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 The Trading Pit:
The Trading Pit was founded in 2021 and is registered in Liechtenstein (FL-0002.693.417-1), making it one of the few prop firms headquartered in an EU-adjacent jurisdiction. Under CEO Daniela Egli, the firm has scaled to over 10,000 active monthly accounts, recorded 450,000+ monthly trades, and paid out more than $16 million to funded traders.
The Trading Pit offers four tracks: CFD 1-Phase, CFD 2-Phase, Futures, and Stocks. CFD programs use MT4, MT5, and cTrader and cover forex, metals, indices, crypto, and US equities. The Futures program runs on Tradovate with access to CME, EUREX, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX markets. The Stocks program provides direct access to equity markets with $25K and $50K account sizes.
CFD programs use a static balance-based drawdown (calculated from initial balance). The Futures program uses a trailing drawdown model. Notably, Futures accounts feature a daily pause mechanism rather than a hard daily cut — when the daily drawdown limit is hit, the account is suspended for the remainder of that trading day rather than being terminated.
News trading is prohibited on CFD and Stocks programs with a 2-minute blackout window around major economic releases. The Futures program allows news trading. Expert Advisors are permitted but scalping under 1 minute, arbitrage, and signal copying across accounts are all prohibited. Overnight holding is allowed; cross-account hedging is not. Martingale strategies are banned.
CFD commissions are $5 per lot for forex, metals, and energies; 20% for crypto; 0% for US equities; and 20% for EU/UK equities.
CFD payouts are bi-weekly; Futures payouts are weekly. Payment methods include credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, crypto, and BinancePay. Payouts are made via bank wire, crypto, Binance, or Perfect Money. Maximum account allocation is $400,000 across all accounts.
