We ran one supply and demand trade through 18 prop firms’ funded rulebooks: a buy limit resting at a demand zone, a structural stop beyond it, a target 3R away, and days of waiting for price to come back. Seventeen firms sell a product that passes, and we rank the cheapest one at each. In futures, Topstep’s Trading Combine 50K ($95 a month, $47.50 per $1,000 of loss room) has no per-trade cap and no news window but cancels every pending order at 4:10 PM ET; DayTraders EOD 50K ($105 plus $5) is the only futures product that leaves your order working overnight and over the weekend; LucidFlex 50K and Phidias Fundamental 50K give one stop $2,000 and $2,500. In forex and CFDs, FXIFY Two Phase 50K ($379) is the only product with no per-trade cap and no news window; Blue Guardian 2 Step Nano 50K is the cheapest room at $25.40 per $1,000; FundingPips strikes any idea that loses 1% ($500), and FTMO treats a stop filled within 2 minutes of listed news as a breach. A first payout takes 1 to 10 winning +3R days depending on the product. Take Profit Trader fails: its funded floor rises with open profit.
