⛔ Out of Business — Do Not Trade
Current Compare Prop Firms score: 0.0 / 5. The Prop Pit wound down operations in 2026 and is no longer an active prop firm. Do not purchase an evaluation, pay an activation fee, or send the company money.
Our previous 4.4 rating has been withdrawn. The original review is retained below only as an archive of what the company advertised while it was operating.
Closure update, September 25, 2026: The Prop Pit is out of business. The firm announced that it was winding down operations after launching with free futures evaluations, its Pit Trader platform, and the PitBoss assistant. Its former product pages are no longer a basis for opening an account, and Compare Prop Firms now classifies the company as closed.
What happened to The Prop Pit?
The Prop Pit said it had made the decision to wind down operations and described the process as a transition involving pending payouts and outstanding obligations. Its former commercial website no longer presents a functioning purchase path. Independent futures-prop directories also list The Prop Pit among firms that died in 2026. See the current closed-firm directory record.
A shutdown is different from an ordinary negative review. Whatever value the product may have offered while it was available, traders can no longer evaluate it as an operating alternative. That is why the firm now receives a 0.0 score and appears on our Do Not Trade list.
What existing customers should do
- Do not send additional money. Do not pay a new fee in response to an unofficial email, direct message, or social-media account claiming it can restore access.
- Preserve your records. Save account statements, payout requests, invoices, emails, chat transcripts, screenshots, and the rules that applied when you purchased.
- Contact your payment provider promptly if you paid for a service that was not delivered. Dispute windows vary by card issuer and payment method.
- Treat any relaunch as a new firm. A returned website or social account would not, by itself, resolve prior customer obligations or restore the former rating.
Our updated verdict
The Prop Pit is closed and should not receive new customer funds. Compare Prop Firms no longer recommends the company, has removed its former positive score, and will not present its old pricing or features as a current offer.

The prop firm industry has seen countless new entrants over the years, but every once in a while, a firm comes along that genuinely tries to do things differently. The Prop Pit (theproppit.com) is one of those firms — a fully custom-built, multi-asset proprietary trading platform that launched with a bold claim: free evaluations for everyone, a proprietary trading platform built from scratch, and the world's first AI that doesn't just analyze your trades but actually executes them.

🏆 vs. Tradeify (our #1 rated firm): Tradeify leads on daily payouts and proven track record — but The Prop Pit's custom-built platform, 6 asset classes, and PitBoss AI are the most technologically advanced offering in the prop firm space right now.
In this review, we break down everything you need to know about The Prop Pit — from account sizes and trading rules to platform features and payouts.
What Is The Prop Pit?
The Prop Pit is a proprietary trading firm built around their own custom trading platform, Pit Trader. Unlike most prop firms that white-label an existing solution (Rithmic, DXFeed, etc.), The Prop Pit built their entire platform in-house. They also integrated an AI trading assistant called PitBoss, which they bill as an industry first.
The firm supports trading across six asset classes from a single account:
- Futures (ES, NQ, CL, GC, and more)
- U.S. Equities (stocks)
- Options
- Cryptocurrency
- Events contracts (sports, elections, economic data)
That breadth of instruments on a single platform is genuinely rare in the prop firm space, where most firms are laser-focused on futures or forex only.
Free Evaluations — What's the Catch?
The Prop Pit's most headline-grabbing claim is that all futures evaluations are 100% free. No upfront cost, no evaluation fee, unlimited resets.
Here's the breakdown:
| Account Size | Evaluation Cost | Resets |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 (Micro) | Free | Unlimited |
| $25,000 (Starter) | Free | Unlimited |
| $50,000 (Popular) | Free | Unlimited |
| $100,000 (Pro) | Free | Unlimited |
There is one caveat: a $69 activation fee applies to $10K accounts upon funding (not during evaluation). All larger accounts appear to have no activation fee mentioned.
Their philosophy: evaluations exist to protect firm capital — that's the firm's risk, not the trader's. If you don't pass, you reset and go again. If you do pass, you both win. It's a refreshingly trader-aligned model.
Account Sizes & Profit Targets
The Prop Pit offers four account tiers. Here are the profit targets and payout structures:
| Account Size | Profit Target | Minimum Buffer | First Payout Available |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $1,000 | $500 | Up to $500 |
| $25,000 | $1,500 | $1,000 | Up to $1,000 |
| $50,000 | $3,000 | $2,000 | Up to $2,000 |
| $100,000 | $6,000 | $3,000 | Up to $3,000 |
How payouts work: Once you hit your profit target, you can withdraw — but a minimum buffer must remain in the account to keep it active. For example, on a $50K account once your balance hits $53,000, you can withdraw up to $1,000 (leaving the $2,000 buffer intact). There's no cap on the number of payouts you can request as long as the buffer is maintained.
No time limit: There is no deadline to reach your profit target. You trade at your own pace.
Profit split: 90/10 in the trader's favor — one of the highest in the industry.
Path to live trading: After $10,000 in total cumulative payouts, your account is reviewed for promotion to live trading.
Funding Paths
The Prop Pit offers three distinct ways to get funded:
1. Evaluation Path
The standard route. Trade a simulated account, hit your profit target while staying within the rules, then get funded. All evaluations are free.
2. Straight to Funded
Skip the evaluation phase entirely and jump directly into a funded account. Details and pricing for this path are available on their site.
