Welcome to The Funding Futures! πŸš€

Welcome to The Funding Futures (TFF) β€” where we turn talented traders into funded professionals. Whether you're new to funded trading or experienced with other firms, this guide will help you understand our platform and start your journey toward consistent profitability.


What is The Funding Futures?

The Funding Futures is a proprietary trading firm that provides capital to skilled traders.
We offer multiple funding pathways β€” traders can either prove their skills through our Evaluation Accounts and advance to a funded stage, or skip the process entirely with our Lightning Funded accounts.

During both the evaluation and simulated funded stages, you can earn real payouts while trading with simulated capital before progressing to live funded accounts.
