Funding Traders Technical Infrastructure
Funding Traders, based in the United Arab Emirates, was established in April 2023. It is a CFD proprietary trading firm offering PRO (1-step), Pro6 (2-step), Pro10 (2-step), and Instant Funded programs. Account sizes range from $10,000 to $300,000. Two platforms are supported: MT5 and TradeLocker. A coupon code (LOVE) delivers 31% off applicable programs. The firm introduced a Zero to Hero initiative in January 2025.
The PRO 1-step program is available at three sizes: $10,000 at $90.00, $25,000 at $199.00, and $200,000 at $999.00. The Pro6 2-step program covers four sizes: $10,000 at $59.00, $25,000 at $119.00, $100,000 at $419.00, and $200,000 at $799.00. The Pro10 2-step is offered at $10,000 for $99.00 and $200,000 for $999.00. The Instant Funded program is listed at $50,000 for $449.00. No discounted prices are published for these accounts; the LOVE coupon applies at checkout. Payments are accepted via Credit/Debit Card and Crypto.
Two platforms are supported: MT5 and TradeLocker. Tradable instruments include FX, Metals, Indices, Energy, Crypto, and Other Commodities. Leverage is uniform at 1:50 for FX and 1:20 for Metals and Indices across all program types. Energy leverage of 1:10 is available on Instant accounts only. Crypto leverage is 1:2 on Instant and 1-step accounts, and 1:1 on 2-step accounts. News trading on funded 1-step and 2-step accounts is permitted, but a maximum of 30% of total profit may be derived from news trades. On Instant funded accounts, opening positions within 5 minutes before or after high-impact news is a hard breach. Weekend crypto holding is prohibited on Instant accounts; Instant traders must close crypto positions at least 1 hour before the Friday market close. Weekend holding of crypto is permitted on 1-step and 2-step programs.
The profit split is 80% to 90% across programs, with a 100% split available as a paid add-on. On 1-step and 2-step accounts, payouts are processed every 21 days, reduced to 14 days with a payout add-on. Instant Funded accounts are paid on a bi-weekly schedule. The minimum payout via Riseworks is $200; via Crypto it is $50. Instant accounts require a minimum 1% of the starting account balance before any withdrawal. Instant accounts also carry a 3% Safety Cushion ā the first 3% of profit is not withdrawable. Payout methods are Bank Transfer, Crypto, and Riseworks.
Funding Traders prohibits grid trading, reverse trading, overleveraging, one-sided trading, account rolling and stacking, and HFT on funded accounts. The VWHT (Volume-Weighted Hold Time) rule requires trades to be held for a realistic period averaging at least 2 minutes across all positions. On Instant accounts, the maximum position size is 20 lots per trade, the biggest single loss must not exceed the biggest single win, and maximum risk per trade is 1% of account balance. On 1-step and 2-step accounts, the maximum risk per trade idea is 2%. Copy trading between the trader's own Funding Traders accounts or from external accounts is allowed; copying trades from other traders' accounts is prohibited. EAs that assist with risk or trade management are permitted, as are AI-generated EAs provided the trader understands the underlying code and strategy. Inactivity beyond 30 consecutive days on both challenge and funded accounts results in account termination.
