Prop Firm Challenges With No Time Limit: Full 2026 List
Last updated: July 2026. "No time limit" is one of the most misused phrases in prop firm marketing — most firms that advertise it still have a fine-print catch. Here's what's actually true right now.
Firms confirmed to have no time limit (2026)
| Firm | Structure | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| FTMO | 2-Step (Challenge + Verification) | Minimum 4 trading days per phase still required |
| The5ers | 1-Step (Hyper Growth / High Stakes) | Minimum trading day requirements vary by program |
Other firms — FXIFY, FundedNext, Funding Pips, and RebelsFunding among them — also currently advertise no-time-limit evaluations. We're only listing the two we've directly verified rule pages for; treat "no time limit" claims from any firm as something to confirm on their live rules page before buying, not something to take from a marketing headline.
The fine print that "no time limit" doesn't cover
- Minimum trading days. FTMO requires at least one trade on 4 separate days per phase — you can't pass in a single session even with unlimited time.
- Inactivity rules. Some firms auto-close accounts after a set number of consecutive days with zero trades, which functions as a soft time limit even when there's no hard deadline.
- Daily and max drawdown still apply. No time limit doesn't mean no risk limit — you can still fail on day one by breaching the daily loss rule regardless of how much time you'd otherwise have left.
Who actually benefits from no time limit
This rule matters most for traders who can't commit to daily screen time — part-time traders with day jobs, or anyone running a lower-frequency swing strategy that might not generate a signal for a week. If you're a full-time scalper trading daily anyway, a time limit was probably never your binding constraint — your daily loss limit is (see our FTMO vs The5ers scalper comparison).
Bottom line
FTMO and The5ers both currently hold up their no-time-limit claims with verifiable rule pages. Before buying any challenge marketed as "no time limit," check the firm's own rules page for minimum trading days and inactivity policies — that's where the real constraint usually hides.
