The profit split is the share of gains a funded trader keeps. It is the number every prop firm leads with, and in this market it has stopped carrying information: of the eight firms in this index that publish a split, the minimum, the median and the maximum are all 90%. This page is about what to read instead.
The measurement
Topstep publishes keep 90% of your profits. Take Profit Trader publishes a 90/10 profit split. Bulenox publishes keep up to 90% of profits. My Funded Futures publishes up to a 90/10 profit split. Tradeify publishes keep 90% of profit. TradeDay publishes keep up to 90% of the profit. Funded Futures Family publishes you keep 90% of every payout you receive. OneUp Trader publishes a 90% split option. Eight firms, one number, no spread at all.
What the identical number tells you
It tells you the split is a competitive floor rather than a product feature. Once every firm advertises 90%, no firm can win on it and none can afford to sit below it, so the differentiation moves elsewhere: to the drawdown rule, to the payout cadence, to the treatment of the first payout, and to price. A comparison that ranks these firms on the split is ranking them on the one term they have already agreed.
The terms that do carry information
First payout treatment: OneUp Trader publishes that funded traders keep 100% of their first $10,000 of profits, while Bulenox, whose FAQ states a 90/10 split, publishes no such exemption. For most funded traders, who are paid a small number of times if at all, that is worth more than the percentage applied afterwards. Then the drawdown shape, which decides whether there is a payout at all, and the cadence, which ranges from daily at three firms to weekly at Earn2Trade.
Questions people ask about profit split
Is a 90% profit split good?
It is the market standard among the firms in this index rather than a distinguishing offer. Every one of the eight that publishes a split publishes 90%.
Does anyone offer more than 90%?
One firm here effectively does on the first tranche: OneUp Trader publishes that funded traders keep 100% of their first $10,000 of profits before the split applies. Bulenox's FAQ states a 90/10 split with no such exemption.
What does up to 90% mean?
That the figure attaches to particular plans or conditions rather than to every account at the firm. The plan page, not the headline, carries the term you would actually get.
