Halcyon Trader Funding
PropScore rates and ranks every futures prop firm using a precise five-point scoring system. Instantly compare payout splits, drawdown rules, and fees to find the firm that fits your style.
Commissions are calculated per contract, per round trip and include exchange fees, NFA fees, clearing fees, and platform commission. Halcyon says fees vary by product type and are based on default/free membership tiers from platform partners, meaning they may be higher than premium platform or private brokerage rates.
Accounts are day-trading only: all positions and orders must be closed by 4:45 PM EST, and simulated brokerage accounts can fail if not flat by then. Core rules include profit targets, trailing or EOD drawdown, minimum trading days, contract limits, inactivity rules, and prohibited conduct such as platform exploitation, spoofing, flipping trades, coordinated trading, VPN use to bypass restrictions, and over 250 total contracts per day across micros/minis
For both evaluation and funded accounts, Halcyon states: no consistency rule and no daily loss limits on any plan. However, their terms still flag “erratic or inconsistent trading behaviours,” including windfall trading, making 80–100% of profits in one trade or one day, overtrading, and inconsistent sizing as behaviour that can lead to action or bans.
After passing the funded stage, traders move into a Simulated Brokerage Account at no extra charge, where initial reward eligibility requires 8 active trading days, and subsequent rewards are available every 8 trading days. Live brokerage rewards are processed every 24 hours, Monday–Friday, subject to review, and live brokerage accounts pay 100% of net profits to the trader.

I started with this firm when they first came out and since then they've kept improving themselves and their accounts. I think that their accounts are the best in the industry.
I started using this firm because of the testimonials i've seen online for them. So far the prime accounts have been my favorite to trade and now that they have Tradesea, its even better. I would highly say that you should give them a try
These guys have been around a while now and I'm in their discord. If theres ever an issue, they fix it right away. I trade with them for Rithmic but i wish they had tradovate I recomend them!
I had a really good experience with Halcyon Trading. Everything felt simple and easy to follow, which I appreciated because trading can feel confusing sometimes. The team was helpful, professional, and quick to answer my questions. Overall, I felt comfortable using them and would recommend them to others.
The easy process of pay outs
nothing, everything is perfect!
Very straightforward path to getting payouts. I’ve gotten several now and have never been denied. The whole team is very helpful.
Fast payouts

Great firm, I love the look and feel of this firm. Whenever i ask a question on discord it always gets answered. I wish they had tradovate though :(
Discord community, visual look
No Tradovate
I’ve had a good experience with Halcyon so far. What stood out the most to me was the support they actually get back to you quick, and it doesn’t feel like you’re talking to a bot or getting copy and paste answers. Going from the eval to the reward account was smooth for me too. Got paid out in 3 days after I submitted the request.
Halcyon has the best looking software and interface. I can always find whatever i need to do without even contracting support. When i've had to contact support, they have been very fast with their replies
Love the user Interface and ease of use
I've used a lot of prop firms but they all have such strict rules. The reason why I love this prop is because they have very flexible rules! Their customer support also helps resolve things very quickly.
very little rules when it comes to the accounts
Honestly nothing so far
