The Funded Trader is permanently closed after a prolonged period of payout delays and rule changes. The firm's decline was one of the most public failures in prop trading history.
The Funded Trader (TFT) was a once-popular prop firm that experienced significant issues in late 2023 and early 2024. After a series of delayed payouts, changing rules, and community backlash, the firm eventually ceased operations. Many traders reported delays of weeks to months for payout processing, and the firm changed its challenge rules multiple times during this period.
