Best Prop Firms With No Evaluation Time Limit

Why time limits kill traders

The old prop firm model forced a 30-day evaluation window. That window created artificial urgency — and urgent traders are bad traders. You'd force setups on Day 25 to hit the target, and blow the account. The industry has largely moved away from hard time limits because they don't actually select for skill; they select for gamblers.

Firms with no time limit

Apex, TopStep, Tradeify, TakeProfitTrader all removed time limits on their standard evaluations. FTMO removed its time limit in 2025. This means you can take 3 days or 300 days to hit the profit target, as long as you don't breach drawdown or daily loss. The rule you still need to respect is the minimum-winning-days count (usually 5) on most firms.

The catch: monthly fees and consistency

While you don't have a hard deadline, most firms charge a monthly fee to keep the evaluation open. Miss too many consecutive months inactive and some firms auto-close. Also — the "consistency rule" on funded accounts (no single day over ~30% of total profit) can bite you if you try to win the whole target in one session.
