[Up to 50% Off] Every Prop Firm First-Time Coupon Code — 19 Firms, April 2026 Edition

Published: 4/18/2026Updated: 9/27/2026

📢 Advertising / affiliate disclosure: This article contains prop-memo.com affiliate links (rows marked 🎁 in the table below). If you purchase a challenge through one of these links, you'll receive Hosono P's semi-discretionary EA "ELDRA" free of charge, unlimited use. See Hosono P's note article for details on ELDRA's features and how to claim it.

Are you paying full price for your challenge?

VIBES gets you $164 off a FundedNext $100K account. WELCOME30JP gets Fintokei 30% off. PROPVATOR gets PipFarm a second account for free.

We went through 19 firms — including overseas aggregator sites — and rounded up every "live" code that actually works in the prop industry right now. Some codes give you up to 50% off or BOGO deals (one free account), and the savings on a single challenge can run into tens of thousands of yen.

This article only lists codes verified to be live as of April 18, 2026, sourced from overseas aggregator sites such as PropFirmMatch, Opinatron, TrustedProp, SimplyCodes, WorthEPenny, and SaveOnPropFirms, plus Japanese-language prop firm media.

※ Prop firm discount codes change and expire frequently. Always verify the total price at checkout right before you buy.

Use first-time codes on a $100K account (this is the most important point)

At most prop firms, the biggest first-time codes can only be used once per person. And since discounts are given as a percentage, the amount you save equals challenge price × discount rate. That simple math means the bigger the account, the more you save.

Savings simulation for a 50%-off code

Account sizeList priceAfter 50% offSavings
$5K$29$14$15
$10K$59$30$29
$25K$189$95$94
$50K$289$145$144
$100K$499$249$250
$200K$999$499$500

At $5K, the same code saves you $15. At $100K, it saves you $250 — more than 16x the difference from a single code. At $200K it's double again, but $100K is close to the "largest account size" at many firms, and tends to be the easiest size to work with in terms of parameters and rule fit.

Three reasons to spend your first-time code on a $100K account

  1. You can only use it once: first-time-limited codes are restricted by email/IP, so they can't be applied on a second purchase
  2. Percentage discounts pay more on bigger amounts: the same 50% off saves more than 16x as much on $100K vs. $5K
  3. If scaling is the plan, you're heading for $100K anyway: going straight for a $100K challenge is more time-efficient than starting small and working your way up

That said, always check whether your trading style actually fits the account size. At $100K your lot size scales up automatically, and you're more likely to hit a $5,000 daily loss wall. Check the drawdown and market conditions for each plan on the firm comparison page before choosing.

Existing 14 firms' coupon status (summary)

Fintokei — new-signup 30% off "WELCOME30JP" is the strongest

A major prop firm with Japanese-language support. The new-signup-only WELCOME30JP (30% off) is the biggest one, alongside the permanently usable FINTO5KEI (5%) and TIMES10 (first-time 10%). Follow the official X account @FintokeiJP to catch occasional drops. Note that as of April 2026, Fintokei switched from VaR to a 3% risk rule — see the Fintokei complete guide.

Fundora — occasional distribution (up to 50%), following the official LINE is a must

A Japan-based prop firm. There's no standing code — discounts are distributed sporadically via official LINE and social media (past drops have included 50% off). Worth signing up if you're hunting for the big campaigns. See the Fundora complete guide.

FTMO — thin on coupons by tradition, "$10K 42% off" is the hidden gem

FTMO officially doesn't publish "coupon codes," and while mentions of things like SAVE10 are common, they often don't actually work at checkout (as of April 2026). Instead, discounts come through these routes:

  • First purchase for new users: an automatic 10% off campaign
  • $10K Challenge exclusive 42% off: available to users who don't currently hold a $10K account, via partners like PropFirmMatch (roughly $155 → $90)
  • FTMO Prime: reach Prime status after 4 payouts (each 4%+ profit) → a standing 10% off

The $10K's 42% off is a special-condition offer, but effectively the biggest one available. Discounts on other sizes are stingy, so if you're going with FTMO, passing at $10K then scaling up is the most cost-efficient route. See the FTMO complete guide.

FundedNext — "VIBES" 30% off is April 2026's strongest code

The old FNBL150 is actually a "150% refund upgrade," not a plain discount code (watch out for this). The codes that actually work as of April 2026 are:

  • VIBES(30% off) — applies to all plans, works for both new and existing users. On a $100K Stellar 2-Step ($549) that's about $164 off
  • STELLAR10 / LUCKY10 — roughly 10% off
  • THRIFT(7%) — thin, but rarely expires
  • A separate automatic 25% off for new users sometimes applies as well

Apply VIBES to a $100K account and it goes from $549 to $385 — a single code saves you roughly $164. See the FundedNext complete guide.

