No Time Limit Prop Firms
Best No Time Limit Prop Firms (2026)
A no time limit prop firm lets you work through an evaluation without a fixed deadline. Thirty firms are currently tagged in this category on JoinProp, but only eighteen reviews explicitly state no time limit, unlimited time, or no minimum/maximum trading-day deadline. This page ranks those eighteen verified firms only.
Quick answer: the strongest verified no-time-limit firms are FTMO, Funded Trading Plus, Topstep, The5ers, Crypto Fund Trader and Alpha Capital. FTMO and Funded Trading Plus lead on score, Topstep is the strongest futures route, and The5ers has the cleanest static-drawdown structure among the high-scoring CFD firms.

More details +FTMO
FTMO (FTMO s.r.o., Prague) is the sector's most established simulated-funding firm, running a 2-Step and a newer 1-Step challenge. The most important fact is one almost every review gets backwards: the 2-Step fee is refunded 100% with your first payout, while the 1-Step fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. The 1-Step's lower sticker price (€499 vs €540 on a $100K) therefore makes it the more expensive route to funded, permanently. The 2-Step uses a STATIC 10% drawdown; the 1-Step uses an end-of-day TRAILING drawdown, a 3% daily loss, a 50% Best Day Rule that silently blocks payouts, no Scaling Plan — and it resets your entire drawdown buffer every time you withdraw. FTMO charges no withdrawal commission, has no consistency rules on the 2-Step, and scales to $2,000,000. There is no reset product: failing means buying again at full price.PROS:
- 2-Step challenge fee is refunded 100% with your first payout — one of the only genuine full refunds in the industry
- 2-Step max drawdown is STATIC (10%) — the floor never moves
- No consistency rules on the 2-Step beyond the stated objectives
- No withdrawal commission at all — FTMO charges nothing to pay you
- Scaling Plan: +25% capital every 4 months up to $2,000,000 (2-Step), performance-gated and free
- Minimum payout just $20 by bank wire
- No time limit on either challenge; MT4, MT5 and cTrader all supported
- Swing accounts have no news or weekend-holding restrictions
CONS:
- The 1-Step fee is NON-REFUNDABLE — it looks cheaper than the 2-Step but is permanently the more expensive route to funded
- The 1-Step uses an END-OF-DAY TRAILING drawdown (the 2-Step is static) and a tighter 3% daily loss
- The 1-Step's 50% Best Day Rule silently blocks your pass or payout — it is not a breach, so nothing warns you
- On the 1-Step, every payout RESETS your trailing drawdown back to 90% of initial capital — you lose your entire buffer
- The Scaling Plan is 2-Step ONLY — the 1-Step has none
- There is NO reset product — failing means repurchasing the challenge at full price
- CFD prop firm trading simulated capital; unregulated
- Split scales to 100% - free and performance-gated, never a paid add-on
- STATIC drawdown across every CFD programme; the floor never trails
- A 3.5% commission is deducted from every cash withdrawal, on all methods
- The 0.5% profitable-day rule is the real gate to getting paid
★★★★★
More details +The5ers
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. The rule that decides most accounts is the 0.5% profitable-day definition: on a $100K you need $500 of closed profit in a day to qualify, and an open losing position at midnight wipes the day out entirely.PROS:
- Drawdown is STATIC across every CFD programme — the floor never trails you
- The split scales to 100% and it is free and performance-gated, never a paid add-on
- High Stakes runs 1:100 leverage — double most competitors
- A genuine ~70% fee refund exists on High Stakes
- No time limit on any evaluation; one-time fee, no recurring charges
- Forex commission 4 USD per lot round turn; no commission on indices
- MT5, cTrader and TradingView (US traders) supported
CONS:
- A 3.5% commission is deducted from every cash withdrawal — Rise, crypto and bank transfer
- The 0.5% profitable-day rule is the real gate, and an open losing position at midnight destroys the day
- The 70% refund is High Stakes only, paid as equity, and the Terms separately call the fee non-refundable
- The consistency-rule percentage is not disclosed before purchase
- The5ers Futures uses a never-locking trailing drawdown — a trap for CFD traders crossing over
- 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
- US futures firm running the Trading Combine on simulated capital
- The 100%-of-first-$10,000 perk closed to new accounts on 12 January 2026
- Maximum Loss Limit trails on end-of-day balance but breaches intraday on unrealised P&L
- The consistency target does not fail you - it raises what you must earn to withdraw
- Monthly subscription for the Combine
★★★★★
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
- Real UK company (Companies House 13719951); NOT FCA regulated, and no FCA warning exists
- A flat 80% split on every plan - there is no 90% tier at any price
- Static on Alpha Pro, Swing and Three; Alpha One trails a high-water mark
- The 2-minute rule: 50% of profits must come from trades held over two minutes
- $100 minimum payout; the fee is not refundable - all sales are final
★★★★★
More details +Alpha Capital
Alpha Capital Group is a UK-registered prop firm running four evaluation paths - Alpha One, Alpha Pro, Alpha Swing and Alpha Three - on MT5, cTrader, DX Trade and TradeLocker. The split is a flat 80% on every plan, and scaling raises your balance rather than your share. Every plan uses a static drawdown except Alpha One, which trails. The fee is non-refundable, and the rule that ends most accounts here is not a drawdown at all - it is the 2-minute average trade duration test.PROS:
- Static drawdown on Alpha Pro, Alpha Swing and Alpha Three
- Hedging and stacking permitted; overnight and weekend holds allowed in all evaluation phases
- Four platforms: MetaTrader 5, cTrader, DX Trade and TradeLocker

