Introduction
Arctic Funding futures prop firm review: Arctic Funding is currently presented as a multi-asset prop firm, but this section focuses only on its futures programs. Current recorded Futures One Step and Futures Two Step accounts use contract-based risk, 3% intraday trailing maximum loss and no separate daily loss limit. One Step uses a 6% evaluation target, while Two Step uses 5% in Phase 1 and 3% in Phase 2. Current sizes run from $50K to $150K, with DXtrade listed for the futures routes. Funded payout qualification requires five profitable days with at least $200 on each qualifying day plus 40% consistency. These programs can be relevant for experienced ES, NQ, YM, CL, GC and other futures traders who understand real-time trailing risk and can manage payout buffers and consistency.
Bridge Verdict Preview
Arctic Funding has a lower Moderate overall profile. Its 34 / 100 PFB Score remains Moderate, but sits only 0.67 points above the High Risk threshold. The 90% futures trader split and no separate daily loss limit are useful, but intraday trailing drawdown, funded consistency and verification concerns make this a cautious assessment. It best suits experienced traders willing to perform extra due diligence before purchase.
TL;DR
- Best for: experienced futures traders comfortable with intraday trailing and extra verification.
- Biggest strength: 90% current futures split with one-step and two-step choices.
- Main risk: very low Moderate score plus verification and payout-rule concerns.

Ratings Breakdown
Our Take
Arctic Funding received a 34 out of 100 score because its futures evaluation structure offers one-step and two-step choices, but traders must understand intraday trailing drawdown, funded consistency and significant verification concerns.
Who This Futures Firm Is For (and Not For)
Arctic Funding's futures routes can be considered only by experienced traders who are comfortable with a 3% intraday trailing maximum loss and 40% consistency. One Step is the simpler evaluation with a 6% target. Two Step reduces the targets to 5% and 3% but adds a second phase. Both current recorded structures list no separate daily loss limit, a 90% trader share and futures contract limits by account size.
It is not suitable for traders seeking a high-confidence PFB recommendation. At 34 / 100, Arctic Funding sits barely inside Moderate. The broader record also contains verification concerns around brand and domain continuity, so traders should independently confirm the current entity, checkout, account agreement and payout terms before paying. The review should not soften that risk simply because the score remains technically above 33.33.
Risk Profile Compared to Futures Industry Standards
The 3% intraday trailing maximum loss is demanding because the floor can react to account performance during the session rather than waiting for an EOD reference. The absence of a separate daily loss limit gives traders flexibility, but it also places more responsibility on personal risk controls. Funded payouts require five qualifying profitable days and 40% consistency, and a 3% profit buffer remains under the current recorded terms. These conditions are workable but restrictive. More importantly, the score reflects broader due-diligence concerns beyond the numerical account rules. With only a 34 / 100 rating, Arctic Funding belongs at the cautious edge of Moderate and should not be described with the same confidence as a 60-point or 80-point firm.
First-Person Testing Signal
During our record verification, the most important issue was separating the current futures data from older and multi-asset information. The futures routes use intraday trailing drawdown and contract-based limits. We also found enough continuity concerns in the broader firm record that current checkout and issued-account verification should be treated as essential rather than optional.

Futures One Step
The futures one-step route uses a 6% evaluation target and 3% intraday trailing maximum loss that locks at the starting balance. There is no separate daily loss limit. Funded payout qualification requires five profitable trading days with at least $200 profit on each qualifying day and uses 40% consistency.
Futures Two Step
The futures two-step route uses 5% in Phase 1 and 3% in Phase 2, while retaining the same 3% intraday trailing maximum loss and no separate daily loss limit. The funded payout structure also uses five qualifying days and 40% consistency.
CFD Programs
CFD One Step uses a 10% evaluation target, 6% static maximum loss and 5% daily loss. CFD Two Step uses 10% and 5% phase targets, 8% maximum loss during evaluation and a 4% daily loss limit. These percentage-based CFD rules should not be applied to the futures products.
Crypto One Step
Crypto One Step uses a 9% target, 6% static maximum loss and 3% daily cap, with DXtrade listed as the platform. Its market-hours and automation rules differ from the futures routes.

Final Verdict
Is Arctic Funding Trusted or a Risk for Futures Traders?
Verdict: Moderate, very close to High Risk. Arctic Funding receives a 34 / 100 PFB Score. Under the exact Prop Firm Bridge rule, 33.34 to 66.66 is Moderate, so 34 remains Moderate. It should not, however, be presented as comfortably Moderate.
The current recorded futures programs provide one-step and two-step routes, a 90% trader share, no separate daily loss limit and permitted news trading. Against that, traders face 3% intraday trailing drawdown, 40% consistency, qualifying payout days and a funded buffer. More importantly, the broader record raises verification concerns around brand and domain continuity. Traders should verify the current operating entity, checkout and issued agreement before committing funds. The score communicates that caution clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Prop Firm Bridge currently scores Arctic Funding 34 / 100. Under the exact PFB category rule, that is Moderate, but it is only 0.67 points above the High Risk threshold. Current recorded futures programs have useful features such as a 90% trader share and no separate daily loss limit. However, intraday trailing drawdown, payout consistency and broader verification concerns materially reduce confidence. Traders should independently confirm the current operating entity, checkout and issued account agreement before paying.
Current Futures One Step and Futures Two Step records use a 3% intraday trailing maximum loss that locks at the starting balance. Intraday trailing is more demanding than EOD trailing because the risk floor can respond to account performance during the session. There is no separate daily loss limit on the current recorded futures programs. Traders should therefore create their own daily stop and calculate ES, NQ, GC, CL and other contract size from the actual 3% loss allowance rather than nominal account balance.
Current recorded futures payout qualification requires five profitable trading days with at least $200 profit on each qualifying day, plus the applicable 40% consistency, buffer and payout-cap rules. A 3% profit buffer remains in the funded account under the current records, and payouts are capped at 5% of account size per request. These conditions mean passing the evaluation does not immediately create unrestricted withdrawal access. Traders should verify the issued agreement because of the broader continuity concerns reflected in the low score.
Current futures account records list news trading and copy trading between trader-owned accounts as allowed, subject to prohibited-strategy rules. Automation is also listed as allowed on the current futures records. These permissions do not reduce the importance of the 3% intraday trailing maximum loss. A volatile news event can move futures contracts quickly, and copied or automated orders still need to remain inside each account's individual contract and drawdown limits.
Futures One Step uses a 6% evaluation target. Futures Two Step uses a 5% target in Phase 1 followed by 3% in Phase 2. Both current recorded routes use a 3% intraday trailing maximum loss, no separate daily loss limit and 40% consistency. Funded payout qualification also uses five profitable days under the recorded structure. The main choice is therefore whether the trader prefers one larger target or two smaller evaluation phases.
Arctic Funding futures is only best considered by experienced traders who are comfortable with intraday trailing drawdown, consistency and extra due diligence. Its current 34 / 100 PFB Score is technically Moderate but sits extremely close to High Risk. Traders seeking a high-confidence recommendation should recognize that distinction. Anyone considering the program should confirm the current operating entity, payment destination and issued futures rules before purchase.
