Early last year, the prop firm announced a “temporary pause on all operations” following complaints of payout denials.
Recently, the company announced that it paid $386,000 to clients in March.
Proprietary trading firm The Funded Trader has announced
that it has obtained the approval to offer the cTrader platform to US clients. The company’s collaboration with cTrader reportedly enabled this.
🚨 Big news: We’re now officially approved to offer cTrader to U.S. clients following a comprehensive compliance review! 🇺🇸
Thanks to @cTrader for the partnership — we’re committed to global accessibility.
More updates coming soon. 🌍

Early last year, TFT announced plans for a significant migration to the cTrader platform. The company’s notice included instructions
and details for the transition process, which reportedly affected an estimated
4,700 individuals.
Around the same time, the company, along with other proprietary trading firms, moved to DXTrade, a shift that was part of a broader trend in the proprietary trading landscape after MetaQuotes implemented strict compliance measures, particularly targeting the US market.
TFT’s challenges began when the company “temporarily paused all operations” with promises of a relaunch. “Over the coming week, we will
follow up with specifics as we work to resume operations,” a notice on the prop
trading firm’s website noted with a countdown timer of 21 days.
I wanted to address you all personally. You have been the lifeblood of TFT. You have fought in battle with me day in and day out for years. You have participated in one of the greatest movements in history and have delivered to me what I dreamed of, this community.
After keeping clients waiting for a payout for a year, TFT adopted a new strategy. Its CEO and
founder, Angelo Ciaramello, disclosed some of the trader payout statistics, which
reached $386,000 in March.

On Discord, the company said that it paid $386,000 to
clients who successfully passed the challenge and earned on their funded
account since the beginning of the month.
