The four firms I actually hold funded accounts with.

Nothing on this page I don't personally trade on.

Full transparency: if you use code ABHI, I earn a commission and you get a discount. Neither changes what I've written below — including the cons.

The firms

Lucid Trading

Up to 50% off

My top-rated firm, and the one I point beginners to first — three account types with the softest rules of the four.

Pro

LucidFlex has no daily loss limit and no consistency rule once funded — the least-stress path to a payout of any firm I use.

Con

LucidFlex caps payouts and scales you up from 2 minis; going uncapped (Pro or Direct) adds back a daily loss limit and a consistency rule on the funded account.

Cheapest eval starts at $70 (25K Flex). Code ABHI — up to 50% off.

Apex Trader Funding

Up to 90% off

Where I run my copy-trade fleet — the bulk of my 25+ funded accounts and $100K+ in payouts live here.

Pro

You keep 100% of profits and pay once — the 4.0 update killed the monthly rebills — and code ABHI stacks the deepest eval discounts of any firm I use.

Con

Funded accounts start small — a 50K opens at just 2 contracts and a $1,000 daily loss limit, and you trade up to a 4-contract max even though the eval let you use 6.

Cheapest eval starts at $19.70 (50K intraday). Code ABHI — up to 90% off.

MyFundedFutures

Up to 30% off

The fastest payouts of the bunch — I've pulled $26K+ in lifetime payouts here, including $16K in two days on the Rapid plan.

Pro

Rapid pays out daily at a 90/10 split — clear a $2,100 buffer and you can withdraw every 24 hours, the fastest cadence I run.

Con

Rapid uses intraday trailing and blocks news trading on sim-funded — spike then give it back and the trail has already moved up.

Rapid 50K from ~$110 one-time. Code ABHI — up to 30% off.

Before you buy any eval

01Do you have a strategy you've actually tested — not one you watched a video about yesterday?
02Do you know the firm's trailing drawdown rules? EOD trailing quietly ends most evals.
03Can you afford to fail the eval once without it hurting? Most people don't pass on the first try — plan for that.

If any answer is no, read the guides first. The firms will still be there next week.

Codes cost you nothing extra — the discount comes out of the firm's side, and it keeps this site free.
