What I Like & What Could Be Better
My Experience
The founder connection is what initially got my attention. Illimar Mattus co-founded Tickmill — FCA and CySEC-regulated broker, 100,000+ clients, $5 billion in monthly trading volume. That's not the typical prop firm backstory. Most prop firms are started by marketers who learned what "drawdown" means six months before launching. Mattus came from institutional broker infrastructure. Different animal.
I'd been hearing the name in futures trading circles for a while. The Trustpilot was sitting at 4.3 out of 5 across 737 reviews. Not spectacular — FTMO runs a 4.4, MyFundedFutures hits 4.6 — but solidly in the "legit firm that actually pays" range. More importantly, 78% of those reviews were five-star. The negative ones? Mostly about the €129 activation fee surprise and the consistency rule. Fair complaints. Not fraud indicators.
What pushed me to actually test it was the Daily Pause feature. I'd never seen another prop firm do this. Hit your daily loss limit and instead of losing everything... your account just freezes until tomorrow? That sounded too good. Had to see it myself.
What Hit Me First
Three things stood out immediately.
The platform quality. Rithmic data feed is the gold standard for retail futures. But The Trading Pit doesn't just give you Rithmic — they support Quantower, ATAS, Bookmap, and Sierra Chart as compatible front-ends. If you're an order flow trader who lives in footprint charts and delta analysis, this is one of maybe three prop firms where your tools actually work properly. Most competitors either force you onto some white-labeled junk platform or offer NinjaTrader and nothing else.
The account complexity. This isn't a "pick your size and go" prop firm. Four distinct programs with different drawdown types, different scaling mechanisms, different rule sets. Futures Prime uses trailing EOD drawdown that caps at starting balance. CFD Prime uses static drawdown that never moves. Futures Classic (discontinued but grandfathered users still trade it) uses trailing on highest intraday balance — way harsher. Picking the wrong program means fighting rules that don't fit your style. That complexity is both a strength and a trap.
The scaling path. Futures Prime automatically bumps your contract limits at $2,500 and $5,000 cumulative profit. No applications. No level-ups. No waiting for support tickets. The system checks at 16:00 CT every day and adjusts. On a $100K account, you go from 3 contracts to 4 at $2,500, then 4 to 5 at $5,000. With 5 ES contracts and even a modest $500 per contract per month, that's $2,500 gross profit — $2,000 at 80% split. Multiply by up to 5 allowed accounts and the math starts getting real.
Where I Am Now
I'm running Futures Prime evaluations alongside my other funded accounts. The $100K at €189 plus €129 activation comes to €318 total ($342 USD) — mid-tier pricing. More than MyFundedFutures ($197) or Apex ($167), less than FTMO ($540).
The Daily Pause has already saved me once. Bad entry on NQ during a choppy session, ate through most of my daily loss limit. Account froze. I was frustrated in the moment — but the next morning I came back with a clear head and traded clean. At any other firm, that account would've been dead and I'd be repurchasing an evaluation.
Honest take: The Trading Pit isn't the cheapest. It isn't the simplest. And the 40% consistency rule during challenges genuinely annoys me — I had a day where a strong ES trend handed me a $3,200 profit and I watched my target inflate in real-time. But the platform quality is top-tier for futures, the Daily Pause is legitimately unique, and the payout speed has been exactly as advertised. Two to three business days, money in the account.
Account Types & Pricing
Four Programs, Very Different Rules
The Trading Pit runs four programs. This isn't cosmetic variety — each program has fundamentally different drawdown types, scaling mechanics, and trading restrictions. Choosing wrong isn't just suboptimal, it actively works against you.
Futures Prime (flagship): The intraday futures trader's program. Daily Pause, automatic scaling, Rithmic platform. No overnight holds.
CFD Prime (current CFD option): Forex, indices, commodities, crypto on MT5. Static drawdown. Overnight allowed. 60-day challenge window.
Futures Classic (discontinued): Only available to traders who purchased before discontinuation. 10-level progression, overnight holds allowed, immediate breach on daily loss — harsher everywhere except overnight flexibility.
Stocks (launched 2025): $25K only, 70/30 split, TradingView integration. Not available to US or Canadian residents.
