Overview

Getting started with The Funding Futures is quick and straightforward.
Once you choose your preferred account type and complete your purchase, you’ll receive immediate access to begin trading.

Follow the step-by-step guide below to set up your account and start trading on your funded journey.


Step 1: Choose Your Account

Visit our official website:
👉 thefundingfutures.com

Browse through the available account types — Advanced, Growth, and Lightning Funded — and select the one that best fits your trading style and budget.

For example, if you start with a Growth $150K Account, simply proceed to checkout and complete your purchase.


Step 2: Access Your Trading Dashboard

Once your order is completed, you’ll be automatically redirected to a confirmation page.

From there, click on “Go to Dashboard” — this will take you directly to your TFF Dashboard, where you can find your Tradovate login credentials and account details.

You’ll also receive a confirmation email containing the same information for your records.


Step 3: Launch Your Trading Platform

  1. Open your TFF Dashboard.

  2. Locate your login credentials for the Tradovate platform.

  3. Click “Start Trading” to launch the platform.

  4. Log in using your provided username and password.

Then, select “Launch Simulation Environment” to begin trading.
These are simulated funded accounts, allowing you to trade under real market conditions with firm-provided simulated capital.


Step 4: Sign the Non-Professional Data Agreement

If this is your first purchase, you’ll be prompted to sign the Non-Professional Data Agreement.
This step is mandatory — without it, your account will not have real-time market data.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete and sign the agreement. Once done, your live data access will be activated automatically.


You’re Ready to Trade!

After completing the steps above, your account is fully set up.
You can now begin trading within your account’s rules and parameters.

Track your performance directly in your TFF Dashboard, and remember: consistent, disciplined trading is the key to progressing toward payouts and live funding.
