Question 1

What does it mean for a prop firm to support Match Trader?

Accepted Answer

It means the firm runs its evaluation and funded accounts on Match Trader — you'll download the platform, log in with the credentials the firm provides, and trade exactly as you would on any Match Trader account. The rule set (profit target, drawdown, consistency) sits behind your trades but the order entry, charting, and execution all happen inside Match Trader. The 16 firms on this page all use Match Trader as a primary evaluation platform.

Question 2

Do my evaluation rules change depending on the platform?

Accepted Answer

The headline rules don't change with the platform — the firm sets those. What does change is the toolset: order types, charting depth, automation support, and data quality. Match Trader has its own quirks here, and traders often pick a firm specifically to keep using the platform their existing scripts and indicators were built for.

Question 3

Do Match Trader prop firms charge platform or data fees?

Accepted Answer

Most firms cover the platform license during the evaluation. Data fees on the funded account are where the variation shows up — futures feeds (Rithmic, CQG) routed through Match Trader can run $10–$110/month and are usually passed through to the trader. Each firm's profile on TradingPilot lists the current fee structure.

Question 4

Can I use Match Trader on both the evaluation and the funded account?

Accepted Answer

In nearly all cases, yes — firms keep the platform consistent so your scripts, indicators, and chart setups carry through. A small number of firms transition to a different platform once you're funded; that's flagged on the firm profile so you can avoid the surprise.