Futures Prime — The One Most People Should Look At
Contract limits in earning phase start lower than challenge: $50K starts at 2 contracts (scales to 4), $100K starts at 3 (scales to 5), $150K starts at 5 (scales to 10). Scaling triggers automatically at 16:00 CT when you cross cumulative profit thresholds of $2,500 and $5,000.
Challenge duration: 30 days. Minimum 3 trading days. 40% consistency rule applies.
CFD Prime — For Forex and Indices Traders
Key difference from Futures Prime: no €129 activation fee. No consistency rule. Static drawdown means your floor never trails — predictable risk math that doesn't punish winning days. Scaling works differently too: 25% balance increases every time you hit three milestones (2 months active, 2 payouts received, 10% cumulative profit). No cap on how many times you can scale.
CFD Prime runs on MT5 through GBE Brokers or FXFlat — both German-regulated. Leverage up to 1:50 on forex. News trading restricted on $100K and $200K accounts only.
Which Account I'd Pick
For futures traders: Futures Prime $100K at €318 total ($342 USD). The Daily Pause alone justifies the activation fee. You get Rithmic, ATAS, Bookmap — real tools. Scaling from 3 to 5 contracts happens within weeks if you're consistently profitable.
For forex/CFD traders: CFD Prime $50K at €199. No activation fee, static drawdown, 60 days to pass. The static floor makes risk management dead simple — your drawdown calculation never changes until you scale.
For everyone: skip the Stocks program for now. $25K only, 70% split (versus 80% everywhere else), no proven scaling plan, and not available to US or Canadian residents. Wait for more data.
The Real Cost Math
Futures Prime $100K: €189 challenge + €129 activation = €318 ($342). Challenge fee refunded with first payout on Futures Classic (not Prime). If you fail and reset: add €149 for the reset. Total with one failure: €467 ($503).
Compare that to MyFundedFutures at $197 with no activation fee and Apex at $167. The Trading Pit is nearly 2x more expensive. What you're paying for: Daily Pause, Rithmic/ATAS/Bookmap support, and the most sophisticated scaling system in futures prop trading. Whether that premium is worth it depends entirely on whether you'll actually use those tools.
Trading Rules You Need To Know
The Daily Pause — Why It Actually Matters
Futures Prime only. This is the headliner.
Hit your daily loss limit and your account freezes until the next trading day at 16:00 CT. Not terminated. Frozen. You come back tomorrow. Your loss counts against your overall profit target, but you still have an account to trade.
Here's what this looks like in practice on a $100K account with a $2,000 Daily Pause threshold. You enter long 3 ES at 4850. Market drops to 4840. That's -10 points times 3 contracts times $50 per point = -$1,500. You close. Then you take another shot, lose another $500. Total daily loss: $2,000. Account freezes at 10:30 AM. You're done for the day.
At most prop firms? That account is dead. You're repurchasing an evaluation. At The Trading Pit, you open Quantower the next morning and your account is live again. Your max drawdown on $100K is $3,000 (floor at $97,000). You've used $2,000 of it. Still alive.
The critical distinction: Daily Pause is not the same as max drawdown. You can hit Daily Pause multiple days in a row without breaching — as long as your total equity stays above the max drawdown floor. Two bad days of $2,000 losses each still leaves you with $96,000 equity against a $97,000 floor. Third day you can't lose more than $1,000 or you're done. But you had three shots instead of one.
Drawdown Types — Know Which One You're Trading
Futures Prime earning phase: Trailing EOD. Drawdown trails based on your end-of-day balance at 16:00 CT — not intraday peaks. Make $10K one day, give back $5K during the session but close at +$6K? Your drawdown only trails to the +$6K close, not the +$10K peak. This is way more forgiving than trailing on highest intraday balance. And here's the safety valve — once your trailing floor reaches your original starting balance, it stops trailing permanently. Meaning after you've made enough profit, you're essentially unbreach-able under normal conditions.
Futures Prime challenge phase: Static. Floor never moves. Simple.
CFD Prime (all phases): Static. Floor never moves. Simplest drawdown in the entire firm.
Futures Classic (grandfathered only): Trailing on highest intraday balance. The harshest version. Your account hits $108K during a winning trade, drawdown immediately trails. You close at $106K and your floor is based on the $108K peak, not your close. This is why Futures Classic was discontinued.
