Almost every prop firm runs discount codes, and many run them nearly all the time. That's useful, but it makes the advertised percentage the least important number. What matters is what you actually pay for the account you actually want, under the rules that come with it.
What a discount code usually applies to
A prop firm code is normally applied to the evaluation (or challenge) fee at checkout. Firms price evaluations in different ways, and that changes what "40% off" is worth:
- One-time fees. Apex lists one-time fees with no recurring billing on its new 2026 products, and MyFundedFutures sells one-time-payment evaluations with no activation fee.
- Monthly subscriptions. Alpha Futures lists most of its evaluations as a monthly price. A discount on a subscription may apply to the first month only, or to every renewal. Check the checkout summary.
- One-time challenge fees on forex/CFD firms. E8 Markets describes a one-time challenge fee; FTMO prices each challenge by account size.
What a code often doesn't cover
Read the checkout line by line. Depending on the firm, these may be priced separately and may not be discounted:
- Resets. Alpha Futures, for example, lists a separate reset price per plan.
- Activation or funded-account fees. Some firms charge when you pass. Take Profit Trader lists a one-time fee to activate a PRO account; MyFundedFutures says it charges no activation fee.
- Add-ons. Options chosen at checkout (platform, data connection, rule add-ons) can change the price.
- Market data or platform licences. Some platforms are separate subscriptions. Tradeify notes that Sierra Chart needs its own paid subscription.
How to check a code in under a minute
- Open the firm's own site and pick the exact plan and size you want.
- Note the price before entering a code. Many firms already show a sale price.
- Enter the code and compare the final total, not the percentage.
- Check whether the price is one-time or recurring, and whether the discount repeats.
- Read the rules for that exact plan. A cheaper plan with a tighter drawdown can cost you more in resets.
Does a code change the rules?
Normally a code changes only the price. But firms sometimes run promotions tied to a specific product. In October 2026, for example, Apex's homepage advertised legacy evaluations as available again for a limited-time promotion, and legacy and new Apex accounts follow different rule sets. Always confirm which product a deal applies to.
Affiliate codes and links
Many codes you see online are affiliate codes: the site sharing them earns a commission if you buy. That's how PropDealsLive plans to fund itself, and we'll say so on every deal (see our affiliate disclosure). A commission should never change which deals are listed or how they're ranked. If a site won't tell you whether its links pay it, treat its rankings with suspicion.
Why our deals board isn't live yet
We only list a code once it's confirmed working at the firm's own checkout, with a timestamp. We're doing those checks now, so the board is launching soon rather than filled with codes we haven't tested. We won't publish an invented or unverified code. Get notified when it goes live.
