Best Prop Firms in the USA
Best Prop Firms in the USA (2026)
US prop firm access is unusually fragmented because many CFD firms restrict US residents, so this page focuses on firms that can actually serve US traders. JoinProp orders this page by live category membership and editorial quality signals, then checks each firm against the rules that matter most for this topic.
Quick answer: start with E8 Markets, Topstep, TradeDay, Apex Trader Funding. They sit at the top of this category because they combine stronger overall review signals with a clearer fit for US eligibility, futures access, platform fit, payout rules and whether the advertised product is genuinely available to US residents.

More details +Topstep
Topstep is a Chicago-based futures prop firm running a single evaluation product, the Trading Combine, in three sizes ($50K/$100K/$150K). The split is a flat 90/10 with no upgrade to buy — but the headline "100% of your first $10,000" perk CLOSED to new accounts on 12 January 2026 and is now grandfathered only. The rule that decides most accounts is the Maximum Loss Limit: it trails on your END-OF-DAY balance, but it breaches INTRADAY on unrealised P&L, so you can be liquidated by an open drawdown you never actually realise — and after your first payout it is forced to $0, leaving your balance as your entire buffer. Express Funded accounts are simulated; Topstep's own 2025 data shows 16.8% pass the Combine and just 0.71% reach a real Live account. Minimum payout $125, five winning days of $150+, no subscription once funded.PROS:
- Flat 90/10 profit split — no paid upgrade and no tier to chase
- No time limit on the Trading Combine, and only 2 minimum trading days
- The Daily Loss Limit is optional in the Combine — hitting it locks you out for the day, it does not fail you
- No monthly subscription once you are funded
- Low 125 USD minimum payout; Aeropay and Wise carry no Topstep fee
- Publishes its own pass rates — disclosure almost no competitor offers
- TopstepX, NinjaTrader and Tradovate all supported
CONS:
- The 100%-of-first-10,000 USD perk closed to new accounts on 12 January 2026 — grandfathered only
- The Maximum Loss Limit trails on end-of-day balance but breaches intraday on unrealised P&L
- After your first payout the MLL is forced to zero — your remaining balance is your entire loss buffer
- The 50% Consistency Target does not fail you, it silently raises your profit target
- Express Funded accounts are simulated; only 0.71% of funded traders reached a Live account in 2025
- CFD prop firm trading simulated capital; unregulated
- 80%, 90% or 100% split - a paid choice at checkout, not a performance tier
- E8 Zero: no daily drawdown at all and a 3% STATIC maximum. E8 Pro: 8% static, no consistency rule
- your first payout permanently raises the loss level to your initial balance
- E8’s own example shows a $104,000 account requesting $4,000 and breaching instantly
★★★★★
More details +E8 Markets
E8 Markets (E8 Funding LLC, Dallas + E8 Markets Ltd, Saint Lucia) runs three single-phase products: E8 Zero, E8 One and E8 Pro. Two things dominate. First, the profit split is a PAID CHOICE at checkout — in E8's own words, 'select 80%, 90%, or 100% at checkout. Higher splits cost more upfront,' and the choice is permanent. Second, and more dangerous: on E8 Zero and E8 Pro your first payout permanently raises the loss level to your initial balance. E8's own worked example shows a $104,000 account requesting a $4,000 payout, dropping to $100,000, and BREACHING immediately. Withdrawing your own profit can destroy the account that produced it. E8 Zero also deactivates permanently after 5 payouts, capping lifetime earnings between $15,000 and $35,000 depending on account size. There is no fee refund of any kind.PROS:
- E8 Zero: no daily drawdown at all, and a 3% STATIC max drawdown
- E8 Pro: 8% STATIC drawdown with no consistency rule
- Single-phase evaluations across the whole range — no second phase to grind
- Resets available at a 10% discount (within 7 days of failing)
- Publishes a pass rate (17.7%) — though the window is now over two years stale
- Unregulated and says so plainly; no false regulatory claim
- Choice of drawdown model and split at checkout
CONS:
- THE PAYOUT TRAP: on E8 Zero and E8 Pro, your first payout permanently raises the loss level to your initial balance — E8's own example shows a $104,000 account requesting $4,000 and BREACHING instantly at $100,000
- The 80/90/100% profit split is a PAID CHOICE at checkout — higher splits cost more upfront and are locked for the life of the account
- E8 Zero DEACTIVATES after 5 payouts — capped at $15k ($50K acct) to $35k ($500K acct) lifetime
- E8 Pro's '80% split' is really 40% of profits — only half your profit is ever made requestable
- E8 One's max drawdown TRAILS (4-14%) and breaches on intraday equity
- Futures-only prop firm across 6+ asset classes; simulated capital
- There is NO daily drawdown - the best thing about the product
- A $10,000 lifetime ceiling takes your profit, and prior withdrawals count toward it
- Rebuilt as "TradeDay 2.0" - the terms changed with the relaunch
- Unusually transparent about its own numbers
★★★★★
More details +TradeDay

