Futures Prop Trading With Prime, Frees, Direct Prime, Volumetrica & No Minimum Challenge Days
Taurus Arena is a futures prop trading platform offering simulated evaluation accounts through Prime and Frees models, plus Direct Prime accounts for traders who want direct access to a SIM TPA / Profit Account without completing a challenge. Traders get access to Volumetrica, clear risk parameters, optional EOD Drawdown and an 85% trader payout split.
Taurus Arena Futures Programs
Taurus Arena offers Prime, Frees and Direct Prime setups. No discount code is included here. Always confirm current pricing, platform access, active promotions and payout conditions directly on the official checkout page before purchasing.
Firm Overview
Taurus Arena is a futures-focused simulated prop firm operated by Dalcia Ltd. Traders choose a setup, complete a challenge or select Direct Prime, and then progress into a simulated Profit Account where payouts may be requested if all rules are met.
Prime
Monthly challenge model with a one-time activation fee after passing. Prime uses the same core targets and drawdown values as Frees.
Frees
Monthly challenge model with no activation fee after passing. Frees generally costs more monthly but avoids the post-challenge activation fee.
Direct Prime
One-time fee account that gives direct access to a simulated Profit Account without completing an evaluation challenge.
Platforms & Trading Tools
Taurus operates on Volumetrica. Accounts are also compatible with external platforms such as ATAS and Quantower, but Taurus states that issues on third-party platforms must be handled directly with those providers. Taurus includes Volumetrica Web, DeepChart or VolBook licensing, order-flow tools and built-in copy trading through Volumetrica Web.
