TX3 Futures Review 2026: Plans, Rules and Payouts

TX3 Futures is the futures arm of TX3 Funding, a United Arab Emirates proprietary trading firm that previously operated as TopTier Trader. It sells one-time evaluations on simulated futures accounts in three sizes, $50K, $100K and $150K, and routes traders onto Tradovate, NinjaTrader or TradingView with a CQG data feed. Every account it sells is judged on end-of-day drawdown rather than intraday equity, and the funded profit split runs to 90%. On its homepage the firm reports $35M+ paid to 8,000+ traders across four years of operation. This review covers what the firm currently sells, what the rules actually say, and how the pricing sits against other futures firms we track.

The three models

TX3 Futures sells three model types at each of its three account sizes, which is nine products in total. The models are not three tiers of the same product: they differ in whether there is an evaluation at all, in how many contracts you can hold, and in what you must do before a payout is released.

SX is the one-phase evaluation model. You pass by reaching a 6% profit target without breaching the trailing drawdown. GTX Pro is also a one-phase evaluation with the same 6% target, but it allows fewer contracts, adds a 50% consistency rule during the evaluation, and asks for fewer winning days before a payout. Type X is the instant-funding model: there is no evaluation phase and no profit target to pass, so you are trading a funded simulated account from the start, which is why it is the most expensive of the three.

Percentage targets translate into the dollar figures the configurator shows. A 6% target on the $100K SX is $6,000, and its 3% trailing drawdown is $3,000. On the $50K SX the same rules read $3,000 and $2,000. On the $150K SX they read $9,000 and $4,500.

The rules that matter

Drawdown is end-of-day on every product. The trailing maximum drawdown follows your balance based on where the day closes, not on intraday peaks, so an unrealised spike during the session does not pull the threshold up behind you. The drawdown is 4% on the $50K SX and GTX Pro accounts and 3% at $100K and $150K. Type X sits at 4% at all three sizes.

Daily loss limits are not applied uniformly. The funded SX $100K and $150K accounts carry no daily drawdown at all, while the funded SX $50K carries 2.5%, which is $1,250. GTX Pro applies 2% and Type X applies 2.5%.

Consistency rules apply differently by model and by stage. GTX Pro is the only model with a consistency rule during the evaluation, at 50%. On funded accounts, SX applies 30% and Type X applies 20%. GTX Pro is described by the firm as its payout dynamic model.

Payout conditions differ more than the pricing does. SX requires five winning days of at least $150 each before a payout, GTX Pro requires three on the same $150 basis, and Type X requires no minimum trading days. The minimum payout is $100 on SX and GTX Pro and $1,000 on Type X. Maximum payout per request scales with size and model, from $2,000 on the smaller accounts up to $4,500 on the $150K Type X. The firm states that a pro payout can be requested at any time, while an early payout becomes available after 10 days and then every three days.

Pros

• End-of-day drawdown across the whole lineup, which is more forgiving than intraday trailing for traders who hold through noise.
• One-time pricing with no monthly subscription, and a 90% split on funded accounts.
• Three genuinely different structures, including an instant-funding route with no evaluation and no profit target.

Cons

• A TrustPilot score of 3.3 from 4,303 reviews, with recent reviews citing payout denials and rule changes around the TopTier Trader rebrand.
• Payouts carry conditions beyond hitting a target: a 30% consistency rule on funded SX accounts and a five-winning-day requirement before the first withdrawal.
• Contract allowances on GTX Pro are lower than on SX at the same account size, at 8/80 against 10/100 on the $100K.

How it compares

Against the other futures firms in our database, TX3 sits in the middle of the market on price and at the upper end on split. At $50K, the SX at $103 with its code sits below Tradeify's Growth $50K at $145 and MyFundedFutures' Rapid $50K at $157, and above Topstep's Trading Combine $50K at $49. At $100K the gap narrows: SX at $168 against Tradeify Growth at $255, and Topstep at $99.

Two things are worth noting when reading that table. The TX3 figures are code prices while the others are the prices those firms list, so the comparison flatters TX3 by whatever the code is worth. And a lower entry fee is not automatically the better deal on a futures evaluation: what a trader pays for is the drawdown structure and the payout conditions, and those differ enough between these four firms that the fee is only one input.

The fee buys you an attempt. The drawdown rule and the payout conditions decide whether the attempt is worth making.PropFirmMap

Verdict

TX3 Futures is a reasonable fit for traders who want end-of-day drawdown and are comfortable with a one-time fee between $103 and $599. The SX model is the straightforward route: a 6% target, no daily loss limit at $100K and $150K, and the lowest entry cost of the three models. GTX Pro suits a trader who would rather reach a payout in three winning days than five and can work inside a 50% consistency rule during the evaluation and a tighter contract allowance. Type X suits a trader who wants to skip the evaluation entirely and will accept a $1,000 minimum payout and a 20% consistency rule in exchange.

The reservation is reputational rather than structural. The rules are published clearly and the drawdown model is trader-friendly, but a 3.3 TrustPilot score across 4,303 reviews is a meaningful volume of mixed feedback, and the recurring themes in recent reviews concern payouts and rule changes rather than platform quality. Traders who are sensitive to that history should size their first purchase accordingly. All pricing and rules above were verified against the firm's own live configurator on 17 August 2026 and change without notice.
