Best Prop Firms with No Time Limit

A time limit caps how long you have to pass the evaluation phase, typically 30-60 days. If you don't hit the profit target by the deadline, you fail and must restart with a new eval (usually with a reset fee). Time limits favor active intraday traders and disadvantage swing traders.

Apex, Take Profit Trader, and several newer firms have removed evaluation time limits entirely. You can take 6 months to pass a $50K eval if needed. This is a major advantage for traders who only take A+ setups and don't force trades to meet artificial deadlines.

Swing traders make fewer, larger trades over longer holding periods. A 30-day eval forces them to overtrade or pick suboptimal setups to meet the deadline. No time limit lets the trader wait for genuine opportunities and pass naturally — usually with a higher win rate and less stress.

Some firms compensate by requiring a minimum number of trading days (e.g. 7 days minimum activity) or by charging recurring monthly evaluation fees while you hold the eval account open. Verify whether the firm charges monthly while you're still in eval.

30-day evals are cheaper per cycle ($85-$157 typical) and create urgency. No-time-limit evals cost the same upfront but may charge monthly while open. For high-volume traders with strong edges, 30-day suits fine. For selective traders, no-time-limit usually wins.
