About Funded Trading Plus
Funded Trading Plus is an extension of Trade Room Plus. Trade Room Plus started in 2013 and was the UK’s premier live trade room for retail traders. A common problem retail traders face is that they only have access to a limited amount of money to trade with. They might understand good money management rules but in practice a small sum can only generate a small sum. They might be great traders but they will never have the funds to prove themselves and this is unfair. Our goal became to remove this inequality.
Wall Street and London City Trading Experts
With this in mind we started to have discussions with leading Wall Street and city of London trading experts: prop traders, brokers, liquidity providers and trading data specialists and from this we formed Funded Trading Plus.
The Proprietary Funded Trading Model
The funded trading model has not been around long but there are some competitors in the market. We’ve done our due diligence and we’ve tried to ascertain how each different company operates. We urge you to please do your own due diligence, these companies vary enormously and it’s difficult to directly compare. We’re not sure some of these models actually want you to succeed.
At Funded Trading Plus our business model is built from the ground up to be better than our competitors. We have easy to understand Funded Trader Programs and when we identify a successful trader we’ll fund them properly. We want and need our traders to succeed and consequently we’ll do everything we can to help our funded traders.
Available to Traders Worldwide
Funded Trading Plus is available to traders worldwide, trading talent has no boundaries and no age barrier : you could be a retired ex-Chicago trading pit monster, a Millennial in Boise Idaho or a surf lover in Hawaii, a farmer in Yorkshire, a factory worker in Minsk, or a city dweller in New Delhi, London, Paris, Sydney, Frankfurt or Bangkok.
Learn About Our Founders
Simon M.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Simon began his trading journey in 2010 after discovering CFDs through the Financial Times Guide to Investment. Together with Michael, he co-founded Funded Trading Plus, which went on to become one of the longest-running live trading education rooms, operating successfully for over 12 years.
As the online proprietary trading industry began to evolve, Simon was frequently approached by fellow traders – many of whom he’d known for years – for advice on passing funded trading evaluations. While taking these and successfully passing these tests himself, he recognized that many of the standard rules, such as time limits and delayed profit withdrawals, were unnecessary and offered no real benefit to traders. This realisation led him to create a prop firm built on fairness, transparency, and trader-friendly policies.
By removing restrictive rules and focusing on what truly supports a trader’s success, he helped redefine the industry standard for what a modern prop firm should be.
Today, while Simon still trades, his primary focus is on managing longer-term investments and continuing to shape the future of proprietary trading.
James F
Chief Operating Officer (COO)
As a data-driven technical solutions architect, there were plenty of well-paid potential jobs but there was no way I was going back to work for someone else. Instead, I started to use my skills to create a new income for myself. My first technical move into trading was when I built a system to take trading signals and automatically place them on a demo account. The system worked, I can’t say the same about the signals.
My trading journey broadened out, I learnt a great deal about crypto and I also took a course with Trade Room Plus and consequently met Simon and Michael. Our skills were complimentary and the idea of Funded Trading Plus was born. Between the three of us we’ve been able to create new funded trading solutions for under funded talented traders. I’ve been able to fully use my technical skills to build solid programs with the most reliable infrastructure in the business. Traders who work with us can be assured that all our systems work and most importantly, they will get paid.
Michael C
Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
In 2008 the whirlwind of the financial crisis tore through my life. It ripped me up from my more-than-livable income and financial security that I had been building up for 10+ years.
My life savings and financial portfolio were decimated and my house, though not wrecked, might as well have been, for it was now worth less than half of the mortgage that I still owed. Financially I felt like a new born again, life looked grim and I needed to find a solution, one where I’d take personal responsibility of my money, and not leave it to the so-called “experts” who, when I trusted them most, lost it all.
It took more work trying all sorts of strategies, techniques and failing than I’d like to admit, but after staying consistent and finally finding something that works, the result ended up being far beyond anything that I could ever imagine! I now want to give back to the same community that changed my life by accelerating traders with the same drive and determination that I had had. Funded Trading Plus is my way of giving others a real chance to take back control of their financial future.
