Look before you buy

Firm Trust Score

A 0–100 score built from a firm's real Trustpilot reputation, how long it's actually been operating as a futures prop firm specifically, and a checklist of the rule types that most often catch traders off guard — account stacking, flipping, windfall clauses, news-trading blackouts, and more. Picked by firm, since some of these are firm-wide policies, not tied to one specific account.

Whole firms only, not individual accounts — some rules can still vary by which account you pick, noted below.

  • News trading restrictionAppliesCommon, low severity· Computed from our data

    Applies on 8 of 8 researched accounts.

    What's this?
  • Account stackingAppliesHigh severity

    Explicitly named "Rolling, Churning, or Gambling Accounts" — creating multiple evaluation accounts in a short period, letting most fail while focusing on passing one, or repeatedly breaching newly-purchased accounts within 24-48 hours and immediately repurchasing (worked example given: 9 accounts bought and breached within 24 hours, then 7 more the next day). Also separately bans deliberately breaching a FUNDED account to avoid transitioning to live trading ("Intentional Account Breaching / sim Farming"), and caps funded accounts at 3 per household (5-9 for S2F PRO, promotion-dependent) with automatic breach of the oldest account (no refund) if exceeded — all part of the same anti-stacking enforcement regime.

    What's this?
  • Copy trading & EA (bot) rulesAppliesModerate severity

    Any automated trading system, script, bot, EA, or high-frequency execution tool is strictly forbidden — trades must be manual or semi-manual. A real nuance: copy trading between your OWN accounts at different firms is allowed, but only if trade decisions originate from your Top One Futures account (i.e. Top One can be the source being mirrored elsewhere, not the destination).

    What's this?
  • Group trading / signal copyingAppliesModerate severity

    Bans executing the same trades as another person/account, coordinated trading with relatives or friends, and following signal services, Telegram/Discord groups, or any shared trade-alert system. Each trader is expected to run a unique, independent strategy.

    What's this?
  • Arbitrage tradingAppliesModerate severity

    Latency arbitrage is explicitly named and banned under system/pricing-error exploitation, and arbitraging trades across Top One Futures and another firm or platform is separately and explicitly banned.

    What's this?
  • VPN / multi-identity policyAppliesModerate severity

    Only the registered account owner may trade — allowing friends, family, or any third party to access or trade the account is explicitly prohibited.

    What's this?
  • Minimum trade duration / anti-microscalpingAppliesModerate severity

    A precise "10-Second Rule": trades must remain open longer than 10.00 seconds (10.01s is compliant); closing any portion of a position before 10 seconds is a violation, though adding to a position within 10 seconds is fine. Enforced only at scale — flagged when roughly 50%+ of total/withdrawable profit OR 50%+ of individual trades violate it, at which point the associated profits are removed.

This score is assembled from our own research and is only as good as what we've confirmed so far — it updates automatically as more of a firm's rules get verified. Always check the firm's own terms before buying.
