The Trading Pit Overview
Everything you need to know at a glance.
The Trading Pit is a multi-asset proprietary trading firm offering both futures and CFD funding under one roof. The firm reports $16M+ paid out to traders, 10,000+ active monthly accounts, 450K+ trades a month, and traders in 180+ countries, and was named Best Multi-Asset Prop Firm 2025 by FundedTrading. Its lineup spans three evaluations — the 1-step Futures Prime Challenge and the CFD 1-Phase and CFD 2-Phase Challenges — all on a base 80/20 profit split. The operating entity is The Trading Pit Challenge GmbH, registered in Vaduz, Liechtenstein (Commercial Register FL-0002.693.417-1).
The Trading Pit stands out on trader protection and scaling. Futures Prime replaces the usual hard daily breach with a soft Daily Pause — positions close at the daily threshold and trading resumes the next session — and its Earning Account scales contract limits daily by end-of-day profit. CFD 1-Phase is the fast track: one phase, a 10% target, and entries from just $29. CFD 2-Phase trades speed for materially wider drawdowns. Funded CFD accounts pay bi-weekly and grow +25% at each scaling milestone.
The 30-second verdict
Want futures on institutional platforms (ATAS, Quantower, VolFix, R|Trader Pro)? Go Futures Prime — $99 for the $50K, or $64.35 with our code REFS9VN, with the activation fee currently $0 (normally $129). Want the cheapest way into a funded account? The $29 CFD entry is among the lowest anywhere. Want drawdown room? Go CFD 2-Phase. Every product runs an 80/20 split with a real scaling plan, and returning customers may still have GROW20. Neither code is displayed on the site today, and whether they still redeem at checkout is ‹VERIFY›.
The Trading Pit gives traders a rare combination — futures and CFDs under one roof, a Daily Pause instead of a hard daily breach, and a real scaling plan on both sides of the house.

Comparison
The Trading Pit vs. its closest competitors
How The Trading Pit stacks up against Topstep and Alpha Futures — the two firms we most often recommend alongside it.
| Metric | The Trading Pit | Topstep | Alpha Futures |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50K Challenge Fee | $99 | $165$85 | $79$59 |
| Reward / Profit Split | 80% / 20% | 90% (100% first $10K) | 90% / 10% |
| Days to Payout | 5 profitable days | 5 days | 5 days |
| Drawdown Type | EOD Trailing | EOD Trailing | EOD Trailing |
| Max Funded Accounts | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Daily Payout Option | Bi-weekly (CFD) | No | No |
| CPF Score | 3.8 | 4.7 | 4.9 |
💡 Bottom line: The Trading Pit wins on breadth and protection — futures and CFDs under one roof, a $29 CFD entry that undercuts almost everyone, the Daily Pause instead of a hard daily breach, and a genuine scaling plan on both product lines. Topstep counters with a 100%-first-$10K threshold and brand recognition; Alpha Futures offers a 90/10 split. If a higher base split matters most, look at the competitors; if multi-asset choice, institutional platforms (ATAS, Quantower, VolFix, R|Trader Pro), and cheap entries matter most, The Trading Pit is worth a serious look.
