Insights
The unit economics no firm dashboard will show you — what a funded account really costs, what a payout costs to produce, and whether the whole endeavor is paying for itself.

The money race
Cumulative fees vs cumulative payouts — the day the green line crosses the red one is the day this stopped being an expensive hobby.
▬ cumulative fees · ▬ cumulative payouts
ROI progression
The same race as a single ratio — the curve crossing zero is the day prop firms stopped being a net cost.
Payouts by firm
Who actually pays, how much per check, and how fast — measured from your own payouts, not their marketing.
| Firm | Payouts | Total | Avg check | Avg speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Topstep | 5 | $11,600 | $2,320 | 7 days |
| Apex | 4 | $10,300 | $2,575 | 8 days |
| MFFU | 3 | $3,950 | $1,317 | 8 days |
| Tradeify | 2 | $2,850 | $1,425 | 8 days |
| Alpha | 2 | $2,350 | $1,175 | 8 days |
| Lucid | 1 | $950 | $950 | 8 days |
Consistency check
Every major firm caps how much of your total profit can come from a single day before approving a payout — published thresholds range roughly 20-50%, and vary by plan, stage, and even purchase date within the same firm. Firmtrack won't guess your specific number, but here's the real ratio from your own trades — check it against your firm's actual published rule for your exact plan.
