Here is our full independent review of Funded Trader Markets:
Funded Trader Markets (FTM) is a prop firm registered in Cyprus (HE462185) with operational offices in Dubai Digital Park, UAE, and an additional entity in Saint Lucia. CEO Revin Zabala runs a platform that has paid out $6.19M+ to traders across 160+ countries.
The most distinctive feature on the platform is on-chain payout verification: every performance reward is settled via the Arbitrum network and publicly verifiable on Arbiscan. This means any prospective trader can independently audit that withdrawals were actually processed — not just claimed in a PDF screenshot. It is a level of financial transparency that remains rare in the prop firm space.
Payout speed backs this up in practice: most rewards complete in under 20 minutes. The guarantee is one of the strongest available — if any payout takes longer than 24 hours, the delayed amount is doubled.
FTM suits traders who prioritise platform flexibility, payout transparency, and permissive trading rules. Four platforms are supported — MT5, cTrader, TradeLocker, and MatchTrader — giving traders genuine choice in their execution environment. All accounts are swap-free, news trading is permitted, and weekend holding is allowed. For traders who have been restricted on those activities at other firms, FTM’s ruleset is noticeably more permissive.
The 1-Step Nitro path with a 10% target suits confident traders who want a fast route to funding. The 2-Step path suits traders who want lower fees and more time to demonstrate consistency.
All programs are swap-free. News trading and overnight/weekend position holding are permitted across all program types.
Four supported platforms: MetaTrader 5, cTrader, TradeLocker, MatchTrader. Leverage up to 1:100. Instruments: forex pairs, commodities, indices, crypto. US residents are restricted from MT5 and cTrader services specifically (other platforms may be available subject to their jurisdiction — verify directly).
Restricted countries: Cuba, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, North Korea. Cyprus residents are also excluded from certain services.
Funded Trader Markets earns a 7.6 BestProp score. The on-chain payout verification is a genuine standout — transparent proof of payment that no PDF screenshot can match. The doubled-payout penalty for late settlements is the most aggressive guarantee we have reviewed. Four platform options, permissive trading rules (news, weekends, swap-free), and fees starting at $20 for the 1-Step make the entry barrier low.
The firm is newer and does not yet have a large Trustpilot footprint to assess independently. Max allocation of $300K is solid but trails the $450K–$600K ceiling offered by the largest firms. Overall a strong, transparent option — particularly for traders who want proof, not promises, that their payouts will arrive.
Here is our full independent review of FXIFY Futures:
FXIFY Futures Limited is the futures-dedicated arm of the FXIFY brand, launched in January 2025 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Separate from the main FXIFY CFD platform, FXIFY Futures focuses exclusively on CME-listed contracts tradeable through NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and TradingView. Despite being one of the newer futures prop firms, it has already distributed $35M+ in verified payouts — a strong output for a platform less than 18 months old.
Free Level 1 market data is included on all plans, and instant credential issuance means traders can be in the market within minutes of purchase. The maximum simulated capital ceiling is $750,000.
FXIFY Futures is built for futures traders who want clean programme structures, multiple platform choices, and the credibility of a firm backed by the established FXIFY ecosystem. Three platforms — NinjaTrader 8, Tradovate, and TradingView — cover the main futures trading environments without forcing traders into proprietary software.
The drawdown rules are strict by futures standards: 3–4% max drawdown on EOD (end-of-day) basis. Traders who are used to the dollar-based drawdowns typical of US futures firms will find FXIFY Futures more demanding. The trade-off is a cleaner, percentage-based framework that is consistent across account sizes.
All plans: free Level 1 market data included. First payout available from day 14, processed within 24–48 hours. Scaling ceiling: $750,000 in simulated capital.
Three platforms: NinjaTrader 8, Tradovate, TradingView. Instruments: CME-listed futures contracts. EOD (end-of-day) drawdown calculation — the daily loss limit resets at end of trading day rather than being a live intraday trailing figure. No maximum on trading days.
Drawdown of 3–4% max is among the tightest in the futures prop space — traders who run high-variance intraday strategies should size conservatively on this platform.
FXIFY Futures earns a 7.3 BestProp score. The FXIFY brand backing, Dublin HQ, $35M+ paid out in under 18 months, and three strong futures platform options (including TradingView) are solid foundations. The Expert Plan’s 90% default split — upgradeable to 100% with zero activation fees — is competitive. Free Level 1 data and instant credential issuance remove common friction points.
The 3–4% EOD max drawdown is the most restrictive limit across all futures firms we have reviewed and will not suit high-variance trading styles. Account size range ($50K–$150K base) is limited compared to firms offering $25K entry points or $400K+ ceilings. For disciplined futures traders who can operate within tight drawdown parameters and want a credible EU-based firm, FXIFY Futures is a strong option.