The5ers — the standard INVEST 10%, 30% for military

As of April 2026, the codes consistently listed on overseas aggregator sites are:

  • JZWLR(5% off) — our site's affiliate code (added September 2026). Buying through our affiliate link also gets you the semi-discretionary EA "ELDRA" free. The discount rate is smaller than INVEST, so if you don't need ELDRA, INVEST is cheaper
  • INVEST(10% off) — a standing code that applies to all challenges
  • BRIDGE(10% off) — another standing code running in parallel
  • ADHIMMXM(30% off) — military personnel only
  • Email support@the5ers.com before purchasing → they issue a 5% code on the spot (a hidden trick)

The5ers is generally a stingy firm when it comes to discounts, but the 10% code is a standing offer. Note that the $100K High Stakes account is excluded from first-time offers. See the The5ers complete guide.

ThinkCapital — BESTPROMO 20% + a 14-day free trial

BESTPROMO(20%) and PFA(25%) are the standard first-time codes. It also offers a rare 14-day free trial, letting you actually try the platform before buying. See the ThinkCapital complete guide.

TradingCult — limited public code information

Few listings on third-party aggregator sites, and as of April 2026 no stable public code could be confirmed. If you're considering a purchase, check the official site's top banner and newsletter first. See the TradingCult complete guide.

FundedHive — 10% via TrustedProp, Pay-After-Pass is the highlight

A newer firm launched in 2025. Rather than the official coupon, its Pay-After-Pass feature (pay the fee only after passing the challenge) can save more on upfront costs in some cases. A roughly 10% discount is available via partners. See the FundedHive complete guide.

Blueberry Funded — TRUSTED 30% + a repeat-purchase "comeback" perk

Plenty of public codes are available, including TRUSTED(30%), BBIT(30%), and failuresfx(20%, permanent). Blueberry is also one of the rare firms that offers a repeat-purchase discount (a discount on your next challenge after going funded), which makes it easy to keep using long-term. See the Blueberry Funded complete guide.

Funded7 — our exclusive HP50 has ended. The official SEVEN is current

The prop-memo.com × Funded7 exclusive coupon HP50 (50% off new 2-Phase purchases) ended on August 31, 2026.

The code currently available at Funded7 is SEVEN (20% off + profit split +10%), displayed on the official site's top banner. The 2-Phase plan is Funded7's flagship offering with an 80% profit split, and its rules (weekend and news trading OK) are also a good fit for Japanese traders. Check the specs in the Funded7 complete guide alongside this.

Note that the previously circulating PROPLAB50 code came from a limited-time campaign and is very likely expired now.

PipFarm — PROPVATOR BOGO is the strongest

PROPVATOR is a special code offering a Buy One Get One Free deal (a free account of the same size added upon reaching payout). The effective cost-halving impact is bigger than the raw discount amount suggests. A 10% off code via TrustedProp is also available in parallel. See the PipFarm complete guide.

ATFunded — ⚠️ service paused June 8, 2026

ATFunded announced a suspension of operations on June 8, 2026, so coupon codes no longer work (new challenge purchases are unavailable). Active account holders have been told they'll receive a full refund of their purchase fee, and funded accounts have been told payouts will be processed as per the rules. See the ATFunded pause and refund summary for details.

Hantec Trader — NEW35 35% (all challenges)

The official standing codes are NEW35 (35% off all challenges) plus SAVE10 / SAVE15 / SAVE20, and INSTANT20 (confirmed September 9, 2026). Challenge fees are not refunded even after passing and getting paid out. It's a young firm founded in 2024, and note that on funded accounts, hitting a combined floating loss of 3% of the initial balance is an instant breach. Instant-type accounts (Instant Funding / Instant Lite / Instant24) ban EAs entirely (Hantec Trader complete guide).

SuperFunded — VETTED 30%, early info on Discord

VETTED(30%) and SF15(15%) are the public codes. Flash codes sometimes circulate on SuperFunded's official Discord and Instagram before hitting general sites, so it's worth joining if you're serious about hunting discounts. See the SuperFunded complete guide.

Newly added 5 firms: details on each

For the 5 firms added in April 2026, we cover the rule specs in detail as well. Pay attention to things like drawdown calculation basis and reset times from an EA-compatibility perspective too.

