Which futures prop firms support NinjaTrader 8?
Futures prop firms that connect to NinjaTrader 8 include Apex Trader Funding, FTMO, Take Profit Trader, TradeDay, Bulenox, Earn2Trade, Elite Trader Funding, Tradeify, BluSky Trading Company, FundedNext Futures, Lucid Trading and MyFundedFutures. Some connect through the NinjaTrader Prop environment, others through Rithmic or Tradovate data routing.
What is the difference between trailing and End of Day (EOD) drawdown?
A trailing drawdown follows your highest account balance during the session, including open profit, so a winning trade that reverses can still use up your drawdown. An End of Day drawdown only moves at the close, based on your closing balance. A static drawdown never moves. TradeDay and Earn2Trade use EOD models, Bulenox offers both trailing and EOD, and Elite Trader Funding offers static, EOD and trailing accounts.
Which prop firm has the highest profit split?
Apex Trader Funding advertises up to a 100% profit split, FundedNext Futures up to 95%, and Take Profit Trader, Bulenox and Tradeify around 90%. TradeDay offers up to 80%. Splits often depend on the account type and how long you have been funded, so check the firm's current terms.
Can I run Vantedge Alpha indicators and strategies on a prop firm account?
Vantedge Alpha products run inside NinjaTrader 8, so they install on any prop firm account you trade through NT8. Each firm sets its own rules on automated strategies, trade copying across accounts and Level 2 market data, and these rules change often. Read your firm's current rules before trading Vantedge FlowPilot or Vantedge BookPilot on an evaluation or funded account.
Vantedge Alpha is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these firms; names and logos belong to their owners. Firm details are summaries and may be out of date. Prop firm rules change often: check your firm's current rules on automation, trade copying and market data before trading.
