The 
Trading Pit Futures Review
7.3 out of 10
The short answer
The Trading Pit Futures scores 7.4, placing it in the upper half of our futures ranking. It earns that mainly on infrastructure. Twelve platforms across DXFeed and Rithmic, covering ATAS, Jigsaw, Sierra Chart, Quantower, VolFix and Volsys alongside the mainstream options, is the widest choice in the category and the clearest reason to pick this firm over a cheaper one.
How the 7.3 adds up
Weighted to 7.3 using our published weightings. Challenge Rules, Payout Reliability and Cost carry 20 percent each, Platform and Transparency 15 percent each, Support 10 percent.
Plans and pricing
The Plans
Three account sizes, one evaluation structure, no activation fee on any of them.
| Plan | Target | Max loss | Contracts | Max payout | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $3,000 | $2,000 | 5 mini / 50 micro | $2,500 | $74.25 from $99 |
| $100,000 | $6,000 | $3,000 | 10 mini / 100 micro | $3,500 | $141.75 from $189 |
| $150,000 | $9,000 | $4,500 | 15 mini / 150 micro | $5,000 | $216.75 from $289 |
Contract allowances are generous. Fifteen minis on the $150,000 account is more room than most competitors give, and it means position sizing is limited by the drawdown rather than by an arbitrary cap.
The consistency rule falls in the right place for most traders: 40 percent during the evaluation, nothing once funded. A trader who passes on one strong day will be caught by it, but a funded trader having a good month will not, which is the reverse of how several competitors arrange it.
Target-to-drawdown runs 1:0.67 on the $50,000 account and 1:0.5 on the two larger ones, so the bigger accounts ask you to make twice what you can lose. As with most of this category, the smallest account is the gentlest ratio.
Our verdict: 7.3 out of 10
The Trading Pit Futures is the futures arm of The Trading Pit, a Liechtenstein firm trading since October 2022 under chief executive Daniela Egli. It runs one-step evaluations on $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000 accounts with an end-of-day trailing drawdown, no activation fee, and an 80 percent split.
The reason to read this rather than our Trading Pit review is that the futures product runs on completely different infrastructure from the CFD challenge. Twelve futures platforms on DXFeed and Rithmic, against MT4, MT5 and cTrader on the CFD side. They share a company and very little else, including a Trustpilot rating that Trustpilot has withheld from the whole firm.
The commercial terms hold up too. No activation fee, a one-time $74.25 for a $50,000 account, an end-of-day trailing drawdown, generous contract allowances, and a consistency rule that applies during the evaluation and then stops.
What it lacks is a record worth trusting. Trustpilot has withheld the firm’s rating and states it removed a number of fake reviews, which is a finding rather than a gap, and it applies across the company. The futures arm adds only four independent reviews of its own. Transparency 4.5 and Support 5.5 follow from that, and they are the difference between this scoring 7.0 and scoring in the high sevens on its platform strength alone.
A trader who values platform choice above all else will find this the best-equipped firm in the category. A trader who wants to verify a payout history first should wait for the review count to grow.

Payouts and trading conditions
Payouts and the Evidence Gap
Payouts require five profitable days of $150 or more, and are capped per request at $2,500, $3,500 and $5,000 by account size. The split is 80 percent across all plans. Prop Firm Match records no payout delays.
The evidence behind that is the problem, and it got worse on inspection. Trustpilot has withheld The Trading Pit’s rating entirely, stating on the profile that it removed a number of fake reviews for the company. That is a finding about the firm rather than an absence of information, and it applies to every product the company sells, futures included.
The futures arm has its own thin record on top of that: four reviews on Prop Firm Match, which flags the firm as having fewer than ten. So there is neither a futures-specific record nor a trustworthy firm-wide one. Transparency is scored 4.5 and Support 5.5 for that reason, and they are what hold this listing at 7.0 despite the strongest platform offering in the category.
One discrepancy worth flagging separately: Prop Firm Match’s own summary text describes The Trading Pit Futures as offering 1-step and 2-step programmes from $10,000 to $100,000 with 8 to 10 percent targets and 50 to 60 percent splits, which contradicts its own structured challenge data showing three 1-step plans from $50,000 to $150,000 with an 80 percent split. We have used the structured data because it is more specific, but the conflict is a reason to confirm terms at checkout.
More on The Trading Pit Futures
The Platform Advantage
This is the strongest platform offering we have found in the futures category, and it is the main reason the score sits where it does. The Trading Pit Futures routes through DXFeed and Rithmic and connects to twelve platforms: ATAS Orderflow Trading, Jigsaw Daytradr, MotiveWave, NinjaTrader, Quantower, R Trader, R Trader Pro, Sierra Chart, TradingView, Tradovate, VolFix and Volsys.
That list matters because it covers the tools serious futures traders actually use rather than only the mainstream two. ATAS, Jigsaw, VolFix and Volsys are order-flow and footprint platforms. Sierra Chart and Quantower are the professional workhorses. A trader who has built a process around depth of market and volume profile can bring it here intact.
Compare that with E8 Futures on TradingView and Tradovate only, or FTUK Futures on its own single platform. Platform and Execution scores 8.5 here, the highest mark we have given in this category.
The Trading Pit Futures vs the CFD and Options Listings
The Trading Pit appears three times in our rankings and the products are not equivalent. This review covers futures only.
| | Futures | CFD | Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you trade | Futures contracts | Forex, metals, indices, equities as CFDs | CFD options |
| Platforms | Twelve, on DXFeed and Rithmic | MT4, MT5, cTrader | Same CFD platforms |
| Our score | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 |

The options listing is the one to treat carefully. The Trading Pit funds CFD options, which track an option price rather than giving you an exchange-traded contract, and our options guide explains why that is the wrong instrument for anyone who needs expiry or assignment. It currently sits at the top of our options ranking on firm score rather than product fit.
Futures traders who run order-flow, footprint or depth-of-market tooling and want to bring it with them, who want generous contract allowances, and who would rather have the consistency rule in the evaluation than on the funded account.
You want an independent record to check before funding, because there are four futures reviews and no futures Trustpilot profile. Also look elsewhere if you need to withdraw large amounts per request, since payouts cap at $2,500 to $5,000.
Plans, pricing, targets, drawdown type, contract limits, consistency rules, payout terms, brokers and the platform list read from the The Trading Pit Futures profile and challenge tables on Prop Firm Match on 8 September 2026, not from the firm’s own site, which is unreachable from our connection. Prop Firm Match’s own summary text conflicts with its structured challenge data on account sizes, steps and profit split; the structured data is used here and the conflict is noted in the review. Because we could not verify these terms against the firm’s own published rules, treat the figures as second-hand and confirm them at checkout before you pay. The Trustpilot suppression and the firm’s statement about removed fake reviews were read directly from trustpilot.com/review/thetradingpit.com on 8 September 2026.
Review date:
Best for
Traders who want CFD and futures under one roof, with CFD entry from $2,500 and bi-weekly payouts at a $100 minimum.
Avoid if
You scalp fast or need review-site proof. Trades under 15 seconds break the rules, the futures challenge has a 30-day hard limit, and the Trustpilot rating is suspended amid a fake-review investigation.
