Overview
Funded Trader Markets (FTM) is a CFD prop firm contracting from Dubai. You can trade forex, indices, commodities and crypto on cTrader, TradeLocker, Match-Trader or MT5. It suits traders who want to trade news freely and take rewards whenever they're eligible.
How the evaluation works
1 Step Nitro: a 10% target with a 4% daily loss (3% on the $300K) and a 6% overall loss that trails your highest balance until you're 6% up, then locks at your starting balance.
2 Step Plus: 8% then 5%, with at least three trading days per phase. The daily loss is 4% and the overall loss is 10% static.
Instant Standard, Pro and Plus: no evaluation. Standard has a 3% daily and 5% trailing overall limit.
None of the programs has a time limit.
Rules worth knowing
The daily limit resets at 5pm EST.
On the 2-Step Plus funded account, floating losses can't pass 1% of the balance. Each breach closes your trades and cuts the split, down to 20% after four.
Nitro needs no single day above 50% of the target in the evaluation and 45% of profit once funded. Instant accounts use 15%.
Funded accounts need five trading days of at least 0.5% profit before a reward.
Hedging inside one account is fine, but not across accounts. Copiers are allowed only for your own trades.
Getting paid
Rewards are on demand once you meet the trading-day, consistency and 1% minimum rules. Nitro pays 90% on the first $10,000, then 80%. 2-Step Plus pays 70%. Instant Standard starts at 50% and rises to 80% by the fourth reward. Payouts go by USDT or through Rise, and crypto rewards carry a 5% fee.

What traders say
Scores from the sites traders use, and our summary of what they're saying, checked 6 October 2026.
Funded Trader Markets is a young firm, launched in August 2024, and its review footprint is still modest. The last score we could read on Trustpilot itself was 4.2 from about 300 reviews, in late 2025. A review site quoting Trustpilot in September 2026 put it at 3.9 from 463 reviews, with ratings split sharply between five stars and one star. Most of the praise is about payout speed. Most of the criticism is about rule enforcement once traders reach a payout.
What traders like
Very fast payouts. The standout theme. Many reviewers on Trustpilot, Myfxbook and Prop Firm Match say rewards landed within minutes or a few hours of asking.
Responsive support. Several reviewers say support answered quickly and personally rather than with templates.
Flexible rules. News trading, instant funding and on-demand payouts come up often as reasons traders picked the firm.
Prices. Some mention reasonable fees and frequent discounts.
Common complaints
Disputed breaches. Some low Trustpilot reviews dispute drawdown breaches, and the firm's compliance team replies that the breach matched its published rules.
Payouts refused after interviews. A few reviewers say payouts were refused after a risk interview, or over accounts the firm linked to another trader.
Platform trouble. A few complain about chart or platform glitches; the firm says one such case was an MT5 issue on Android affecting all brokers.
Spreads. One Reddit thread says spreads are not the tightest.
A rising share of low ratings. One review site noted a wave of one-star Trustpilot reviews in 2026 about payouts, rule enforcement and communication.
Recently
Little dated in the last 90 days. A user review in August 2026 on TheGodFunded was positive, and a September 2026 review site write-up repeated the fast payout reports.