★★★★★
More details +Apex Trader
Apex Trader Funding replaced its entire product line on 1 March 2026. Everything on sale now is a one-time fee with no rebill, a 100% profit split and no consistency rule in the evaluation. The old model - monthly subscription, 90/10 split, the 30% negative P&L rule and the 5:1 risk-reward rule - is now Legacy and cannot be bought.

- Only 6 payouts per funded account, then it closes and you must qualify again
- The safety net must now be maintained for the LIFE of the account, not just the first three payouts
- Contract limits are roughly halved when you move to the funded account
- Holding a position through the market close forfeits the account and all balances
- US futures prop firm (Wyoming) trading simulated capital; unregulated

- First payout needs 6% profit but the first request is capped at $2,500
★★★★★
More details +Top One Futures
Top One Futures (Top One Futures, LLC, Wyoming) is a simulated futures prop firm running six programmes — Elite Challenge, Elite Daily, Elite Access, Instant Sim Funded, Ignite and S2F Sim PRO. The split is a flat 90/10 with no upgrade to buy, though promotion to a Live account paradoxically DROPS you to 80/20. The rule that decides most accounts is Lock Upon Payout: the moment you withdraw, your trailing drawdown locks at your starting balance plus $100. Top One's own worked example leaves a $100,000 account with $1,900 of room after a $3,000 payout — and their own advice is not to withdraw the maximum. Consistency rules vary by programme (15% Ignite, 20% Instant, 25% Elite, 40% Elite Access). Note also that the Terms prohibit negative statements on review platforms under threat of profit forfeiture.PROS:
- Flat 90/10 split on all sim-funded accounts — no paid upgrade to buy
- Six programmes, so you can pick a drawdown model that suits your style
- Elite Access carries no daily loss limit during the challenge
- Only 1 minimum trading day to pass the Elite Challenge
- No recurring subscription once funded — activation is a one-off
- News trading is explicitly allowed
- Payouts run through Rise, in crypto or by bank transfer
CONS:
- Lock Upon Payout: withdrawing collapses your trailing drawdown to starting balance + 100 USD
- The first payout needs 6% profit (3,000 USD on a 50K) but the first request is capped at 2,500 USD
- Promotion to a Live account drops your split from 90/10 to 80/20
- The Terms prohibit negative statements on review platforms, on pain of profit forfeiture
- All bots, EAs and automated trading are banned, as is holding a trade under 10 seconds
- One of the very few stock/ETF-focused prop firms — the equities arm of the 5%ers group; simulated US equities
- Signature: a buying-power model for 12,000+ US stocks & ETFs (short-selling, penny stocks), no PDT rule
- A “Pump” scaling engine grows buying power & daily-loss allowance 10% per 10% profit milestone
- Flex (unlimited time) or Max (60-day, cheaper); day buying power $5K–$200K + swing tiers
- 70% profit split; payouts from 14 days ($300 min); US traders welcomed; no futures/crypto
★★★★★
More details +The Trade Pool
Trade The Pool is one of the very few prop firms built specifically for stock and ETF traders, the equities-focused arm of the 5%ers group (Five Percent Online Ltd). It offers simulated trading of more than 12,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs, including short-selling and penny stocks, with no Pattern Day Trader rule, on its own platform built on TraderEvolution. Its defining feature is a buying-power model paired with a Pump scaling engine that grows your buying power and daily-loss allowance by 10 percent at each 10 percent profit milestone. You pick a Flex track with unlimited time and fewer rules, or a cheaper Max track with a 60-day window and a stricter consistency rule, with day-trade buying power from 5,000 to 200,000 plus swing tiers. The profit split is 70 percent, payouts start 14 days after inception with a 300 dollar minimum, and US traders are welcomed. It is simulated and does not offer futures or crypto.PROS:

