TradePath Funding is open.
You can buy an assessment today across seven product lines, on five trading platforms, with account sizes from $5,000 to $400,000. Everything below is live now – not roadmap, not coming soon.
We are going to use this first post to do something unusual for a launch announcement, which is to tell you what we think is wrong with this industry and what we have done about it. If you have traded a funded programme before you already know the list. If you have not, it is worth reading before you spend money with anyone.
THE THREE THINGS THAT GO WRONG
Rules that appear after you have paid. A trader buys on the strength of a target and a drawdown number, then discovers a consistency requirement, a buffer or a hold-time rule at the point they try to withdraw. Nothing about that is illegal. It is a business model built on the gap between what was advertised and what was in the terms.
Enforcement that changes with the weather. The same trading pattern is fine in a quiet month and a rule violation in an expensive one. When enforcement is discretionary, the firm’s cash position becomes an input into whether you passed.
Payouts treated as a negotiation. Delays, reviews, requests for justification, and the quiet hope that a proportion of traders give up. A payout is either owed or it is not.
WHAT WE DID ABOUT IT
We published the whole rule set before launch. Every target, drawdown, consistency requirement and time limit for all seven products, on one page, at Trading Objectives. If a rule is not on that page, it is not a rule we will enforce against you.
We published which breaches end an account and which do not. Hard breach means the daily loss limit, the maximum drawdown or inactivity – three things, defined numerically, that a system measures without anyone forming a view about you. Everything else closes the offending trades and leaves you trading.
We published the payout conditions as a closed list. Five conditions, on the Payouts page. Funded, compliant, buffer cleared, consistency met, KYC done. What is not on that list cannot be used to decline a payout. Payouts run Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm New York time, and can arrive in as little as 24 hours — allow 24 to 48 business hours.
We published what happens when it goes wrong. Payout Protector with a worked example. Lock Upon Payout with a worked example, including the part where it costs you. We would rather explain the downside of an add-on than sell it quietly.
None of this is generous. It is the minimum a trader should expect, and most of it is a decision to write things down before taking money rather than after.
WHAT IS LIVE
FX & CFDs – One Step or Two Step, $5,000 to $400,000, no time limit on either, on DXtrade, Match-Trader, cTrader or GooeyPro. A static drawdown, so your floor does not chase you up as you grow the account.
Crypto – the same CFD rules, and the only instrument class here that trades through the weekend.
Equities – around a hundred US large caps, single session, everything flat by 15:55 EST. No overnight gap risk, tighter drawdown to match.
Futures – two routes. A 30-day one-step assessment, or a four-phase plan paying a fixed cash payout at the end of every phase, before you ever reach a Live Funded account.
Instant Funding – funded from the start, no assessment phase. Standard and Lite.
Prediction Markets – Yes/No contracts on real-world events, priced through Polymarket, with a 0.5% cap on profit from any single event. One of very few firms in the world offering it.
WHAT WE HAVE NOT DONE
We do not have a certification yet. The Financial Commission published the first independent prop-firm code of conduct on 22 July 2026, covering payout transparency, consistency of rule enforcement and sustainable risk management. We intend to pursue it once the operating entity is formally incorporated, and we built our rulebooks and payout policies to that framework from the start rather than planning to retrofit them.
We are saying that here rather than implying a certification we do not hold. Anyone claiming one should be able to show you the certificate.
WHERE TO START
If you already know what you trade, go to Trading Objectives, find your product and read its row. If a rule there does not suit how you trade, do not buy it – that page exists to save you the money, not to sell you the plan.
