Best Prop Firm With No Time Limit
One of the most common causes of evaluation failure is the time limit, not the rules. A 30-day clock pressures traders into low-conviction setups, oversized positions, and revenge trading. Removing the clock changes the game, and more major firms have done it since 2023. Here is who genuinely has no time limit on every program, and who still hides one in the fine print.

Quick answer
FundedFast and FundingPips are the lowest-cost prop firms with genuinely no time limit on their evaluation challenges in 2026. FTMO removed its evaluation deadlines in 2023, so it now qualifies too, though at a higher entry price and an 80% default split. FundedNext varies by program, and E8 Funding offers some no-time-limit programs but defaults to a deadline.

We consider a prop firm 'genuinely no time limit' only if all three are true: no maximum days on either evaluation phase, no minimum trading day requirement that effectively forces activity within a window, and no inactivity-based account closure within the evaluation period. Firms that advertise 'no time limit' but enforce a 30-day inactivity rule are excluded. That is a time limit by another name.

FundingPips and FundedNext win on entry fee. FundedFast wins on day-one profit split. FundedFast, FundingPips and FTMO win on time limit. Every firm here matches on fee refund, so it is table stakes rather than a differentiator. Drawdown varies by firm rather than having a single best answer. No firm on this list wins every column.
Entry fee is the lowest advertised price for each firm's smallest account. Figures come from each firm's published terms as recorded in our competitor data, last verified between April and August 2026. Terms change often -- check the firm's current page before paying.

How FundedFast handles this
FundedFast removes the time limit on both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of its evaluation. The only timing requirement is a three-day minimum on both phases, which exists to prevent random-luck passes in a single trading session. There is no inactivity-based termination during the evaluation period. After funding, the only timing rule is a five-day minimum trading-day requirement in any payout cycle. The honest weakness: the no-time-limit policy applies to the evaluation. Once you are funded, requesting payouts requires the 5-day minimum trading days within the cycle, which can frustrate traders who hold for weeks at a time without taking new trades.
When this is not the right fit
If you trade actively every day and intend to hit profit targets quickly, the no-time-limit benefit is wasted. A deadline is irrelevant to high-frequency day traders who pass in a week regardless. The unlimited-time advantage matters most to swing traders and to anyone trading around full-time work.

Frequently asked
Why do prop firms impose time limits?
Time limits filter out traders who do not have a tested edge. A profitable strategy will produce results within a window. The downside is they also filter out perfectly capable traders who are forced into bad decisions under deadline pressure.
Which prop firms have no time limit?
FundedFast and FundingPips are the lowest-cost prop firms with genuinely no time limit on every evaluation program in 2026. FTMO also removed its time limits in 2023, so it qualifies as well, though at a higher entry price.
Does FundedFast really have no time limit?
Yes, on both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the evaluation. The only timing requirement is a three-day minimum trading days on each phase, which exists to prevent single-session lucky passes.
Is no time limit better for beginners or experienced traders?
Both, but for different reasons. Beginners benefit by being able to take their time learning the rules. Experienced traders benefit by being able to wait for high-conviction setups instead of forcing trades to hit a deadline.
