Every futures prop firm buries its real rules in help centers and PDFs — and changes them without telling anyone. This section exists to fix that. For each firm we track, you get the evaluation rules, the funded payout rules, and the pricing, organized by account type and account size, in plain English — re-verified against the firm’s official pages every month.
Looking for something specific? Traders usually land here searching things like “funded rules for Apex 50K” or “Take Profit Trader 150K payout rules.” Every firm’s page is built to answer exactly those questions.
Firm Rules and Payout Guides
Apex Trader Funding Rules
Four sizes (25K–150K) in EOD and Intraday trailing flavors, a 30-day evaluation clock, 100% sim-funded payouts — with a safety net, a 50% payout consistency rule and a hard limit of 6 payouts per account. Read the Apex rules →
Take Profit Trader Rules
Pass the Test with an end-of-day trailing drawdown, then watch it switch to intraday trailing in the funded PRO account. 80/20 split, a buffer to clear, then daily payouts with no caps — and the invitation-only PRO+ live tier at 90/10. Read the Take Profit Trader rules →
Tradeify Rules
Three ways in: the cheap Growth evaluation, the Select evaluation with your choice of Flex or Daily payout policy, and Lightning instant funding. 90/10 from the first payout, no activation fees, EOD trailing everywhere. Read the Tradeify rules →
Topstep Rules
The original futures prop firm — but TopstepX only, no NinjaTrader. A 55% consistency rule in the Combine, two payout paths in the funded XFA, and a Live Funded Account with a reserve that unlocks in stages. Read the Topstep rules →
My Funded Futures Rules
Rebuilt in 2026: Rapid, Rapid EOD, Pro and Builder plans, all one-time payments with $0 activation. Daily payouts on Rapid at 90/10 — but the funded drawdown switches to intraday trailing. Read the My Funded Futures rules →
FTMO Futures Rules
FTMO entered futures in September 2026: a single-phase evaluation on NinjaTrader and Tradovate, Growth vs Pro plans, a 90/10 split — and on Pro, a hard daily loss limit that terminates the funded account. Read the FTMO Futures rules →
Earn2Trade Rules
Trader Career Path and Gauntlet Mini under the July 2026 overhaul: no minimum days, 30% consistency — and a tiered funded split that pays only 50% on small withdrawals. Read the Earn2Trade rules →
Bulenox Rules
Pick your drawdown poison at purchase — intraday trailing or end-of-day with scaling contracts. 90/10 funded payouts on Wednesdays, a 40% consistency rule and a safety reserve. Read the Bulenox rules →
Elite Trader Funding Rules
Six tracks from Static to Direct to Funded, up to 100% of sim payouts until $25,000 cumulative — then Live Elite at 80/20. Active Trade Days decide every payout. Read the Elite Trader Funding rules →
BluSky Trading Rules
Launch, Propel, Orbit and Instant plans with a consistency formula that never fails you, buffer zones before payouts, and a mandatory live review at $10,000 profit. Read the BluSky rules →
FundedNext Futures Rules
The 95% Flex split — the highest in futures prop — gated by Benchmark Days before every withdrawal, plus Rapid daily payouts and a strict 20% perpetual consistency rule on Direct. Read the FundedNext Futures rules →

Prop Firm News
Firms change rules, launch products and occasionally stop paying. We cover it in the News stream and the Prop Firms archive — including payout denials, drawdown explainers and rule-change alerts.
How we keep this honest: every number on these pages comes from the firm’s own website or help center — never from affiliate blogs — and each page carries a “last verified” date. If a firm changes a rule, the monthly refresh catches it and the news stream reports it.
