What is The Funded Trader and how does it work?
The Funded Trader LLC is organized under Texas law and has been providing evaluation services to traders since 2021. The Funded Trader offers Customers the opportunity to have their trading evaluated in selected markets on a simulated basis through demo accounts and shares the results of such evaluations with a partnered proprietary trading firm. Qualified Customers receive remuneration for the data that they provide to the proprietary firm, calculated based on net gain, if any, achieved by Customers from their simulated trading in demo accounts. This is our business model and how we are able to offer what we consider to be an exciting product and service to our passionate community.

Is TFT regulated?
As a US-based company, The Funded Trader LLC is organized under Texas law and provides evaluation services to its Customers. The Funded Trader offers Customers the opportunity to trade selected markets on a simulated basis in demo accounts for evaluation purposes only, and is not a broker or financial institution. With this being the case, TFT is not registered with any U.S. regulatory body.
Are my funds safe with The Funded Trader?
The Funded Trader offers Customers the opportunity to have their trading evaluated in selected markets on a simulated basis in demo accounts, and is not a broker or financial institution. As such, The Funded Trader does not retain any Customer funds in investments or otherwise, or offer Customers the opportunity to trade their own funds.
What is TFT doing to safeguard payouts?
Payouts to Customers whose trading on a simulated basis produces net gain, and complies with the requirements and conditions established by our proprietary trading partner, are tracked and monitored by a finance team dedicated to forecasting liquidity and cash requirements, inclusive of payouts. The proprietary firm continuously analyzes and attempts to ensure that the proprietary firm is prepared for all foreseeable financial obligations.
Are the brokers TFT partners with regulated?
We are partnered with third-party brokers which are regulated by various non-U.S. regulatory bodies. This was an important criterion when looking for partners to work with.
