How this list works

How we rank: firms that meet this page's criterion in our verified data, sorted by MyPropGenius rating (Transparency Index score ÷ 20), highest first; equal ratings list non-provisional ratings first, then A–Z; unrated firms come last.

This page lists firms that meet three conditions in our verified data: a MyPropGenius rating in the Good band or better (3.0★ or higher, which is a Transparency Index score of 60 or more), a rating that is not provisional, and at least one evaluation with no time limit, as stated on the firm's own website. A firm that is open about how it works, and an evaluation without a deadline, both take pressure off a new trader.

Beyond these conditions, compare the profit target (lower is easier while you are learning), the drawdown rules (a static drawdown does not move up with your balance, so it is usually easier to track than a trailing one) and the fee. The no-time-limit condition means at least one of the firm's programmes has no time limit, not necessarily all of them, so check the programme you plan to buy.

A smaller account size keeps the challenge fee down, so a failed attempt costs less while you refine your strategy. Once you trade consistently, you can move to a larger account or, where the firm offers one, use its scaling plan.

How we rank: by MyPropGenius rating (Transparency Index score ÷ 20), highest first. Links marked Ad are affiliate links — we earn a commission if you buy through them; it never changes a firm's score or rank.
