Futures prop firms, no affiliate links
Every major futures prop firm, read line by line from its own rules: what each program costs, how the loss floor moves, when you get paid, and whether you can run a copier or a bot. No firm pays us to be here.
Start with your deal-breaker
The firms
You're happy trading on TopstepX and want an end-of-day floor that locks at the starting balance, no mandatory daily loss limit, and a real-capital Live Funded stage.
You trade by hand, want to run many funded accounts (up to 20 per household) with a copier between them, and like keeping 100% of approved payouts.
You want one-time pricing with no activation fee, NinjaTrader or Tradovate support, daily 90/10 payouts on Rapid, and permission to automate your own strategy.
You want an evaluation you can pass in a day, an end-of-day drawdown on every account, news trading, a 90/10 split, and owner-built bots allowed.
You trade by hand, want withdrawals from the first day of the funded stage, and would rather pay a one-time activation fee than a monthly funded fee.
You want one-time pricing with no activation fee, an optional daily limit that only pauses you, and explicit permission to run automation and copiers.
Rule changes
A drawdown tweak or a new payout buffer can change which firm is right for you, sometimes on accounts you already bought. Every change here links to the firm's own announcement where one exists.

From the team behind this site
Prop Firm Breakdown is published by the team behind CrossTrade, the automation platform for NinjaTrader 8 and Tradovate. Whether a firm allows copiers and automation is the first thing to check, so every firm page lists it. CrossTrade handles the running of it, where your firm allows it.
CrossTrade Trade Copier
The CrossTrade Trade Copier mirrors a leader account's trades to your follower accounts, with its own size ratio and instrument rules per follower. It runs inside NinjaTrader 8, or in the cloud for Tradovate accounts (so your computer can be off). Each copier works within its own platform.
CrossTrade Account Manager
The CrossTrade Account Manager puts a monitor on each account. When a limit you set is hit, it can flatten the account, cancel orders, and stop it for the session. The usual setup is a daily loss stop and a drawdown guard with a buffer inside the firm's real limits, so your rule fires before theirs does.
CrossTrade
CrossTrade takes a TradingView alert and places the order on your NinjaTrader 8 or Tradovate account through a personal webhook. One alert can go to several accounts, and every alert passes through guardrails you set first: trading windows, a max position count, and a kill switch.
