Topstep Review: Is a Futures Combine Better Than a Forex Prop Firm?

Prop Trading FirmsTested

A serious, rules-first route to a funded account for traders who can work in CME futures instead of forex CFDs. Fees are modest at $49 to $199 a month, the 90% split is strong, and currency and gold contracts are all available. The end-of-day trailing loss limit is unforgiving, and no retail forex is allowed. Skip it if you must trade spot pairs or hold positions through wide swings.

Best for Futures-minded traders of currency and gold contracts who want a rules-based funded path

7.9/10

Price: Trading Combine from $49/mo
Maker: Topstep LLC
Combine price, Standard: $49 (50K), $99 (100K), $199 (150K) a month

The5ers review: is its scaling plan the best route to a big funded forex account?

Prop Trading FirmsTested

The5ers suits a patient, low-risk forex trader who cares more about a long scaling ladder than a fast payday. Fees are one-time, payouts come every two weeks and the firm has operated since 2016. The catch is a 50% starting profit split, a tight 6% total loss limit and rules on news and weekend holding. If you want big leverage or a quick 80% split from day one, choose another firm.

Best for Patient forex traders who want a long scaling path, not a fast payout

7.8/10

Price: One-time program fee, varies by account size
Maker: The5ers

FundedNext review: does profit sharing during the challenge beat FTMO for consistent traders?

Prop Trading FirmsTested

FundedNext is cheaper than FTMO at most sizes, pays a share of evaluation profit, allows news trading and offers a choice of one-step, two-step and lite models. The limits are standard: 5% daily and 10% maximum loss. It is good value for a consistent trader. It is poor value for anyone who expects to pass on luck.

Best for Consistent forex traders who want a cheaper, flexible challenge

7.7/10

Price: One-time challenge fee, varies by account size
Maker: FundedNext
Stellar 1-Step: 10% target, 5% daily loss, 10% max loss, 80% split

FundingPips review: cheap challenges, but are the payouts reliable enough?

Prop Trading FirmsTested

FundingPips is one of the better-value prop firms: low fees, five models, static drawdown on the main two-step route and a published Tuesday payout cycle. The catch is in the small print. Zero has a trailing drawdown and news limits, some models restrict how a single trade can drive profit, and US traders are excluded. Take the 2-Step Standard if you trade with discipline, and skip Zero if you are impatient.

Best for Disciplined non-US forex traders who want low entry fees and weekly payout options

7.6/10

Price: One-time challenge fee, varies by account size
Maker: FundingPips
Models: Zero, 1-Step Flex, 2-Step Standard, 2-Step Flex, 2-Step Pro

FTMO review: is the original prop firm still worth its higher challenge fee?

Prop Trading FirmsTested

FTMO is the most established name in forex prop trading, with clear rules, a fee refunded on the first profit split and fast payouts by industry standards. It is also dearer than most copycats, and every dollar of the account is simulated. Choose it if you already trade with discipline and value reputation, and skip it if you want the cheapest attempt.

Best for Disciplined forex traders who value a proven prop firm over the lowest fee

7.5/10

Price: Challenge from €155 (10k account)
Maker: FTMO
Challenge fee, 10k account: From €155 (third-party listings of $183 on some plans)

E8 Markets review: do its own terminal and flexible drawdown help a forex trader?

Prop Trading FirmsTested

E8 is a fair, cheap-to-enter prop firm whose flexible drawdown is real: E8 One's loss level locks once you bank profit, and Pro is fully static. But its own terminal is for perpetual futures only, so a forex trader ends up on TradeLocker, Match-Trader, cTrader or MT5 like everywhere else. Skip it if you want a fast first payout on a small account.

Best for Forex traders who want to choose their drawdown style

7.1/10

Price: One-time fee from $48 (5K) to $1,998 (500K)
Maker: E8 Markets
Account types (forex): E8 One, E8 Pro, E8 Signature
