🚨 VERY BAD EXPERIENCE — TRADERS, BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PROP FIRM! 🚨
Honestly, this is one of the most frustrating prop-firm experiences I have ever had.
Their drawdown rule is extremely tricky, especially for traders who hold positions overnight. The way they explain the rule in their FAQ does not make the practical consequence obvious enough, and I believe many traders can easily misunderstand it and end up losing their accounts.
They say the drawdown is calculated from your starting equity, and that neither your balance nor your equity must reach the drawdown threshold.
Sounds simple, right?
But here is the problem.
Your previous day's balance can already put you in breach when the new trading day starts, because the new day's drawdown threshold is recalculated from your starting equity.
For example, if your new day's starting equity is $10,000 and your daily drawdown limit is 3%, your threshold is $9,700.
Now imagine you were holding a trade overnight and your previous day's balance was $9,600.
When the new day starts, you could already be below the new day's $9,700 threshold.
You can therefore wake up to an account breach without making a new loss that day.
This is the part I find extremely frustrating.
If you are going to create a rule this important, EXPLAIN IT CLEARLY. This is so tricky it's a trap what this propfirm want is to collect people money and find a way to breach the account so trader will not get payout run for your mental health stability
Don't simply say that the balance or equity must not reach the drawdown threshold. Tell traders explicitly:
“If your previous day's balance is already below the following day's calculated drawdown threshold, your account can be breached when the new trading day begins.”
That is the kind of information traders need to see clearly BEFORE buying an account.
Instead, a trader can look at “3% daily drawdown,” assume it works like the normal equity-based drawdown rules used by many other prop firms, hold a trade overnight, and then suddenly discover that the account has been breached because of the relationship between yesterday's balance and today's threshold.
That is a terrible experience for a trader.
And for traders who hold positions overnight, this is especially dangerous. A trade can be profitable, you can be managing your position normally, and yet the way the daily threshold is calculated can create a situation where your account is already below the new day's limit.
I personally think this is an unnecessarily complicated and trader-unfriendly way of implementing a daily drawdown rule.
THIS IS A WARNING TO OTHER TRADERS:
Do NOT buy an account without completely understanding this rule.
Ask them directly:
❌ Can yesterday's closing balance cause a breach on the next trading day?
❌ Is the daily drawdown calculated from starting equity?
❌ Is the threshold checked against both balance AND equity?
❌ What happens if I hold a position overnight?
❌ Can I be breached at the beginning of a new day without taking a new loss?
Get the answers in writing before spending your money.
I am extremely disappointed with this experience. A prop firm should make its risk rules crystal clear, not leave traders to discover complicated consequences only after their account is affected.
READ EVERYTHING. DON'T ASSUME. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID.
For me, this experience has completely changed how I look at this prop firm, and I would strongly advise traders to understand this specific rule before putting their money into an account.
⚠️ 3% daily drawdown may sound simple. The calculation behind that 3% is what you need to investigate.

DO NOT BUY A FUNDINGTRADERS ACCOUNT
I have been trading for over 6 years and currently have more than $800,000 in funded capital with other prop firms. FundingTraders is the only firm where I have experienced problems like these.
I purchased a $200,000 account for around $500 with a 100% profit split and successfully passed both the Challenge and Verification. I had NO execution problems during those stages. The problems started only after I received the Funded account.
After passing, they told me I had used too much lot size during the evaluation, even though there was no clear maximum lot-size rule for the Challenge/Verification. They then restricted me to 1% risk per Trade Idea, 30% maximum margin and mandatory Stop Loss. My original 100% profit split was eventually reduced to 60/40.
Then the execution problems started. On the Funded account, I experienced positions on XAUUSD, US30, US100 and GER30 opening immediately hundreds of dollars negative. Even 1 lot on Gold could open around $500–$600 negative. On other trades I saw differences ranging from approximately $400 to $1,000.
The first serious US30 incident was with 30 lots. The position appeared around $3,000 negative almost immediately and was eventually closed at a $7,140 loss. My account was closed for risk. I disputed the execution and had to wait approximately ONE WEEK while they investigated it. In the end, FundingTraders reactivated my account and credited the full $7,140 back.
I gave them another chance. That was a mistake.
On my latest US30 trade I used only 17 lots. My recorded entry was 51,889 and my Stop Loss was 51,999. That is 110 points × $17 = $1,870 risk, approximately 0.94% of a $200,000 account — BELOW their 1% limit.
Yet the position opened around $800 negative. It later went approximately $1,800 into profit before reversing. When I was around $1,500 negative, I manually tried to close it.
The final recorded execution was 52,030 for a $2,397 loss, even though my Stop Loss was at 51,999. On the TradingView, MT4 and MT5 charts I was monitoring, I could not see the price reaching 52,030 at the time my position was closed.
Immediately afterwards, my account was marked:
“FAILED – MAXIMUM RISK PER TRADE IDEA.”
My planned risk according to the recorded entry and Stop Loss was approximately 0.94%, yet my account was failed for maximum risk.
I could dispute this again, just as I did with the $7,140 trade. But I will not waste another week. Even if they reactivate the account, I DO NOT WANT IT BACK.
I had no such execution problems during Challenge or Verification. They started on the Funded account and occurred across multiple instruments.
After more than 6 years of trading and over $800,000 funded with other firms, FundingTraders is the only firm where I have experienced this repeatedly.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND FUNDINGTRADERS. DO NOT BUY.

I had experienced some misunderstandings and negative issues with the company, but the representatives did their best to resolve them. They tried to fix every issue that could be addressed within the rules. I had also made a withdrawal previously, and they certainly don't cause any trouble in that regard; I am definitely satisfied and appreciate their attentiveness.

Terrible support, I can't access their MT5 my accounts keep saying no connection and Im getting told theres no issue with the accounts at all.
