Is Ftytrade a broker?
No. Ftytrade is a funding and evaluation platform, not a broker. We never hold client deposits and all accounts are simulated.

No. Ftytrade is not a broker, dealer, exchange, futures commission merchant or financial institution.
What Ftytrade is
Ftytrade is a futures funding platform. We provide simulated trading accounts on real-time market data, evaluate your trading and risk-management skills, and pay out a share of the results you generate on Funded and Fty Direct accounts.
What this means for you
- You never deposit trading funds. The only amount you pay is the fee for your challenge or account.
- You never risk your own funding. The maximum you can lose is the fee you paid.
- Your accounts are simulated. Orders are executed on simulated accounts that follow the real market in real time; no live orders are placed on an exchange on your behalf.
- Payouts are real. They are paid from Ftytrade’s own funds, not from any pooled client money.
Market data and platforms
Market data is delivered through Rithmic and other independent data providers. The trading platforms you use (TradingThings, Quantower, MotiveWave and others) are products of their respective companies. Ftytrade is not affiliated with or endorsed by any exchange, data provider or platform.
Not investment advice
Nothing on Ftytrade is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial product. Ftytrade is an evaluation and educational service.
