishes exactly that. Check the drawdown type before the price.

Do futures prop firms use MetaTrader?

Rarely. Most run Rithmic, Tradovate, NinjaTrader or Quantower, and some charge a monthly platform or data fee on top of the evaluation.
