My Funded Futures vs The5ers: Compared Rule by Rule for 2026
Two firms, two operating philosophies. My Funded Futures was founded in 2023 out of USA; The5ers followed in 2016 from Raanana, and the product design reflects that lineage. My Funded Futures focuses on CME futures instruments via Rithmic and Tradovate, while The5ers covers the broader multi-asset offering. That alone makes them shortlisted together only when a trader is choosing an asset class rather than a firm.
At 100K: My Funded Futures from $169, The5ers from $95.
