All firm rules, fees, promotions, and parameters listed on this page are subject to change without notice. TiltOwl last checked these figures against each firm's official site in September 2026 (per-variant dates may be newer). That is a catalog check date — not when any trader opened an account. TiltOwl makes no guarantees as to the accuracy or completeness of this information. Always read the official terms and conditions on each firm's website before purchasing an evaluation or trading a funded account. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss.
