Easiest Prop Firms to Pass
Last updated 2026-08-03
Most evals on this list have no clock at all, and the one that does gives you 30 days, so the thing making prop firm evaluations hard was never time. It is room: how much drawdown 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 are tier properties, not firm properties, which is the thing almost every easiest-to-pass list gets wrong. 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 door you are walking through. This list ranks each firm by its single most pass-friendly evaluation, names that path right on the card, and shows you exactly which mechanics earned the position. One honest warning before you read it: easiest to pass and easiest to get paid are different questions, and this page only answers the first one.
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 room to breatheBulenox
The most generous drawdown room of any ranked eval here relative to what it asks you to earn, with no consistency rule policing how you get there. Choose the end-of-day option deliberately at checkout, because the alternative is graded differently on purpose.
Best if consistency rules keep catching youFunded Futures Family
The Premier Plus family runs with no consistency rule anywhere on the path, eval or funded, which almost nothing else on this roster will sell you. If your eval attempts die because one good day was too good, this is the door.
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.
Best if you would rather skip the test entirely
Some firms sell you a funded account outright with no evaluation at all. Our instant funding prop firms page covers that path and the trade-offs you accept for taking it, because skipping the test is never free.
The Ranked List
- #1
Bulenox
69/ 100Easiest path: 25K EOD
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $145 to $535
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: Weekly
- 100 percent split
Bulenox gives you a choice of drawdown style before you ever pay, and its end-of-day option is the roomiest ranked eval here, drawdown room that matches the full profit target with no consistency rule policing how you earn it. Pick the door deliberately, because the two options are graded differently by design, and the easy one is not the default for everybody.
- #2
Take Profit Trader
75/ 100Easiest path: 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $150 to $360
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 80 percent split
One step, end-of-day trailing, and more room relative to the 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.
- #3
Earn2Trade
71/ 100Easiest path: TCP25
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $150 to $550
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: Weekly
- 80 percent split
No clock and no minimum days at all, which makes this the schedule-freedom pick: trade when you are sharp, sit out when you are not, and let the pass take as long as it takes. The room is generous, a consistency rule does apply, and the structured program around the eval means you are rarely guessing what the rule you just broke actually was.
- #4
Funded Futures Family
69/ 100Easiest path: 25K Prime
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $79 to $734
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 90 percent split
The ranked path here runs unusually permissive, solid room under an end-of-day trail with no consistency rule on the eval itself, and the Premier Plus family drops the rule from the funded side too, which almost nothing else here will sell you. If you looked at this firm a while ago and remember stricter terms, you were looking at the older lines, and the difference between the generations is the whole story here.
- #5
Lucid Trading
65/ 100Easiest path: Flex 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $100 to $840
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: Cycle-based
- 90 percent split
Generous room, an end-of-day trail, and only a light consistency check, so the mechanics rank it deservedly high. Know one rule before you speed-run it: a minimum hold-time requirement on trades means the firm is grading how you make the money, not just how much, and the traders who trip it are almost always the ones who never read it.
- #6
BluSky Trading
70/ 100Easiest path: Propel 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $59 to $749
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Static
- Payout cadence: Daily
- 90 percent split
The Propel line offers real room under an end-of-day trail, and the eval mechanics 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 does not credit an undocumented minimum as zero. What we can verify ranks well.
- #7
Tradeify
79/ 100Easiest path: Growth 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $99 to $796
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 90 percent split
Growth is the calm way through: nothing here is timing you, nothing is auditing your daily profit distribution, and the one-time purchase means no rebill lands mid-attempt to pressure the pace. Standard room 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.
- #8
Alpha Futures
74/ 100Easiest path: Zero 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $79 to $859
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 90 percent 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 room. It is built to be the fastest reasonable route through this firm's funnel, and as long as you respect the daily limit while you do it, it trades like one.
- #9
MyFundedFutures
70/ 100Easiest path: 25K Builder
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $105 to $477
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: Varies by plan
- 80 percent split
The forgiving detail here is what the 25K Builder leaves out: no daily loss limit at all, no eval consistency rule, and no clock, so the only line you manage is the 1,000 dollar end-of-day trail. 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.
