ETF Prop Firms
ETF prop firms fund traders to take positions on exchange-traded funds — SPY, QQQ, sector ETFs, and leveraged products. The category overlaps significantly with stock prop firms.
How to Choose a ETF Prop Firm
Three decision factors for narrowing the list above to the firm that fits your trading style and risk profile.
Leveraged ETFs and Sector Coverage
Leveraged ETFs (TQQQ, SQQQ, UVXY) are restricted at many prop firms due to the higher decay and overnight gap risk. If you trade leveraged products specifically, check the firm's banned-symbol list before paying. Sector ETFs and country-specific products are usually permitted on standard accounts.
Evaluation Cost vs. Account Size
Cheaper evaluations let you attempt funding more times, but the largest accounts ( — at the top firm in this list) come with higher fees and stricter rules. Compare the cost-to-capital ratio on each firm's profile.
Profit Split & Payout Speed
Profit splits across this list typically range from 70/30 to 90/10 in the trader's favour. Payout speed and frequency vary — some firms pay weekly, others monthly. Both are listed on each firm's profile.
