The review pages explain what sits behind each score
Which firm fits which trader
A reading of the data for three common situations. The rulebook that fits the trader's style matters more than any single figure.
A first challenge on a small budget
New to prop firms and paying to learn a rulebook at the lowest cost.
The data favours
The5ers
- The entry ticket is $19 at The5ers against $21.75 at FundingPips.
- Its cheapest program also allows 0.77 of drawdown per 1 of target, so a learner has more room.
- No consistency rule applies on that program, which removes one common cause of a failed first account.
A consistent trader scaling up
Has passed evaluations before and cares about the share of profit kept and the ceiling on funding.
The data favours
The5ers
- The largest account is $250K at The5ers, so a consistent trader has further to scale.
A swing trader holding for days
Uses wider stops and needs room for positions to move against the entry before they work.
The data favours
The5ers
- At 100K, The5ers allows 0.67 of drawdown per 1 of profit target and FundingPips allows 0.50.
- The drawdown is static, so open profit does not raise the floor while a position runs.
