Unlike many so-called "online prop firms" that rely on collecting fees from endless “qualification” processes, our business model is fundamentally different. We succeed by sharing in the profits of our funded traders.

We understand the immense value of a truly skilled trader: one exceptional trader can generate millions in profits, and that’s why we invest in finding and supporting the best.

Here’s the reality: out of every 1,000 traders we fund with $25,000 in capital, we know around 20 will rise to become $1 million/year superstars. For us, it’s not about how many fees we can collect—it’s about discovering and nurturing the talent that drives both our success and theirs.

Yes! In fact, most of our professional funded traders trade from home. And because we are a global prop firm we also provide instant funding for many international traders.

However, due to U.S. regulations we can not offer instant funding to citizens of the following countries: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Bahamas, Barbados, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bulgaria, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Central African Republic, Congo Free State, Cote D’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Crimea, Croatia, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guyana, Iceland, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Kosovo, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Mauritius, Mongolia, Montenegro, Nicaragua, North Korea, North Macedonia, Panama, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.

No! Because of our unique prop firm structure we created. TradeFunddr’s instant funding program is separated from T3 Trading Group, LLC, a Registered SEC Broker-Dealer & Member of FINRA/SIPC. 

How to Qualify for a Payout

You’ll start in the Qualifying Stage, where your goal is to meet specific parameters before moving to the next phase.

To successfully complete the Qualifying Stage and become eligible to request a move into Step 2 (PreProp), you must:

Trade on at least 5 separate days (non-consecutive), reach your profit target and pass the consistency rule. The consistency target is set to 50% of your most profitable day. You then need to average the consistency target on 4 additional days. This will give you a total of 5 consistency days. This is the minimum required to pass consistency.

Stay within your loss limits— this means you must not break the daily loss or maximum loss.

Once you meet these requirements, you can request to advance to Step 2 (Pre-Prop).

Pre-Prop Stage: Keep Hitting the Milestones

In the Pre-Prop Stage, you’ll need to repeat the same process as in the Qualifying Stage to become eligible for a payout:

Trade on at least 5 separate days (non-consecutive), reach your profit target and pass the consistency rule. The consistency target is set to 50% of your most profitable day. You then need to average the consistency target on 4 additional days. This will give you a total of 5 consistency days. This is the minimum required to pass consistency.

Stay within your loss limits — this means you must not break the daily loss or maximum loss.

Once you meet these milestones in PreProp, you can request a payout of 50% of your profits.

Important: Once your payout has been processed, your consistency will be reset and you'll need to meet the parameters again.

Unlocking 100% Profit Payouts

To unlock permanent 100% profit payouts on your share of profits, you must complete 6 payout cycles.

Once unlocked, you’ll keep this benefit permanently and can request 100% payouts of your profits on a weekly basis

Your Path to the Live Pro Trade Desk

Our ultimate goal is to move traders to our Live Pro Trade Desk as soon as they demonstrate strong performance and risk management skills. Once there, all payout restrictions are removed, and you can request 100% of your profit share—without any limitations.

This journey is designed to set you up for long-term success while helping you grow into one of our next $1 million+/year superstar earners.

The Instant Funding Account is designed for Day-Traders.

Trading times: 8.30 AM EST - 2.55 PM Central time.

All open positions and orders will be auto-liquidated at 2.55 PM Central time.

You can trade Options on many NYSE and Nasdaq-listed stocks and ETFs, as well as index Options such as SPX, NDX, and VIX.

Not for the Incubator Funding program.

However, for algo-traders whose bots have a documented proven edge with a minimum of 1,000 trades, we have a dedicated algo-pro desk. Where we provide 10X-20X real-money buying power on the amount of custom capital contribution you want to provide (e.g., You contribute the minimum of $250,000 and we provide you with $5,000,000 in real-money buying power for algo trading). As well as access to our cutting edge professional algo technology, support and risk management. 

In addition to single-leg Options, spreads, butterflies, iron condors, straddles, and strangles are available. Covered calls are not permitted.

Naked selling is permitted. However, traders cannot exceed their account buying power when opening naked short options positions. Standard margin rules will apply.

Remember, we structure the Incubator program in a way that we can “try out” the biggest amount of traders, to find our superstars.

With that in mind, we are looking for traders and strategies that can be scaled and we don’t care for high risk/low reward strategies that are not scalable with large amounts of money.

To ensure that, we don't allow strategies and trades with a trade duration of less than 30 seconds. As such strategies are not scalable.

How do we enforce that?

It is simple. If a trader makes a sub 30 second trade, a winning trade will automatically be removed for your stats and a losing trade will count towards your account balance.

We all know trades like this can happen every once in a while, so don't worry about it.

If you are a trader whose sole strategy is based on sub 30 second trades, we are not a good fit for each other.

At our firm—and any professional prop trading organization—consistency is everything. The ability to trade within defined risk parameters is the foundation for scaling a trader to larger accounts and greater opportunities within our professional prop trading organization T3.

If you violate the Daily Maximum Loss Limit or the Maximum Drawdown, your Account will “fail”.

However, this doesn’t mean the end of your journey. In the Qualifying step you can reset for $99.

If you fail in the preprop step, you will be moved back to the qualifying step after a reset.

You can do this as many times as needed to build the consistency required for long-term success.

We believe in the potential of every trader to grow, learn, and become consistently profitable. Every attempt is another step toward mastering the discipline needed to unlock bigger accounts and thrive in the world of professional trading.

As soon as your account gets into the funded stage (preprop) and you can start earning real-money weekly payouts, there is a one-time fee of $149 that will be charged to enable your funded account.

The monthly subscription fee will remain active for the duration of the subscription, also when you have advanced to the funded step.

With your Instant Funding account you’ll get complementary access to the web-based DXtrade XT platform, including live market data for all required exchanges.

DXtrade XT is a professional-grade options trading platform designed by Devexperts to cater to brokers, trading firms, and sophisticated options traders. It supports multi-leg options strategies, complex order types, and robust risk management tools.

Any individual can open up to 5 Incubator accounts.

Why is the Incubator Funding Program Structured This Way?

How It Works:

- Every Incubator Funding account operates in a pre-prop environment, simulating live market conditions with real-time data.

- Profitable traders receive real-money payouts weekly (In Step-2).

- Based on performance, the most promising traders are invited to our live-money trading desk, where they gain access to greater buying power and professional-level resources.
