Prop Firm Offering 1 Million Dollars Funding
Updated
“$1 million in funding” can mean a single account, several permitted accounts added together or a ceiling available only after a long scaling process. Those routes require different purchases and different evidence. This page focuses on how a trader could actually reach a seven-figure allocation, rather than treating every million-dollar headline as an account available today.
The comparison distinguishes the starting account size, the maximum combined allocation and any performance-based growth route. A nominal balance may be simulated, and it is not money the trader owns or can withdraw. The separate loss allowance determines how much adverse movement the programme permits.
Start by asking whether the million-dollar figure is available at entry, after evaluations, through aggregation or only after scaling. Then check whether the firm’s overall trader cap supports that route. Buying several accounts does not establish permission to combine their allocations, trade them identically or withdraw the advertised total. The practical question is which documented steps lead to usable access and what limits apply along the way.

Firm comparison
Reviewed 5 October 2026. This table separates documented scaling routes, combined-account limits and unresolved claims. Inclusion does not mean every listed firm currently provides a verified $1 million route. Currency, programme and purchase-date conditions matter.
| Firm | Current ceiling or evidence | Route to $1 million | Key conditions and qualifications | Official source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FTMO | $2 million combined | Scaling | Four-month performance reviews; 25% increases after qualifying profit and rewards. | Official rules / programme |
| Funded Trading Plus | $2.5 million published ladder | Scaling | Programme-specific profit milestones and discretionary risk review; not initial allocation. | Official rules / programme |
| FTUK | Up to $6.4 million, model-dependent | Scaling | Starting size and selected programme determine the ladder; Instant Level 7 requires its optional unlock. | Official rules / programme |
| E8 Markets | Product and market-specific household limits | Aggregation, subject to each product cap | Official allocation guidance lists $500,000 limits for E8 One and Pro per market and separate account-count limits. Do not assume two $500,000 accounts of one product are permitted. | Official rules / programme |
| The5ers | Up to $4 million on selected routes | Scaling | Bootcamp and Hyper Growth have distinct ladders; an evaluation purchase cap is not the scaled ceiling. | Official rules / programme |
| Alpha Capital Group | $2 million across scaled accounts | Scaling | Eligible Alpha Pro, Swing and Three accounts: 10% growth can qualify for an increase equal to 10% of initial balance. | Official rules / programme |
| FunderPro | $5 million | Scaling | 10% profit in each of three consecutive months qualifies for a 50% increase under the published plan. | Official rules / programme |
| FundedNext | Up to $4 million on eligible programmes | Scaling | Pro requires four qualifying rewards, 4% growth per qualifying cycle and at least two months. Merged accounts are excluded; Stellar Lite and older purchases follow separate rules. | Official rules / programme |
| FundingPips | $2 million per Prime Account | Prime scaling | Prime adds 10% per scale-up; profit targets and qualifying days change by level. The ordinary allocation cap does not establish a lifetime Prime limit. | Official rules / programme |
| OFP Funding | $5 million advertised in official scaling article | Scaling claim; confirm applicable contract | The article describes 20% profit over three months for a 25% initial-size increase. Confirm the current product is eligible before relying on this route. | Official rules / programme |
| FXIFY | Up to $4 million in the published $400,000 example | Scaling | 10% return and two profitable months out of three; first increase 25%, then quarterly doubling under the published schedule. | Official rules / programme |
| Instant Funding | $1 million combined starting balances; $1.28 million Pro/Lite scaling | Aggregation or eligible scaling | Pro/Lite double at a 10% gain. Other named models have different growth caps; scaled increases do not use the starting-allocation cap. | Official rules / programme |
| Maven Trading | $1 million scaled; $200,000 starting funded capital | Scaling | 10% over four months, 2.5% monthly and at least one payout each month; qualifying increase 25%. | Official rules / programme |
| Goat Funded Trader | Million-dollar ceiling not established by the checked scaling schedule | Unconfirmed at $1 million | The current four-level plan publishes 15%–50% increases based on original size and payout/time conditions; this does not itself verify the former $2 million claim. | Official rules / programme |
| Blue Guardian | Official guidance conflicts: $2 million / $4 million | Scaling, exact ceiling unresolved | The same general-rules page names both ceilings and a 12%-in-three-months requirement. Obtain the binding model-specific limit. | Official rules / programme |
| Hola Prime | Up to $4 million | Scaling | Four-month cycles, 10% net simulated profit, two profitable months, two payouts and positive balance; increases vary by scaling stage. | Official rules / programme |
| City Traders Imperium | $2 million per account; $4 million across two | Direct / Instant scaling | Direct doubles at each 10% milestone. Challenge allocation limits are separate from these routes. | Official rules / programme |
| Top One Trader | Official PRO v2 pages disagree: $2 million / $5 million | Scaling, confirm applicable cap | The allocation page and overview conflict. A household starting cap must not be presented as the final scaled ceiling. | Official rules / programme |
