Traders Launch review

Rules and prices checked on 1 October 2026 against Traders Launch’s own website and terms.

Traders Launch is a futures prop firm run by Traders Launch LLC from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and it also sells separate crypto evaluations. Every futures account is a one step evaluation bought for a single fee, with no activation fee or monthly charge. The standard accounts come in sizes of $100,000, $200,000 and $300,000, trade from 6:00pm to 4:00pm ET the following day and ask for profit targets of $2,000, $4,000 and $6,000. Traders choose a 60% or 80% profit split at purchase, with list prices of $99 to $399 on the 60% plan and $159 to $599 on the 80% plan. Legacy NYC accounts, limited to 9:30am to 4:00pm ET, remain on sale from $49 with a 55% or 80% split, and a limited TL Early Access range offers $25,000 to $100,000 accounts with a static drawdown and no buffer. Drawdown on the main accounts is end of day trailing and locks at the starting balance, and there is no daily loss limit. The evaluation needs at least three trading days, a best day no larger than 40% of total profit and one trade a week, with 60 days to pass. Once Simfunded, there is no consistency rule and payouts can be requested daily once the account is more than 1% in profit. Trading runs on TradingView, Volumetrica and Quantower.

Suits

Futures day traders with tight risk control who want a single evaluation step, no daily loss limit and the option to request payouts daily once funded.

Less suited to

Traders Launch may not suit you if you need more than 1% of drawdown room on a standard account or want an 80% split at the lowest entry price.

Pros

  • Every futures account is a single step evaluation with one fee and no activation or monthly charges.
  • Drawdown is calculated at the end of each day and locks at the starting balance, and there is no daily loss limit.
  • Payouts can be requested daily once a funded account is more than 1% in profit, with no payout cap.
  • There is no consistency rule once the account is funded.
  • Commission is a flat $0.50 per contract per side.

Cons

  • The maximum drawdown on standard accounts is 1% of the account size, such as $1,000 on $100,000.
  • The lower priced plans pay a 60% split, or 55% on Legacy NYC accounts.
  • The evaluation has a 40% best day rule, a 60 day limit and a requirement to trade at least once a week.
  • News trading, automated strategies and holding beyond the session are not addressed in the published rules.
  • Refunds are not offered except in cases of fraud.

Verdict

Traders Launch keeps its futures offer simple. There is one evaluation step, a single fee, no activation charge and an end of day drawdown that stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance. After a buffer equal to 1% of the account on the standard sizes, traders can request payouts on any day, with crypto and ACH transfers processed every 24 hours and no cap on withdrawals. The absence of a funded consistency rule and a daily loss limit leaves room for traders whose profits arrive in uneven bursts.

The trade offs sit mainly in the split and the size of the drawdown. The cheaper plans pay 60%, or 55% on Legacy NYC, and moving to 80% raises the price of a $100,000 account from $99 to $159. The maximum loss on every standard size is 1% of the account, so a $100,000 account has $1,000 of room, and starting position sizes are small until the account grows. The evaluation also carries a 40% best day rule, a 60 day limit and a requirement to trade at least once a week. Hedging is banned, and accounts where many trades close within two seconds can be paused for review. On TL Early Access, the 60% and 80% plans flatten positions once a daily earnings limit is reached.

The published rules do not cover news trading, automated strategies or holding positions beyond the session, so traders who rely on these should confirm them with support before buying. Refunds are only offered in cases of fraud. Trustpilot shows a rating of 4.7 from 80 reviews. The firm suits futures day traders with tight risk control who value daily payouts and a single step over a higher split.
