Disappointing Experience with Funder Trading
I recently tried Funder Trading hoping to benefit from their funding programs but my experience was less than stellar Here are the key issues I encountered Lack of Transparency Funder Trading s fee structure and profit-sharing models were not clearly explained from the start I found myself buried under hidden costs and unexpected deductions which felt deceptive Slow Customer Service Whenever I had questions or issues the response time from their customer service team was abysmally slow I often had to wait several days for a reply which was frustrating and unhelpful Limited Educational Resources For a company that markets itself as a support system for traders their educational resources were surprisingly inadequate The training materials and webinars were either too basic or outdated leaving me without the guidance I needed to succeed Rigorous Evaluation Process While some might see their evaluation process as a challenge I found it overly stringent and unrealistic The criteria for passing were not clearly outlined leading to confusion and unnecessary stress Technical Issues I experienced frequent technical glitches with their trading platform including lag and connectivity problems This significantly impacted my trading performance and overall experience Questionable Performance Metrics The performance metrics and tracking tools provided were not very reliable I noticed discrepancies in my trading stats that made it difficult to assess my progress accurately Overall Funder Trading did not meet my expectations and I wouldn t recommend it based on my experience If you re considering using their services proceed with caution and be prepared for potential frustrations

Go with better companies that won t nazi the market
This is not a good prop firm with there way over priced challenge and the restrictions on what you can trade and how you can trade for the price I payed still feels like I payed to fail and was not able to get any of my money back before the first half of the 1st challenge was over and realized the options challenge was just as much as bs as the stock challenge it s like they are against easy money making strategies if I was able to use 2 leg options I would ha e passed easily but nope a restriction on those strategies after that I wanted my refund but was just ignored seeing how I was only using 1 challenge I would have accepted 2 3 of my money back seeing how nothing was informing me of all of the restrictions on trading this is for the the ones who think im talking about a different company Welcome to Funder Trading Arren we re excited to have you here and assist you on your journey toward becoming a funded trader Please watch this video from Funder Trading Coach Michael Patton thats the beginning of the intro email

So Scam the Scammer
So I ve been with Funder for a very long time and I m going to be upfront because there are really 2 ways to view this Funder is a scam plain and simple However if you know how to play their scam you can make excellent profits from your own options account So here s the breakdown Funder probably actually funds very few accounts but they want people to keep paying an average of 500 mo for their challenge The thing is they need to make sure you don t pass the challenge In order to do that they need to make sure your winning trades are losing trades etc Here s how it works Funder basically focuses on your entry not your trade And since they limit you to a 500 daily loss they can easily ruin excellent trades Here s one of 1000 examples I can give Remember when ARM had it s huge drop I shorted ARM 1000 shares at a price of 99 20 With every indicator on the planet showing this to be a good decision I knew I was making the right move I got kicked out of the trade as the price jumped up to 99 70 in about 15 seconds yep not exaggerating that 15 seconds But then guess what The price immediately began dropping again and did so throughout the rest of the day The price of ARM got all the way down to 89 the same day a would-be-win of 10 200 But yet I was kicked out of the trade for supposedly missing the perfect entry Minus 500 on a winning trade of 10 200 However I wasn t discouraged because I had made 9100 on my own personal options account anyway These types of missing the perfect entry moments happene quite often turning many many winning trades into kick-outs Then it hit me The proverbial light bulb moment Was I really missing perfect entry or is perfect entry controlled Here lies the scam Suppose you place an order for something let s say 1000 shares of HOOD going long at 50 per share You get in In order to kick you out someone working for Funder merely has to put in an order to sell 1000 shares at 49 50 This drops the price ruining your perfect entry and kicking you out They can then quickly repurchase shares without worry of a loss and you re gone for the day Now occasionally there is a lot of action taking place and they can t get focused enough to knock out everyone taking different positions but they don t stop there They rarely respect your stop losses and often give you losing trade-fills on winning trades For example not long ago I shorted UPST for 1000 shares at 77 each The price dropped to 76 50 I put stop-loss in at 76 80 which should guarantee a win of 200 However the trade closed and left me with a loss of 30 This happens very very often So how do you scam them back After wising up to their system I learned to use it to my advantage My personal account is doing great because I am setting up my entry positions based on the Funder scam Here s how you do it Find a trade that you know is a winner Today for example shorting PDD after it s big jump Check out what the options are selling for then find your point of logical entry For example I decided the ideal point of entry to short PDD was 127 50 when it is breaking through retesting the 20 SMA Then I looked at what the options were selling for there which was about 235 contract I typically do 10 contracts and decided I wanted them to be at 200 contract instead So I go on True Edge Funder and I short PDD 700 shares Almost immediately the price of PDD jumped up over a dollar it was practically instantaneous and of course I got kicked out of the trade for missing perfect entry However my options contracts on my personal account filled at 199 contract Just like expected PDD immediately turned back down and within 3 minutes my Funder trade would have been well into the green PDD continued downward filling the gap at 124 50 and still going lower I closed my contracts at the gap fill profiting 280 contact about 140 gain Note Funder would have made 2100 but I was kicked out However thanks to playing their scam my contracts each made an additional 36 apiece netting me an extra 360 total People I do this ALL THE TIME daily and sometimes I m lucky enough to jump out before getting kicked out and I can do it twice per day My personal account went from making a decent 5-figures to a solid 6-figures By my best estimates I m gaining an extra 1000 per week thanks to their scam Now keep in mind on occasion they will give you a nice victory After all if you lose all the time then you don t believe you can succeed and you won t pay to try again But actually passing the challenge isn t going to happen However I will gladly continue to pay 500 mo in order to gain an extra 1000 week So at the end of the day you could call the 1-star a 5-star if used wisely