| Think Capital | $1.5 million overall; Bolt capped at $500,000 scaled | Eligible challenge scaling | Lightning, Dual Step and Nexus: 10% over three months and three withdrawals for a 20% initial-balance increase. Instant has separate terms. | Official rules / programme |
| Finotive Funding | $2.04 million aggregate Challenge / Pro; $680,000 per account | Multiple scaled accounts | The current terms cap Instant Standard/Lite at $680,000 scaled. A single account does not reach $1 million under the stated cap. | Official rules / programme |
| Rebels Funding | Homepage lists up to $320,000 simulated accounts | Seven-figure route not verified | Do not treat the earlier approximate $640,000 claim as a current contractual cap or proof of a million-dollar route. Check the exact RCF contract and programme. | Official rules / programme |
| Blueberry Funded | $2 million per trader | Scaling | 10% net profit across three months and four payouts; eligible increases follow the original programme rules. | Official rules / programme |
| Axi Select | $1 million at Pro M | Performance-based stage progression | Six stages with equity, Edge Score, duration and trading requirements. Not a $1 million account issued on joining; the old trader-count claim has been removed. | Official rules / programme |
| Quant Tekel / QT Funded | $300,000 total funded allocation | No $1 million route under the checked limit | Instant has a $100,000 sublimit that counts toward the total. The old $400,000 combined figure was incorrect. | Official rules / programme |
| Top Tier Trader / TX3 Funding | $1.6 million combined before scaling; $2 million total stated | Aggregation or eligible Pro scaling | Only Pro scales. The page also says accounts scale to $2 million but later limits scaled Pro to $1 million within the $2 million total; confirm that distinction. | Official rules / programme |
| Fintokei | Published ProTrader schedules extend beyond entry caps | Programme / currency-specific scaling; confirm current contract | Official provider documents include seven-figure tiers. The former blanket “No” based on a $400,000 figure was unsupported; check the currency and applicable document version. | Official rules / programme |
| BrightFunded | No published upper scaling balance limit | Scaling | 30% of original size per qualifying four-month review; 10% total profit, two profitable months, two payouts and nonnegative balance. | Official rules / programme |
| Aqua Funded | $4 million | Scaling | 12% return over three months can qualify for 25% of initial allocation, subject to approval. The previous “No mechanism published” statement was incorrect. | Official rules / programme |
| AudaCity Capital | Up to $2 million scaled | Programme-specific scaling | Separate purchased allocation from later growth. Official programme pages describe scaling, so an initial $240,000 limit is not proof that $1 million is unavailable. | Official rules / programme |
| Get Funded Now | $400,000 total allocation | No $1 million route under the checked limit | Largest published single size $200,000; multiple accounts remain separate. | Official rules / programme |
| Lux Trading Firm | $10 million final funded tier | Evaluation then funded scaling | Current rules provide staged growth. Earlier listed “$1,000,000 for £999” is retained here as a historical price reference, not a current offer or immediate funded access. | Official rules / programme |
| WeGetFunded | Current homepage: up to $400,000; legacy site advertises $4 million scaling | Current seven-figure eligibility unresolved | Legacy marketing must not be transferred to a new purchase without confirmation of the applicable contract. | Official rules / programme |
| Lark Funding | Published 1-Step sizes up to $200,000 | Seven-figure route not verified | The checked programme overview does not establish permission to aggregate or scale to $1 million. Confirm allocation separately. | Official rules / programme |
| Ment Funding | $2 million direct account advertised; eligible smaller accounts scale to $5 million | Large account or eligible scaling | Direct $2 million accounts do not scale. Earlier listed “$1,000,000 for $8,600” is a historical price reference, not a current quote; account conditions still apply. | Official rules / programme |
| Nordic Funder | $500,000 largest staged FX/CFD account | Multiple accounts allowed; $1 million combined permission unresolved | The current FAQ allows several accounts but does not establish a combined million-dollar cap. The old “Yes” needs written confirmation. | Official rules / programme |
| FX2 Funding | Homepage $400,000; allocation FAQ $300,000 | No verified $1 million route | Official figures conflict below the category threshold; confirm the current account-combination rules. | Official rules / programme |
| Alpha Trader Firm / Alpha Funded | $4 million combined under current help-centre policy | Aggregation or eligible scaling | 50% of original size after qualifying 60-day reviews; free, $5,000 and special-offer accounts are excluded. Older blog scaling figures differ. | Official rules / programme |
| BuoyTrade | $1,024,000 published Direct/Apex ladder | Scaling; aggregate terms need confirmation | Published ladder doubles by stage, but the FAQ and older terms disagree on overall allocation. Do not treat $10.24 million as an unconditional allowance. | Official rules / programme |
Three routes need separate labels
This comparison checks whether each firm documents a path to at least $1 million of permitted allocation. Rows without a verified route are included to distinguish them from qualifying options. Separate a single seven-figure account, permitted aggregation of smaller accounts and growth from a smaller starting balance. Each route should identify the programme, account currency and whether access depends on passing an evaluation or later performance milestones.
