Two different opportunity types on this page
Options is where the two halves of the proprietary trading industry are furthest apart. Some firms here sell a retail funded-account program; others are professional options and market-making desks that hire traders. Each firm below is labeled so you know which one you're looking at.
12 firms sell retail funded-account programs · 77 firms are employer / firm-capital desks that hire traders. The Opportunity column below labels each firm.
Options is the least-covered asset class in the retail prop firm industry. Most evaluation firms are built around futures and equities; a much smaller set support listed options at all, and fewer still are designed for options-first strategies (defined-risk spreads, income strategies, volatility trading).
It is, however, the deepest asset class on the professional side. Much of serious options trading happens at proprietary desks and market makers that hire traders rather than sell them accounts — so this page includes both, clearly labeled.
If you're an options trader, the firm's rulebook matters even more than usual — margin treatment, assignment rules, overnight holding, and event exposure all diverge sharply between firms. Confirm the specific products and restrictions before applying.
How a firm qualifies
A firm qualifies when it supports listed options. Both retail funded-account programs and employer / firm-capital desks are included by design, and each firm is labeled with which it is.
