How we score, in 30 seconds

The full method
Best AccountsThe average of the Challenge and Funded scores — the whole account, from first purchase to payouts.
Challenge scoreHalf what getting funded costs on average (price × the tries you'd need, plus any activation fee), half how easy the evaluation is.
Funded score40% payout rules (profit needed between payouts, split, timing), 60% trading conditions (drawdown, daily loss limit, consistency).

Every rule is checked on the firm's own website, every account is scored with the same formula, and no firm can pay to rank higher.

FAQ

Which futures prop firm account is the best?

On our data it's Lucid Flex 25k, with an Overall score of 81/100, followed by Bulenox Qualification 50k and Blue Guardian Reserve 50k. The Overall score is the average of the Challenge score (what getting funded costs on average and how easy the evaluation is) and the Funded score (payout rules and trading conditions). The best account for you also depends on your country, platform and budget: the quiz takes them into account.

What's the cheapest way to get funded with a futures prop firm?

Blue Guardian Reserve 25k: $48.00 in total to get funded at the first try, activation fee included. On average most traders need more than one try, so every card also shows the average cost to get funded.

Which prop firm lets you get paid the fastest?

Phidias Express to Live 25k: the rules allow a first payout request 2 days after purchase, if you pass at the first try on the fewest days allowed. That's a best case; the firm's processing time comes on top.

How does PropLens score prop firm accounts?

Every one of the 261 accounts from 25 futures prop firms is scored with the same published formula, from rules checked on each firm's own website. The full method is on our About page.

Can a prop firm pay to rank higher?

No. Some links on PropLens are affiliate links, but they never change a score or a position: rankings come only from the published formula.
