This page covers the whole futures prop landscape: retail funded-account programs you buy into and employer / firm-capital desks that back traders with firm capital. Each firm below is labeled with which it is.

30 firms sell retail funded-account programs · 86 firms are employer / firm-capital desks that hire traders. The Opportunity column below labels each firm.

Futures prop trading is the largest segment of the retail prop firm industry. Firms fund traders on exchange-listed futures — equity indices (ES, NQ), energy (CL, NG), metals (GC), grains, currencies, and rates — under evaluation or instant-funding models.

Futures firms typically use simulated (SIM) evaluation accounts and only transition profitable traders to live capital. Rules, drawdown types, and consistency requirements vary widely — that variance is the biggest driver of whether the same strategy passes at one firm and busts at another.

The firms below fund futures traders. Use the filters on the main directory to narrow further by drawdown type, instant vs. evaluation, or platform (NinjaTrader, Rithmic, CQG, Tradovate).
