Futures Prop Firms

UProfit is a US-based futures prop firm trading since 2019, contactable in Dover, Delaware, covering CME, NYMEX, COMEX and CBOT products on TradingView and Tradoverse. Its current line-up is Day Program 2.0, with two accounts at 50K, 100K and 150K: Day Soft, which has a daily loss limit, and Day Flex, which has none, with every other rule identical. Four legacy accounts from 9K to 200K are still sold. Everything is a monthly subscription with no activation fee, starting at $130 a month list for a 50K Day Soft. You keep 90% of profits, can request up to $4,500 per payout, and payouts are processed within 24 hours, but each account is capped at $24,000 in total. Two disclosures set UProfit apart: it publishes an actual pass rate, 22.45% for Q3 2024, and it states plainly that the funded stage is a simulated Virtual Live Account with real capital reserved for a separate top tier. The caveat is that its Trustpilot rating is currently unavailable on the Trustpilot official website, despite a review distribution that looks healthy.

IQ Capital has a genuinely well-designed rule set: a 90/10 split from the first dollar with no paid upgrade, NO daily loss limit at all, no minimum payout, a consistency rule that raises the bar rather than failing you, a 48-hour payout guarantee backed by a real penalty, and a soft-breach system that closes the offending trade instead of the account. The problem is the paperwork around it. The site names TWO different operating companies (Saint Lucia and UAE) and publishes a registration number for neither; the marketing promises no subscriptions while a monthly management fee is documented in the same breath; it promises daily payouts the rules do not support; and the pricing page still advertises an 80/20 split contradicting the 90/10 everywhere else.

E8 Markets offers single-phase simulated programs with distinct rules by product and market. One and Pro cover Classic Markets and Perpetual Futures; Signature covers Classic Markets and Futures; Zero Starter/Max serves Futures. Zero and Signature use EOD trailing drawdown, while Pro’s standard static floor moves after the first payout. Pro retains half the profit as a buffer that can count toward later payouts. Zero closes after five payout requests and supplies a free challenge of the same size.

TradeDay offers Quick Pay and Fast Pass futures evaluations leading to Funded Sim and potentially Funded Live accounts. Quick Pay has a $10,000 gross-profit review threshold per simulated account, including previous withdrawals; traders must stop there because excess profits are forfeited. This is a transition threshold, not a lifetime earnings cap. Payout splits, consistency and drawdown models differ by program and stage.

The5ers (Five Percent Online Ltd, a UK company — but contracted under Israeli law with exclusive jurisdiction in Tel Aviv) runs four CFD programmes: Bootcamp, Hyper Growth, Pro Growth and High Stakes. Its real strengths are genuine: drawdown is STATIC on every CFD programme, the split scales to 100% for free rather than as a paid add-on, and High Stakes offers 1:100 leverage. But two things are widely misreported. First, a 3.5% commission is taken from EVERY cash withdrawal — Rise, crypto and bank transfer alike; the only 0% route is non-convertible Hub Credit. Second, the celebrated ~70% fee refund is High Stakes only, is paid as account equity rather than cash, and is itself subject to that 3.5% on the way out. High Stakes qualifying days require 0.5% of initial balance using the lower of midnight balance and equity, less the previous day’s balance. Floating losses can reduce that result below the threshold; they do not automatically invalidate the day.
