Futures prop firm challenges

CME futures prop firms are their own category: the dominant players are Topstep (32 markets, 10 winning days to pass, end-of-day drawdown), Apex Trader Funding (46 markets, single-step, trailing intraday drawdown — stricter), My Funded Futures (MFFU, scaling up to $600K), and Elite Trader Funding (budget 1-step starting at $75). None of these operate on forex — if you want futures funding, these are the only verified options we track.

The key variable is drawdown type: end-of-day gives breathing room intraday, trailing intraday is strict but rewarded with a lower fee and scaling. Pick based on your style, not on marketing.
