PropShopTrader 2026: The Complete Guide to Pro, Flex & Direct Accounts, Equities, Prediction Markets and Every Price

PropShopTrader has rebuilt its entire account lineup. Instead of a single evaluation model, traders now choose between three futures account types (Pro, Flex and Direct), stock trading accounts (Equities), a brand-new Prediction Markets program powered by the Polymarket API – and CFD / Forex accounts are on the way.

In this guide we break down every account, every price on both platforms, every drawdown, consistency and payout rule – and show you which account makes the most sense for your trading style. All numbers come straight from PropShopTrader's current account master (November 2026).

What's new at PropShopTrader in 2026

The four PropShopTrader programs

Futures: Pro vs Flex vs Direct at a glance

All three futures account types share the same core: an EOD trailing max drawdown, a 90% profit split, a $500 minimum payout, the same contract limits and a 30-day inactivity rule. The differences are in the evaluation, the daily loss limit, the consistency rule and the payout rhythm.

PropShopTrader Pro account

The Pro account is built for traders who hate daily loss limits. There is no daily loss limit in the evaluation or in the funded stage, no consistency rule during the evaluation and you only need one trading day to pass. Once funded, Pro has the fastest payout rhythm in the lineup – the first request after 3 days and then every 3 days – and the highest payout caps of the three futures accounts.

The trade-off: once you're funded, a 40% consistency rule applies. No single day may make up more than 40% of the profit you're requesting.

PropShopTrader Flex account

The Flex account is the cheapest way into PropShopTrader – the $25K Flex costs just $47.40 on Tickblaze in November. The evaluation needs at least 3 days and has a 40% consistency rule. Once you're funded, the consistency rule disappears. Instead you need a few solid profitable days before every payout (e.g. 5 days of $150+ on a $50K).

From $50K upward Flex has a static daily loss limit of 2.5% with a soft breach: if you hit it, you're done for the day, but the account is not failed. The $25K Flex has no daily loss limit at all.

PropShopTrader Direct account (instant funding)

The Direct account skips the evaluation completely. You pay once and start on a funded account immediately – ideal if you have a proven strategy and don't want to spend weeks in a challenge. Direct uses the same price on Tickblaze and Rithmic and is 25% off in November.

Rules: an EOD trailing max drawdown, a static daily loss limit with soft breach from $50K upward, and a 20% consistency rule – the strictest in the lineup, so spread your profits evenly. Payout caps rise from the 4th payout on the $50K–$150K accounts.

PropShopTrader payouts explained

The payout buffer

Before you can withdraw, your account needs a profit cushion above the starting balance – the payout buffer. On futures it is roughly your max drawdown plus $100:

Tickblaze vs Rithmic – which platform should you pick?

PropShopTrader offers every futures evaluation on two platforms. The rules are identical – only the price differs:

Rithmic is about 50% more expensive on Pro and roughly 58% more on Flex. Choose Rithmic only if you need it for your existing charting/execution setup (e.g. a Rithmic-connected platform you already use). Direct accounts cost the same on both platforms.

Best value: cost per $1,000 of drawdown

The fairest way to compare evaluation prices is to look at how much you pay for each $1,000 of max drawdown you get. Here are all Pro and Flex evaluations on Tickblaze at November prices, sorted from best to worst value:

Example: $50K Pro from evaluation to first payout

1. Buy the evaluation: $101.40 with the November discount (Tickblaze).
2. Pass: make $3,000 (6%) without dropping below the $2,000 EOD trailing drawdown. No daily loss limit, no consistency rule – one good day can be enough.
3. Funded: build at least $2,100 in profit (the payout buffer) while keeping your best day under 40% of total profit.
4. Request: after 3 days you can request your first payout – minimum $500, maximum $2,000 for the first one.
5. Get paid: with a 90% split, a full first payout of $2,000 means $1,800 to you – that's more than 17× the evaluation fee. From the second payout the cap rises to $2,500.

PropShopTrader pros & cons

Common mistakes to avoid

1. Ignoring the funded consistency rule. Passing Pro in one big day is allowed – but in the funded stage one monster day can block your payout under the 40% rule.
2. Forgetting the payout buffer. You can't withdraw until you've built the buffer (roughly max drawdown + $100) above your starting balance.
3. Treating a soft breach like a hard one – or the other way round. On Flex/Direct the daily loss limit only stops your day. On Equities it fails your account.
4. Paying for Rithmic when you don't need it. The rules are identical – Tickblaze is much cheaper.
5. Going inactive. 30 days without trading can cost you the account.
6. Not using the discount code. Enter PROPPED at checkout.
