Easiest Prop Firms to Pass
Last updated 2026-10-27
This ranking rewards each firm's friendliest eval, with a drawdown that stays put or only trails at the close, more drawdown for the profit target, a light or no consistency rule, more time and fewer minimum days.
Most evals on this list have no time limit at all, and the 2 that do give you 30 days or more, so the thing making prop firm evaluations hard was never time. It is drawdown: how much the firm gives you relative to the profit target it asks for, what style of drawdown is chasing you while you work, and whether a consistency rule forces you to earn it slowly. Those belong to the eval, not the firm. The same firm can sell a forgiving eval and a brutal one from the same pricing page, so ranking the brand name tells you nothing until you know which eval you are buying. This list ranks each firm by its single most pass-friendly eval, names that eval right on the card, and shows you exactly which rules earned the spot.
Quick Picks by Use Case
Easy means different things depending on what keeps failing you, so pick the shortcut that matches your actual problem.
Best Drawdown for the Profit TargetBulenox
As much drawdown as the profit target asks you to earn, which no ranked eval here beats, with no consistency rule policing how you get there. Choose the end-of-day option deliberately at checkout, because the other option is an intraday trailing drawdown.
If Consistency Rules Keep Catching YouFunded Futures Family
Its Prime and Premier Plus evals carry no consistency rule, and Premier Plus accounts bought before September 9, 2026 carry none on the funded side either. If your eval attempts die because one good day was too good, start here.
Best If You Cannot Trade Every DayEarn2Trade
No time limit and no minimum trading days at all, so the eval waits for you instead of the other way around. Trade when you are sharp, sit out when you are not, and take as long as the pass takes.
If You Would Rather Skip the Test Entirely
Some firms sell you a funded account outright with no eval at all. Our instant funding prop firms page covers those accounts and the trade-offs you accept for taking one, because skipping the test is never free.

TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $145 to $535
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: Weekly
- 100% profit split
Bulenox gives you a choice of drawdown style before you ever pay. Its end-of-day option has a max drawdown that matches the full profit target, which no ranked eval here beats, with no consistency rule policing how you earn it. Pick on purpose, because the other option is an intraday trailing drawdown, and the easy one is not the default for everybody.

- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: On demand
- 80% profit split
One step, end-of-day trailing, and more drawdown relative to the profit target than almost anything else ranked, which is why its eval has the reputation it does. The catch is real, though: a strict consistency rule sits on the eval itself, so a single monster day cannot carry you through. You will pass by trading well repeatedly, not by trading big once.

- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: On demand
- 90% profit split
The ranked eval here is unusually permissive: solid drawdown under an end-of-day trail, with no consistency rule on the eval itself. Premier Plus accounts bought before September 9, 2026 drop the rule from the funded side too, while newer ones carry a 40% funded check. If you looked at this firm a while ago and remember stricter terms, you were looking at the older plans, and the difference between the old plans and the new is the whole story here.

63/ 100Easiest Eval: Flex 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $100 to $840
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: After a set number of days
- 90% profit split
Generous drawdown, an end-of-day trail, and only a light consistency check, so the rules rank it high for good reason. Know one thing before you speed-run it: a rule on how long you must hold a trade means the firm is grading how you make the money, not just how much. The traders who trip it are almost always the ones who never read it.

BluSky Trading
71/ 100Easiest Eval: Propel 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $59 to $799
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing, Static
- How Often You Can Get Paid: Daily
- 90% profit split
The Propel plan offers real drawdown under an end-of-day trail, and the eval rules are friendlier than the firm's rule-heavy reputation suggests. It sits where it sits partly because of what is not documented: we could not confirm a minimum trading days figure, and this list doesn't credit an undocumented minimum as zero. What we can verify ranks well.

TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $99 to $796
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: On demand
- 90% profit split
Growth is the calm way through: there is no time limit, no consistency rule checking your daily profit, and the one-time purchase means no rebill lands mid-attempt to pressure the pace. Standard drawdown under an end-of-day trail does the rest. Evals get failed by pressure as often as by rules, and this one removes most of the pressure on purpose.