- Buying power for 12,000-plus US stocks and ETFs, including short-selling, no PDT rule
- Pump scaling grows buying power with performance

- Up-to-72-hour risk review before payout
- US futures prop firm (Lucid Trading Group LLC, Delaware) trading simulated futures on NinjaTrader, Tradovate and Rithmic
- 90/10 base split on every plan — not a paid upgrade, which is genuinely rare
- EOD trailing max loss that locks at your starting balance plus $100; the daily limit is a soft breach
- The LucidScale daily limit ratchets upward (highest EOD profit × 60%) and never shrinks
- No recurring or monthly fee; news, EAs and scalping allowed. Real capital only at the LucidLive stage
★★★★★
More details +Lucid Trading Review 2026
Lucid Trading (Lucid Trading Group LLC, Delaware) is one of the more genuinely trader-friendly futures firms around. A real 90% BASE split with no upgrade to buy, an end-of-day trailing drawdown that locks at your starting balance plus $100, a soft daily loss limit that ratchets upward (the LucidScale DLL = highest EOD profit x 60%) rather than punishing you, a clean one-time fee with no rebills, and permissive rules (news, EAs, copiers, scalping all allowed) add up to a risk model materially looser than the intraday-trailing norm. The caveats are modest: accounts are SIMULATED (the "real capital" language applies only after you reach LucidLive), the three plans (Pro/Flex/Direct) differ enough that picking the wrong one matters, and the marketing's "15-minute payout" is a "2 business days" commitment in the Terms.PROS:
- A genuine 90/10 base split on every funded plan - not a paid upgrade, which is rare
- End-of-day trailing max loss that locks at your starting balance plus $100
- The daily loss limit is a soft breach - a bad day pauses you, it does not fail the account
- The LucidScale daily limit ratchets upward (highest EOD profit x 60%) and never shrinks
- One-time fee with no recurring, monthly or auto-rebill charge, and no activation fee
- News, EAs, trade copiers, scalping and DCA all allowed
- Consistency rule fully waived at the Live stage; detailed per-plan documentation
CONS:
- Accounts are simulated; the "real capital" marketing applies only after reaching the LucidLive stage
- The homepage advertises a "15-minute average" payout, but the binding Terms say two business days
- Only LucidFlex has no daily loss limit; Pro and Direct do
- No overnight or weekend holding (positions auto-close before 4:45pm EST)
- Microscalping, hedging and HFT are prohibited
- Budget-focused, community-driven UAE prop firm (Maven Edu FZCO); simulated forex/CFD, crypto & prediction markets on cTrader/Match-Trader
- Signature: the “M2 Account Saver” circuit-breaker — a 2% floating-drawdown breach halves your split to 50%; a second breach kills the account
- Cheap & flexible: fees from ~$13, a genuine $5 Buy-Now-Pay-Later, instant/1-/2-/3-step, swap-free (zero swaps)
- 80% split (70% on prediction markets); payouts every 10 business days; scaling to $1M
- Watch: a $10,000-per-30-day withdrawal cap (excess voided); US accepted (MT unavailable to US/Canada)
★★★★★
More details +Maven
Maven Trading is a budget-focused, community-driven UAE prop firm, Maven Edu FZCO, operating since 2022. It offers simulated forex/CFD, crypto and even prediction-market trading on cTrader and Match-Trader. Its defining rule is the M2 Account Saver, an automated circuit-breaker on its OMO and Buy-Now-Pay-Later funded accounts: if floating drawdown hits 2 percent of balance, the first breach force-closes your trades and permanently cuts your split from 80 to 50 percent, and a second breach permanently deactivates the account. The other half of its identity is low cost and variety: fees from about 13 dollars, a genuine 5 dollar Buy-Now-Pay-Later, instant, 1-, 2- and 3-step models, and swap-free accounts. The split is 80 percent on core products, or 70 percent on prediction markets, payouts come every 10 business days, and scaling runs to 1 million. US traders are accepted, though MetaTrader is unavailable to US and Canada. Watch the 10,000 dollar per 30-day withdrawal cap.PROS:

