PropShop Trader 
US Firm Overview
PropShop Trader is a newer entrant in the prop trading space that has quickly differentiated itself with a hybrid futures and forex framework and a clear progression path from simulated to real corporate capital. The firm operates primarily as a futures prop firm but offers a unique multi-asset approach through its Tickblaze platform with Rithmic connectivity, allowing traders to work with correlated assets across both futures and forex markets.
The firm offers up to $500,000 funded accounts — one of the highest maximums in the industry — through two distinct paths: the Warrior Path (traditional evaluation) and the Gladiator Path (instant funding with no evaluation required). This dual-path model gives traders the choice between proving their skills through a challenge or paying a premium for immediate access to funded capital.
What’s truly compelling about PropShop Trader is their Real Prop Trading Account (RPTA) transition. After demonstrating consistency through several “Benchmarks” in the Gladiator Phase, traders can transition to trading with real corporate capital, receiving a signing bonus and a profit split of up to 90%.

Consistency Rules
No consistency rule is required to pass the initial Warrior evaluation. However, a 30% consistency rule applies to funded account payouts — no single day’s net realized profit can exceed 30% of total realized profit since the last approved payout.
Firm Rules
- Warrior Path: Traditional evaluation with profit targets and drawdown limits
