Apex Trader Funding, Aqua Futures, FuturesElite and Lvlup Futures advertise the highest split on this page at 100%, against a median of 95%. The top split usually requires a scaling plan or a paid add-on rather than being the default on a first account.

Lucid Trading sets the lowest first-phase profit target on this page at 5%. A lower target is not automatically easier - check it against the daily and maximum drawdown limits, which is where most evaluations are actually failed.
