Platforms, and which firms support them
Prop firms don't all hand you the same tools — each supports a specific set of platforms and data feeds, and finding out after you've paid for an eval is the wrong time. The matrix below is built the same way our rule registry is: a checkmark appears only when the firm's own site says so, with the date we checked.
Compatibility matrix
✓ = confirmed on the firm's own site, dated; blank = not verified by us (which is not the same as unsupported).
Every ✓ links to the firm's own page we verified it on. A firm missing from the table just means we haven't verified any of its platform claims yet.
Setup guides

Tradovate
The browser-based futures platform most firms issue credentials for — no install, mobile apps, and the bridge TradingView connects through at several firms.

Chart where you already chart — which firms let you trade an eval from TradingView, how the Tradovate bridge works, and what the alert webhooks need.

Rithmic
Not a charting platform — the data and order-routing layer many futures firms issue eval credentials on, and what those credentials plug into.

The multi-connection desktop platform with a free tier — how it connects over Rithmic (or TopstepX at Topstep), and which paid features cost extra.
