Last updated: 2 October 2026 Every pass rate, payout rate and “called up to live” rate that the 10 prop firms we track have published, including the ones they later replaced or took down. Each number links to the firm’s own page or an archived copy of it, with the exact wording. These are the firms’ own numbers. Nobody audits them, and neither can we.
The short version
Only 4 of the 10 firms show a pass rate today. Take Profit Trader, Topstep, Tradeify and MyFundedFutures publish one on their own sites (checked 2 October 2026). A fifth, Apex Trader Funding, used to show 43.13% for January–September 2023, but no longer shows any rate. We found none, current or archived, on the sites of FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, FundingPips or Goat Funded Trader. FTMO does publish “4.5M+ Customers worldwide” and “$650M+ Paid in rewards”. It does not say how many of those customers passed.
The pass rate depends on what you count. Topstep says 16.8% of Trading Combines started in 2025 were passed, and also that 51.8% of the people who entered one got funded at least once. Tradeify: 17.2% of evaluation accounts, 40.3% of people, and its people bought a median of 3 evaluations each. Count attempts and roughly 1 in 6 passes. Count people and it looks like 2 in 5 or better, because the people kept paying for more attempts.
Getting funded is not getting paid. Of traders who reached the funded stage, 33.3% got a payout at Topstep (2025) and 28.5% at Tradeify (Aug 2025–Jul 2026). MyFundedFutures says 39.2%, for a period it doesn’t name. The share moved up to a live account: 0.71% at Topstep, 3.0% at Tradeify, 4.2% at MyFundedFutures.
Take Profit Trader’s pass rate more than doubled in a year. Same wording both years, “of all Trading Tests”: 16.86% for 2024 and 36.22% for 2025. Topstep’s Combine rate also rose, from 12.4% (2024) to 16.8% (2025). The firms don’t explain why. Rule changes, a different customer mix or a change in how they count could each do it.
Numbers come and go, and some lose their dates. MyFundedFutures used to show 20.35% for 1 January 2024 to 1 July 2025. That block was gone by August 2026. It now shows 19.97% “during the applicable measurement period”, with no dates. Apex showed a 43.13% pass rate (January–September 2023) until at least August 2025 (last seen in the 10 August 2025 capture). On 2 October 2026 its homepage, terms, risk disclosure and help center showed no pass or success rate at all, only dollar compensation totals. The5ers calls Hyper Growth “the program with the highest success rate in the Industry” and gives no figure.

Apex and FundingPips block automated requests, so we checked their live sites by hand in a browser on 2 October 2026. Apex (homepage, terms of use, risk disclosure, help center) shows dollar compensation totals but no pass or success rate. FundingPips (homepage, terms, Prime terms, help center) shows reward-split percentages but no pass or success rate. All percentages are firm-reported and unaudited.

How to read these numbers
- Attempts vs people. “Of all Trading Tests” or “of evaluation accounts” counts attempts. “Of individual participants” counts people. The same firm can be 17% on one and 40% on the other. Don’t compare one firm’s attempt rate with another firm’s people rate.
- Different periods. Calendar years, half-years, a 12-month window, and one with no dates at all. We don’t average them into an “industry pass rate”, because the definitions don’t match.
- Funded mostly means simulated. MyFundedFutures says its results “occurred solely within a simulated environment”. Topstep says its figures cover both simulated and live trading. A payout from a funded account is the money that matters. A pass on its own isn’t.
- Nobody checks these. None of the disclosures we quote says the figures were audited. A higher number can mean easier rules, better traders, or different counting.
Methodology
On 2 October 2026 we fetched the homepage of each of the 10 firms, plus the disclaimer, FAQ, terms and help pages that our firm source map lists for each one. We searched them for pass, success, payout and live-account rates. For history, we used the Wayback Machine CDX API to list captures of each firm’s homepage from January 2023 onward: one capture per month, then every distinct capture around each change. We searched each capture for the same wording. Every figure in the table is quoted exactly as the firm wrote it. We record the firm’s own definition and period and don’t re-calculate anything. Where a firm publishes nothing, the row says “No rate published (checked 2026-10-02)”. We never put an estimate in its place.
Limits: we checked homepages, disclaimers, FAQs and terms, not every blog post, video or social account. A figure published only in a newsletter or on YouTube won’t be here. Apex and FundingPips block automated access, so we checked their live pages by hand in a browser and used archives for their history. Archive captures are snapshots. A figure can appear or vanish between two captures, so a first or last “seen” date is a bound, not an exact date. We keep a dated HTML copy and a hash of every page we quote. We re-check weekly alongside our rule-change log. Read the full site methodology.
Correction: some of our earlier pages, including the true-cost calculator, described MyFundedFutures’ 20.35% as the only pass rate any firm we cover had published. That was wrong: Topstep, Take Profit Trader, Tradeify and Apex have all published one. This registry replaces those statements.

Common questions
What percentage of prop firm traders pass the evaluation?
There isn't one industry number. Among the firms we track that publish one, the share of evaluation attempts passed ranges from 16.8% (Topstep, 2025) and 17.2% (Tradeify, Aug 2025-Jul 2026) to 36.22% (Take Profit Trader, 2025). Counted by people rather than attempts, the share who got funded at least once is higher: 51.8% at Topstep and 40.3% at Tradeify. All figures are firm-reported and unaudited.
Which prop firms publish a pass rate?
As of 2 October 2026, Take Profit Trader, Topstep, Tradeify and MyFundedFutures show pass-rate figures on their own sites. Apex Trader Funding showed a 43.13% figure for January-September 2023 until at least August 2025, but no longer shows a rate (checked 2 October 2026). We found no published rate from FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, FundingPips or Goat Funded Trader.
Why does Topstep say both 16.8% and 51.8%?
They count different things. 16.8% is the share of Trading Combines started in 2025 that were passed (attempts). 51.8% is the share of individual people who got to the Funded Level in at least one of their Combines. People who fail often buy another Combine, so the per-person number is higher.
Did MyFundedFutures remove its pass rate?
It removed the dated one. Its site used to say 20.35% of evaluation accounts passed between 1 January 2024 and 1 July 2025. That text was gone by August 2026. The site now says 19.97% of evaluation participants passed during 'the applicable measurement period' and doesn't say which period.
Does FTMO publish a pass rate?
Not that we could find (checked 2 October 2026). FTMO's homepage says it has 4.5M+ customers and has paid $650M+ in rewards, but gives no pass rate or number of traders paid.
How many funded traders actually get paid?
Firms that publish it: 33.3% of Topstep's funded-level participants got a payout in 2025, 28.5% at Tradeify (Aug 2025-Jul 2026), and 39.2% at MyFundedFutures (period not stated). Firm-reported and unaudited.