- #10
Apex Trader Funding
70/ 100Easiest path: 25K EOD
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $199 to $2,290
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: Weekly
- 100 percent split
The cleanest simple structure ranked: no consistency rule on the eval, a single qualifying day standard, and straightforward room under an end-of-day trail. It is also the only ranked eval carrying an actual clock, 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
75/ 100Easiest path: 50K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $49 to $229
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing
- Payout cadence: Cycle-based
- 90 percent split
Standard room, 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
71/ 100Easiest path: 50K Fast Pass EOD
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $131 to $500
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: On demand
- 50 percent split
Zero minimum days, a loose consistency check, and a drawdown style you choose at checkout, which rewards traders who know which style suits them and quietly punishes the ones who click the default. The eval itself is fair and readable, and picking the end-of-day path is most of the optimization available here.
- #13
Phidias Propfirm
60/ 100Easiest path: Premium 50K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $88 to $1,125
- Drawdown: End-of-day trailing, Static
- Payout cadence: Cycle-based
- 75 percent split
The surprise entry, because the account everyone associates with this firm, the famous cheap static one, is not its easiest door. That account's floor is tight for its target, and the Premium eval simply offers more room per dollar of target 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.
- #14
Leeloo Trading
60/ 100Easiest path: Aspire 25K
TrustCostPayoutRules- Evals from $250 to $850
- Drawdown: Intraday trailing
- Payout cadence: Monthly
- 100 percent 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 buckets that style below the field on purpose. The room looks enormous on paper and a strict consistency rule plus a long minimum-days runway 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 ranks on a stated key, computed per firm from its most pass-friendly standard evaluation, instant-funded products excluded since there is nothing to pass. First, the drawdown style: static and end-of-day trailing evals rank above intraday trailing ones, because an intraday trail that follows your open profit is the mechanic that fails more evals than any other, and no amount of room fully compensates for it. Second, the room itself: the maximum drawdown measured against the profit target, more room per dollar of target ranking higher. Third, the eval-side consistency rule: none above loose above strict. Fourth, the clock: no time limit above any time limit. Fifth, minimum trading days, fewer ranking higher, and where a firm does not document a minimum we do not credit it with having none. Ties break on the overall composite. The full inputs come from each firm's published tier data, the order recomputes when that data changes, and if a firm's eval structure cannot be read into this key at all, it appears below the ranked list without a rank instead of getting one invented for it. BluSky's stocks evaluations sit outside this futures ranking and are excluded from its key.
Easy on Paper vs Easy in Practice
Read enough eval rulebooks 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 the room actually behaves. A static floor never moves, so every dollar of room you start with is room you keep. An end-of-day trail moves up only at the close, so you can let a winner breathe intraday without your floor chasing it. An intraday trail ratchets up with your open profit in real time, which means your best trades shrink your cushion at the exact moment they should be building it, and that one mechanic 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, room second, consistency third, clock last. That is the order this page ranks in, and it is the order the mechanics actually matter in.
Passing Is Not the Same as Getting Paid
Now the part the easy-eval marketing leaves out. 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, 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 entrance, our no consistency rule page maps the funded-stage rulebooks, and every firm's review covers the full path from checkout to payout. Read the funded terms before you buy the eval, not after you pass it, because the eval is the door and you are choosing the room.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the easiest prop firm to pass?
By the stated key this page ranks on, the top of the list above is the current answer, and the order recomputes when firm data changes, so we will not hardcode a name that could be stale by the time you read it. The more durable answer: the easiest evals share an end-of-day or static drawdown, big room relative to the target, and no consistency rule, and 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 gate 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 most gently, which means end-of-day drawdown over intraday, no clock over a deadline, and either no consistency rule or a loose one that stops you from betting the whole target on one trade, which as a beginner you should not be doing 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 are separate rulebooks, and some firms run a friendly eval into a demanding funded side, payout-stage consistency checks, withdrawal buffers, or a drawdown style that switches after the pass. Rank 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: 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 floor. The mechanics in the ranking key above are the same mechanics that fail people, which is exactly why we rank on them instead of on the marketing.
