Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss. Prop firm evaluations are paid products; most traders do not pass. Not financial advice.
Prices are the lowest list price before any coupon; the lowest price with a code is shown underneath where the provider displays one (or as a marked estimate). Each firm has several plans with different rules — open the full rulebook for size-by-size tables.
