The Funded Trader

Why I Chose The Funded Trader?

I came across TFT while searching for a prop firm with high profit splits, flexible rules, and realistic evaluation criteria. Compared to other firms like FTMO or My Forex Funds, TFT stood out because of:

 Huge Capital – Start with up to $400,000 and scale to $1.5 million
 High Profit Split – Keep up to 90% of profits
 Flexible Trading Rules – Hold trades overnight and on weekends
 Fast Payouts – Receive profits as early as 14 days after passing the challenge
Affordable Challenge Fees – Lower than many competitors


My Experience with the TFT Challenge

Like most prop firms, TFT requires traders to pass a two-phase evaluation before getting a funded account. Here's how my journey went:

Phase 1: The First Challenge

 Profit Target: 10%
 Max Daily Drawdown: 5%
Max Overall Drawdown: 10%
 Minimum Trading Days: 5 days

I traded Forex and indices with a focus on risk management. The leverage of 1:200 helped me maximize my gains while staying within risk limits. It took me 8 days to hit the profit target, and I moved to Phase 2.

Phase 2: The Final Test

 Profit Target: 5%
 Same Risk Rules Apply

Since the target was lower, I traded conservatively and passed within 5 days.


The Best Part – Getting Funded & Making Money!

After passing the challenge, I received my funded account within 2 days. The real money trading conditions were exactly the same as the challenge, and my first payout came in 14 days. I withdrew $2,500 in my first month, and the process was smooth and hassle-free.

One of the biggest advantages of TFT is that they don’t force you to trade in a specific way. Whether you scalp, swing trade, or day trade, you have the freedom to trade your strategy.
