Interactive Tool
Compare 22 Futures Prop Firms
Compare evaluation accounts only - filter by size, drawdown type, and firm. Each card shows eval pricing plus the activation fee after you pass. Data is verified from official firm sources.
Sort the table or card view by evaluation price, profit target, or max contracts. When you are ready to trade the eval in NinjaTrader 8, pair your pick with prop-firm risk workflows and Nexus Chart Trader for execution and daily loss guardrails.
What this comparison covers
Each row is a futures evaluation program we track for firms such as Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, and My Funded Futures. You will see list price, published promo codes when available, profit target, max contracts, and whether drawdown is end-of-day, trailing, or static. Activation fees after you pass are listed separately because they change the true cost to trade a funded account.
Prop rules change frequently; confirm drawdown, consistency, and payout terms on the firm's website before you purchase. Nexus Indicator does not operate these programs; this tool is an independent research aid for NinjaTrader 8 traders choosing where to place their next eval.
