Here is our full independent review of FXIFY Futures:
FXIFY Futures Limited is the futures-dedicated arm of the FXIFY brand, launched in January 2025 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Separate from the main FXIFY CFD platform, FXIFY Futures focuses exclusively on CME-listed contracts tradeable through NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and TradingView. Despite being one of the newer futures prop firms, it has already distributed $35M+ in verified payouts — a strong output for a platform less than 18 months old.
Free Level 1 market data is included on all plans, and instant credential issuance means traders can be in the market within minutes of purchase. The maximum simulated capital ceiling is $750,000.
FXIFY Futures is built for futures traders who want clean programme structures, multiple platform choices, and the credibility of a firm backed by the established FXIFY ecosystem. Three platforms — NinjaTrader 8, Tradovate, and TradingView — cover the main futures trading environments without forcing traders into proprietary software.
The drawdown rules are strict by futures standards: 3–4% max drawdown on EOD (end-of-day) basis. Traders who are used to the dollar-based drawdowns typical of US futures firms will find FXIFY Futures more demanding. The trade-off is a cleaner, percentage-based framework that is consistent across account sizes.
All plans: free Level 1 market data included. First payout available from day 14, processed within 24–48 hours. Scaling ceiling: $750,000 in simulated capital.
Three platforms: NinjaTrader 8, Tradovate, TradingView. Instruments: CME-listed futures contracts. EOD (end-of-day) drawdown calculation — the daily loss limit resets at end of trading day rather than being a live intraday trailing figure. No maximum on trading days.
Drawdown of 3–4% max is among the tightest in the futures prop space — traders who run high-variance intraday strategies should size conservatively on this platform.
FXIFY Futures earns a 7.3 BestProp score. The FXIFY brand backing, Dublin HQ, $35M+ paid out in under 18 months, and three strong futures platform options (including TradingView) are solid foundations. The Expert Plan’s 90% default split — upgradeable to 100% with zero activation fees — is competitive. Free Level 1 data and instant credential issuance remove common friction points.
The 3–4% EOD max drawdown is the most restrictive limit across all futures firms we have reviewed and will not suit high-variance trading styles. Account size range ($50K–$150K base) is limited compared to firms offering $25K entry points or $400K+ ceilings. For disciplined futures traders who can operate within tight drawdown parameters and want a credible EU-based firm, FXIFY Futures is a strong option.
Here is our full independent review of FTUK:
FTUK (Funded Traders United Kingdom) was founded in December 2021 and has since funded over 30,000 traders globally, paying out $12M+. The firm offers three core evaluation tracks plus a Pay After You Pass Flex model and a newer Futures program. FTUK is notable for broad platform support — MT5, Match-Trader, TradeLocker, and their proprietary FTUK XT platform — though MT5 is unavailable for US-based traders.
Instant Funding provides immediate funded access with no profit target and a trailing drawdown of 6%. The 1-Step Evaluation requires a 10% profit target with an 8% trailing drawdown. The 2-Step Evaluation uses 10%/5% phase targets and an 8% static (balance-based) drawdown. The Flex Challenge allows traders to begin an evaluation at no upfront cost, paying only after passing — a meaningful advantage for risk-averse traders.
Instant Funding and 1-Step accounts use trailing drawdown, which follows equity upward and creates a moving floor. 2-Step accounts use static drawdown based on the initial account balance. News trading is prohibited during all evaluation phases but is permitted on funded accounts. There are no profit targets on funded accounts — traders can manage their funded capital freely.
Martingale, tick scalping, latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, hedge arbitrage, and cross-account hedging are all prohibited. HFT is banned. Manual trading strategies are fully supported. Weekend and overnight holding are permitted.
Instant-funded accounts pay on demand. Evaluation-funded accounts have a 14-day waiting period before the first payout. Payments are made via Rise or USDT (TRC20 crypto). FTUK offers scaling potential up to $6.4M for top-performing funded traders.