The 40% Consistency Rule
During Futures Prime and Stocks challenges only. Not CFD Prime. Not funded accounts.
No single trading day can contribute more than 40% of your profit target. If you exceed 40%, the excess gets added to your profit target.
$100K Futures Prime example: your target is $6,000. Daily limit = $2,400 (40% of $6,000). You make $3,500 on a great ES trend day. Excess = $1,100. New profit target = $7,100. You now need to make $7,100 total, not $6,000. And that extra $1,100 from your big day? It counts toward the new target, but you still have $600 more to go than you would've without the rule.
How to manage it: stop trading at 35% of your target ($2,100 on a $6,000 target). If you're in a runner and passing 40%, close 60% of the position today and hold the rest for tomorrow. Track your daily P&L in real-time — the dashboard updates but don't rely on checking it after the damage is done.
Once funded: the 40% rule vanishes. Make 100% of your monthly profit in one trade if you want. Nobody cares.
Everything That Gets You Killed
Immediate account termination, no exceptions, no appeals: HFT (50+ trades per hour, sub-10-second holds). Any form of arbitrage — latency, reverse, or statistical. Martingale strategies, including accidental Martingale (averaging down with increasing size: 1 lot, then 2 lots, then 3 lots = flagged). Grid trading. Copy trading from external signals (Telegram groups, Discord rooms, paid services). Inter-account hedging on correlated instruments — long NQ on Account A and short ES on Account B gets flagged even though they're different products because they're 90%+ correlated. Emulator software.
The inter-account hedging detection is aggressive. Spacing entries by hours or using different position sizes doesn't hide it. The correlation analysis catches inverse P&L patterns across your accounts.
Platforms You Can Trade With
Futures: Rithmic Is the Real Deal
Rithmic provides direct exchange feeds from CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX at 5-15ms latency. This isn't demo data dressed up as real-time. The Trading Pit pays for live Rithmic feeds and replicates actual market conditions. Same infrastructure used by professional prop shops.
Supported front-ends for Futures Prime and Classic:
Quantower — the default recommendation. Modern interface, order flow tools, DOM, heatmaps. Best for general futures trading.
ATAS — specialized for volume profile and footprint chart traders. If you trade cumulative volume delta, this is your tool.
Bookmap — visual liquidity heatmaps. Best for scalpers who trade around visible resting orders.
Sierra Chart — professional charting with deep indicator libraries. Best for algo traders building custom strategies.
NinjaTrader and Tradovate — Futures Classic only (not available on Prime).
CFDs: MT5 Through Regulated Brokers
CFD Prime runs MetaTrader 5 through GBE Brokers (BaFin-regulated, Germany) or FXFlat (also German-regulated). 50+ forex pairs, 20+ indices, commodities, and crypto. Full MQL5 EA support. Mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Typical spreads: EUR/USD around 0.1-0.3 pips, GBP/USD 0.3-0.8 pips, gold around 15-25 cents. Standard retail CFD execution — not as fast as Rithmic's direct exchange routing, but competitive with other MT5 prop firms. Expect 2-5 pips of slippage during high-impact news.
Stocks: TradingView Integration
Stocks program uses TradingView embedded in The Trading Pit's dashboard. S&P 500, NASDAQ-100, and major NYSE/NASDAQ listings — roughly 1,000+ stocks. Order routing through Interactive Brokers data feed (simulated, not live IB accounts). No per-trade commissions.
The Dashboard
All programs share a web dashboard at dashboard.thetradingpit.com. Real-time balance updates every 5 seconds, drawdown threshold tracking, scaling status, payout requests, economic calendar with news restriction window indicators for CFD accounts, and CSV export for tax reporting. The UI is genuinely good — clean, fast, modern. Not the clunky admin panel experience most prop firms offer.
My Strategy To Regular Payouts
After digging into every program, the ideal Trading Pit trader is a futures day trader or scalper who uses order flow or volume profile analysis, trades the US session, and occasionally blows through daily loss limits on volatile days.
That last part matters most. The Daily Pause exists specifically for traders who are good but aggressive — profitable over weeks and months, but prone to taking one too many shots on a bad morning. If that sounds like you, The Trading Pit is literally the only firm that won't punish your worst day with permanent termination.
