The Ultimate Guide to Comparing Prop Firms
Make informed decisions with expert insights
Choosing the right prop firm is the most impactful decision in your funded trading journey. With dozens of firms competing for your business, understanding what to compare matters as much as how to compare. This guide breaks down the key factors that separate a profitable partnership from a costly mistake.
Step 1: Choose Your Challenge Type
The first decision is your evaluation format. 1-step challenges get you funded faster with a single phase, typically requiring an 8-10% profit target. 2-step evaluations split the target across two phases (e.g. 8% + 5%), making each milestone more achievable. Instant funding skips evaluation entirely for a premium fee — ideal for confident traders who want immediate market access.
Step 2: Match Your Trading Style
Your strategy dictates which firms are compatible. Scalpers need firms with tight spreads and EA support. News traders require firms that explicitly allow trading during high-impact releases. Swing traders should prioritise weekend holding and no time limit evaluations. Use our Risk Profile Matcher for personalised recommendations.
Step 3: Calculate Total Cost
Don't compare fees in isolation. Factor in our 2% cashback, whether the fee is refundable upon passing, profit split percentages, and potential scaling plan earnings. A $500 challenge with 90% split and refundable fee can be far more valuable than a $200 challenge with 70% split. Use our Challenge Cost Calculator and ROI Calculator to model real scenarios.
