We checked 25 prop firms for real market data and Level 2 (multi-level depth on the DOM) on the evaluation AND the funded account, the monthly price at each stage, and what data costs once an account goes live. Nine futures products pass and are ranked on Level 2 cost to first payout per $1,000 of loss room (list price, activation and every month of depth the firm’s own minimums make you pay before a first payout request, divided by the overall loss floor). DayTraders.com EOD 50K is cheapest at $65.00 ($10 Rithmic CME depth, live data free), then The Trading Pit Futures Prime 50K at $65.50 ($16 depth on a $99 one-time challenge), Tradeify Growth 50K at $72.50 before Tradovate’s unpublished Level 2 fee, and Topstep’s 50K Combine at $85.50 ($38 Level 2 on its own CME feed). Phidias, TradeDay, FXIFY Futures, Elite Trader Funding and Apex ($369.50) follow. FTMO Futures sells no Level 2, Take Profit Trader’s free depth sits on a funded floor that trails open profit, no US stock firm publishes full Level 2 terms, and FTMO and The5ers show liquidity-provider depth, not an exchange book.
