Funding Traders
Disclosure score 83/100 — Well documented. This measures how much Funding Traders publishes about its own rules on the pages we have verified. It is not a judgement of whether the firm is good, and a low score can simply mean we have not read enough of its site yet.
Funding Traders is well documented at 83/100: 5 of 9 criteria published in full, 3 in part, and 1 not found on the pages we read. If you are choosing on regulator or licence or legal entity, read the firm's own pages before you pay.

Why you can trust this page
Every figure comes from Funding Traders's own terms, rules or help pages (Tier B) or a legal document or register (Tier A); nothing from aggregators or review sites is used to state a fact. The score is nine published criteria with nine published weights — recompute it from the table below. Outbound links may earn a referral fee; they cannot move a score, a rank, or a word on this page.
How the 83/100 breaks down
Every weight is published. Add the right-hand column and you get the score — no hidden weighting, no editorial adjustment. If you disagree with a line, you can say exactly which one.
| Criterion | Weight | Awarded | What it means here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limit fully specified | 15 | 12 | Percentage, basis, whether it is measured on balance or equity, and the reset time. All four, or partial credit. |
| Maximum loss limit fully specified | 15 | 15 | Percentage, static or trailing, and the reference point it trails from. |
| Consistency rule formula published | 12 | 12 | The formula, not just the percentage. An explicit “no consistency rule” scores full marks. |
| Payout terms fully specified | 15 | 15 | Split, frequency, profitable-day requirements and minimum amounts, for every cycle offered. |
| Soft-breach rules disclosed | 10 | 10 | Profit deductions, warning systems and split reductions that cost money without closing the account. |
| Legal entity identified | 10 | 6 | Entity name, jurisdiction and company registration number. |
| Regulator or licence disclosed | 8 | 0 | A named regulator and licence number, or a clear statement that there is none. |
| Restricted countries named | 8 | 8 | The actual list, not a generic clause about unlawful jurisdictions. |
| Rule changes dated and traceable | 7 | 5 | Changes carry effective dates and state whether existing accounts are affected. |
| Total | 100 | 83 |

Soft breaches — where money disappears without the account closing
Funded accounts: profit from trades opened, held or closed within ±5 minutes of red-folder news may not exceed 30% of total profit, or the payout is delayed until it does. The 'Discipline Program' and 'Clarity Desk' track flags, strikes and deductions short of termination. An account that fails within 48 hours of a payout request has the payout denied and the amount credited back.

Who you are actually contracting with
Most firms split the simulated-trading operator from the execution entity. Which entity you face can depend on the platform you pick, and that changes your counterparty risk. Nobody else puts this in a comparison.

Questions about Funding Traders, answered from the record
How is the Funding Traders daily loss limit calculated?
On 1-Step Pro, the daily loss limit is 3% of the balance recorded at day start, measured on balance or equity. That basis is the part most comparison tables leave out, and it changes the dollar floor from day two onward.
Is the Funding Traders maximum drawdown static or trailing?
Trailing, intraday: 10% from the highest end-of-day balance on 1-Step Pro. Because it trails, the breach floor rises as the account makes money; read the review for the lock rule.
Does Funding Traders have a consistency rule?
Yes: 50%, defined as best day as a share of total profit (payout eligibility) on 1-Step Pro.
Has Funding Traders changed rules retroactively?
Not on our record. 1 rule change logged for Funding Traders, none applied to accounts that already existed.
What is the Funding Traders disclosure score?
83/100, computed from nine published criteria with published weights. It measures how much Funding Traders publishes about its own rules, not whether the firm is good.
