Best prop firms for US traders
Only firms whose own website indicates they accept US traders.
How this list works
How we rank: only firms whose own website indicates they accept US traders, by Transparency Index score, highest first; on equal scores, non-provisional scores come before provisional ones, then the lowest starting price, then A–Z.
Each row links the page we relied on; check the firm's terms before buying.
34 prop firms in our data have a page on their own website indicating that they accept US traders; the highest Transparency Index scores among them belong to Traderscale, City Traders Imperium and Upcomers. We list only those firms, and each row links the page we relied on. Some of those pages are terms or eligibility pages; others are payout or FAQ pages, so check the firm's terms before buying.
Of the 192 active firms we track, 24 say they do not accept US residents and 134 do not say either way on the pages we checked. We treat those as "Not confirmed" and leave them out; that does not mean they refuse US residents. Rules change, so check the firm's terms before you buy.
Checked against each firm's own website; last data check 11 October 2026. Where a firm's site does not state a value, we say so rather than guess.
How we rank: by Transparency Index score, 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.

What US traders should check
Accepted where you live

Futures or CFDs
14 of the firms below list futures. Some CFD platforms are not offered to US residents, so check which platform you would get.
Payouts and tax

Who runs the firm
Check the firm's legal entity and where it is based. Accepting US residents does not mean it is regulated in the US.