Funding Pips: newsletter signup for an extra 5% is the solid move

Funding Pips has relatively generous public codes, and 20%-off codes like 2C14A034 can be confirmed on multiple coupon aggregator sites.

That said, Funding Pips' official first-time offer tends to arrive via an invitation email after signing up for the newsletter on the official site. Separately from the standard 20% code, you can stack on a +5% first-time bonus, so on your first purchase the cheapest route is:

  1. Sign up for the newsletter on the official site → note the first-time code you receive
  2. Compare it against a public code (e.g. 2C14A034) at checkout
  3. Apply only whichever gives the larger discount (codes can't be stacked)

The 2-Step Pro $5K account is already cheap at $29, and 20% off brings it down to roughly $23–24. See the Funding Pips complete guide for details on drawdown and other criteria.

Alpha Capital Group: "15% via Prop Firm Match" is more trustworthy than the flashy codes

Alpha Capital has a lot of third-party codes claiming exaggerated discounts, like SKY50(75% off), circulating out there, but what actually works at checkout is mostly in the 10–20% range.

As of September 13, 2026, the official code is ALPHA20 (20% off all plans, through September 30). There's also FUNDED40 (40% off, Alpha Direct only) and 10KFOR40 ($10K for $40), both managed with their listing and expiry dates on the official coupon page. We verified ALPHA20 and FUNDED40 both apply at checkout.

You may see wording like "first order 20% off" for new purchases, but this is often a limited-time campaign, so check whether it's currently running via the official site's top banner before buying.

For the 2-step Alpha Pro 10%, the $100K account lists at $447, coming to $357.60 with ALPHA20 (verified September 13, 2026). Note, though, that fully automated EAs are officially banned, and Trustpilot ratings are currently suspended. See the Alpha Capital Group complete guide for details.

E8 Markets: BESTPROMO has also ended. Current code is E8 25%

The once-biggest code SOPF (40% off Signature) ended on April 30, 2026. The current standing codes are:

  • BESTPROMO(30% off) — long-standing default
  • TRADE2WIN(20% off) — a stable code that rarely expires
  • Invitation email right after signup — new signups receive a "first-time exclusive code"

When we checked at checkout on September 13, 2026, both BESTPROMO and SOPF were invalid. The current codes are E8(25% off) and E8PATH(also 25% off) — on a $100K E8 One, that's list price $488 → $366. Perpetual futures get 30–50% off with E8, and the futures-side E8 Zero gets 35% off with REB8.

Also note that E8 was rebranded as SimFi™ in 2026, and all three Forex plans are now 1-step. Daily drawdown is based on that day's starting balance (see the E8 Markets complete guide).

FundedElite: a first-time-only 50% code is the standout

FundedElite sometimes runs a first-time-buyer-only 50% off code, the largest discount potential among all 5 firms. Notable examples:

  • MT5 — 50% off (first-time only, availability period varies)
  • ALLIN — 20% off + 2nd-chance perk

Note that FundedElite explicitly doesn't allow stacking codes, so you'll need to choose between the "50% code" and the "20% code with 2nd chance." If you're confident you'll pass on the first try, go with 50%; if you want a safety net, go with the 2nd-chance 20% code — that's the standard split.

On the 2-Step Challenge $100K account, list price is around $499, and 50% off brings it down to $249. Official rule information is thin, and we're running with provisional values on our site too (FundedElite complete guide). It's safer to cross-check with the official FAQ before purchasing.

Lark Funding: sources disagree on whether the INVEST code is 5% or 20%

Lark Funding has a flagship code called INVEST, but some aggregator sites list it as "5% off" while others list it as "20% off." This is likely because the discount rate changed over time, and the actual current rate appears to be 5%.

What you should definitely lock in on your first purchase:

  • INVEST (5–20%, verify the actual rate at checkout)
  • Any temporary campaign announced on the official site's top banner

Also note that Lark Funding's old 2-Step plan was discontinued in early 2026, and the current lineup is 1-Step / 3-Step / Instant (existing 2-Step accounts were given a 4-month grace period before closing, with payouts processed). It has an unusual drawdown reset time of 17:00 EST (Lark Funding complete guide), so understanding the reset time to avoid a drawdown breach is worth more than the $20 you'd save from a coupon.

Common notes when using coupons

① No stacking, as a rule

At nearly every firm, applying multiple codes at once is not allowed. Entering a code at checkout overwrites the previous one, so you'll end up choosing "the single code with the biggest discount."

