Your #1 Source for Futures & Perp Prop Firm Discounts, Reviews and Verified Payouts

Damn Prop Firms (DamnPropFirms.com) is a futures prop firm review and discount site run by funded trader Kyle Kozlowski, with $1,000,000+ in personal payouts across $5M+ of funded capital since 2023. We track 25 futures prop firms and score 266 account plans with the DGT Score, a 0–10 rating of value, drawdown risk, payout structure, consistency rules, payout caps and firm trust, and our partner code DGT unlocks a verified discount at 24 of those firms.

You pay for an evaluation, hit its profit target without breaking the drawdown or daily loss limit, then trade a funded account and keep most of what you make: typically 80–90% of profits, up to 100% at some firms we track. Our guide to what a futures prop firm is walks through each step, including what happens when you lose.

Start with the firms we rank highest right now, Lucid Trading, Take Profit Trader and FundedNext, then compare them on the rule that affects your strategy most: payout speed, consistency rule, drawdown type or price. Our ranking of the best futures prop firms scores all 25 firms we track on those rules and on verified payout history.

The lowest $50K evaluation prices with code DGT right now: Bulenox ($19.25), DayTraders ($20) and Funded Futures Family ($23.80). Check the activation fee as well, because some firms charge one when you pass and it changes the real cost of getting funded. Our list of the 24 cheapest futures prop firms ranks every firm by its lowest $50K price.

DGT is our partner code. Right now it unlocks a verified discount at 24 futures prop firms, up to 90% off at Apex Trader Funding, DayTraders and Phidias Prop Firm. We earn a commission when you use it (the firm pays it, not you), and every rate is checked on the firm’s own checkout. See all live futures prop firm discount codes.

No. 14 of the 25 firms we track have no consistency rule on at least one funded account, including Lucid Trading, Take Profit Trader and FundedNext. Where a rule applies, it caps how much of your total profit can come from your best day (usually 30–50%) before you can withdraw. See every firm on our no consistency rule prop firms list, or test your own numbers with the consistency calculator.

Yes. 11 instant funding prop firms sell a funded account with no evaluation, including Lucid Trading, Tradeify and Purdia, and 13 firms let you pass the evaluation in one day if you hit the target. Instant accounts cost more upfront, so compare the price, drawdown and payout rules before you buy.

At some firms. 9 of the 25 firms we track allow fully automated trading, including Lucid Trading, FundedNext and Tradeify; the rest restrict automation or allow manual trading only. Read the automation clause in the firm’s rules before you run anything. Our algo trading prop firms list shows what each firm permits.

Across the 25 firms we track, the most widely supported platforms are Tradovate (19 firms), NinjaTrader (19), TradingView (19) and Rithmic (9). Support can differ between the evaluation and the funded account, so confirm your platform before you buy. Our prop firm trading platforms guide compares them.

Country restrictions vary widely, from 7 to 119 blocked countries at the firms we track, so check before you buy. The firms with the fewest restrictions right now: Savius, TradersLaunch and Phidias Prop Firm. US traders can start with our prop firms for US traders page; everyone else can check eligibility, payment methods and tax notes in our prop firms by country guides for 50 countries.

Most futures prop firms sell simulated evaluations and funded accounts, so they are not regulated like a futures broker; a few move proven traders onto a live brokerage account. The legit ones pay on time and publish every rule upfront: 16 of the 25 firms we track carry our DGT Trusted badge, and firms that fail our checks get a red-flag warning on their review. More on spotting the bad ones in are prop firms legit.

Yes. Alongside the futures prop firms we review perpetual futures prop firms — funded accounts for crypto perps that trade 24/7 — led by Vest Markets and My Funded Perps, with Breakout and Hypernova also covered. Code DGT works on them too, and because perp firms pay in USDC on-chain, every payout they make is on the payout tracker (Vest Markets payouts, My Funded Perps payouts).

We read them off public blockchains instead of trusting screenshots: $1.26B paid to 176,244 traders across 19 firms so far, every payout linked to its transaction. Futures firms pay through Rise on Arbitrum; perp firms pay USDC from their own contracts on Base and Arbitrum. How we count explains the method, and the payout leaderboard ranks the traders paid the most.
