I wasn't expecting a response so quickly over the holidays but Fiel from customer service answered my enquiry within a few hours and resolved my issue immediately. Awesome service!
I had the best experience and couldn't even begin to express the gratitude I have for this company. My screen was gray with an active trade going. Couldn't add contracts or close anything. Support closed my -800 trade and reset both of my accounts (was copy trading) THEN, I linked them again but the totals weren't matching. He said based on good faith, he brought the lower to the higher total! It was a $170+ difference! No other prop firm would have done that and would have blamed the connection or anything else and left it as is. I'll never use another prop firm but this one. In this trading world, many just want your money on failed evaluations and they made it right.

Wow, we are honored! Thank you so much for sharing this, Kayla. We really appreciate the trust and are glad the team was able to step in and make things right.
The support from the TFD has been very responsive and effective even during after hours when the support desk is normally closed! Love that. Didn't expect help with a technical issue until tomorrow morning but Fiel seems to always be available. Thank you so much for all your support over the last few months. Very much appreciated. Happy New Year!

Thanks for sharing your experience, we are so happy to hear you’re finding real value in the tools and support so far.
Quick response time. Very helpful to make sure all your concerns are addressed. When support couldn’t address my issue, they contacted the dev team to help. Outstanding customer support
End-of-Year Review — The Futures Desk
Wrapping up the year, I can confidently say The Futures Desk sets the standard. Dan, Asher, and Fiel have been exceptional across the platform—consistently supportive, communicative, and present.
When market-wide issues hit, they showed real grit: staying in touch, explaining challenges clearly, and keeping traders informed instead of leaving us guessing. Even when we spiraled (because… trading), they met it with patience, help, and grace.
What stands out most is the communication, transparency, and availability of this team. That combination is rare in this industry—and it’s why I trust them as my go-to prop firm heading into the new year.
Wishing the entire Futures Desk team continued success in 2026. You’re the best in the business.

Hey Tim, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this amazing review. We really appreciate you being a part of this journey with us. Wishing you the best in 2026 as well!
Look no farther, this is the prop firm you have been searching for
Considering every single aspect of a company, TFD shines in all of them. The way that you are able to customize your assessment is unlike any other firm I have come across. The overall structure of the assessment is very straightforward and geared to making you a better trader. The path to live is amazing, no sim payout to keep you on the hook. I would have to say the shining star in this company is there customer support. If every company, even those outside of the prop firm space, handled their clients like TFD the world would be a better place. If there is something that you need help with, all you need to do is ask. Whether its on the site support or through discord.The response time is amazing and they are always kind and professional, no matter what time of day.If you are looking for a prop firm who could help you grow as a trader, this is it.

Thank you for the kind words. We’re glad the structure, customization, and support stood out. Helping traders grow the right way is exactly what we aim for!
In terms of caring about the trader for a long-term partnership, TFD reigns supreme. Many firms tout the word "partnership" only to bind the trader in a lopsided power dynamic that feels antagonistic to work within. Not at TFD. If you are serious about long-term success as a trader, you deserve to trade here. Understand what this firm is all about, trade responsibly, and they will take care of you. In terms of a strong foundation for consistent trading success, TFD is second only to your own live account.
If one could dream: Please lobby the CME to allow a 90/10 profit split.

We really appreciate this! Thank you for your great review!
Easily the most expensive futures prop firm in the entire industry and it's not even remotely close.
They don't allow tradovate
And they force you to ONLY base hits even of your profitable strategy is not scalping. If you have a losing day, you can't make up the entire loss plus the base hit the next day. So for every losing day you have, your eval is extended an extra 2 days. It's a black hole unless you're lucky enough to never have a single losing day thru the entire eval. It would be better if they simply had a consistency rule that allowed you larger profits so that if you have a losing day, you can make the entire loss back plus the base hit the next day

Hi Derek, we don't have a partnership with Tradovate right now, it's not that we don't allow it.
When an account is in drawdown, we allow a boosted base hit up to 150% of the normal amount until you get back to your highest end-of-day balance, without increasing the overall profit target.
Base hits only apply during the assessment and are completely removed once you pass. There are zero consistency rules after you pass. We move traders into live accounts faster than anyone else.
Our structure is built around getting more traders live (over 100 a month right now), then supporting them with hands-on coaching, uncapped daily payouts, and access to our CME seats for very low execution fees.
I’d say they’re the only firm that actually care about their traders and want them to succeed. I’ve been with a lot of firms, went through sim funded and also live as well but nowhere does it like TFD. They do everything very professional, care and quick. They’re the only firm that I’m with and looking for long term and make them money as well not just for myself, the representative Asher, Dan, Fiel, Brian and Josh always go above and beyond to take care of their trader.
A different experience.
They want you to win, not like other prop firms.
They give you REAL fund not SIM !
They provide an amazing dashboard includes many features not just trading-journal system. including AI analysis on your trades so you know what to improve in your strategy,
Thank you. Will do a longer review soon.

Thank you very much, AD! We're so glad you see the vision!
Hey there, we’re sorry you had a bad experience. For clarity, we funded you with a $3K brokerage account, which was unfortunately blown. You then reached out requesting additional funding, and we attempted to set up a risk call to help you.
You then immediately opened another account under a new email, which is against our Terms of Service. We honored all of our responsibilities as the firm, but these actions were a violation of the rules.
That said, we’re still willing to work with you if you’d like to move forward the right way. Please reply to our support message so we can help.
