This site covers prop firms serving traders in the United States on futures, and only that. This page sets out which firms are in the index, what the US position rests on, and why the scope is narrower than the phrase prop firms USA usually returns.
The firms
Ten US futures firms are covered: Topstep, Take Profit Trader, Bulenox, My Funded Futures, TradeDay, Tradeify, OneUp Trader, Earn2Trade, Uprofit and Funded Futures Family. Each carries terms quoted from its own pages with the date read. Five more, including Apex Trader Funding, cannot be read from our infrastructure and are named with the reason rather than omitted quietly.
What the US position rests on
These firms operate on the basis that a paid evaluation on a simulated account is not a controlled investment and the firm is not the counterparty to a retail derivative. That is why the accounts are simulated at every stage, and it is the reason this site covers futures and simulated evaluations only. Futures markets themselves are regulated in the US by the CFTC with the NFA as the self-regulatory body; the evaluation product sits outside that perimeter rather than inside it. Nothing here is legal advice.
Why the scope excludes CFD and spot-FX offers
A CFD or spot-FX prop offer is a different product with a different regulatory answer, so it does not appear on this site at all, in any market. That is a deliberate absence rather than a narrowing: the position that supports a simulated futures evaluation does not carry over, and rather than take a view we have not tested, the site does not serve that buyer.

Do US prop firms accept traders from every state?

Are these accounts regulated?
The futures markets are regulated by the CFTC, with the NFA as the self-regulatory organisation. The simulated evaluation product itself sits outside that perimeter.
