Best Futures Prop Firms 2026

Futures prop firms are mostly US-based, price their evaluations as monthly subscriptions, use dollar profit targets and trailing drawdowns, and trade CME products such as the E-mini S&P 500 and crude oil.

The trailing drawdown is the rule to understand before buying any of these; the guide on static versus trailing drawdown explains it.

The rule: Firms whose focus includes futures; ordered by methodology score.