For CFD traders, the static drawdown on CFD Prime is the draw. You never recalculate your floor. Risk 1% per trade on $100K = $1,000 per trade. That math stays the same whether you're up $15K or back to breakeven. That predictability is underrated.
How I'm Approaching It
Futures Prime $100K. Trading ES and NQ during the New York session — 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM ET. I focus on the first 90 minutes where volume and volatility give clean order flow signals.
Position sizing: never more than 2 contracts on the base tier (I have 3 allowed, but keeping one in reserve means I can take two shots per day without touching Daily Pause). Daily loss budget: $1,200 max, well under the $2,000 Daily Pause threshold. That gives me breathing room for one bad trade plus one more attempt without freezing the account.
Consistency rule management: I cap my daily profit target at 35% of the challenge target. On a $6,000 target, I stop at $2,100 profit for the day. If I'm in a runner above that, I'll partial close and hold the rest for tomorrow's session. Annoying? Sure. But it prevents target inflation, which is worse.
Common Mistakes I See
Trading max contracts from Day 1 in the earning phase. You have 3 contracts on a $100K earning account. Using all 3 on every trade means one bad entry eats 60-70% of your Daily Pause budget. Start with 2. Scale to 3 only when you've built a buffer.
Ignoring the trailing EOD drawdown in earning phase. Traders get excited after a $5,000 profit run and forget their floor trailed up to $97,000. Then a $4,000 drawdown puts them at $101,000 equity with a $100,000 floor and suddenly one bad trade ends everything. Check the dashboard every morning. Know your exact floor before you place a single order.
Placing pending orders before news events on CFD Prime $100K/$200K accounts. Your buy stop placed at 8:00 AM that triggers at 8:29 AM (within the 2-minute NFP window) is a violation — even though you placed it 30 minutes early. Cancel all pending orders 5 minutes before restricted events.
Running opposite positions on correlated instruments across multiple accounts. The hedging detection doesn't care that NQ and ES are "different products." They're 90%+ correlated. Opposite positions across accounts = both accounts terminated.
Trust & Legitimacy: What You Need To Know
Liechtenstein registration. The Trading Pit Challenge GmbH (FL-0002.693.417-1) operates under EEA membership with FMA jurisdiction. Five legal entities across Liechtenstein, Cyprus, and Seychelles. This isn't a fly-by-night operation registered in a jurisdiction where "regulation" means filing a single form. Liechtenstein is an EU-adjacent regulatory environment with actual legal accountability.
Founder pedigree. Illimar Mattus co-founded Tickmill — FCA/CySEC-regulated, $5 billion monthly trading volume, 100,000+ clients. That's institutional finance experience, not marketing-bro entrepreneurship. The connections to hedge fund and asset management networks are real and relevant — especially for the Level 10 pathway.
Pinorena Capital backing. Private investment firm providing capital behind the operation. Not publicly disclosed on the website, but confirmed in company materials.
Payout track record. $4 million+ paid out, 10,000+ active monthly accounts, 450,000+ trades executed. Trustpilot: 4.3/5 across 737 reviews, 78% five-star. The praise clusters around payout speed (2-3 days), platform quality, transparent rules, and support responsiveness. Award history includes "Most Transparent Prop Firm 2024" from Forex Prop Reviews.
What Deserves Scrutiny
The €129 activation fee is a communication problem. It's in the terms. It covers Rithmic live data feed costs for the earning account (challenge uses demo feed). That's actually a reasonable expense. But 52% of negative Trustpilot reviews mention it as a surprise — which means the firm isn't surfacing it clearly enough during the purchase process.
Inter-account hedging detection is overaggressive. Multiple Trustpilot reviews report account terminations for trading NQ on one account and ES on another in different directions. These are technically different instruments. The Trading Pit treats them as hedging because they're 90%+ correlated. Reasonable from a risk management perspective. Frustrating from a trader's perspective. If you run multiple accounts, trade the same direction or completely different asset classes.
Compliance review delays. Most payouts process in 2-3 days. Roughly 10% take longer due to manual compliance review — checking for prohibited strategies. Traders who trade with unusual patterns (many small scalps, frequent reversals) get flagged more often. The automated system is conservative, and human review takes time.
