The futures prop firm space is growing fast — and so are the scams. Several firms launched in 2024-2025 have already closed. We only list firms that have documented payout history.
Futures prop evaluations are exploding in the US because traders can access CME products with clear exchange rules—while many spot forex props remain a grey zone for American accounts. PropFirmPaid still applies the same payout-first filter: if we cannot trace credible withdrawal behavior, the firm does not land on this list.

A futures prop firm funds traders on exchange-listed derivatives (CME, CBOT, etc.) instead of broker CFDs. You trade real contract specs—tick values, margin, and halts are published by the exchange, which removes a lot of “creative interpretation” risk that haunts some forex props.
That matters for US traders: legitimate futures programs lean on regulated market infrastructure, whereas offshore CFD stacks can be structurally fragile. PropFirmPaid still treats every desk as guilty until payout receipts exist—exchange plumbing is necessary, not sufficient.

Looking for forex prop firms instead?
See our forex prop firms →Static drawdown is safer than trailing drawdown. With trailing drawdown, one good day followed by a pullback can wipe your buffer — even if you are profitable overall.
Any firm can claim payouts. Look for documented proof: Trustpilot reviews mentioning specific amounts, Twitter screenshots, or community Discord reports.
Futures require specific platforms: Rithmic, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, or Sierra Chart. Verify your preferred platform is supported before buying.
Unlike many forex prop firms, legitimate futures prop firms typically accept US traders. If a futures firm restricts US traders — treat that as a red flag and verify why.
