CFD prop firms
CFD prop firms run simulated accounts on retail trading platforms: MetaTrader 5 and 4, cTrader, DXtrade and Match-Trader. One account usually covers forex pairs, gold, index CFDs and often crypto CFDs. Risk is set in percentages, normally a daily loss limit plus an overall drawdown, and most firms sell 1-step and 2-step challenges, with instant funding at some.

Also sell CFD accounts
Listed under their main account type, but these firms also sell this kind of account. Their scores and rows are on their own category page.
- TradeifyFuturesCore product is one-time-fee CME futures evaluations and instant-funded accounts on Tradovate, Rithmic or WealthCharts; a separate Tradeify FX brand sells MT5 forex accounts.
- Crypto Fund TraderCrypto exchangeCrypto-first firm and Bybit partner: trade from your own Bybit account via API; MT5 and Match-Trader CFD accounts are also sold.
What to check before you buy
Daily loss: balance or equity. A 5% daily limit measured on equity includes open trades; on balance it does not. Check which, and when the day resets.
Static or trailing drawdown. A static 10% stays fixed from the starting balance. A trailing one rises with your high-water mark, which leaves less room once you are in profit.
News and weekend rules. Many CFD firms block trading around high-impact news or force positions closed before the weekend, especially on funded accounts.
Platform availability. Platform access varies by country. Some firms lost or regained MT5 in recent years, so confirm your platform is offered where you live.
