FIG 03 — FAQ
Futures prop firms, explained
- What is a futures prop firm?
- A futures proprietary trading firm funds traders to trade exchange-listed futures (like ES, NQ and CL) with the firm's capital after they pass a one-step evaluation, then shares the profits. The trader risks only the evaluation fee, not the funded balance.
- Trailing vs end-of-day drawdown — what's the difference?
- A trailing drawdown follows your account's peak balance intraday, so open profit you give back can trip it. An end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown only updates on the daily close, which is more forgiving for active traders. Check the Rules page for each firm's type.
- Which futures prop firm has the fastest payouts?
- Payout speed ranges from on-demand to twice-monthly. Sort the table or open the Payouts comparison page for first-payout timing and supported methods across every firm.
