Options Prop Firms
Options prop firms fund traders who run premium-selling, vertical spread, and directional options strategies. The category is smaller than futures or forex — only firms that explicitly support options trading appear below.
How to Choose a Options Prop Firm
Three decision factors for narrowing the list above to the firm that fits your trading style and risk profile.
Strategy Restrictions
Options firms vary widely in what strategies they allow. Some only permit defined-risk spreads (verticals, condors), while others let you sell naked premium with sufficient buying power. Check the rule sheet for each firm before paying — assignment risk and overnight gap exposure are common areas where firms differ.
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.
