Prop Firms That Scale to $2 Million

Read the ceiling as a marketing headline until you have found the ladder in the binding terms. We removed FunderPro from this category for exactly that reason: its own contract caps combined accounts at $200,000 under clause 4.10 while its marketing referred to $5,000,000. A number on a landing page is not a scaling plan.

The ranked list

Firms are ordered by JoinProp expert score. Where two firms score the same, the higher documented ceiling ranks first.

1. FTMO, 9.1, scales to $2,000,000. The best known firm in the sector. Split up to 90%, and the 2 Step maximum drawdown is genuinely static, a fixed floor rather than a trailing one. The 2 Step fee is refunded in full with your first payout, one of the only true refunds in the market. Watch the 1 Step instead: its fee is never refunded and it carries a Best Day rule that nothing warns you about.

2. FTUK, 9.0, scales to a claimed $6,400,000. The largest ceiling of any firm with a top tier score, and no stop loss requirement. Two cautions. Up to 80% on forex and up to 100% on futures for the first $15,000, but the split is stated three different ways across the firm’s own pages. And a trading day only counts toward your minimum if you made at least 0.5% profit that day, so losing and flat days are invisible.

3. The5ers, 9.0, scales to $4,000,000. The split scales to 100%, earned on performance and never sold as an add on, which is rare. Drawdown is static across every CFD programme. The two things that decide most accounts are the 3.5% commission taken from every cash withdrawal and the 0.5% profitable day rule.

4. Funding Pips, 8.4, scales to $2,000,000 on Prime. Standard allocation caps at $400,000 and only the Prime route reaches $2,000,000. The split is a payout frequency trade off rather than a reward: monthly pays 100%, on demand pays 90%. Maximum drawdown is static on all four standard models, the exception being FundingPips Zero which trails at 5%. Six programmes, fees from 29 to 888 USD. Weekend holding has been suspended on funded accounts since 29 January 2026.

5. Top One Trader, 8.1, scales to $5,000,000. The scaling plan is documented rather than advertised, which is why it sits this high on a scaling page. Split reaches 100%, earned on Instant Funding and Instant Prime, bought as an add on elsewhere. Static 9% drawdown on 2 Step PRO v2, trailing on FLASH, NOVA and both Instant plans. Costs to know: a 2% fee on every payout, a 5 minute minimum trade duration, and from 5 February 2026 new 1 Step and 2 Step accounts no longer get the fee refund on their first payout. Registered in Anjouan, Union of Comoros, and not available to US traders on MT5.

6. City Traders Imperium, 8.1, scales to $4,000,000. The ladder doubles your account at each 10% milestone, which is the clearest scaling mechanic on this page. Drawdown is balance based, calculated from closed balance rather than floating equity, and there are no time limits, so positions can breathe. Base split 90%, up to 100% at the top VIP tier. Trading as a brand since 2018 with one time fees from about $29.

7. Finotive Funding, 7.9, advertises scaling to $5,400,000. Account sizes run $2,500 to $200,000 before scaling. The signature mechanic is a strike system: breaking certain rules does not kill a funded account, it cuts your next payout split to 10% and then wipes the slate. Be aware that this same mechanic is the firm’s most common complaint, with traders reporting large payouts reduced to 10% under a subjective assessment. Dubai DIFC entity, operating since 2021.

8. AquaFunded, 7.7, scales to $4,000,000. A 90% base split, the highest base rate we have found at any firm, though the advertised 100% is a checkout add on rather than a performance tier. Nine programmes including a $5 pay later route where you only pay on passing. The fee refund waits until your fourth payout.

9. Lux Trading, 7.4, scales to an advertised $10,000,000. The biggest number on this page, attached to the most unusual model: an audited track record marketed as acceptable to banks and hedge funds, plus a monthly salary for funded traders. Flat 80% split, 6% static drawdown, no daily limit, no minimum or maximum trading days, and a fully refunded evaluation fee. The rule that decides most accounts is the Single Trade Profit Limit: any one position can realise at most 5% of the stage’s profit target, just $500 on a $100,000 evaluation, which effectively bans large one shot wins.

10. Ment Funding, 7.3, forex to $2,000,000 directly and a ladder toward $5,000,000. Ment is the only firm here that lets you reach seven figures without scaling into it, with forex sizes running $25,000 to $2,000,000 at purchase. It also runs a genuinely rare funded US equities programme on real S&P 100 names with 2 to 1 buying power, short selling and overnight holds. Split 75% on forex and futures, 80% on equities, with 90% a paid add on. Drawdown is mostly 6% static, locking at your starting balance after the first payout. Trading since 2021.

Comparison table

How this list was built

Every firm above was checked against the maximum allocation stated in its own JoinProp review, which is in turn checked against the firm’s terms, rules pages and checkout. Eight firms were removed from this category in August 2026 because their real ceiling did not support the claim: Fintokei at about EUR 400,000, Blue Guardian at $400,000, Alpha Capital at $400,000 per household, Goat Funded Trader at $400,000, AudaCity Capital at roughly $240,000, and Blueberry Funded, FundedTradingPlus and FunderPro at $200,000 each. Those firms may still be good firms, they are simply not scaling firms.
