$25K Futures Prop Firm Accounts Compared

A $25K futures account is the cheapest way into a funded futures account, built for micros and one or two minis. We list 92 $25K evaluations from 31 futures firms, read from each firm's own site.

The cheapest one-time evaluation is $40 at DayTraders.com (Static), and the middle price is $145. The drawdown on a $25K account is small in dollars, often $1,000 to $1,500, so one bad trade can end it. Check how the drawdown is measured before you choose.

Each firm’s own price today, before any code, read from its site. A struck-through price is the firm’s usual price during a sale. Programs with a fee to pay after you pass are placed by their total cost. Tick Compare on up to four programs to see their rules side by side.
