Prop trading accounts

What is the ultimate success rate statistical benchmark for retail traders attempting to maintain a funded futures account for over 180 days?

By Easy Money Scanner · Educational reference · Not investment advice

The short answer

No audited, universal success-rate statistic exists for retail traders sustaining funded futures accounts beyond 180 days; claims vary and are largely unverified publicly.

How it works

Most prop firms do not publish independently audited long-term trader survival data, so any specific percentage figure should be treated with skepticism.

An example

A firm's marketing cites an unaudited pass-rate figure.

Risk & limitations

No regulator verifies these statistics; avoid treating them as fact.

Examples are hypothetical, not trade recommendations. US contract and regulatory references do not automatically apply in Canada. Rules, margin requirements and broker policies can change; confirm them with the relevant authority and your broker.
