Futures Prop Firms
Funded futures accounts let traders take positions on CME, NYMEX, and CBOT contracts using firm capital. The list below includes every active futures-focused firm tracked on TradingPilot.
How to Choose a Futures Prop Firm
Three decision factors for narrowing the list above to the firm that fits your trading style and risk profile.
Contract Types and Data Feeds
Most futures firms support both micro and full-size contracts (ES vs MES, NQ vs MNQ, CL vs MCL), but a few restrict you to micros during evaluation. Data feed quality matters too — Rithmic and CQG are lower-latency than the free feeds — and some firms charge market-data fees on the funded account. Check each firm's profile for the specific platforms and feeds they support.
Evaluation Cost vs. Account Size
Cheaper evaluations let you attempt funding more times, but the largest accounts ( $3.0M 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.