- The 2-minute rule: at least 50% of profits must come from trades held over 2 minutes, or profits are removed
- Alpha One trails on a high-water mark, and once locked, withdrawing all profit closes the account
- The Risk Management Group can cut your leverage to 1:30 and halve your lot caps at the firm's discretion

★★★★★
More details +Funded Next
FundedNext is a UAE proprietary trading firm operating through GrowthNext F.Z.E. (Ajman Free Zone), running the Stellar range: 1-Step, 2-Step, Lite and Instant. Per its own disclaimer it is a simulation-based platform. The base profit split is 80% — 90% is reached through the Scale-Up plan, and 95% is a PAID add-on costing 25–30% on top of the challenge fee. A processing fee of up to 3.5% is deducted from EVERY payout, so a nominal 80% split nets closer to 77%. Since 12 January 2026 the 1-Step split starts at 80% rather than 90% — and resetting an older account moves you onto the newer, worse terms. The 1-Step pays on a 5-business-day cycle; the 2-Step's first cycle is 21 days, then 14 thereafter. Minimum payout from 20 USD, and only 2 minimum trading days on the 1-Step.PROS:

★★★★★
More details +Funding Pips
Funding Pips is a Comoros-registered prop firm (FundingPips Corp) with an administrative base in Dubai. All accounts are simulated. The advertised "up to 100%" profit split is neither a tier you earn nor an add-on you buy - it is a payout-frequency trade-off: weekly pays 60%, bi-weekly 80%, on-demand 90% and monthly 100%. That makes it the only major firm whose top split is free and rule-based rather than bought or scaled into. Maximum drawdown is STATIC on all four standard models (a floor that never moves) - the exceptions are FundingPips Zero, which trails at 5% and is by far the strictest product here, and Prime, which trails at 8%. Six programmes, fees from 29 to 888 USD, max allocation 400,000 USD, and Prime scaling to 2,000,000. Weekend holding has been suspended on funded accounts since January 2026. The challenge fee is refunded at your 4th reward on 1 Step and 2 Step Standard only - reset fees never are.PROS:
- 100% profit split is genuinely FREE and rule-based - you just accept a 30-day payout cycle (rivals charge for it or make you scale)
- Maximum drawdown is STATIC on all four standard models - the floor never moves
- No time limit on any evaluation
- 2 Step Pro is the quiet bargain: cheapest fees, 1-day minimum, and the Risk Per Trade Idea rule removed entirely
- No commission at all on indices or energies; 5 USD per lot on forex and metals
- Challenge fee refunded at your 4th reward on 1 Step and 2 Step Standard
- Max allocation now 400,000 USD; Prime scales to 2,000,000
- MT5, cTrader and Match-Trader

