Funded accounts: you vote, we test.
Funded accounts have popped up over the last years, offering funding for retail traders. On the surface, they offer capital and the retail trader offers their intellectual capital. If the trader is profitable, they get to keep a large proportion of the profits. In a future post, I will analyse this in a bit more detail as things are not quite the way they seem.
To be honest, as a professional trader, it’s never been necessary to look into these offerings before. But since I get a lot of questions and feedback from my community on this topic, my curiosity has been piqued. However, I felt that I was not in a position to provide insights and opinions, given I had never investigated how they work.
But all that will now change. I want to properly dig into the topic. I will immerse myself in the world of funded accounts. Everyone in my community can vote for their favourite program and that is the one I will sign up for, test, hopefully qualify for and report back with my findings.
My only demand is that they should let me trade ES mini’s and micro’s. And of course, my platform of choice is Ninjatrader. I found 5 programs that qualify.
Let me know your vote and wish me luck.
