What Our Prop Firm Comparison Tool Covers

Our comparison tool breaks down prop firm challenges attribute by attribute, all side by side in a table, so you can instantly see where each firm differs. We compare the following key factors:

Account & Pricing

  • Available account sizes
  • Challenge structure (one-step, two-step, three-step, crypto-only, etc.)

Profit Rules

  • Profit target per phase
  • Profit split
  • Rewards / payout frequency
  • Fee refund eligibility

Risk Management

  • Maximum total drawdown
  • Daily loss limit
  • Trailing or static drawdown type
  • End-of-day (EOD) rules

Trading Conditions

  • Minimum trading days
  • Consistency rules (profitable days %, number of winning days)
  • News trading allowance
  • Hedging / holding rules (if applicable)

Leverage Breakdown

  • Overall account leverage
  • FX leverage
  • Indices leverage
  • Metals leverage
  • Crypto leverage (including BTC & ETH specifics)

Funding & Payouts

  • Payout schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, on-demand)
  • Funded-stage restrictions vs evaluation rules

Why This Matters

Instead of marketing claims, the tool focuses on rules that actually impact your trading—risk limits, consistency constraints, leverage, and payout flexibility—so you can choose a prop firm that fits your style, not just the cheapest challenge.

How to Find Your Perfect Prop Firm Challenge (Without Opening 50 Tabs)

Choosing a proprietary trading firm used to mean keeping a spreadsheet with 20 columns, reading endless FAQs, and still missing the fine print about “trailing drawdown.”

We built the Funded Truth Comparator to fix that.

Instead of generic reviews, our tool lets you place two specific challenges side-by-side to see exactly where they differ—from the price tag down to the hidden rules.

Here is a quick guide on how to use the tool to find the challenge that fits your trading style.

Step 1: Choose Your Contenders (The Brands)

First, select the two Prop Firms you are interested in ensuring you aren’t comparing apples to oranges.

  • Select Brand 1: Pick a firm you know (e.g., FTMO).
  • Select Brand 2: Pick a competitor you are curious about (e.g., My Funded Futures).

Step 2: Select the Specific Challenge

This is where our tool shines. Most sites just compare “Firms.” We compare Challenges.

  • Once you pick a brand, the “Challenge” dropdown will unlock.
  • Select the exact account size and type you want (e.g., “100k Swing Account” vs. “100k Normal Account”).

Pro Tip: Try comparing different challenges from the same firm. For example, compare a 1-Step Challenge vs. a 2-Step Challenge from the same company to see if the higher price of the 1-Step is worth the easier rules.

Step 3: Analyze the “Hidden” Attributes

Click the “Compare Challenges” button. A table will generate instantly. Don’t just look at the Price; look closer at these key rows:

  • Drawdown Type: Is it Static (easier) or Trailing (harder)? This often justifies a price difference.
  • Daily Loss: Does it calculate based on your Balance or your Equity?
  • News Trading: If you are a news trader, check this row immediately. If one says “Prohibited,” you know to walk away.

Step 4: Look for the “Deep Dive” Link

Sometimes, a table isn’t enough. If our team has written a detailed head-to-head review of these specific firms, a banner will appear above the table saying “Related Article Available.” Click that to read our full breakdown of who pays out faster and whose support is better.


Quick Example Scenarios

The “Budget” Trader:

  • Left Side: Select a premium firm (e.g., Topstep).
  • Right Side: Select a budget firm.
  • Look for: Check the Profit Target features. Is the budget firm cheaper because they force you to make 15% profit instead of 10%? The tool will show you.

The “Swing” Trader:

  • Left Side: Select a standard account.
  • Right Side: Select a “Swing” account.
  • Look for: The Weekend Holding attribute. Ensure it says “Allowed” on the side you pick.

I’ve been trading for over 5 years, mainly across Indian markets, futures, forex, crypto, and CFDs. Over the years, I’ve traded with a lot of different brokers and prop firms and spent a huge amount of time testing their rules, platforms, pricing, drawdown models, payout systems, and trading conditions.

I’ve been through plenty of failed prop firm challenges myself before eventually figuring out what works for me. That experience has given me a pretty practical understanding of what traders actually deal with when choosing a prop firm or trading platform.

Outside of trading, I work with financial content, SEO, and WordPress. I’ve built websites and tools around trading and finance, tested a wide range of trading tools, and even modified Pine Script indicators on TradingView as a hobby.

I write about prop firms, brokers, crypto platforms, and trading tools with a focus on the things that actually matter to traders, including rules, costs, payouts, and the overall trading experience.
