PropShopTrader Futures Review
Futures side of PropShopTrader · Pro, Flex and Direct plans · 90% profit share · One-time fee · Tickblaze and Rithmic · 4.0/5 Trustpilot from 525 reviews
PropShopTrader scores 7.4, which places it in the upper half of our futures ranking. The combination that earns it is a 90 percent profit share, a one-time fee of $81.75 for a $25,000 Pro account with code PST, an end-of-day trailing drawdown, and unlimited payout requests with no lock on the account afterwards. For a trader who takes profit steadily, that is a genuinely competitive package at the cheap end of the market.

PropShopTrader Futures is the futures side of PropShopTrader. It funds accounts from $25,000 to $150,000 on Tickblaze and Rithmic, charges a one-time fee rather than a subscription, pays a 90 percent profit share, and uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown on every plan. Three funding paths are available: a Pro assessment, a Flex assessment with a different balance of objective and risk, and Direct, which skips the assessment entirely.
PropShopTrader is a multi-asset firm, not a futures-only one. Alongside this product it runs Stocks Gladiator equity accounts, which we review separately at PropShopTrader Stocks. It has no CFD or forex product. We previously had it listed under CFD, which was wrong and has been corrected.
Three Funding Paths
PropShopTrader sells the same account four ways, and the difference is where the risk sits rather than how much capital you get. All three paths use an end-of-day trailing drawdown and all three pay 90 percent.
| $25,000 account | Pro | Flex | Direct |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structure | Assessment then funded | Assessment then funded | No assessment stage |
| Trading days to payout | 3 | 5 | 5 |
| Max per payout request | $1,500 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| Number of payouts | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| One-time fee | $109 | $79 | $329 |
| With code PST | $81.75 | $59.25 | $246.75 |
Pro is the standard route and the one PropShopTrader marks as most chosen. Flex is cheaper and carries a different balance of objective and risk parameters, at the cost of two extra trading days before a payout and a lower cap per request. Direct costs roughly three times Pro because you skip the evaluation and start on funded-account rules from your first order.
The figures above are the $25,000 tier on Tickblaze, read from the PropShopTrader configurator on 8 September 2026. The configurator updates every price and parameter for the exact size and platform you select, so check your own combination rather than assuming these scale linearly.
Payouts
The 90 percent profit share is among the highest in futures prop, and PropShopTrader does not lock the account after a payout, which some firms do as a way of slowing withdrawals. Requests are unlimited in number: the minimum request is $500, and as long as you keep qualifying and the account stays active you can keep requesting.
The constraint is the ceiling on each request. Pro allows $1,500 per request and Flex and Direct allow $1,000, and a $1,100 non-withdrawable buffer must remain in the account. On a $25,000 account a $1,500 request is 6 percent, so a trader who makes $6,000 in a month collects it across several requests rather than in one. PropShopTrader states plainly on the plan card that this is a maximum per request and not a lifetime cap, which is the sort of clarification most firms leave for the terms page.
A 30-day inactivity limit applies, and total allocation across all your PropShopTrader accounts is capped at $1,000,000 rather than by the number of accounts. On the $25,000 size that works out to as many as 40 accounts.
Disclosure
PropShopTrader scores 7.8 on Transparency, the highest mark we have given in this round of futures reviews, and it earns it on structure rather than on promises.
The pricing configurator publishes every price, risk parameter and payout term for the exact combination of plan, account size and platform you select, before you buy. Most firms publish a headline price and leave the funded-account rules to a separate document. PropShopTrader also pre-empts the two figures most likely to be misread: it states that the maximum per payout is per request and not a lifetime cap, and that the account cap is on total allocation rather than on the number of accounts.
That is a firm anticipating where a reader would get the wrong idea and answering it on the same screen. It does not make the rules generous, and the payout ceiling is still a real limit. It does mean you are unlikely to be surprised by a rule you could not have read beforehand.
Futures traders who want a high profit share on a cheap one-time fee, who withdraw regularly in moderate amounts rather than in large lumps, who are comfortable on Rithmic or Tickblaze, and who value knowing every rule and payout term before paying.
You want to withdraw large amounts in single requests, because each is capped at $1,000 to $1,500 above a $1,100 buffer. Also look elsewhere if you need Tradovate, NinjaTrader or Quantower, or if a 20 percent consistency rule would catch how you trade.
Our Verdict
PropShopTrader scores 7.4, which places it in the upper half of our futures ranking. The combination that earns it is a 90 percent profit share, a one-time fee of $81.75 for a $25,000 Pro account with code PST, an end-of-day trailing drawdown, and unlimited payout requests with no lock on the account afterwards. For a trader who takes profit steadily, that is a genuinely competitive package at the cheap end of the market.
The payout ceiling is the real trade-off and it deserves weighing properly rather than dismissing. Unlimited requests at $1,000 to $1,500 each is fine if you withdraw as you go, and frustrating if you were expecting to clear a strong month in one transfer. Combined with the $1,100 buffer and the 20 percent consistency rule, the product rewards a steady grinder and penalises a trader whose edge arrives in bursts.
Two platforms is the other limitation. Rithmic covers the traders who care most about execution and tooling, so this is less damaging than it sounds, but it is narrower than most of the category.
Two corrections worth stating plainly. PropShopTrader was previously listed in our CFD category, which it has never traded, and that listing is gone. We also briefly removed its stocks listing on the mistaken basis that the firm was futures-only; the equities product is real and substantial, and it is back in the stocks ranking with its own review.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does PropShopTrader let you trade?
Futures and US equities. This review covers the futures side: Pro, Flex and Direct futures plans on account sizes from $25,000 to $150,000, on Tickblaze and Rithmic. PropShopTrader also runs Stocks Gladiator equity accounts, which we review separately. It has no CFD or forex product, and propshoptrader.com/cfd returns a 404.
How much can you withdraw from PropShopTrader at once?
The maximum per payout request is $1,500 on the Pro plan and $1,000 on Flex and Direct, and a $1,100 non-withdrawable buffer must stay in the account. The minimum request is $500. There is no limit on the number of requests, so the cap slows how fast profit comes out rather than limiting how much you can earn in total. PropShopTrader states this explicitly on its plan cards.
What is the difference between the Pro, Flex and Direct plans?
Pro is the standard assessment route, costs $109 for the $25,000 account, needs 3 trading days before a payout when funded, and allows $1,500 per request. Flex is cheaper at $79, carries a different balance of objective and risk parameters, needs 5 trading days and allows $1,000 per request. Direct costs $329 and skips the assessment entirely, so you trade funded-account rules from your first order, with 5 trading days to payout and a $1,000 cap. Code PST takes 25 percent off all three.
Does PropShopTrader have a consistency rule?
Yes, 20 percent once funded, and it does not apply during the assessment. No single trading day may account for more than 20 percent of the profit in a payout period. That is tighter than the 25 to 40 percent most futures firms apply, so a month carried by one strong session can hold up a payout even when the balance qualifies.
Which platforms does PropShopTrader support?
Tickblaze and Rithmic. Rithmic is an established futures order routing and data feed that connects to depth-of-market and order-flow tools. Tickblaze is a platform with backtesting and automation features. PropShopTrader does not offer Tradovate, NinjaTrader or Quantower.
Plans, pricing, drawdown type, payout terms and funded-account rules read from the PropShopTrader configurator and plan cards on propshoptrader.com on 8 September 2026, at the $25,000 size on Tickblaze. Profit targets and drawdown amounts were not published in the plan snapshot we read and are not stated here. Trustpilot figure is 4.0 from 525 reviews. Prop firm terms change often, so check the configurator for your own plan, size and platform before you pay.
