How to Compare $100K Prop Firm Accounts
Prop firms sell the same account size under dozens of program names — eval vs funded, trailing vs EOD, with different payout buffers and consistency caps. The tables above are the source of truth; this section helps you interpret them and narrow your shortlist without reading twenty separate websites.
Quick Picks at $100K (data-driven)
Shortlist from verified firm data as of June 9, 2026 — not paid rankings. Click any firm for official pricing.
$23.65 estimated promo price · $3,000 (Trailing) · target $6,000
End-of-day drawdown at $81.25 — the floor only updates after the session closes, not on every new equity high.
No best-day cap during the challenge at $23.65. Useful if you take occasional large winning days.
Buy funded directly at $57.20 — skip the evaluation phase entirely.
$0 eval-to-funded activation on Funded. Payout buffer: $3,600.
Only $2,500 must stay above account start before you can withdraw.
Drawdown Types Explained
The Max drawdown column is your account's loss allowance — not a daily loss limit unless the firm's notes say otherwise. Three mechanics appear in our dataset:
Trailing drawdown
The loss floor rises with new equity highs and never drops. Your real buffer shrinks after green days — plan position size from peak equity, not starting balance.
EOD drawdown
The floor updates at end of session only. Intraday givebacks do not tighten the floor until the close — often easier for swing-style intraday traders.
Static drawdown
A fixed floor set at account creation. Profits above it become real cushion. Common on combine-style evaluations such as TopStep.
Read our deep dive on trailing vs static drawdown and consistency rules in 2026 for mechanics that apply across every firm in the tables above.
Payout Rules: Buffer, Minimum & Maximum
Funded columns in the tables above map directly to withdrawal mechanics. These three fields determine when you can take money out and how much per request:
Buffer requirement
Dollars that must remain above your account start before any withdrawal. A $2,100 buffer on a $50K account means you need $52,100 equity to request a payout.
Min payout
Smallest single withdrawal the firm allows. None means no published minimum in our dataset.
Max payout
Per-request cap. Uncapped means no limit listed — you can withdraw everything above the buffer, subject to firm rules.
