Funded Traders Global Review: Plans, Rules, and How It Compares

Funded Traders Global

Funded Traders Global (FTG) is a United States based CFD prop firm operating from 625 Kenmoor Ave. SE Ste. 210, Grand Rapids, MI 49546, an address published both in the firm's own site footer and on its Trustpilot profile. The firm sells simulated-account evaluations in three formats, a 1-Step, a 2-Step and a 3-Step, across seven account sizes from 5K to 500K. Its headline pitch is a 100% payout record, no time limits on any evaluation, no minimum or maximum trading days, and up to $500,000 in starting capital. Entry costs $60. This review covers the plan lineup, the rules that govern each format, and the points a buyer should confirm before paying. Every figure below was read from the firm's own pages on 2026-08-21.

Plans and pricing

FTG runs the same seven account sizes through all three evaluation formats, and prices each format differently. The 3-Step is consistently the cheapest route to a given account size and the 1-Step the most expensive, which is the trade-off the firm asks you to make: fewer stages cost more. At the 5K size all three formats converge on the same $60 fee. Every price below is the challenge fee shown on the firm's own program selector.

Three paid add-ons are offered at the time of purchase rather than as separate plans. Hold Over Weekend costs 10% of the fee and disables the rule that closes all positions on Friday. An increase of the gains share to 90% costs 20% of the fee. The 2-Step rulebook also lists a No Stop Loss add-on at 10%. These are priced as percentages of the challenge fee, so the real cost of a fully loaded 100K Pro account is higher than the headline number in the table.

Rules by format

The three formats are governed by genuinely different risk rules, and the differences matter more than the price gap. The 1-Step asks for a 10% equity growth target against a 5% daily loss limit and a 6% trailing drawdown, at 1:20 leverage. That drawdown trails the closed balance high-water mark until the account has returned 6%, at which point it locks permanently at the starting balance. The 2-Step asks for 10% then 5%, tightens the daily loss limit to 4%, but replaces the trailing drawdown with a fixed 8% that does not trail, at 1:30 leverage. The 3-Step asks for 5% at each of three stages, removes the daily loss limit entirely, and applies a fixed 5% non-trailing drawdown at 1:20 leverage.

Rules common to all three: no time limit, no minimum or maximum trading days, and a hard breach if no trade is placed for 30 days. All positions are closed on Friday at 3:45pm EST unless the weekend add-on is bought, which the firm classes as a soft breach. A stop loss is recommended but not required. The firm states it has no consistency rules and that expert advisors are welcome, both of which are stated on its homepage.

Pros

• No time limits and no minimum or maximum trading days on any of the three formats, so an evaluation cannot expire on the calendar.
• Three genuinely distinct risk structures at seven sizes each, including a 3-Step with no daily loss limit at all, which is uncommon.
• First withdrawal is available on demand, and the 1-Step trailing drawdown locks at the starting balance once the account has returned 6%.

Cons

• After the first withdrawal, profits can only be withdrawn once every 30 days, which is a slower cadence than the "payouts anytime" framing suggests.
• No trading platform is named anywhere on the firm's public site. The help centre's lot-size rules reference both ThinkMarkets and EightCap accounts, and the firm's Trustpilot company description names EightCap, while its own about page names ThinkMarkets.
• The legal disclaimer in the site's own footer names a different company, TradersEdgeFX, four times rather than Funded Traders Global.

How it compares

Against the CFD firms we track in a similar entry-price band, FTG's pricing is competitive and its verification record is not. FTMO opens at $79 with an Up to 90% split, a PropFirmMap score of 8.3 and a safety grade of A+. Alpha Capital Group opens at $50 with an 80% split, a score of 8.2 and an A+ safety grade. E8 Markets opens at $48 with an Up to 100% split, a score of 7.9 and an A+ safety grade. FTG opens at $60 with an Up to 90% split, a PropFirmMap score of 5.3 and a safety grade of D.

The gap is not about price. The four entry prices span $48 to $79, and FTG's headline split matches FTMO's. The gap is in the trust and transparency inputs behind the score: a Trustpilot profile at 3.1 from 32 reviews with only 2 reviews in the last 12 months, no platform disclosed publicly, and a footer naming another company. The three comparison firms are all substantially more reviewed and more consistently documented.

FTG publishes its own head-to-head table against FTMO on its homepage, claiming a $100 fee against $136 for a 10K account, no minimum trading days against 4, and an on-demand first payout against 14 days. That is the firm's own comparison and its own figures for a competitor, which we have not independently verified, so treat it as marketing rather than as data.

Trustpilot record

FTG's Trustpilot profile was claimed in October 2022 and currently shows 3.1 from 32 reviews. Only 2 of those reviews were left in the last 12 months. Trustpilot's own transparency panel on the profile notes that the company has no recent history of asking for reviews and has not replied to negative reviews. The recent feedback is genuinely mixed: an August 2026 review calls the firm legitimate at 4 stars, while a July 2026 one-star review disputes a breach decision, alleging the account was closed while the reviewer's loss remained inside the daily limit. A November 2024 review describes a five-day wait on a payout the firm advertises as available on demand. Thirty-two reviews is a small sample, and a reader should weigh it as such in both directions.

Verdict

Funded Traders Global is a reasonable fit for traders who specifically want an evaluation with no clock on it, want a choice between a trailing and a fixed drawdown model, or want a 3-Step route with no daily loss limit, and who are comfortable buying before knowing which trading platform they will be given. Its entry pricing is in line with more established CFD competitors, and its 3-Step ladder is cheaper than most at the larger sizes.

It is a weaker fit for traders who need the platform named before purchase, who need a verified public track record, or who need frequent withdrawals, since only the first payout is on demand and the rest are capped at one per 30 days. Its PropFirmMap score of 5.3 and safety grade of D reflect a thin and ageing public review record and inconsistent self-documentation, not any confirmed failure to pay. Confirm the baseline gains split and the platform in writing with support before buying.
