A funded trader, not a copywriter
I’m Phat Tail Capital. I trade NQ and ES with order flow on Sierra Chart and Rithmic, and have for more than six years. The payouts on this page are my own, with the dashboard screenshots to prove them.
Firm rules are read from each firm’s help center and stored in one data file per firm. The compare table, the coupons page and this page all read the same file, so they cannot disagree, and every rule change we catch is dated on the tracker.

Questions traders ask first
Does code SPICY work at every prop firm?
It works at 14 partner firms, including Lucid Trading, Apex Trader Funding, Tradeify, Bulenox and TradeDay. FTMO Futures uses its own affiliate code. OneUp Trader is link only, with no code. The coupons page lists every firm and its code.
Which prop firm should I start with?
Start from how you trade, not from the discount. Three rules decide most of the fit: whether the drawdown trails end-of-day or intraday, how much of your profit one day is allowed to be, and whether your platform is supported. The compare table filters all 63 plans by those three, so you can cut the list to the few that fit before you look at codes.
What is a consistency rule, and how do I check mine?
It caps how much of your profit can come from a single day: best day divided by net profit has to stay under the firm’s threshold. On the plans we track that threshold runs from 20% to 55%. Paste your daily P&L into the consistency rule calculator to see where you stand and how much more profit you need if your best day is over.
Which prop firms work with Sierra Chart?
9 of the firms we track support Sierra Chart, including Lucid Trading, Apex Trader Funding, Tradeify and Bulenox. Each of them offers a Rithmic data feed, which is how Sierra Chart connects. I trade NQ and ES on Sierra Chart with Rithmic; the connection guide walks through the setup.
AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE: SpicyFutures earns a commission when you buy through our links or use code SPICY, at no extra cost to you. Partnerships never change how rules are reported.
RISK OF LOSS: Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss. Prop firm evaluations are paid products and most traders do not pass.