- Wide variety: instant, 1-, 2- and 3-step, plus an unusual prediction-markets product
- Swap-free (zero swap fees) across all accounts
- 80 percent split on core products; scaling to 1 million
- US traders accepted; strong community and education angle
CONS:
- The M2 Account Saver can permanently halve your split to 50 percent after a 2 percent floating-drawdown breach
- A 10,000 dollar per 30-day withdrawal cap; excess is voided and the account reset
- Aggressive automated compliance and a Trustpilot notice about removed fake reviews
- UK-based (Acello Ltd) simulated forex/CFD & crypto-CFD prop firm on MT5/cTrader/Match-Trader; instant-funding-first
- Signature: “Smart Drawdown” — no profit target; at +5% the drawdown floor ratchets up to lock in a protected buffer

- Base 80% split (up to 90% via add-on); account-doubling scaling to $1.28M; not swap-free (swaps charged)

Its defining feature is a 1-hour payout guarantee with a Zero Payout Denial Policy, unusually backed by an independent Deloitte review that reported 98.35 percent of withdrawals processed within an hour with zero denials. It offers 1-Step Prime, 2-Step Prime and Pro, and a Direct instant account, with forex sizes 2,000 to 300,000, a base split of 80 percent up to 95 percent, the challenge fee refunded on passing, and scaling to 4 million.

★★★★★
More details +Blue Guardian
Blue Guardian is a Dubai-run, simulated prop firm that offers both a CFD side (forex, indices, commodities) and a futures side (CME contracts), across an unusually wide platform list including MT5, Match-Trader, TradeLocker, TradingView, NinjaTrader and Tradovate. Its defining feature is a 24-hour payout guarantee: approved withdrawals are paid within a day or the firm pays extra. Two caveats matter: the promise is worded two different ways on its own pages, and it covers how fast an approved payout is paid, not whether a payout is approved, since the terms make payouts discretionary. Account sizes reach 400,000, the split runs up to 90 percent, and while futures welcome US traders, the CFD side reportedly restricts US residents.PROS:
- Both CFD and CME futures under one roof
- Very wide platform choice (MT5, Match-Trader, TradeLocker, NinjaTrader, Tradovate and more)
- A 24-hour payout-speed guarantee with a self-imposed penalty
- Instant, 1-, 2- and 3-step options; split up to 90% (100% select plans)
- Live payouts feed with on-chain proofs

- The payout guarantee covers speed, not whether you get paid, and is worded two ways
- Recurring complaints of accounts closed after profit under shared-device or multiple-account rules

- Scaling that doubles the account at each 10% milestone, advertised to $4M (via the funding ladder; evaluations cap ~$200K)
- Offers swap-free Islamic accounts; base split 90% up to 100% at top VIP tier; accepts US traders
- Note: now an offshore/unregulated structure (Comoros/Costa Rica/Dubai), not a UK-regulated broker
