Firm comparison

Prop firms, compared on member-logged data.

Pass rates, time-to-pass, and payout reliability aggregated anonymously from accounts and payouts our members logged. Firms are listed alphabetically; sort any measured column to compare it.

How the numbers workEach statistic has its own evidence gate and appears only after at least 5 distinct members contribute qualifying rows to that metric. Blank cells mean the gate was not met. Logs are member-reported unless a surface explicitly says they were independently verified.

Firm
Alpha Futures Best part Advanced Qualified accounts have no daily loss guard, consistency rule, news restriction, or scaling plan. Main drawback Advanced evaluations require 40% consistency. Zero Qualified also adds 40%, while Direct Qualified uses 20%. View profile →	Gathering data
FundedNext Best part Rapid Daily has no consistency rule in either phase and allows eligible performance-reward requests every day. Main drawback Its funded account requires a non-withdrawable buffer and closes after the fifth performance reward. View profile →	Gathering data
Lucid Trading Best part LucidDaily funded accounts allow eligible payout requests every day, with no funded-stage consistency rule. Main drawback Every LucidDaily funded account uses intraday trailing drawdown, even when the evaluation used end-of-day drawdown. View profile →	—	—	—	—	—	—	5	—
MyFundedFutures Best part Rapid sim-funded accounts allow payout requests every 24 hours after meeting the buffer, with no consistency rule. Main drawback Its drawdown trails intraday unrealized gains until the loss floor reaches $100; touching it ends the account. View profile →	Gathering data
Take Profit Trader Best part PRO allows withdrawals from day one, with no minimum profitable days or cap on profits above the buffer. Main drawback PRO drawdown trails realized and unrealized gains intraday; touching the minimum balance liquidates the account. View profile →	Gathering data
Tradeify Best part Lightning skips the evaluation and starts in simulated funding, with no minimum trading days before a qualifying payout. Main drawback New Lightning accounts use 20% to 30% payout consistency, and a breached account cannot be reset. View profile →	Gathering data

Medians shown where applicable. Traders counts distinct members with logged accounts; each metric may use a smaller qualifying cohort and is gated independently.
