Frisco, Texas, United States
Raanana, IsraelWhich should you choose?
By trading style
| You are… | Pick | |
|---|---|---|
| Beginners | Either | My Funded Futures: Builder's one-day pass, soft daily pause and $63 entry price with CLUB are forgiving, but trailing floors and the 7-day inactivity rule punish anyone who trades irregularly. |
| Experienced traders | My Funded Futures | Rapid pays daily at 90/10 and Pro allows up to $100,000 of sim payouts with no funded daily loss limit or consistency rule. |
| Swing traders | The5ers | Overnight and weekend holding are allowed on every CFD program with no time limit, but swaps are high (oil x10 at weekends), swap-free is funded-only on request, and a persistent directional bias can be flagged as one-sided betting. |
| Scalpers | Either | My Funded Futures: Scalping is allowed, but HFT, tight-bracket fill exploitation and maxed-out sizing on Pro can be flagged by the risk team. |
| EA & algo traders | My Funded Futures | Automation is allowed as long as it does not exploit simulated fills, but HFT is banned and the Tradovate API is not available on prop accounts. |
| News traders | Either | My Funded Futures: News is open on evaluations, Builder and Studio, while Rapid and Pro funded accounts must be flat 2 minutes either side of Tier 1 releases. |
Verdicts
My Funded Futures verdict
Fast, cheap futures funding with a published pass rate, but the risk team has the last word
Best for: Active intraday futures traders who want daily payouts, no daily loss limit and a low entry price, and who trade alone on their own device.
Avoid if: You hold positions overnight, trade irregularly, share a computer with another trader, or plan to build one very large sim balance before withdrawing.
The5ers verdict
Cheap entry, long scaling ladders and a solid payout record, but read the funded-stage rules before you scale
Best for: Manual FX traders who want a cheap, no-time-limit evaluation and plan to scale slowly with steady, two-sided trading and modest position sizes.
Avoid if: You trade news releases, run EAs or copied signals, hold one-directional trend positions, or expect large single withdrawals from a $50K-$100K account.
