Yes: plenty of prop firms let you trade from TradingView, and all 13 entries in the comparison above support it. More useful is how the list is made up. Most of it is futures firms, and only a handful offer forex or CFD challenges. Among the top five, FTMO is the only one with a forex program. Forex and CFD traders should narrow the list to those entries before comparing anything else, while futures traders have most of the list to choose from.
What the order is based on
Entries are ranked by a score out of 10, from FTMO at 8.1 down to FundedNext at 6.6. The user rating beside each firm name is a separate figure and does not set the order. A few examples show the difference:
- My Funded Futures (MFFU) has the highest user rating on the list (4.9 from 22,823 reviews) but sits fourth by score.
- FundedNext has the largest review count (83,411, rated 4.5) and ranks last.
- V Prop Trader carries a 4.7 user rating and ranks eleventh.
A crowd rating reflects how reviewers rated the firm. The score is the ranking’s own assessment. Partner commissions do not affect scores.
The gaps are also uneven. FTMO leads Earn2Trade by 0.2 points. From sixth to tenth, five entries sit at 7.1 or 7.0, so within that cluster the order tells you very little and each program’s rules and costs separate them better.
How we checked the firms in this list
We ran these checks on 2026-11-13, connecting from Tallinn, Estonia, in the EU. For each of the 14 brands we opened the official site, noted the legal entities it names, and looked for a company register entry where one was on record. Five brands had a register lookup. Companies House (UK) confirmed Alpha Futures under 15655643 with status Active, incorporated 17 April 2024, and confirmed FXIFY Solutions Limited with status Active, incorporated 31 October 2022. Blue Guardian and Blue Guardian Futures both point to company number 12087566 in their checkout terms. Companies House lists 12087566 (ICONIC EXCHANGE LIMITED, Solihull, incorporated 5 July 2019) as dissolved, and the site footer and main terms now name Iconic Exchange FZCO in Dubai (IFZA Business Park). For FundedNext, the FSCA search (South Africa) for 53187 could not be searched, so that check is incomplete. The other nine brands have no register lookup on record.
We also clicked each site’s main sign-up button and recorded what came next. At FTMO, “Get Started” led to a sign-in or account page before any payment screen. At the other 13 brands, including Earn2Trade, FXIFY and AquaFunded, the button opened a checkout without an account. Blue Guardian Futures redirected to another address when we opened it.
A few outside signals help with comparison. FundedNext shows a Trustpilot score of 4.5 from 83,783 reviews, while AquaFunded shows 2 from 1,215 reviews. Site age varies too. FTMO’s first archive capture is 2002-11-16, but V Prop Trader’s is 2025-02-06. These checks have limits. We did not open accounts, pay for challenges or test payouts, so nothing here tells you how a firm treats traders after purchase.
Forex and CFDs or futures: the first filter
Each program is tagged with its markets, and that tag decides more than any score.
Forex and CFD programs on the list: FTMO (Forex, Crypto, Stocks), FXIFY (Forex, Crypto), V Prop Trader (Forex), Blue Guardian (Forex, Crypto), FundedNext (Forex, Crypto) and The Trading Pit’s second entry (Forex, Futures, Stocks).
Futures programs: Earn2Trade, Traders Launch, MFFU, Funded Futures Family, Alpha Futures, The Trading Pit Futures and Blue Guardian Futures.
The two groups don’t only differ in instruments. They also write their rules differently. Forex and CFD challenges here state targets and limits as percentages of the account. FTMO’s 2-Step, for example, has a 10% / 5% profit target, a 5% daily loss and a 10% max loss on a $100K account. Futures programs state them in dollars, often with an end-of-day (EOD) drawdown. Alpha Futures’ Zero Evaluation has a $3,000 target, a $1,000 daily loss and a $2,000 max loss for its 50K account.
Where entries genuinely differ
FTMO is the highest scored entry and the only forex and CFD program in the top five. It has the largest maximum scaling ($2M), the highest fee ($602 for $100K) and a 4-day minimum. Its news and weekend restrictions are the main trade-off for anyone who holds positions.
Traders Launch is the only top-five entry that allows EAs and has no minimum trading days. Its split is 60% or 80%, with no stated rule for which applies.
The Trading Pit appears twice with the same Futures Prime fee ($110 for $50K). The entries differ in markets (futures only versus forex, futures and stocks) and maximum scaling ($150K versus $400K).
Blue Guardian also appears twice. Both offer the Elite program at $231 for $100K. The futures entry scores higher (7.0 against 6.7) and pays out instantly, while the forex and crypto entry pays every 3 days.
FXIFY pairs a 5% target with a static 10% max loss and has the most permissive holding, news and EA rules among the forex programs. Its $44 fee is for a small $5K account.
