50K futures prop firm rules compared: Apex, Bulenox, FTMO, Lucid Trading, MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader, Topstep and Tradeify

The short answer

All eight 50K plans list a $3,000 profit target. They differ on max drawdown or loss limit, daily loss limit, consistency, max size and profit split.

Comparing one account size keeps the rules like-for-like. We use each firm's 50K plan because every firm we have sourced rules for sells one. Many firms sell more than one 50K variant, so the plan name under each firm says which one we copied, and other variants and sizes have different rules.

How to read this table

Every value is copied from the firm's official pages; where it is our summary of the page it reads like one. The small grey line is the rule as we label it, using the firm's term where it has one, and the links go to our guide and the official source. The first columns are evaluation rules, while the profit split applies once you are funded. How the drawdown limit trails, whether it locks, and whether a breach is measured intraday or at end of day differ between firms, which our Topstep vs FTMO Futures: 50K evaluation risk rules compared and Topstep Maximum Loss Limit explained (50K, 100K, 150K) explain. "Not in our dataset" means we have not sourced that rule for the plan yet, not that the firm has no such rule.