- Weekly payouts pay only 60% - the fastest cycle costs you 40% of your profit

- Profit Concentration Policy (June 2026): one big winning trade in your evaluation permanently attaches a 4-profitable-day gate to EVERY future payout

More details +Fxify
FXIFY is a broker-owned simulated forex/CFD prop firm: its challenge provider sits in the same corporate group, Prime Intermarket Group or FXPIG, as the Mauritius-licensed broker that supplies its pricing and liquidity. It trades on MT4, MT5, DXTrade and TradingView, plus crypto, with a separate FXIFY Futures brand. Its signature feature is first payout on demand: after passing, one closed trade lets you withdraw immediately with no minimum days, target or amount, credible because it owns its broker end to end. It offers 1-step, 2-step, 3-phase, Lightning, Instant Funding and crypto programs, sizes 5,000 to 400,000 from about 19 dollars, a split up to 90 percent (100 percent on crypto and futures), a 50 dollar minimum payout and scaling to 4 million. The main risk is a recurring pattern of payout denials citing latency arbitrage or prohibited strategies. It does not accept US traders.PROS:

More details +fundedtradingplus
Funded Trading Plus sells three programmes - Instant Funding, 1-Step Express and 2-Step Classic - on MT5 and Match-Trader, with an 80% base split. Two things reshaped the firm in 2026: the entire product line was replaced in February, taking the fee rebate with it, and the company was acquired by Instant Funding in May. It is UK-registered and says plainly that it is not FCA regulated. The 2-Step carries a 3% single-symbol loss limit that terminates the account outright.PROS:
- Instant Funding and 1-Step Express allow payouts from day one, once in profit
- 7-day payout cycle on Instant and 1-Step Express (10 days on 2-Step)
- $50 minimum payout on Instant and 1-Step Express
- EAs, algos and bots are permitted on all programmes
- Static 8% drawdown on the 2-Step Classic
- Swap-free across all programmes; no monthly fees
- UK-registered operating company (Acello Ltd, no. 12696083)
- No minimum trading days and no time limit
CONS:
- The fee rebate was abolished in February 2026 - there is now NO refund on any programme on sale
- 2-Step Classic: a 3% loss on any single symbol terminates the account outright
- 2-Step Classic consistency rule - one strong day can block a pass even if you hit the target
- Instant Funding and 1-Step Express both use a TRAILING drawdown; payouts do not lower the high-water mark
- Weekend holding is not allowed on Instant Funding
- The firm markets a split of up to 100%, but no rule document supports more than 90%
No time limit removes the calendar pressure, not the rulebook. Minimum trading days, profitable-day definitions, consistency rules, payout gates and inactivity clauses can still decide whether the account survives.
The ranked list
Firms are ordered by JoinProp expert score. Firms whose own review does not explicitly confirm no time limit are excluded from the list and the schema, even if they remain tagged in the category.
1. FTMO, 9.1. No time limit on either challenge. The 2-Step remains the higher-quality route because its fee is refunded with the first payout and its 10% maximum drawdown is static. The 1-Step has no minimum trading days, but it also has a non-refundable fee, trailing drawdown and a Best Day rule that can block a pass or payout.
2. Funded Trading Plus, 9.1. No minimum trading days and no time limit, with day-one withdrawals on Instant and 1-Step Express and a seven-day payout cycle. The trade-off is that the fee rebate was abolished in February 2026, and the 2-Step Classic has a single-symbol loss rule plus a consistency rule.
3. Topstep, 9.0. A futures route with no time limit on the Trading Combine and only two minimum trading days. The Daily Loss Limit is optional in the Combine and locks you out for the day rather than failing the account. The key caveat is payout architecture: winning-day requirements and reactivation costs matter after funding.
