PROP FIRMS FOR US TRADERS

US access is a product rule, not a yes/no badge.

A firm may accept US residents but restrict the platform, market model or funded route. This shortlist records the route you can actually use.

HOW TO USE THIS LIST

A category is a filter. It is not a verdict.

Choose futures or simulated CFD-style markets before comparing brands.
Confirm the US platform, not the international platform list.
Read citizenship, residency and travel restrictions separately.
Check the funded account type and payout method before paying.

SOURCE-CHECKED SHORTLIST

6 programmes that pass this filter.

Country access can change without warning. Treat every US eligibility statement as dated, then recheck it at checkout.

FUTURES

Daily loss: No standard hard daily loss objective
Maximum loss: Maximum Loss Limit
Consistency: 50% consistency target in the Trading Combine
Payout: Payout eligibility depends on the selected funded-account path.

THE NON-NEGOTIABLE

Read the formula, not the badge.

Country access can change without warning. Treat every US eligibility statement as dated, then recheck it at checkout. Recheck the source before paying because evaluation firms change rules faster than conventional brokers.

FAQ

Questions this filter does not answer on its own.

Can US traders use FTMO?+

Yes. FTMO directs US residents to FTMO US by OANDA. Use that route because its products and terms may differ from FTMO International.

Which prop firms let US traders use MetaTrader?+

Platform access is increasingly jurisdiction-specific. E8 limits US Forex and Crypto clients to TradeLocker and MatchTrader. FTMO US uses its local route. Check the current platform page rather than relying on an old review.

Are futures prop firms regulated brokers?+

An evaluation firm is not automatically a broker. Many funded stages remain simulated. Read the agreement to see whether an account is simulated, live, or eligible to progress to live.

Can a US trader receive a prop firm payout?+

The firms listed here publish a US route, but payout eligibility still depends on KYC, tax forms, account rules and the selected payment method.