Alpha Futures
72/ 100Easiest Eval: Zero 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $89 to $859
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: On demand
- 90% profit split
The Zero plan earns its name twice over, and the eval side is the half people miss: no consistency rule and a minimal days requirement on top of standard drawdown. It is built to be the fastest reasonable way to get funded at this firm, and as long as you respect the daily loss limit while you do it, it trades like one.
- #9
MyFundedFutures
69/ 100Easiest Eval: 25K Builder
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $105 to $477
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: Varies by plan
- 80% profit split
The forgiving detail here is what the 25K Builder leaves out: no daily loss limit at all, no eval consistency rule, and no time limit, so the only limit you manage is the $1,000 end-of-day trailing drawdown. Add a one-day minimum and this is an eval you can pass in a single good session without a second rule to trip on.

Apex Trader Funding
70/ 100Easiest Eval: 25K EOD
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $199 to $2,290
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: Weekly
- 100% profit split
A simple structure: no consistency rule on the eval, a single qualifying day standard, and straightforward drawdown under an end-of-day trail. It also carries a time limit, a month to finish, which for most traders is a formality and for slow-building swing styles is the one constraint worth planning around.
- #11
Topstep
73/ 100Easiest Eval: 50K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $49 to $229
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: After a set number of days
- 90% profit split
Standard drawdown, a loose consistency check, and no minimum days, so the eval is genuinely not where Topstep is hard, whatever the brand's serious reputation suggests. The demands arrive on the funded side, in the scaling and payout structure, which is worth knowing before you celebrate the pass as if it were the finish line.
- #12
TradeDay
72/ 100Easiest Eval: 25K Fast Pass EOD
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $100 to $500
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: On demand
- 50% profit split
A loose consistency check and a drawdown style you choose at checkout, which rewards traders who know which style suits them and costs the ones who click the default. The eval itself is fair and readable, and picking the end-of-day option is most of what you can do to make it easier.

Phidias Propfirm
60/ 100Easiest Eval: Premium 50K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $88 to $1,125
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Static
- How Often You Can Get Paid: After a set number of days
- 75% profit split
The surprise entry, because the account everyone associates with this firm, the famous cheap static one, is not its easiest eval. That account's drawdown is tight for its profit target, and the Premium eval simply has a lower target-to-drawdown ratio under an end-of-day trail. If you came here planning to buy the cheap one for an easy pass, the math disagrees with you.

18th Street Trading
61/ 100Easiest Eval: 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $265 to $1,595
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: After a set number of days
- 90% profit split
Each phase has an end-of-day trailing drawdown that locks at breakeven once you are up 5%, no daily loss limit and a consistency rule that only delays a pass, so the 1.8:1 ratio plays much closer to 1:1. Every pass pays you, but a fail sends you back to Phase 1.