Level 10 hedge fund pathway is unverified. The Trading Pit promotes management meetings, formal contracts, and hedge fund introductions for traders who reach Level 10 on Futures Classic. Sounds compelling. Zero public case studies. Zero verified examples. The firm launched in 2020, so even early adopters may not have completed the full 10-level progression yet. Treat this as aspirational, not guaranteed.
Reduced contracts in earning phase confuses traders. Going from 10 challenge contracts to 3 earning contracts on a $100K Futures Prime account looks like a downgrade. It isn't — it's a conservative starting point with automatic scaling back to 5 within weeks. But the optics are bad, and 29% of negative reviews mention it.
How This Firm Compares To Other Ones
Where The Trading Pit Wins
Daily Pause. No other major prop firm offers this. MyFundedFutures breaches your account the moment you hit the daily loss limit. So does Apex. The Trading Pit freezes your account and lets you try again tomorrow. For aggressive traders who occasionally push limits, this single feature is worth the price premium.
Platform depth. All three firms use Rithmic, but The Trading Pit's full support for ATAS, Bookmap, Quantower, and Sierra Chart gives more front-end flexibility. If your edge depends on specific order flow visualization, The Trading Pit is the most accommodating.
Multi-asset access. MyFundedFutures and Apex are futures-only. The Trading Pit also offers CFD Prime (forex, indices, commodities, crypto on MT5) and Stocks (TradingView). One firm, multiple markets. Convenient if you trade across asset classes.
Automatic scaling. No applications, no requests. Hit $2,500 cumulative profit and your contract limit increases at 16:00 CT the same day. Clean. MyFundedFutures and Apex both require either balance thresholds or paid add-ons to scale.
Where The Trading Pit Loses
Price. €318 ($342) for a $100K Futures Prime account versus $197 at MyFundedFutures and $167 at Apex. The Trading Pit costs nearly double. That activation fee does real damage to the cost comparison.
Profit split. 80% flat. Apex offers 100% with the Performance Account add-on. MyFundedFutures goes up to 90% at higher tiers. On a $10,000 payout, you're keeping $8,000 at The Trading Pit versus $9,000-$10,000 elsewhere. Over a year of consistent trading, that gap compounds.
No overnight holds on Futures Prime. Both MyFundedFutures and Apex allow overnight and weekend positions. If you're a swing trader who needs to hold ES or NQ for 2-5 days, The Trading Pit's Futures Prime literally doesn't support your strategy.
Consistency rule during evaluation. The 40% cap on single-day profit during challenges doesn't exist at MyFundedFutures or Apex. If you're the type of trader who passes evaluations in 2-3 explosive days, The Trading Pit punishes that approach by inflating your target.
Which Firm for Which Trader
The Trading Pit: Best for aggressive intraday futures traders who value Daily Pause protection, use ATAS/Bookmap order flow tools, and want multi-asset flexibility across futures and CFDs.
MyFundedFutures: Best for futures traders who want the lowest entry cost with the highest Trustpilot rating, need overnight holds, and don't need Daily Pause because they manage risk conservatively.
Apex Trader Funding: Best for traders who want maximum accounts (up to 20), 100% profit splits, and the cheapest entry point — especially during their frequent sales.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Trading Pit legit?
Registered in Liechtenstein as The Trading Pit Challenge GmbH (FL-0002.693.417-1) under EEA membership. Founded by Illimar Mattus, co-founder of FCA/CySEC-regulated Tickmill. Backed by Pinorena Capital. Trustpilot 4.3/5 across 737 reviews with 78% five-star ratings. $4 million+ paid out to traders. Legitimate firm with real payouts and European legal accountability.
What is the Daily Pause and how does it work?
Futures Prime exclusive. When you hit your daily loss limit, your account freezes until the next trading day instead of terminating permanently. You can't place trades until 16:00 CT the next day. Your loss still counts against max drawdown, but you keep your account. No other major prop firm offers this feature.
How does the 40% consistency rule work?
During Futures Prime and Stocks challenges only. No single day's profit can exceed 40% of your profit target. Exceed it, and the surplus gets added to your target. $100K account with $6,000 target: daily cap is $2,400. Make $3,500 and your new target becomes $7,100. Rule disappears completely once funded.
How fast are payouts at The Trading Pit?
