Funded Stock Trading Accounts: What Exists in 2026

The short answer

No prop firm in the 31-firm database offers a funded cash equities account. Traders who want funded stock exposure have two routes: stock CFDs at four CFD firms, or equity index futures at every futures firm.

  • ›Stock CFDs: FTMO, FXIFY, Goat Funded Trader and Crypto Fund Trader list single-name stocks as CFDs.
  • ›Index futures: ES, NQ and their micros at all 12 futures firms, from $19.90 evaluations.
  • ›What is missing: real share ownership, dividends and stock-specific margin; none exist in funded form today.

What "funded stock trading" means in practice

"Funded stock trading" rarely means what it sounds like. No firm in the 31-firm PropFirmTrading database gives a trader a funded cash equities account. Two adjacent products exist instead.

  • ›Stock CFDs at four CFD firms. FTMO, FXIFY, Goat Funded Trader and Crypto Fund Trader all list Stocks among their tradable assets. These cover Apple, Tesla and Nvidia-style single names in contract-for-difference form.
  • ›Equity-index futures at every futures firm, meaning ES/NQ/RTY and their micros at Topstep, Apex, Tradeify and the rest. For traders whose "stock trading" is index exposure, this is the deeper and cheaper market.

Choosing among the stock-CFD firms

  • ›FTMO (★4.8) has the strongest all-round rules (10% static drawdown, no consistency) and the longest record. Stocks trade alongside FX, indices and metals on the same account.
  • ›FXIFY has the most program variety (1/2/3-phase plus instants) with stocks in the asset list. The static-drawdown variants suit single-name volatility. The current FXIFY discount code and prices are on the FXIFY discount page.
  • ›Goat Funded Trader offers stocks plus the largest discount in the group right now (50% off the first challenge).
  • ›Crypto Fund Trader carries a broad equity CFD list on its 500+ instrument platform.

Stock-specific fine print matters. Single names gap overnight, meaning the price jumps between one close and the next open. Weekend and news-holding rules that seem irrelevant on EURUSD decide outcomes on earnings names.

Traders should check each firm's rules tab, then line them up in compare.

The index-futures route

For index traders, funded futures accounts offer tighter spreads, defined sessions and evaluations from $19.90. The futures guide covers how their trailing drawdowns behave. This is the main adjustment for anyone arriving from equities.