3. Straight to Live
The most direct path — go straight to trading live capital. This is the premium offering for experienced, verified traders.
Trading Rules
The Prop Pit's rule set is designed to be transparent with no hidden gotchas. Here's what governs your account:
Profit Targets
As outlined above, targets scale with account size — from $1,000 on a $10K account to $6,000 on a $100K account. Once hit on a funded account, you're eligible to withdraw.
No Time Limit
You're not racing a clock. Take as many days as you need to hit your target. This is a trader-friendly rule that many other firms don't offer.
Drawdown & Max Loss
The Prop Pit uses a max loss limit system with an EOT (End of Trade) drawdown rule. Specific drawdown percentages are documented in their knowledge base — the key point is that limits are static and transparent, published upfront and not subject to change after you sign up.
Consistency Rule
There is a consistency component to the rules — the specifics are designed to prevent traders from gambling their way to a profit target in a single session and then underperforming every other day. This keeps funded traders demonstrating repeatable edge rather than luck.
No Hidden Gotchas
The firm explicitly states: "No hidden gotchas, no moving goalposts." Their rules are published and locked — they won't change the terms after you sign up. For an industry where rule changes mid-account have burned traders before, this is a meaningful commitment.
The Platform: Pit Trader
This is where The Prop Pit genuinely stands out. Pit Trader is a fully proprietary trading platform — not a white-label, not a reskin of an existing tool. Built from the ground up by traders, for traders.
What's included:
- Advanced charting — volume profile, delta, multiple timeframes, real-time indicators
- Native DOM order entry — one-click execution with stop-loss and take-profit brackets
- 260+ instruments — futures, stocks, crypto, options, and events contracts in one workspace
- Copy trading — leader/follower architecture with real-time trade mirroring
- Sub-millisecond rendering — built for professional-grade execution speed
Platform availability:
- Desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux (full terminal with multi-monitor support)
- Mobile: iOS and Android
- Tablet: iPad and Android tablet (optimized touch layouts)
All devices sync in real-time from a single account.
PitBoss AI — The Industry First
PitBoss is the feature that makes The Prop Pit unlike any other firm on the market. It's an AI trading assistant built directly into Pit Trader — and it goes far beyond what you'd expect.
Four things PitBoss can do:
1. Chart Analysis Point PitBoss at any chart on any symbol and timeframe. It delivers instant technical analysis: support and resistance levels, pattern recognition, volume analysis, trend identification, and trade setups complete with entry, stop, and target levels.
2. Trading History Analysis PitBoss reviews your full trading history and surfaces what you don't want to hear — overtrading patterns, revenge trade sequences, worst-performing sessions, time-of-day weaknesses, and risk management drift. It's like having a performance coach built into your terminal.
3. Indicator Conversion (Exclusive) Got indicators you've been running on TradingView (PineScript), NinjaTrader (NinjaScript), or any other platform (MQL)? Paste them into PitBoss and get a working Pit Trader native version back instantly. No developer needed.
4. Live Trade Execution (Exclusive) This is the one. PitBoss doesn't just suggest trades — it executes them. Tell it what you want, and it stages the order: entry, stop, target, and position size. You confirm, it executes in your account. No other prop firm has anything like this.
Asset Classes in Detail
Futures
The core offering. ES, NQ, CL, GC, and a full range of CME and CBOT contracts. Standard futures rules apply with leverage appropriate to account size.
U.S. Equities
Trade individual stocks from the same account. No need to switch platforms or split capital.
Options
Options trading is available through Pit Trader, integrated natively with the same order entry interface.
Cryptocurrency
Crypto is available as an asset class on funded accounts — BTC/USD, ETH/USD, and more.
Events Contracts
This is genuinely new territory for prop trading. Events contracts let you trade the outcome of real-world events — sports matchups, elections, economic data releases — using structured binary and range contracts. These contracts are priced in real-time and settle automatically. It's a brand new asset class integrated natively.
Payouts
- Profit split: 90/10 in the trader's favor
- Payout schedule: Regular, predictable schedule
- No cap: Unlimited payouts as long as the minimum buffer is maintained
- Path to live trading: $10,000 cumulative payouts triggers a review for live trading promotion
- 24/7 support: Available via Discord and support channels
Who Is The Prop Pit Best For?
Best fit:
- Traders who want a multi-asset experience without juggling platforms
- Tech-forward traders who want AI assistance built into their workflow
- Traders who've been burned by evaluation fees and want a risk-free start
- Experienced traders who want a path to live trading with real firm capital
Worth knowing:
- The platform is proprietary, meaning there's a learning curve if you're coming from NinjaTrader, Tradovate, or another established platform
- The $69 activation fee on $10K funded accounts is a minor cost but worth noting
- This is a relatively new firm — as with any newer entrant, track record and payout history will develop over time
Archived Final Verdict
The Prop Pit is making moves that the rest of the prop firm industry should be paying attention to. Free evaluations, a genuinely custom-built platform, six asset classes, 90% profit split, and an AI that can actually execute trades — these aren't marketing claims layered on top of a generic white-label setup. This is a firm that built something from scratch.
September 2026 correction: the long-term execution described here did not continue. The firm wound down operations, this positive verdict is withdrawn, and the current score is 0.0.
