Our Final Verdict On Funded Trading Plus

Funded Trading Plus is worth a look for traders who prioritise day-one reward access and a mature programme suite, and it earns a 51 out of 100 overall - a score that reflects well-designed products inside a firm in active transition after its 26 May 2026 acquisition by Instant Funding. The Instant and 1-Step routes unlock rewards from day one, same-day payout processing is often achieved, the profit split reaches 100%, and four platforms are available, supported by guide fit scores of 87 to 90 on our instant and funded-accounts guides. Trustpilot does not currently display a TrustScore for the firm; the profile shows 2,659 reviews with a 90 percent five-star share, and recent Trustpilot reviewers report longer support response times since the post-acquisition systems migration.

Our Take on Funded Trading Plus

Funded Trading Plus (FTP) built its reputation on three well-structured funding programmes and a day-one reward philosophy that few UK-based firms match. Founded in 2021, the firm quickly won strong guide fit scores on our site - 90 for funded accounts, 87 for instant funding and the UK - because the products are designed to give traders fast access to capital. That design strength is why our category scores for challenges and trust sit at 90, far above the 51 overall. The wide gap is deliberate: we price whole-firm risk into the overall rating. On 26 May 2026 that risk picture changed materially when FTP was acquired by fellow UK prop firm Instant Funding in a seven-figure deal announced via PR Newswire, with both brands continuing independently under one group. The acquisition introduced a layer of integration uncertainty, and that is what pulls the overall score down even though the programme architecture remains excellent.

FTP offers three core programmes, each with clear rules. The Instant Funding plan skips evaluation entirely, carries a 6% daily loss and a 6% trailing max loss, and provides accounts from $5K to $100K with 1:30 leverage. Traders can take rewards from day one and then every seven days, but positions must be closed before the weekend; fees start at $249. The 1-Step Express programme, priced from $99 at $10K to $999 at $200K, also unlocks day-one reward access. The 2-Step Classic path requires two 7% profit targets and delays the first reward until after ten days, with accounts starting at $89 for $10K. Across all programmes, EAs and algos are permitted provided the trader takes responsibility for behaviour, while arbitrage, grid trading, tick scalping, copy trading and cross-account hedging are banned.

Payouts are a known bright spot. The firm states processing takes up to two business days and often achieves same-day delivery, using bank transfer and crypto methods, with a profit split that reaches 100%. Traders can work on MT5, DXTrade, Match-Trader and cTrader, and a 48,900+ member Discord adds community depth. The trust side, however, is more layered. Trustpilot does not currently display a TrustScore for the firm; the profile shows 2,659 reviews with a 90 percent five-star share; it previously displayed a 4.4 rating. The firm's own contact page continues to advertise 24/7 support with live chat, but recent Trustpilot reviewers report longer support response times since the post-acquisition systems migration. That mismatch means the trust picture leans heavily on the published rules and payout documentation.

This firm suits traders who want to bypass evaluations and collect rewards quickly - the Instant and 1-Step programmes are genuinely compelling, and the same-day payout history and 100% split are rare. It also fits those who prefer multiple platform choices and a UK-based provider with a large Discord community. The honest limitations are just as important: the ownership change is very recent and integration is ongoing; the Trustpilot situation leaves a gap in independent verification; attributed reports of slower support are a near-term friction; weekend holding is not allowed on Instant accounts; and our spread score sits at 60, the weakest category. Traders comfortable with a firm in transition will find a strong product set; everyone else may want to watch how the Instant Funding integration matures.

Best For

Experienced traders who want flexible simulated funding routes across Instant Funding, 1-Step Express and 2-Step Classic. Funded Trading Plus is best suited to traders who understand trailing versus static drawdown, want day-1 reward access on Instant or 1-Step accounts, and value education, scaling and programme-specific payout options.

Not Ideal For

Traders who want one simple rule set across all account types, need copy trading across accounts, dislike trailing drawdown, or want a 2-Step model without consistency and symbol-loss rules. It is also not ideal for traders who need every platform available in every region.

Verified against Funded Trading Plus's published terms and Trustpilot record on .

