This episode offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the personalities driving the company forward, along with valuable insights into their strategic approach.
Who’s the Most Strategic Thinker?
The episode kicks off with a playful question: Who’s the most strategic thinker in the group? Jamie Millar, the Chief Strategy Officer, confidently stakes his claim. As the man responsible for guiding the strategic vision of Funded Trading Plus, Jamie acknowledges that strategy is at the core of his role, and Simon and Michael humorously concede that he’s earned his title.
But beyond the banter, Jamie’s experience in strategy sets the foundation for the company’s growth. His role is pivotal in ensuring the firm’s vision is aligned with the rapidly evolving trading industry, where strategic decisions can make or break a business.
AI and the Future of Prop Trading
One of the most interesting topics discussed in this episode is the role of AI in trading and business operations. While the group jokes about creating an “AI Simon” to take over the CEO’s role, the conversation takes a more serious tone when addressing the current and future applications of AI within Funded Trading Plus.
Jamie and Simon explain that while AI tools are being integrated into their backend systems, the firm remains cautious about fully automating any customer-facing roles, such as live chat or support. The human element, they argue, is essential for understanding and addressing the unique needs of each trader. This approach highlights the company’s balanced use of AI—embracing the technology for efficiency while maintaining personal, human-driven customer service.
Managing Risks in a Growing Industry
The leaders of Funded Trading Plus emphasize the importance of risk management, especially as the business scales. Simon reflects on the early days of the company, noting the significant risks they took in starting the business and how those risks have been carefully balanced as the company has grown.
They touch upon a fundamental principle: ensuring traders get paid promptly and fairly. This remains a top priority for the company. With the increasing number of traders and evaluations, the team constantly manages operational and strategic risks to maintain the firm’s stability and its strong commitment to clients. This is crucial in an industry where trust and reliability are paramount.

Simon and Jamie explain how they have managed to scale the business without sacrificing the client experience. By keeping a close eye on both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction, Funded Trading Plus continues to grow, yet remains focused on the needs of its traders. Their success stems from their ability to innovate and adapt while staying true to the core values that have made them a trusted player in the prop trading space.
