Frisco, Texas, United StatesWhich 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 | Either | 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 | Either | My Funded Futures: Every position is closed at 4:10 pm ET, so nothing can be held overnight or over a weekend. |
| 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 | Either | 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 | 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. |