Consistency Rule

2-Step Classic: 35% consistency score in Step 1 and Step 2, 50% consistency score in the funded stage, plus a 3% Symbol Loss Limit hard breach. Instant Funding and 1-Step Express have no consistency rule.

Challenge Accounts

Under New Ownership Since May 2026

On 26 May 2026, UK prop firm Instant Funding acquired Funded Trading Plus for a seven-figure sum, as announced via PR Newswire. Both brands continue to operate independently under one group, sharing technology and infrastructure. The group reported that the acquisition lifted combined revenue by 70%. Implementation is ongoing, and recent Trustpilot reviewers note longer support response times since the systems migration that followed the deal.

Simulated Trading Environment

All FTP accounts operate in a simulated trading environment. Rewards are based on simulated profits. Traders do not manage real capital.

Funded Trading Plus currently offers three core simulated funding routes: Instant Funding, 1-Step Express and 2-Step Classic. Instant Funding skips the evaluation, 1-Step Express uses one evaluation phase, and 2-Step Classic uses two phases with static drawdown and consistency rules. All accounts are simulated, and rewards are based on simulated trading performance.

Instant Funding

No evaluation. 6% daily and 6% trailing max loss. Account sizes $5K–$100K. Rewards from day 1, then every 7 days. Positions must be closed by 4:30 PM EST Friday.

1-Step Express

One-step evaluation with a 10% simulated profit target, 4% daily loss and 6% trailing max loss. Account sizes $10K–$200K. Rewards from day 1 once funded, then every 7 days. Overnight and weekend holding allowed.

2-Step Classic

Two-step evaluation with 7% and 7% simulated profit targets, 4% daily loss and 8% static max loss. Account sizes $10K–$100K. 10-day reward cycle. 35% consistency in challenge steps, 50% in the funded stage, plus a 3% Symbol Loss Limit.

Instant Funding

Instant Funding skips the evaluation entirely. There is no profit target and no time limit, but the 6% daily and 6% trailing max loss rules are tight, so consistent risk management is essential.

Rewards are available from day 1, then every 7 days. Account leverage is 1:30. News trading is allowed subject to FTP's risk review policy. Weekend holding is not allowed - positions must be closed by 4:30 PM EST on Friday.

Add-ons available on Instant Funding: 90% reward split, 3-day reward frequency, and enhanced scaling to $5M.

2-Step Classic

2-Step Classic uses 7% simulated profit targets in Step 1 and Step 2. Drawdown is 4% daily and 8% static max loss. Unlimited time. Account leverage is 1:50.

News trading is allowed subject to FTP's risk review policy. Overnight and weekend holding are allowed. The first reward request is available after 10 days, subject to the account meeting its conditions, then every 10 days. The minimum withdrawal threshold is 1% of initial starting balance.

The base reward split is 80%, with an 85% split add-on available. A 9% max drawdown add-on and a 20% reset discount are also available.

Scaling

2-Step Classic scaling is different from Instant and 1-Step. The scaling target is 20% simulated profit on the FT+ Trader simulated-live account. A scale request requires at least one withdrawal, a 50% consistency score, no Symbol Loss Rule breach, at least 2 months of account activity before the first scaling request, and 20% new closed-balance profit at each level. Scaling can reach $2.5 million.

Trading Rules

FTP applies a generally flexible rule set, but some restrictions and requirements vary by programme. Review the rules for your specific model before trading.

News Trading

News trading is allowed across current programmes, subject to Funded Trading Plus risk review policy. The firm allows traders to decide when they trade, but high-risk behaviour around volatility can still trigger review.

Expert Advisors (EAs)

EAs, algos and bots are allowed, but the trader remains responsible for their setup and behaviour. Prohibited use includes arbitrage, grid trading, tick scalping, copy trading, hedging across accounts and abuse of the simulated-live environment. Funded Trading Plus does not provide support for third-party EAs, algos or bots.

Copy Trading - Prohibited

Copy trading is prohibited across accounts. This includes having the same position open on the same market in the same direction across more than one account at the same time. If accounts are flagged for copy trading, profits may be nullified.

Weekend & Overnight Holding

ProgrammeConsistency Rule
Instant FundingNone

2-Step Classic35% in challenge steps, 50% funded

2-Step Classic also has a 3% Symbol Loss Limit. This is a hard breach rule.

