All firm rules, fees, promotions, and parameters listed on this page are subject to change without notice. TiltOwl's verification engine re-checks each firm's official site on a daily cadence; these figures were last confirmed in October 2026. That is a catalog check month — 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.
