Looking for a prop firm that accepts US traders? Most forex and CFD prop firms exclude U.S. residents, so this list only includes the 3 firms that publish current first-party evidence supporting 9 explicitly mapped product paths for U.S. residents, mostly futures evaluations plus a small number of Match-Trader CFD paths. Access evidence is not legal advice, CFTC or NFA registration, or a guarantee that every state, platform, KYC route, payout method, and product configuration is available. Editorial score sets the order; partnership status contributes 0 points.

Editorial score sets the order; every card names current product coverage and links its access source. Partnership, coupon size, product count, asset class and platform add 0 points.
Stellar 2-Step and Stellar 1-Step, plus 1 more. The USA guide supports these 3 evaluation paths on Match-Trader. It also lists Stellar Instant, but FundedNext's newer country-policy article says U.S. clients cannot access that product; Stellar Instant is excluded pending clarification. This is not U.S. regulatory approval.
Trading Combine - Standard Path and Trading Combine - No Activation Fee Path. Topstep's current eligibility tables do not place U.S. clients in the ineligible or XFA-only groups, and its payout policy publishes W-9 and U.S.-bank routes. Verify the exact profile before purchase.
Growth Evaluation and Select Evaluation → Flex, plus 2 more. Tradeify's restricted-country policy explicitly uses the U.S. as an eligible-country example. Its current page does not publish a Sim Funded-only country table; live-account approval and KYC remain separate checks.
Four access, product, contract and payout checks to complete before paying.
For live retail forex, the NFA says only certain regulated entities, including CFTC-registered FCMs and RFEDs that are NFA members, may act as the counterparty to off-exchange forex trades with U.S. retail customers. Evaluation-style prop firms sell simulated accounts instead, which is why most CFD-based firms exclude U.S. residents. This page lists firms that say they accept U.S. residents; it is not a legal opinion on any firm.
Yes, but the options are narrower. FundedNext publishes a U.S. CFD route on Match-Trader for its mapped Stellar evaluations. Futures firms trade exchange-listed contracts, which can include currency futures where the product lists them. Check the product's tradable-instrument list before buying.
Futures trade on regulated exchanges, so futures prop firms can offer U.S. residents simulated evaluations on exchange-listed contracts without the forex and CFD counterparty limits above. Each futures firm still sets its own data fees, activation fees, drawdown and payout rules, so compare the exact product.
No. The CFTC says certain derivatives businesses and individuals must register and recommends checking NFA BASIC. A firm’s U.S.-access page proves only what the firm currently says it offers.
Read the named contract. Topstep describes its Express Funded Account as simulated before a possible Live Funded Account, while each firm publishes a different transition and payout structure.
No. This snapshot maps 9 exact products: futures paths use exchange-listed contracts and product-specific market hours, while FundedNext’s 3 mapped U.S. CFD evaluations use Match-Trader. Stellar Instant is excluded because FundedNext's official U.S. pages conflict on its availability.
Check legal name, residency, KYC, tax form and bank-country rules. Apex publishes U.S.-residency-matched ACH requirements, while Topstep lists W-9 handling for U.S. persons.
Compare current rules first, then recheck the firm’s U.S. policy and your exact checkout configuration.
