FundingTraders has officially launched its largest historical upgrade, ushering in a "New Era" for the platform. This comprehensive overhaul includes a full company rebrand, a new dashboard, and a more streamlined trading experience. The updated dashboard features simpler navigation, improved rule display, and enhanced overall usability. Additionally, the "Novice Accounts" model has been introduced for beginners, offering a free Phase 1 with Phase 2 unlocked upon successful completion. To simplify its offerings, FundingTraders has removed all 5K accounts, NextGen Accounts (current NextGen users will retain theirs), and all 1-Step accounts. The remaining account types are Pro10, Pro6, Instant, and Novice. A significant change allows trading during medium-impact news events, with restrictions now applying only to high-impact news. Users with $50,000+ accounts will gain access to the "FT AI Trading Coach (Stan)," integrated into Metrix for advanced insights and guidance. The firm has also implemented direct WhatsApp support and is committed to raising standards for faster support, smoother processes, and an improved payout experience.