Leeloo Trading
60/ 100Easiest Eval: Aspire 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $250 to $850
- Drawdown: Intraday trailing
- How Often You Can Get Paid: Monthly
- 100% profit split
Leeloo sits last among ranked firms for one dominant reason: its evals run an intraday trailing drawdown, the style that follows your open profit tick by tick, and this list ranks that style below the rest on purpose. The drawdown looks enormous on paper, and a strict consistency rule plus a long minimum-days requirement sit on top of it. On-paper generous, in-practice the hardest style there is.
How We Ranked This List
There is no single pass-difficulty score, so this page's ranking is based on a set order of checks, run on each firm's most pass-friendly standard eval. Instant funding accounts are left out, since there is nothing to pass. First, the drawdown style: static and end-of-day trailing evals rank above intraday trailing ones. An intraday trail that follows your open profit is the rule that fails more evals than any other, and no amount of drawdown fully makes up for it. Second, the size of the drawdown: the target-to-drawdown ratio, the profit target next to the max drawdown, with a lower ratio ranking higher. Third, the eval-side consistency rule: none above loose above strict. Fourth, time: no time limit above any time limit. Fifth, minimum trading days, fewer ranking higher, and where a firm doesn't document a minimum we do not credit it with having none. Ties break on our overall score, which rates the firm as a whole. The full inputs come from each firm's published eval terms, and the order is worked out again when that data changes. If a firm's eval cannot be ranked this way at all, it appears below the ranked list without a rank instead of getting one invented for it. BluSky's stocks evals sit outside this futures ranking and are left out of it.
Easy on Paper vs Easy in Practice
Read enough eval rules and you learn that the numbers on the pricing page are the least of it. Two evals with identical targets and identical drawdowns can be a world apart in practice, because the drawdown style decides how that drawdown actually behaves. A static drawdown never moves, so every dollar of drawdown you start with is drawdown you keep. An end-of-day trail moves up only at the close, so you can let a winner breathe intraday without your drawdown line chasing it. An intraday trail follows your open profit up in real time, which means your best trades shrink your drawdown at the exact moment they should be building it. That one rule quietly ends more evals than any blown stop ever has. Consistency rules are the other practice-versus-paper gap: a strict one turns a two-day pass into a two-week pass by design, which is not necessarily bad, but it is a different product than the sprint you thought you bought. So when you compare evals, compare them in this order: drawdown style first, drawdown size second, consistency third, time limit last. That is the order this page ranks in, and it is the order the rules actually matter in.
Passing Is Not the Same as Getting Paid
Now the part that is easy to miss. An eval only tests whether you can hit a target inside the rules once. The funded account is where the rules change, sometimes literally: consistency checks that appear at the payout stage, payout buffers you must build before the first withdrawal, and drawdown styles that switch on you after the pass. A firm can rank high on this page and still run a demanding funded side, and several do. That is not a contradiction, it is two different questions, and this site keeps them separate on purpose. This page ranks the eval, our no consistency rule page maps the funded account rules, and every firm's review covers everything from checkout to payout. Read the funded terms before you buy the eval, not after you pass it, because the eval only gets you in and the funded rules are what you live with.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the easiest prop firm to pass?
The firm at the top of the list above is the current answer. The order is worked out again when firm data changes, so we do not type in a name that could be out of date by the time you read it. The answer that lasts: the easiest evals share an end-of-day or static drawdown, a big max drawdown relative to the profit target, and no consistency rule. Any eval with all three will sit near the top whenever you are reading this.
Which prop firms let you pass in one day?
Several ranked firms publish a one-day or near-one-day minimum, and each firm's review lists the minimum for every account it sells. Whether you should want to is a different matter. A one-day pass usually requires concentrated risk, some firms block it with consistency rules on purpose, and the firms that allow it often apply their real scrutiny at the funded stage instead. Fast in is real. Just know what you are fast into.
Which prop firm is easiest for beginners?
For a beginner the easiest eval is the one that punishes mistakes lightly. That means end-of-day drawdown over intraday, no time limit over a deadline, and either no consistency rule or a loose one that stops you from betting the whole target on one trade. As a beginner you should not be doing that anyway. The top of this list fits that description, and honestly, so does spending longer on a demo before paying anyone for an eval at all.
Does easiest to pass mean easiest to get paid?
No, and this is the most expensive assumption in prop trading. The eval and the funded account have separate rules, and some firms run a friendly eval into a demanding funded side: payout-stage consistency checks, payout buffers, or a drawdown style that switches after the pass. Check this page against our no consistency rule page and the payout sections of the reviews before you decide easy in means easy out.
Why do so many people fail prop firm evaluations?
Mostly for reasons that have nothing to do with the target. It is an intraday trailing drawdown they did not understand, a consistency rule they read after breaking it, or position sizing that treated the drawdown as risk capital instead of a hard limit. The rules this page ranks on are the same rules that fail people, which is exactly why we rank on them instead of on the marketing.
