Ranked by headline one-time fee.

Risk warning: Prop firm challenges are paid evaluations on simulated accounts. Most participants do not pass, and the fee is usually lost. Trading leveraged products such as CFDs, spread bets and futures carries a high risk of losing money. Nothing on this site is financial advice. Data may be out of date; always check the firm's own site before buying.
