How We Rank Futures Prop Firms
Every firm gets an FF Score out of 100. Firms cannot pay to change their score.
What we score
- Cost to first payout (25%) — evaluation price, billing model, activation fees and resets, not just the headline price.
- Rule fairness (25%) — drawdown type at each stage, daily loss limits, consistency rules and how rules change after passing.
- Payout terms (20%) — profit split, eligibility, buffers, caps and processing speed.
- Track record and transparency (20%) — years operating, clarity of published rules, public trader sentiment.
- Platforms and flexibility (10%) — supported platforms, account limits, news and automation policies.
Where the data comes from
We use each firm's public pricing pages and help-center rules, cross-checked against independent reviews. Every firm page shows the date its data was last checked.
How often we update
Prop firm rules change often. We re-check firms regularly and when a firm announces changes. If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will review it.
Sponsored placements
Paid placements are always labeled “Sponsored” and never change a firm's FF Score or rank.
