Comparison verdict
How to decide
The TSB Fit Score is close enough that the better choice depends on rule pressure, platform access, payout timing, and whether the official source still matches checkout.
- Alpha Futures: Alpha Futures is mainly a futures-combine decision. Check platform routing, trailing drawdown, payout cadence, and exchange-specific restrictions before price.
- DayTraders: DayTraders is mainly a futures-combine decision. Check platform routing, trailing drawdown, payout cadence, and exchange-specific restrictions before price.
Do not skip
- Rules before discounts: daily loss, max loss, trailing drawdown, payout timing, and minimum days matter more than a code.
- Market intent first: futures combine pages and forex/CFD evaluations solve different trading problems.
- Checkout last: check live price, country availability, KYC, and refund terms on the official checkout.

FAQ
- Which side should I trust more? Use the side with stronger source coverage and rules that match your market. TSB Fit Score is a shortlist signal, not a guarantee.
- Can a promo code change the decision? It can change checkout price, but it should not override drawdown pressure, payout terms, country availability, or platform fit.
- Why do some rows say verify? Prop firm plans and checkout rules change often. TSB marks incomplete rows instead of pretending the data is final.