A promotional ceiling without supporting allocation rules is insufficient. If marketing and the rulebook disagree, mark the figure as unresolved rather than selecting the larger number. Limits may apply per trader, strategy, household or product family, so the relevant ceiling is not always the sum of accounts visible at checkout.
Available now is different from available eventually
For a large starting account, record the purchase price and the evaluation attached to it. For aggregation, verify both the number of accounts allowed and the combined cap. Check whether account merging is available and whether copying the same trades across accounts is permitted. Several independent accounts can also require separate payout requests and fee payments.
For a scaling route, show the starting allocation and the milestones before the seven-figure point. The dedicated scaling comparison examines growth beyond that threshold in more detail. A distant upper limit should not be presented as the capital issued after the first challenge.
Measure the million in usable loss allowance
An illustrative $1 million account with a 5% maximum loss allowance begins with $50,000 of total loss room, before considering additional daily, position or trailing restrictions. The account holder does not own the million-dollar label, and cannot treat it as a withdrawable balance.
Check whether position limits allow the strategy to use the larger account proportionately. A nominal increase may not produce an equivalent increase in permitted exposure. Also establish whether withdrawing profit changes the floor or reduces the buffer. The practical value of a large allocation depends on those mechanics and on the conditions under which rewards are paid.
Avoid buying toward an unsupported total
Before paying for multiple challenges, obtain the allocation rule for the exact combination. Confirm whether purchases already held, other programmes and copied strategies count toward the same maximum. A provider offering many account sizes has not necessarily authorised every possible combination.
This category does not suit someone looking for a $1 million cash loan, a personal investment balance or guaranteed purchasing power across several firms. It is also a poor starting point for traders whose strategy has not yet demonstrated that it can work within a smaller account’s limits. Choose the allocation route after establishing the permitted risk and total cost, rather than using the largest available number as the reason to enter.
Million-dollar funding questions
Is the advertised $1 million available as soon as I join?
Identify whether the figure describes a starting account, a combined allocation or a future scaling ceiling. These are different offers. Request the starting amount and the milestones required to reach seven figures, including any minimum review periods, additional purchases or account-combination restrictions.
How much can I actually lose on a million-dollar prop account?
Use the programme’s breach threshold rather than the nominal balance as the risk constraint. For example, a hypothetical 5% maximum loss on $1 million equals $50,000 before considering daily or position limits. The headline allocation is not an amount you are free to lose or withdraw.
Does a seven-figure allocation guarantee a proportionately larger payout?
No. Reward caps, qualifying profit, the split and withdrawal frequency determine what can be received. Ask for a worked payout example at the million-dollar tier. Also establish whether the allocation is simulated and whether the largest advertised account has the same reward conditions as the entry plan.
Can I combine smaller accounts to reach a $1 million allocation?
Only where the provider’s account-combination rules allow it. Check the total allocation permitted per trader, eligible account types and whether balances can actually merge. Five separate accounts can involve different operational restrictions from one million-dollar account, even if their advertised balances add up to the same figure.
What does a provider mean by a million dollars of buying power?
Ask whether the figure describes nominal account balance, leveraged exposure or a conditional allocation. These measures are not interchangeable. Request the actual loss allowance, contract limits and starting balance alongside the headline figure so that the amount of market exposure is not confused with usable risk capital.
