What is an "FT+ Trader Account"

An “FT+ Trader Account” is the term we used to describe a simulated live account.

Prohibited Countries

Due to the international sanctions regimes currently in place we are unable to do business with traders from the following countries:

(1) Cuba;

(2) North Korea;

(3) Syria;

(4) Islamic Republic of Iran; and

(5) Myanmar.

If you are a trader operating in one of the prohibited countries listed then please do not place any orders with us, as we cannot guarantee that any purchases will be able to be refunded, nor can we guarantee that any funds generated as a result of your successful trading could be passed on to you.

We understand that this may be disappointing, and we keep this situation under regular review.

Can I use NinjaTrader or Tradestation as my trading platform?

No, Neither NinjaTrader nor Tradestation are connected to our platform. 

If you want to make your trading decisions on NinjaTrader or Tradestation you can continue to do so and you can execute the trades on our existing platforms. Many professional traders prefer to execute trades on a different platform from their analysis.

Our traders also do not need to pay the high exchange connection fees associated with trading on NinjaTrader and Tradestation.

You cannot trade the same markets at the same time on more than one account, please see our rules on copy trading under our FAQ section of the website.


Our maximum initial funding (AUM) is $400,000, which means one simulated live Experienced $200,000 (or $250,000 if the “Boost” Promotion is active) account, one simulated live $200,000 Advanced account or one simulated live $200,000 Premium account. Not one merged $400,000 account.

General

Will I pay tax on earnings? US Citizens

As an FT+ contractor you will be classified as an independent contractor. As a UK company, we are not linked to the IRS in the US, and we are under no obligation to provide them with information on the earnings of US-based contractors. We will give you a contractor service agreement, and you will invoice us. It will then be up to you how you report your earnings in the states. This is the way we have been working with US contractors, if you think this wrong, please let us know – we are happy to investigate.

Do funded traders have a contract?

As an FT+ contractor you will be classified as an independent contractor for Funded Trading Plus. You will be asked to sign a service agreement before an “FT+ trader account” is allocated.

Do you permit Copy Trading?

We do not permit copy trading of any kind across accounts.

This also includes having the same positions on the same market in the same direction open at the same time across more than one account. So for example if you were to open a trade on Gold at 10.30am and closed at 11.30am, you would not be able to open a position on gold on another account during that time.

Please keep this is mind when trading multiple accounts. So if the accounts are flagged for copy trading, profit may be nullified based on our T&C’s

Where are your terms and conditions?

You can find a copy of our terms and conditions here. https://www.fundedtradingplus.com/terms-conditions/

Can I have more than one account under different names?

No. When you become a “FT+ Trader” we will need a contract in your name For legal reasons it’s not possible for us to pay if the name does not match the name on your accounts, contract and identity documents.

You can have any number of evaluation accounts you wish to trade. We will only fund two simulated live accounts at a time. We will only merge simulated live accounts if the accounts are both untraded, and the maximum merged account can be $200,000 since that is our highest value program currently.

How do I demonstrate good Risk Management?

Risk Management Assessment

All traders who reach the profit target of their evaluation will have their trades assessed by our risk management team before a funded traded account is approved. If the risk management team sees evidence of trading that is deemed to not follow proper trade risk management we reserve the right to not give the trader a simulated live account (“FT+ Trader Account”).

A trader who looks to take a limited number of trades at maximum leverage and finds that these simulated trades hit the simulated profit target will not have shown us sufficient evidence of proper risk management.

A simulated trade is not necessarily defined by a single trade execution on our trading platform. A trade may also be multiple executions or similar entries on the same market and held at the same time.

In normal circumstances the customer will be given the benefit of the doubt. We have found however that there are people who are prepared to accept the loss of their fee and take extreme over-leveraged trades to pass their evaluation phase/s in hours or days. 

We have also noticed a number of ‘toxic’ simulated trades that are taking advantage of generous demo conditions to establish a risk-free position – this is a form of arbitrage.

As you may know, we review every passed evaluation account. There are obvious red flags that indicate if a person is using ‘toxic’ methods such as arbitrage. In this case, we will perform an in-depth review of the simulated trades taken. If we identify that a trader is using ‘toxic’ methods of trading such as but not limited to “arbitrage”, they may be banned and not given any further accounts. Toxic trading identification is standard practice across all the industry throughout the world.

Whilst we accept EAs as part of trading, please make sure that EAs used do not trade based on the above methods, or it could result in account bans without refund or withdrawals. You must be prepared to submit your EA for approval in order to receive a simulated live account (“FT+ Trader Account”).

The overwhelming majority of people do not abuse our  platform when undertaking our programs, so this notice will not affect them.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us on support@fundedtradingplus.com.

What is abuse of demo trading conditions?

This is any trading that seeks to gain an unrealistic advantage or “edge” on a demo trading environment. This includes but is not limited to arbitrage.