4. The5ers, 9.0. No time limit on any evaluation, static drawdown across every CFD programme and a profit split that can scale to 100% without being sold as an add-on. The two rules to understand are the 3.5% commission deducted from every withdrawal and the 0.5% profitable-day definition.
5. Crypto Fund Trader, 8.9. No time limit on any evaluation phase, with 556 crypto instruments, Bybit execution and payouts in USDT, BTC, ETH or bank transfer. It is the strongest crypto-native no-deadline route, but simulated profit is capped at $10,000 per day and per trade.
6. Alpha Capital, 8.9. No time limit and no account expiry on any evaluation. Static drawdown applies on most plans, with four platforms and permissive hedging, stacking and weekend holding rules. The main caution is the 2-minute rule: 50% of profits must come from trades held over two minutes.
7. Sabio Trade, 8.5. A one-step evaluation with no time limit and weekly payouts. The important nuance is inactivity: no time limit does not mean the account can be abandoned, because 30 consecutive inactive days can breach the account.
8. Funding Pips, 8.4. No time limit on any evaluation, with static maximum drawdown on the standard models and a strong value case on 2 Step Pro. Payout frequency is the trade-off: the headline 100% split requires a monthly payout cycle, while on-demand payouts pay less.
9. Goat Funded Trader, 8.2. No time limit on any evaluation and static drawdown on all 1-Step, 2-Step and 3-Step evaluations. It also supports five platforms, swap-free accounts, news trading and weekend holding. Watch the payout consistency rule: breaching it can cap the split at 40%.
10. Bulenox. No minimum trading days and no time limit on the evaluation, with a futures model built for patient traders. The split is strong: 100% of the first $10,000 and then 90%. The cost risk is the recurring monthly subscription, which makes a slow evaluation more expensive.
11. AtmosFunded. Unlimited time to complete the challenge, subject to inactivity expiry, with weekend and overnight holding allowed and personal EAs permitted. The rulebook is detailed and useful, but the 90% split is a paid add-on over the base split.
12. Rebels Funding, 7.9. A patient-trader model with no time limit on evaluations and a very long phase window. It also advertises a 200% maximum refund. The caution is that some refund details are inconsistent across materials, so confirm the current terms before buying.
13. Blueberry Funded, 7.8. No consistency rule and no time limit, with regulated-broker infrastructure behind the brand and a base 80% split rising to 90%. The ASIC licence covers the broker, not the simulated challenges, and payout-breach terms need careful reading.
14. AudaCity Capital, 7.7. The Funded Trader Programme has a 5-day minimum and no time limit, plus no funded-account consistency rule. It is best read as a no-deadline instant-funding route with a capital-doubling ladder, but the split starts at 50% and the daily trailing drawdown is tight.
15. Bright Funded, 7.7. No time limit on any plan, with static drawdown on both 2-Step plans. The 1-Step trails in real time, and the fee refund is a paid add-on rather than a standard refund.
16. Stampede, 7.5. No time limit anywhere on the challenge ladder, no consistency rule and static drawdown on all plans on sale. The clean rulebook is promising, but the firm launched in July 2026 and has no meaningful payout history yet.
17. Take Profit Trader, 7.5. A futures subscription model with no time limit: keep the subscription active until you pass or stop. That removes the deadline but turns time into cost, so it suits traders who can move steadily through the one-step test.
18. Lux Trading, 7.4. No minimum or maximum trading days, a 6% static drawdown, no daily loss limit and a fully refunded evaluation fee. Its $10,000,000 ceiling is the largest in the group, but the Single Trade Profit Limit effectively rules out big one-shot wins.
