Best prop firms September 2026: 21 forex firms ranked by what they disclose

Prop firm rules, verified against the source.

Most comparison sites score whether they like a firm. We score how much a firm actually tells you — and we publish every weight, so you can recompute the number yourself and tell us which line is wrong.

01Every number has a source.Only a firm's own terms, rules or help pages count. Aggregators and review sites never state a fact here.
02The score is reproducible.Nine criteria, nine published weights adding to 100. Recompute any firm yourself and tell us which line is wrong.
03No paid placements.Order comes from disclosure alone. Outbound links may earn a referral fee; they never move a score or a rank.
04"Not yet verified" is not "no".When a firm has not published a rule we say so, instead of guessing in its favour or against it.

Every plan, side by side

Read this before the table. Terms & Conditions have been read for 9 of 21 firms (Hola Prime, FTMO, FundedNext, The 5%ers, E8 Markets, BrightFunded, Goat Funded Trader, Maven Trading, AquaFunded). For the rest, every figure comes from the firm's own rules or help pages, which is Tier B. Scores move when the legal documents are checked, and we show which way.
What each column means, in plain English
Firm / plan
A firm sells several plans, and the rules belong to the plan, not to the firm. One firm can appear more than once.
Disclosure
Our score out of 100. It measures how much a firm publishes about its own rules. It does not say whether a firm is good.
From
The lowest list price we verified for that plan. We show the currency the firm states and we do not convert it.
Target
The profit you have to make in the first phase before you move on to the next one.
Daily loss
How much you can lose in one day before the account fails. The percentage means nothing on its own: read the sentence in the cell for the balance it is calculated from.
Max loss
The floor your account must stay above for the life of the account. A static floor is set once from your starting balance. A trailing floor follows the account up as you win.
Consistency
A cap on how much of your profit is allowed to come from one day or one trade. It exists to stop a single lucky win from passing you.
Stop loss
Whether the firm requires a stop loss on every position you open.
Best split
The largest share of the profit the firm publishes for that plan. The rest goes to the firm.
Retroactive
A rule change the firm applied to accounts that already existed, including evaluations already passed. This is the most serious warning on the site.
Not yet verified
We could not verify this from the firm's own rules, terms or help pages. It is not a claim that the rule does not exist.

Why the daily loss column is a sentence, not a number. Hola Prime's 3% and FTMO 2-Step's 5% are calculated from entirely different reference points, and FundingPips takes the higher of balance or equity. A column reading “3% / 5% / 5%” would be actively misleading. Last re-checked 10 September 2026; the oldest record on this page was checked 4 September 2026. Each firm page carries its own date.

The 21 best prop firms of September 2026, one by one

Order is disclosure score, nothing else. The label under each name is the set of criteria the firm publishes in full; the "loses" line is where it does not. Both are computed from the same nine weights shown on every review.

The same account, three different breach floors

This is the single reason this site exists. Give three firms an identical account on an identical morning and their published daily loss rules produce floors $2,040 apart — and the firm quoting the smallest percentage gives you the least room.

equity $103,000 Hola Prime $98,940 3% FundingPips $97,850 5% FTMO 2-Step $96,900 5% Breach floor → further left means more room to lose
Worked example. One account: previous day closed at $102,000, today opens with balance $102,000 and equity $103,000. Each firm’s own published rule is applied unchanged. Hola Prime’s 3% is the tightest floor and FTMO’s 5% is the loosest — the percentages rank exactly backwards from the actual risk.

Which plan fits which trader

Each card is a rule list generated from the data. A plan whose firm has not published the rule is counted as "not yet verified", never assumed in.

Questions about this ranking

Which is the best prop firm in September 2026?

By disclosure — how much a firm publishes about its own rules — FundingPips ranks first at 100/100, followed by Maven Trading (95) and Goat Funded Trader (92). That is a measure of transparency, not of profitability or of how pleasant the firm is to deal with.

How many prop firms are ranked here, and why so few?

21 firms are scored and 0 more are listed as "not yet scored". A firm only gets a number after its rules have been read from its own terms or help pages. We would rather show 21 verified firms than 60 copied from other lists.

Why does this ranking differ from other "best prop firms" lists?

Most lists rank on reviews, payout claims or affiliate terms. This one scores nine published criteria with nine published weights that sum to 100, so any reader can recompute a score. Trustpilot stars and self-reported payout totals are never used as inputs.

What does "Not yet verified" mean?

That we have not yet read that fact from a Tier A (legal document, register) or Tier B (the firm's own site) source. It is a gap in our research, not a claim that the firm hides the rule or that the rule does not exist.

Have any of these firms changed rules retroactively?

Not on our record: 0 of the logged rule changes across 21 firms were applied to accounts that already existed. That is the single most serious warning we track, and the tracker is updated as changes are logged.

When was this page last checked?

Last re-checked 10 September 2026; the oldest record on this page was checked 4 September 2026. Each firm page carries its own date. 12 Tier A documents have been read so far, including the terms and conditions of 5 firms.
