Futures prop firm rules, side by side
Evaluation rules for six futures prop firms, read from each firm’s own site — with a calculator to estimate your odds of passing.
Rules checked 2026-10-06 — firms change rules often; confirm on each firm’s site before you buy. This is a neutral reference, not a ranking or recommendation, and LoggingTrades is not affiliated with these firms.

Smallest account listed is the first size we verified; every firm page shows all verified sizes, the consistency rule and a link to the firm’s official rules. A blank or “Not listed” means we could not verify it.
Estimate your odds before you pay for an evaluation
Enter the rules and your own win rate, reward-to-risk and risk per trade. The simulator runs 5,000 attempts and shows how often you pass, how often the drawdown ends it first, and how long it takes.
Trailing drawdowns are modelled the common way: the floor follows your highest balance (end-of-day close, or every trade for intraday) and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance. Rules differ by firm — enter yours. Simulations assume independent trades.
