Funding Traders Relaunches 1-Step Challenge with Key Enhancements

Funding Traders has announced the relaunch of its popular 1-step challenge program, now featuring significant enhancements designed to optimize the trader experience. Among the highlighted features, the program now allows for a 10% maximum loss. Additionally, participants will have the flexibility to engage in news trading, a highly requested functionality from the trading community. A refund bonus applicable on the second payout has been introduced, adding further value for successful traders. To commemorate this relaunch, Funding Traders is offering a 30% discount on the 1-step challenge purchase. Interested traders can apply the code "1STEP" with no usage limitations.

Funding Traders: Account Updates and Upcoming Competition

Funding Traders has announced several key updates for its community of traders. Firstly, the firm has discontinued its "University Accounts." This decision follows an internal review indicating that these accounts did not achieve their intended purpose, showing a significantly higher failure rate in Phase 1 due to prevalent speculative trading strategies. Secondly, a new trading competition, the "February Competition," is set to launch next Monday. This initiative comes in response to strong community demand and aims to provide another engaging challenge for traders. Lastly, Funding Traders is teasing the comeback of a popular account type. While full details are yet to be revealed, hints suggest it could be an "Instant" or "2-step" account. The community is encouraged to participate in discussions for more clues.

Traders will qualify for this increase after completing two profitable calendar months and achieving a minimum of 8% total profit in their funded account. Additionally, a further 50% scaling increase is introduced for those who keep their funded account active for a period of three months. This initiative aims to offer clear targets and substantial growth for disciplined traders.

Funding Traders Rolls Out New Transparent and Permanent Pricing Model

Funding Traders has announced a significant shift in its pricing strategy, moving away from temporary promotions and artificial discounts. The prop trading firm aims to establish a transparent and consistent pricing model, available to traders every day. Effective immediately, the company will offer its best prices permanently, putting an end to 'flash sale' tactics and Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO). This initiative ensures traders no longer have to wait for promotions to access fair rates. 1The new pricing model is supported by key guarantees, including a payout guarantee, instant support (response in under one minute), simplified trading rules (just three main rules), and faster scaling for funded accounts as a reward for sustained performance. The new challenge prices are as follows: 2-Step PRO10: 10k Account: $99 25k Account: $199 50k Account: $299 100k Account: $539 200k Account: $999 2-Step PRO6: 10k Account: $59 25k Account: $119 50k Account: $229 100k Account: $419 200k Account: $799 This move underscores Funding Traders' goal to remove barriers, such as deceptive pricing strategies, allowing traders to focus on their performance.
