A Comprehensive Guide to The Funded Trader Bonus Pool Program

TFT has launched a Bonus Pool, a monthly reward system that gives our top-performing traders extra cash bonuses on top of their profit.

Updated over 2 months ago

💡 What Is the Bonus Pool?

The Bonus Pool is a new reward system for traders who have reached Tier 5 (99% payout split) in our Profitable Trader Program. Each month, a portion of The Funded Trader’s net profit is distributed to these top performers based on their actual results and contribution to the firm.

This is our way of directly sharing in the success of our best traders and creating a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship.


✅ Bonus Pool Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the Bonus Pool:

  • You must have at least one active Funded account in Tier 5 (99% payout split) at the end of the month

  • Your monthly net PnL aggregated across all of your Funded accounts must be net positive at the end of the month


💰 Bonus Pool Value

  • We allocate a substantial portion of our monthly profits to reward our top-performing Tier 5 traders


📊 How Bonuses Are Calculated

Traders earn a share of the Bonus Pool based on their net PnL performance relative to other qualified traders.

Your Bonus = (Your Monthly Net Funded Account PnL ÷ Total Monthly Net PnL of All Qualified Traders) × Total Bonus Pool

Note: We aim to release metrics about Total Monthly Net PnL of All Qualified Traders by the 10th day of the following month and provide bonus pool payments by the 15th day of the following month.


🔢 Example Scenarios

Example 1 — Performance-Based Bonus:

  • Your Monthly Net PnL on Funded Accounts: $20,000 (sum of below performance results for a given month)

    • Funded Account A: -$5,000

    • Funded Account B: $10,000

    • Funded Account C: $15,000

  • Total Qualified Trader Monthly Net PnL: $200,000

    → You've contributed 10% of the qualified trader performance

    → You receive 10% of the monthly bonus pool


🗳️ Monthly Community Vote

At the end of each month, qualified Tier 5 traders vote on how the pool is distributed:

  1. Keep private — Exclusive to Tier 5 traders only

  2. Public Competition — Turn bonus pool into prizes for a leaderboard-style competition event

  3. Share Down — Distribute a flat amount to all Tier 3+ funded accounts

This gives our top traders both a reward and a voice in how rewards are shared.


📅 When Are Bonuses Paid?

  • Bonuses are calculated and paid once per month

  • You’ll receive an email and see a separate bonus line item in your payout dashboard

  • Payouts follow the same processing speed as your regular withdrawals


🎯 Why We Created the Bonus Pool

We believe this industry must move toward rewarding skill, discipline, and long-term trading excellence — not just one-off wins. The Bonus Pool lets us reinvest directly into the traders who are growing with us and shaping the future of the program.