② Don't take third-party aggregator discount rates at face value

Aggregator sites claiming huge discounts like "75% off" or "90% off" are mostly exaggerated click-bait numbers. This article only lists rates that could be confirmed as realistic across multiple sites. Always verify the actual discount using the total shown at checkout.

③ Distinguish first-time-limited from sitewide codes

Codes generally fall into two types:

  • First-time exclusive: limited to accounts with no prior purchase under the same email/IP
  • Sitewide: applies to all purchases, including existing users

Big codes like FundedElite's MT5 tend to be first-time-only and won't apply on a second purchase. Using your one first-time code for the maximum discount, then a sitewide code for subsequent purchases, is the most cost-optimal approach.

④ Re-challenge discounts after scaling as a funded trader

Some firms, including Funding Pips and FundedElite, offer discounts on additional account purchases after you reach a funded scale-up. If your official dashboard shows something like an "Upgrade offer," check it first, since it can sometimes beat the public coupon rate.

Conclusion: spend your first-time code on a single "$100K, one shot" purchase

After researching 19 firms, the conclusion is simple:

  1. The big first-time codes (30–50%) are typically one-per-person. Use them wrong and you lose out big.
  2. Percentage discounts scale with account size → using them on a $100K account maximizes your savings (more than 16x that of a $5K account)
  3. Time-limited codes expire fast (E8's SOPF 40% and BESTPROMO 30% have both expired, and our own exclusive Funded7 HP50 50% has also ended). If you find a code with an expiry date, use it early

For example, applying FundedElite's MT5 50% off on a $100K account takes it from $499 to $249 — a $250 saving (roughly ¥37,500). That's 17 times the saving you'd get from the same code on a $5K account. When to use your first-time code, and on what account size, deserves just as much strategy as finding the code in the first place.

That said, how well the discount rate matters is far less important than "whether your trading style actually fits the firm's rules." A $100K account's $5,000 daily drawdown wall can wipe you out on day one if you're not used to managing your lot size. Check the drawdown for each plan on the firm comparison page, and make sure you can comfortably handle it at your trading size before buying.

The PropMemo Tracker EA for MT4/MT5 runs automatic firm detection and a daily drawdown guard, which lowers the risk of a "day-one blowup" right after a $100K purchase. Maximizing your first-time savings with a discount coupon, while using an EA to prevent drawdown breaches — that's the winning combination for mastering prop firms in 2026.

Is Fintokei's SwiftTrader Plan a Trap for the Unwary? Cheap, Fast, and 90% — But It Recovers Its Fee Through a 60-Day, 3% Box, Measured Against the Same Strategy as StartTrader, FTMO, and E8 [September 2026]

Fintokei's SwiftTrader plan was revised on July 15, 2026, to a 6% target, -2% daily loss, -3% overall loss, a 60-day time limit, and a 90% split. ¥20M for ¥93,800 looks cheaper than the challenge plan, but priced per ¥10,000 of loss allowance it's ¥1,563 versus ¥549 — 2.85x — and target ÷ loss allowance is 2.0 versus 0.8. In a Monte Carlo simulation, a high-frequency trader firing 3 times a day has a region where SwiftTrader wins below 0.5% risk per trade, but running the real "once a day" strategy through it shows -¥360K to -¥560K a year at 0.5%, with the 60-day window expiring 5 times a year. Run through the challenge plan, FTMO 2-Step, and E8 One with the same strategy, SwiftTrader comes in at 3-4x worse. It's overpriced for most people, and only makes sense for a narrow slice of high-frequency, high-win-rate traders.

The monthly fee is less than half at Topstep, but running the same lot size through evaluation to payout for a year gives FTMO Futures Pro the higher expected value ($50K, zero edge: +$4,836 vs. +$2,519).

Breakout Prop vs. Fintokei: Which Should You Buy? 'Narrow Room, No Rules' vs. 'Wide Room, Many Rules'

A head-to-head comparison of Breakout Prop, the Kraken-backed crypto prop firm, against Fintokei, the firm that runs end-to-end in Japanese. The fee as a percentage of account size is nearly identical (Breakout Pro 0.545% vs. Fintokei Sapphire 0.549%), but the substance is opposite. Breakout has just two rules — daily loss and max drawdown — with no consistency rule, no minimum trading days, and no per-trade risk cap, but its max drawdown is a narrow 3–6%. Fintokei has a wide 10% max drawdown, but a cap on floating loss at 3% of balance applies to the sum of all open positions. Looking at target ÷ max drawdown, how easy it is to pass differs by 1.7x to 3.3x. Measured on both official sites on September 16, 2026.
