Do prop firms offer the same terms in forex and futures?

Not on the drawdown. All 6 companies here that sell in both markets — FundedNext, The5ers, E8 Markets, Hola Prime, For Traders, Blue Guardian — offer at least one static drawdown in forex and none in futures. Where both sides publish a profit split, 3 of 3 match exactly.

Which prop firms sell both forex and futures evaluations?

FundedNext, The5ers, E8 Markets, Hola Prime, For Traders, Blue Guardian. Each was read separately in each market, and the pages are compared here on the fields both publish.

Why do futures accounts use trailing drawdowns?

This data cannot say why, only that it is universal. The useful part is that the same companies choose differently in each market, so the answer is unlikely to be firm philosophy — a firm selling a static cap to a forex trader on Monday is selling a trailing one to a futures trader on Tuesday.

Is the profit split the same across markets?

Where both sides publish one, yes: FundedNext pays 95% in both, E8 Markets pays 80% in both, For Traders pays 80% in both. The other 3 publish no futures split, so nothing can be said about them either way.

6 firms in both datasets

The same firm keeps its split and changes its drawdown

No futures firm on this site sells a drawdown that stops moving, and most forex firms do. The obvious objection is that these are simply different companies with different habits, and the two datasets happen to hold different names.

They do not entirely. 6 companies appear in both, read separately in each market. Every one sells a static drawdown in forex. None sells one in futures.

Firm	Forex drawdowns sold	Futures drawdowns sold
FundedNext	static, trails to the close · 4 programmes	trails to the close · 1 plan
The5ers	static · 4 programmes	trails to the close · 1 plan
E8 Markets	trails on closed trades, static · 2 programmes	end of day, movement not stated · 1 plan
Hola Prime	static · 1 programme	trails to the close · 1 plan
For Traders	trails on closed trades, static, trails to the close · 9 programmes	trails to the close · 1 plan
Blue Guardian	trails on closed trades, static · 5 programmes	trails to the close · 1 plan

What travels with the brand

The split does. Of the 6 pairs, 3 publish a profit split on both sides, and both agree exactly: FundedNext at 95%, E8 Markets at 80%, For Traders at 80%. The other 3 publish no futures split at all, so they are left out rather than assumed.

Which is the shape of the whole thing: what a firm pays you follows the firm across markets, and how it decides you have failed follows the market instead.

One firm publishes the consequence on both sides

Blue Guardian end the attempt when a forex trader hits the daily loss limit — fail on 5 programmes — and pause the futures trader who hits theirs. Same company, same rule name, and the difference between losing the account and losing the afternoon.

It is one firm, and it is presented as one firm. 1 pair of the 6 publishes what hitting the limit does on both sides, so there is no pattern here to report — only a single clean case that happens to point the same way as the drawdowns.

And the fee comes back at a different moment

The5ers refund the fee for passing on 1 of their 4 forex programmes. On the futures side: “The fee is refunded on the third payout rather than on passing, and there is no activation fee.”

Passing returns the money in one market. In the other, the same firm wants three payouts first.

What this does and does not prove

It does not explain why futures evaluations trail. This data cannot reach a reason, and the honest answer is that a reason is not in it.

What it does is remove one explanation. If the absence of a static futures drawdown were a matter of which companies happen to sell in each market, these 6 would be the exception, and they are not: each of them sells the thing in one market and withholds it in the other. Whatever decides it is not the firm.

Matching is by name, after removing a trailing “Futures” from the futures-side name. It is exact rather than fuzzy, because a near-match here would put two unrelated companies in the same row and the whole page turns on the row being one company. One pair is added by hand: E8 Markets and E8 Futures do not normalise to the same string, and the tie is published by the firm itself — its futures site carries a Forex/Futures switch in its own navigation and names e8markets.com in its legal footer.
