Same "5% daily loss," different floors.

Every verified program in one table, with the floors a $100,000 account would have today at the default inputs (day-start balance $100,000; for higher-of firms, day-start equity $101,000 to show the anchor working). Programs sold in a fixed size (Topstep, FTMO Futures) are shown at that size. Every number is computed by the same engine as the calculators; every rule links to its source on the firm's own pages.

Four firms, one trader, four floors. FundingPips and The5ers anchor to the higher of balance and equity and take the percentage of that value; FTMO and FundedNext take a fixed percentage of initial capital from the day-start balance.

Amber "verified" badges mark programs where the firm's own pages disagree; the calculator page states the conflict and uses the tighter value. Programs that define their limits in dollars (Topstep, FTMO Futures) are shown with the dollar figure and its percentage of the account size; the worked floors use the $100,000 example, or the program's own size where it is sold in one. Rules are re-checked weekly; the last full re-verification was 2026-10-08. How we verify →