Inactivity Rule

All evaluations and FT+ Trader simulated-live accounts must stay active. Traders need to open and close at least one trade within every 30-day calendar period.

Scaling Plan

Scaling is available on FT+ Trader simulated-live accounts, but the requirements vary by programme. Instant Funding and 1-Step Express use a 10% simulated profit scaling milestone. 2-Step Classic uses a 20% simulated profit scaling milestone and has extra conditions around withdrawals, consistency, Symbol Loss Rule compliance and account activity.

ProgrammeStandard Scaling CapEnhanced Scaling CapMain Scaling Target
Instant Funding$2.5M$5M with add-on10% simulated profit
1-Step Express$2.5M$5M with add-on10% simulated profit
2-Step Classic$2.5M$2.5M20% simulated profit

Withdrawals can reduce the balance available for scaling, because withdrawn simulated profit does not count towards the balance required to scale.

Verdict on FTP Challenges

FTP offers three core programmes - Instant Funding, 1-Step Express and 2-Step Classic - with day-1 reward access on Instant and 1-Step, and a 10-day cycle on 2-Step. Scaling reaches $2.5 million as standard, or $5 million with the enhanced scaling add-on on eligible programmes. The 2-Step Classic now uses 7% and 7% targets with a consistency score and a 3% Symbol Loss Limit, so the rules differ meaningfully between products.

Commission Fees & Pricing

Funded Trading Plus says it does not mark up spreads, swaps or commissions above default platform/provider fees. Traders can check current spreads, fees, swaps, execution and lot sizes through the shared demo accounts and platform symbol specifications.

Screenshot of the Funded Trading Plus Trustpilot profile
Funded Trading Plus on Trustpilot, captured from the public profile on 17 September 2026.

On 17 September 2026, Trustpilot showed neither a TrustScore nor a star rating for Funded Trading Plus, and the profile carried Trustpilot's own notice that the rating is unavailable because of a breach of its guidelines, and the screenshot above shows that notice as it appeared. Trustpilot withholds a company's score when it finds the company has broken its rules for collecting or handling reviews, but it does not state on the profile which rule was broken, and we make no claim of our own about what happened. The 2,662 reviews already posted stay on Trustpilot and remain readable, with only the score hidden, and Trustpilot restores the score if it lifts the notice. A withheld score is not a score of zero and not a low rating, and it means Trustpilot is not vouching for the figure at the moment, and we recheck this profile every month.

Overall Score for Funded Trading Plus

Funded Trading Plus is worth a look for traders who prioritise day-one reward access and a mature programme suite, and it earns a 51 out of 100 overall - a score that reflects well-designed products inside a firm in active transition after its 26 May 2026 acquisition by Instant Funding. The Instant and 1-Step routes unlock rewards from day one, same-day payout processing is often achieved, the profit split reaches 100%, and four platforms are available, supported by guide fit scores of 87 to 90 on our instant and funded-accounts guides. Trustpilot does not currently display a TrustScore for the firm; the profile shows 2,659 reviews with a 90 percent five-star share, and recent Trustpilot reviewers report longer support response times since the post-acquisition systems migration.

The key strengths are programme choice, day-1 reward access on Instant and 1-Step accounts, scaling up to $2.5 million as standard, and up to $5 million with the enhanced scaling add-on on eligible programmes. The Education Hub is also stronger than the current review suggests, with a free masterclass and Andrew Lockwood-led training.

The main drawbacks are still programme-specific rules, trailing drawdown on Instant and 1-Step, copy trading restrictions, and the 2-Step consistency requirements. Traders should also check platform availability at checkout, as platform access can vary by region.

FTP does not provide setup or support for third-party EAs, algos or bots.
Since 26 May 2026, Funded Trading Plus has been owned by Instant Funding, a fellow UK prop firm, after a seven-figure acquisition announced via PR Newswire. Both brands continue to operate independently while sitting under the same group umbrella.
The firm's own contact page continues to advertise 24/7 support with live chat, email, phone and Discord. However, recent Trustpilot reviewers report longer response times since the post-acquisition systems migration, so treating response speed as in flux until the integration settles is the prudent reading.
