The first number on every pricing page

The profit split tells you nothing about whether you will collect it

Across the 60 evaluations read here, the correlation between the advertised profit split and the chance a losing run does not end the attempt is 0.05. That is close enough to zero to treat the two as unrelated — which makes the split the largest number on a pricing page and the least informative.

7 programmes here publish 100%. Among them the chance of a losing run ending the attempt first runs from 43% to 86%. The same headline, on top of very different odds of ever using it.

Weighted by the chance of getting there

Multiply the split by the chance a losing run does not end the attempt, and the field reorders. 4 of the top five carry a split below the 100% headline.

At 1% risk per trade, a 40% win rate and 2R winners. The last column is an upper bound and not an expected payout: the chance a losing run does not end the attempt is an upper bound on reaching the target, since a trader can also simply not get there. Its use is the ordering, which the advertised split gets wrong.

The 100% programmes, side by side

E8 Markets E8 One 6% target 86% ends it 13.8

One advertised number, a 44-point spread once the odds are applied. A reader choosing on the split alone is choosing on the one column where these programmes are identical.

Why the split is advertised and the odds are not

A profit split is a promise about money that has already been made. It costs a firm nothing to raise while the evaluation stands between the trader and the payout, and raising it is the cheapest possible differentiation: it moves the biggest number on the page without touching a single rule that decides who reaches it.

The rules that do decide are smaller, further down, and harder to compare — a daily loss cap here, a drawdown type there, a minimum trading day somewhere else. At Maven the daily cap alone spans 98 points across one price list, and the split is 80% on nearly all of it. Nothing about that is dishonest; it is just what a headline number is for.

Which is why this page multiplies rather than ranks. The split is worth exactly the chance of reaching it, and the two numbers live in different parts of the page.

Questions

Which prop firm has the highest profit split?
7 programmes here publish 100%: The5ers, Funding Pips, E8 Markets, City Traders Imperium. That is the answer to the question as asked, and it is not a useful one. Those same 7 range from 43% to 86% on the chance a losing run ends the attempt before the target — so the same headline number sits on top of very different odds of ever using it.
Does a higher profit split mean a better deal?
Not across this field. The correlation between the advertised split and the chance of reaching it is 0.05, which is close enough to zero to treat the split as independent of the odds. Weighted by those odds, Maven Trading's Buy Now, Pay Later leads at 78.7 on a 80% split, while E8 Markets' E8 One carries the full 100% and scores 13.8.
How should I compare profit splits then?
By not comparing them on their own. The split decides what happens after the evaluation, so it is worth the chance of getting past the evaluation and no more. Multiply it by that chance and the ordering changes completely — which is the table on this page. Then read what the split actually is once funded, because several firms here can reduce it after the fact.
Is a 100% profit split real?
It is published, and it is a maximum rather than a rate. Splits on this site are recorded as the highest figure the firm publishes, which is usually reached through a scaling plan or a number of payouts rather than granted on day one. A 100% headline that arrives at the fourth withdrawal is a different promise from one that applies to the first, and no figure on this page distinguishes them.
