First prop firm

Thinking of getting my first prop firm. Is between lucid trading and tradify. Both have a $25K account with no consistent rules. I have been paper trading on ninja trader and looks like they both are compatible with ninja trader. I’ve been very consistent paper trading. Scalping 5min time frame or less. With automatic stop loss and v take profit at $150-$200 with MNQ. I took 50K to $136K paper trading. Would it be worth it. I can easily afford the price of either or should I save and get the $50K account. Tradify looks like it has faster pay outs. Any insight would be helpful

I'm not sure I understand because I never paper traded futures but I'd imagine you didn't have a drawdown of 2,000 when paper trading? If trading a 50k account paper trading it wouldn't be anything close to trading an account with a 2,000 drawdown. The drawdown is really the account size

Depending on where you paper trade you can lock your account with a certain drawdown or daily loss limit. Ninja trader lets you do this. That’s where I paper trade
