Summary
I registered on December 1, 2024, and purchased my first challenges on December 3. I have only received one payout of 149 USD so far. Support is fast and polite, pricing is affordable, and the rules are straightforward. However, the firm was recently delisted from Prop Firm Match, and Trustpilot reviews are not particularly favorable. I will continue using them cautiously while monitoring the situation.
Timeline
December 1, 2024
I registered with Funding Traders.
December 3, 2024
I purchased two challenges.
December 20, 2024
One challenge was disqualified, but the other one passed.
January 9, 2025
Unfortunately, I was disqualified without ever receiving a payout from that account.
July 11, 2025
I reached out to confirm whether my trading approach was acceptable. I received a reply quickly and was told there were no issues. Based on my other interactions, responses generally came within 2 to 3 hours — and sometimes within minutes.
October 21, 2025
I received an email titled “Review from Risk Management.”
The content stated that I had incurred losses exceeding 4% in a single day (four consecutive 1% losses), and that I had placed two trades on a 10k account trading 0.15 lots of Gold with stop-losses hit within minutes (each resulting in a 1% loss).
I admit that I was trading this account with slightly larger lot sizes and higher frequency than my other accounts. At the time, most of my accounts with other firms were 50k or 100k, so I was taking on excessive risk to try to generate meaningful returns from a 10k account. The reason I was using a 10k account with Funding Traders was that there were many negative reviews at the time, and I had not yet received a payout from them. In other words, I was testing with a small account because I was unsure whether payouts on larger accounts would be honored. This may come across as disrespectful to the firm, but I consider this kind of approach part of risk management. In any case, I was taking more risk than usual for my own reasons, and I received a warning. No restrictions or penalties were applied.
November 4, 2025
I received my first payout — 149 USD, processed without any issues.
March 2026
As of now, I have only received one small payout of 149 USD. Support is fast and polite. Based on my personal records, trading costs are lower compared to other firms. Pricing is affordable and there are no particularly complex rules. However, the firm was recently delisted from Prop Firm Match, and Trustpilot reviews are not very positive either.
I prioritize my own experience over online reviews. I have not yet received a large payout, so I cannot say how things will go — but my experience so far has been good. That said, I do not ignore online reviews entirely. I plan to continue using them while keeping a close eye on the situation.
