Abstract:The Funded Trader halts operations amid payout issues, raising concerns among its user base. The firm promises updates and plans for a relaunch.
In an unexpected turn of events, The Funded Trader, a prominent proprietary trading firm, has halted its operations and ceased payouts to its clients, raising concerns and uncertainty within its user base. The firm's determination results from a sequence of grievances and obstacles, with concerns regarding payments and operational honesty emphasized.
The company's website now displays a message announcing the temporary pause of all operations. “The Funded Trader has temporarily paused all operations,” the statement reads, urging patience and understanding from its clients as the firm navigates its current predicaments. The message includes a countdown timer setting a provisional deadline of roughly 21 days and promising more specific information in the upcoming week as the company outlines its plan to resume operations.
Angelo Ciaramello, CEO of The Funded Trader, took a more personal approach to address the situation on X (formerly known as Twitter), acknowledging the community's role in the firm's journey and expressing his heavy-heartedness over the decision to pause operations. Ciaramello hinted at a relaunch with a “slightly different look and feel,” aiming to address the community's main pain points and restore trust. He assured me that notwithstanding the operational hiatus, the principal emphasis continues to be on providing services to current consumers.
The backdrop to this decision includes the suspension of The Funded Trader from the popular prop firm comparison service, Propfirmmatch.com, in mid-March. The suspension was due to numerous complaints and reported instances of payout denials, with customers airing their grievances on Trustpilot, social media platforms, and directly to Propfirmmatch. Following these reports, The Funded Trader announced a “self-imposed internal audit” of all payouts, promising adherence to its terms of service and a thorough investigation into any potential violations of gambling policies.

Due to a recent advisory from the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) of Belgium to support trading companies, the organization is currently in a progressively precarious situation.

This offering might be one of the potential disadvantages associated with the platforms.
The situation at The Funded Trader emphasizes the precarious nature of the proprietary trading sector, which is subject to regulatory scrutiny and operational vulnerabilities.