How Funder Trading have helped my trading skills
MIKE PATTON S COACHING STYLE has helped me get to where I am today as a brand new trader I have been with Funder now since October 2023 I am very new to Trading and came in with very very little skills in this arena The coaching style is based on experience and is very hands on The PROP REPORTS is the key to this whole thing as it really tracks for you what you are doing every day and every hour This report is the game changer for me It is the scoreboard that I look at everyday to see how much I have improved I started with a Batting Average of 16 and Win to Lose Ratio of 27 Today my Batting Average is now close to 40 and my win to lose ratio is currently above 1 35 I now know when I should be trading what stocks I should be trading and how many contracts I need to do my options trading I am not quite funded yet but I know that I will get there SOON The support team has been nothing but FANTASTIC They are responsive understanding and very accommodating with my very busy schedule Their tech support is a text away I also live in the Chicago area and know where their corporate office is located This give me such a comforting feeling that they are not outside the United States and would potentially disappear on me without notice just like other Prop firms I have joined in the passed I definitely recommend Funder Trading to anybody who wants to get a funded account of 100 000 nothing like them anywhere I searched high and low for a company who offered a challenge for this much money everywhere There are a lot of Companies who provides this for trading in the FOREX Market---but not OPTIONS

Get off the fence and TRADE
My experience with Funder Trading hasnt just improved my trading but has Pushed my life in the right direction all around When I passed the challenge I also made all my money back and they honored the 100 profit 100 Honestly I was surprised How incredible of people they proved themselves to be They have really become my family in a sense and They have done more to help me than many families do for eachother If you read another review and its anything less than excellent its more than likely because the person was mad at themselves for not taking my Coach and Boss Michael s Advice or they didnt take advantage of how extraordinarily helpful Danny is Who runs the help desk and a large chunk of the company as a whole These people went so far out of their way to help me so many times I will be forever loyal and grateful to them and I hope to someday Invest In and maybe even run my own wing of the company This is because literally ANYONE can become a successful trader through Funder Trading I am hella bullish on funder trading Too bad FT is already a ticker symbol Im not nearly as bullish on that ticker

THANK YOU to Funder Trading
Day trading is hard work If you go into it believing otherwise you ll figure it out quickly Having said that it can be a very rewarding experience - working where and when you want living the life you want and making a very good living But you can t do this on your own The Funder Trading team have gone ABOVE and BEYOND to help me in my journey as a day trader The patience and support of the team - Danny Greenberg in particular - have been remarkable I would recommend Funder without reservation to anyone who is serious about learning this craft and who appreciates the guidance and support of a professional organization