Typical processing: 2-3 business days from request to funds in account. Review takes 1 business day, payment processing takes an additional 24 business hours. Methods include bank wire (SEPA/SWIFT), Wise, crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT), Skrill, and Neteller. Minimum $100. Fastest reported: 18 hours. About 10% take longer due to compliance review flags.
What's the difference between Futures Prime and CFD Prime?
Futures Prime: Rithmic platform, 30-day challenge, Daily Pause, trailing EOD drawdown (funded), automatic contract scaling, €129 activation fee, no overnight holds, 40% consistency rule during eval. CFD Prime: MT5 platform, 60-day challenge, static drawdown (never trails), 25% balance scaling at milestones, no activation fee, no consistency rule, overnight holds allowed, news restrictions on $100K/$200K accounts.
What happens if I breach drawdown?
Account permanently terminated. No second chances, no warnings, no appeals process. Applies to both daily loss limit breach (Futures Classic and CFD — Futures Prime uses Daily Pause instead) and max drawdown breach (all programs). You'd need to purchase a new evaluation to start again.
Can I hold positions overnight?
Futures Prime: No. All positions must close by 15:55 CT daily. No overnight, no weekend holds. CFD Prime: Yes. Overnight and weekday holds allowed. Close by Friday market close for weekends. Futures Classic (grandfathered): Yes. Overnight allowed, close by Friday 16:00 CT.
What platforms does The Trading Pit support?
Futures: Rithmic data feed with Quantower, ATAS, Bookmap, Sierra Chart (Prime and Classic), plus NinjaTrader and Tradovate (Classic only). CFDs: MetaTrader 5 via GBE Brokers or FXFlat. Stocks: TradingView embedded in dashboard. Each program is locked to its platform — no cross-program platform sharing.
How does scaling work on Futures Prime?
Automatic. System checks cumulative profit (minus payouts) daily at 16:00 CT. Cross $2,500: contract limit increases one tier. Cross $5,000: increases again to maximum. $100K account: 3 → 4 → 5 contracts. $150K account: 5 → 7 → 10 contracts. No manual requests required.
Is there an activation fee?
Futures Prime: Yes, €129 after passing the challenge. Covers Rithmic live data feed costs for your earning account. CFD Prime: No activation fee. Stocks: No activation fee. Futures Classic (grandfathered): No activation fee.
What are the prohibited trading strategies?
Seven banned strategies across all programs: HFT (50+ trades per hour, sub-10-second holds), any form of arbitrage, Martingale (including accidental patterns of increasing position sizes after losses), grid trading, copy trading from external signals, inter-account hedging on same or correlated instruments, and emulator software. Violation means immediate termination and forfeited profits.
Can I use Expert Advisors and bots?
Yes, with conditions. EAs must be your own — coded by you or a developer you hired. No public marketplace EAs that replicate known signal services. CFD Classic accounts (grandfathered) have a 1-minute minimum hold time that affects some scalping EAs. The Trading Pit provides no technical support for automation. Your bot's behavior is your responsibility.
How does The Trading Pit compare to MyFundedFutures?
The Trading Pit wins on Daily Pause protection, platform depth (ATAS/Bookmap), and multi-asset access (futures + CFDs + stocks). MyFundedFutures wins on price ($197 vs $342), profit split (up to 90% vs 80%), overnight holds, no consistency rule, and Trustpilot rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Choose The Trading Pit if Daily Pause and order flow tools matter. Choose MyFundedFutures for the lowest cost and most forgiving rules.
What is the Level 10 pathway?
Available to grandfathered Futures Classic traders only. Complete all 10 progression levels and receive an invitation to meet management. Includes performance review, long-term partnership contract, and introductions to hedge funds and asset management firms through Illimar Mattus's Tickmill network. No public case studies or verified completions exist yet. Treat as aspirational.
Is The Trading Pit worth it in 2026?
For intraday futures traders who use order flow tools and occasionally push risk limits: yes. The Daily Pause plus Rithmic/ATAS/Bookmap platform support creates a combination no other firm matches. For budget-conscious traders, swing traders needing overnight holds, or anyone who doesn't use advanced order flow: MyFundedFutures or Apex offer better value at lower cost. The premium pricing needs to be justified by actually using the premium features.
