Prop Firm Pass Rates and Payout Statistics
Most prop firms do not publish how many traders pass their evaluations or get paid. The figures below come from the firms that do, taken from each firm’s own website in September 2026. Each firm measures in its own way and over its own period, so the numbers are a guide to how demanding each firm is rather than a strict comparison.
Evaluation pass rates
| Firm | Published figure | Period | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Topstep | 16.8% of Trading Combines completed | 2025 | Topstep |
| Tradeify | 17.2% of evaluation accounts on Growth, Advanced and Select completed | August 2025 to July 2026 | Tradeify |
| My Funded Futures | 19.97% of evaluation participants completed the objectives | As published in September 2026 | My Funded Futures |
| Hola Prime | 35% of customers who traded an evaluation passed | November 2024 to May 2025 | Hola Prime |
| TradeDay | 36% evaluation pass rate | January to June 2026 | TradeDay |
| Take Profit Trader | 36.22% of trading tests passed | 2025 | Take Profit Trader |
How many funded traders get paid
| Firm | Published figure | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Topstep | 33.3% of participants who reached the funded level received a payout | 2025 |
| Tradeify | 28.5% of participants who reached the funded level received a payout | August 2025 to July 2026 |
| My Funded Futures | 39.2% of traders who reached the simulated funded stage earned at least one payout | As published in September 2026 |
Total rewards paid
- FTMO reports more than $650 million paid in rewards since it began evaluating traders in 2015 (FTMO).
- FXIFY states it has paid out more than $40 million (FXIFY).
These totals are the firms’ own figures. Neither is broken down by year or by the number of traders paid.
What the figures mean
Among the six firms that publish a pass rate, between about one in six and a little over one in three evaluations were passed. Passing is only the first step. At the three futures firms that publish payout figures, between 28.5% and 39.2% of traders who reached the funded stage received at least one payout.
Put together for one firm, the numbers show how narrow the path is. Of 100 traders who started a Topstep Trading Combine in 2025, the published figures suggest about 17 completed it, and about a third of traders at the funded level were paid, which would be around 6 of the original 100.
Pass rates reflect the rules as much as trader skill. End of day drawdown, the absence of a daily loss limit and generous time limits all leave more room than intraday trailing drawdown and tight daily limits. The periods also differ, so a full year at one firm is not directly comparable with half a year at another.
How to use these figures
- Budget for more than one attempt. Prop firm resets and free retries explains what a second try costs at different firms.
- Read the payout terms as closely as the evaluation rules. Why prop firm payouts are denied and how long the first payout takes cover the common problems.
- Size trades to stay well inside the loss limits. The drawdown calculator shows how much room an account has left.
- Compare the rules behind the numbers on the comparison table, and read why traders fail prop firm challenges.
Figures are added as more firms publish them. The prop firm status tracker lists firms that have closed or changed hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage of traders pass a prop firm challenge?
Among the firms that publish a figure, pass rates range from 16.8% of Trading Combines at Topstep in 2025 to 36.22% of trading tests at Take Profit Trader in 2025. Most firms do not publish a pass rate at all, and each firm measures over its own period, so these figures are a guide rather than an industry average.
Do prop firms really pay traders?
Firms that publish figures show that some traders are paid. FTMO reports more than $650 million paid in rewards since 2015 and FXIFY more than $40 million. At Topstep, Tradeify and My Funded Futures, between 28.5% and 39.2% of traders who reached the funded stage received at least one payout.
Why do so many traders fail prop firm evaluations?
At most firms an account only fails when a loss limit is breached, because many firms set no time limit for reaching the target. Oversized positions, trading through high impact news and trying to win back a losing day quickly are common ways to breach a limit. Intraday trailing drawdown and tight daily limits also leave little room for a normal losing run.
Can pass rates from different firms be compared directly?
Only loosely. Firms measure over different periods, count different programs and define a pass in their own way, for example as completing an evaluation or passing a test. A higher pass rate can reflect looser rules rather than better traders, so compare the rules behind each figure as well as the number itself.