How TradingView fits into a prop account
TradingView is the charting front end. It does not fund traders, and the firm or its platform provider supplies the account connection, with setup steps that vary by firm. Four points matter more than those steps:
The account type doesn’t change. TradingView is the front end. If a firm’s terms describe its evaluation or funded stage as simulated, connecting through TradingView means you are trading that simulated account.
The chart and the account can price differently. CFD prices are quoted by the provider, so a TradingView chart from another data source can differ from your account’s execution price. Futures prices line up more closely, but real-time exchange data on TradingView may need a separate subscription, and delayed data on a fast contract is a real problem. Match the charted symbol to the instrument the account trades, and judge drawdown by the account’s own figures.
Firm rules still apply. A max loss, daily loss or news restriction is enforced on the account, whatever platform sent the order. TradingView won’t stop you from breaching a firm limit unless you build that protection into your own orders.
Automation is a separate permission. Traders Launch, FXIFY and Blue Guardian allow EAs. If you plan to automate through TradingView alerts or a bot, the firm’s automation rules need to cover that method.
Reading costs and rules across entries
Fees are quoted for different account sizes
Each fee is tied to a specific account. FTMO’s $602 is for a $100K account. Earn2Trade’s $38 is a discounted price for a $25K Trader Career Path account. FXIFY’s $44 is for a $5K account. Side by side, these numbers mean little until you adjust for size and risk. Several fees also reflect a discount code rather than the full price.
The drawdown limit is the money you actually trade with
The account size names the program. The max loss tells you how far you can lose before the account fails. Comparing the fee with that limit gives a more honest picture:
| Program | Account | Fee | Max loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| FTMO Challenge: 2-Step | $100K | $602 | 10% ($10,000) |
| Alpha Futures Zero Evaluation | $50K | $101 | $2,000 EOD |
| The Trading Pit Futures Prime | $50K | $110 | $2,000 EOD |
| Blue Guardian Futures Elite | $100K | $231 | $3,500 EOD trailing |
A $100K futures account with a $3,500 trailing drawdown and a $100K forex account with a $10,000 static limit are very different amounts of room. Some limits also come as options rather than a single figure, such as MFFU’s max loss of “1.5k or 2k” or Traders Launch’s three max loss tiers for one $100K account.
The comparison is also shaped by how the limit moves:
- Static (FXIFY’s 10% max loss): the floor stays fixed at a set distance from the starting balance.
- EOD trailing (MFFU, Blue Guardian): the floor rises with your end-of-day high, so profits you give back during later sessions eat into your remaining room.
- Fixed (Earn2Trade’s fixed static drawdown): as with static, the limit doesn’t follow your gains.
Blue Guardian’s $2,000 daily loss is a soft breach, a term firms use for a limit that ends trading for the day rather than failing the account.
Payout labels come with conditions
Each profit share comes with a payout schedule, and the schedules are not all the same kind of promise:
- MFFU pays every 48 hours. Traders Launch pays daily.
- Earn2Trade pays weekly, but only from $100 or more and after 5 profitable days.
- Alpha Futures pays up to four times a month, each time after 5 winning days of $200 or more.
- The Trading Pit pays every 7 days, and its programs require 5 profitable days of at least $150 each.
- FTMO’s first payout comes 14 days from the first day of trading. FXIFY pays on a 14 or 30 day cycle.
- Blue Guardian Futures offers instant payouts, while the Blue Guardian forex entry pays every 3 days.
A frequent schedule only matters if your trading can meet the profit-day conditions attached to it. A trader with a few large days and many flat ones may find a “weekly” program pays out less often than one with a 14-day cycle and no daily-profit threshold.
Holding and news rules
For swing traders, the holding rules may decide the choice on their own. FTMO restricts both news trading and weekend holding. Neither Trading Pit program allows weekend holding. FXIFY allows news trading, weekend holding and EAs. Blue Guardian allows weekend holding and EAs.
Several terms need confirming with the firm before you buy. Check which of MFFU’s two max loss figures (“1.5k or 2k”) applies to your account size, and which of Traders Launch’s three max loss tiers applies to its $100K account. Check when Traders Launch pays 60% rather than 80%, and whether FXIFY’s payout cycle is 14 or 30 days for your program. Check how Blue Guardian defines its soft breach. Finally, check whether a firm’s automation rules cover TradingView alerts or bots, not only MetaTrader expert advisors.
Choosing between them
- Filter by market. Forex and CFDs or futures; this removes about half the list.
- Check where the firm is based. Most entries show a country: Czechia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, the United Kingdom, Liechtenstein and St. Lucia. A country of incorporation is not a licence, so check what the firm says about its legal setup.
- Compare fee against drawdown, not against account size.
- Match payout conditions, holding, news and automation rules to how you trade.
- Confirm the TradingView connection on the specific program, including that the instrument and price feed match your chart.
- Start with the smallest account that fits your strategy, so a failure while you learn the rules costs less.
