Instant funding prop firm tier list showing the A tier plans: Tradeify FX Direct, Tradeify Lightning, LucidDirect and FundedNext Futures Direct

Most instant funding plans make getting paid harder than passing an evaluation. I compared 31 plans from 18 prop firms, ranked them from A to F, and found only 5 worth considering, led by the Tradeify FX Direct at $549 for a $100K.

FTMO’s new Instant account has some of the best instant funding rules on the market, with a 10% max loss, a 30% consistency rule and balance-based trailing. But at about $1,676 for a $50,000 account, it costs nearly 4.5 times Tradeify FX’s Direct account with code TPJ.
