Prop firm rules
Futures prop firms with a first payout in 5 days or less (50K)
10/17
10 of the 17 futures prop firms we track need 5 days or fewer before the first payout (each firm counts days its own way): MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader, Top One, TradeDay, Blue Guardian, FTMO, Alpha Futures, Apex, FundedNext and Topstep.Same $50K account size for every firm, so the rules line up.
- This counts the days before your first payout request, the way each firm counts them.
- Firms count different things: trading days, winning days, or days after your first trade. Read the note under each firm.
- Fast eligibility is not the same as fast money. Processing time is set by each firm.
