FTMO
β 5The most trusted prop firm globally. 11 years of documented payout history, 6 evaluation sizes, and support for 40+ instruments across forex, commodities, indices, and crypto.
FundedNext
β 5Best profit split in the industry at 90% from day one. Stellar evaluation model with low minimum days, fast payouts, and a large community of funded traders.
E8 Markets
β 4.8Best for swing traders β no minimum trading days, no consistency rule, and full news trading and weekend holding. Trailing drawdown requires attention.
The5ers
β 4.7Fifty percent feels low next to FundedNext's 90 β until you realize The5ers actually gets you to 100% over time, not just on a slide deck.
Funding Pips
β 4.6Funding Pips built a following among traders who got tired of FTMO's stricter rule book β and the weekend-and-news flexibility shows why.
Funded Trading Plus
β 4.5Funded Trading Plus is the only major forex prop firm where the profit split genuinely reaches 100% β hit 30% cumulative profit and every dollar after that is yours, backed by a real four-and-a-half-year track record and $19.5M+ in verified payouts.
DNA Funded
β 4.3DNA Funded backs its prices with a regulated broker behind it β rare in this space, and worth something on its own.
Blue Guardian
β 4.3Miss your own payout guarantee, and your trader's split jumps to 100%. That's a strange incentive to build into your own pricing β and it's clever.
Alpha Capital Group
β 4.2Alpha Capital Group doesn't lead the pack on any single number, but a consistent 4.4-star rating across multiple sites says something too.
Maven Trading
β 4.1Maven Trading gets you into a funded account for under $15. What that entry price doesn't advertise is a hard $10,000 monthly payout cap and a trust score that lags well behind its marketing.
Instant Funding
β 4.1UK-based and partnered with regulated broker ThinkMarkets, Instant Funding has a real four-year track record ($18.7M+ paid since 2023) and skips the evaluation entirely β you trade funded from day one.
Aqua Funded
β 4.1Aqua Funded sits in the same $4 million scaling tier as Blue Guardian and The5ers, just without a standout feature of its own yet.
BrightFunded
β 4.0BrightFunded pairs a fixed (not trailing) drawdown with a token-loyalty program that pays you for trading volume regardless of outcome β genuinely unusual, though a Trustpilot guideline-breach flag from 2026 is worth knowing about.
Finotive Funding
β 3.9Finotive Funding is a fair, middle-of-the-road choice β nothing wrong with it, nothing that makes it your first pick either.
Goat Funded Trader
β 3.9A dollar gets you in the door at Goat Funded Trader. Just know that the payout track record behind it is a fraction of what the bigger names can show.
Top One Trader
β 3.9Top One Trader offers a genuinely low entry price and splits up to 90%, but independent aggregator Traders Union scores it just 3.05 out of 10 and explicitly recommends traders look elsewhere β a significant, hard-to-ignore red flag.
WSFunded
β 3.6WSFunded (Wall Street Funded) offers a competitive 80% base split and a 4.4 Trustpilot rating from over 4,000 reviews, but at least one detailed, documented complaint describes a payout rejected over a vague 'trading rules violation' with no specific evidence given.
The Trading Pit
β 3.3Backed by Pinorena Capital (parent of Tickmill and Darwinex) with $15M+ paid and real scale across 180+ countries, The Trading Pit is genuinely established β but independent reviewers consistently describe profitable traders getting flagged for vague reasons right at payout time.
Why cTrader traders end up with a short list
Most prop firms standardised on MT4/MT5 years ago, and many newer firms use proprietary or Match-Trader platforms. cTrader’s depth-of-market and clean execution detail are favoured by scalpers, but you will find it at a minority of firms β and sometimes on specific account types only. Confirm the platform is available on the account size you want, not just listed on the homepage.

What should I check before buying a challenge?
The drawdown model, the daily loss cap, weekend and news rules, and whether the fee is refunded on first payout. The individual review and the 'How to pass' guide for each firm cover all of it.
