SurgeTrader is different from FTMO, offering a uniquely simple one-step funding model, where traders take an Audition with simple rules. Unlike FTMO, SurgeTrader has never had time restrictions on any of our auditions. We want traders to pass. Other firms like FTMO make money when their traders fail the challenge, so they offer complicated multi-step funding models — or a program with complex rules which include a minimum number of trading days.
Some of the most well-known prop firms, like FTMO, do not put their funds at risk. With others, once you pass their challenge, you are still on a demo account with fake money. This allows them to act as a quasi-broker and never put any real money at risk. They look to profit from the failure of traders. Not SurgeTrader. We stand by our traders with our own money.
When we developed SurgeTrader, we asked ourselves, “How can we stand out?” The answer is incredible customer service that goes above and beyond our competitors. We’ve committed significant resources so that traders can speak to a live person and ask questions or get support by phone, chat or email, during regular business hours. We challenge you to find another firm that makes it easy to talk to someone and get the answers you need.
Other prop firms like FTMO have complex rules designed to profit off failed traders. SurgeTrader features a one-step Audition with just a couple of clear, easy-to-understand trading rules.
You can pass our Audition at your own pace — whether that’s in 3 hours or 3 months, and you decide how many days that you want to trade, with no minimums. Some firms, like FTMO, mandate that you have to trade for at least 4 days, which may cause you to overtrade. Others have similarly restrictive trading time frames on some levels of their challenges, or may require you to pay to remove the time limits. With SurgeTrader, it’s simple. Take all the time that your strategy needs and make as many (or as few) trades as you need to be profitable.
Proprietary (prop) trading firms fill a critical role, providing traders capital to grow. But they won’t hand over their money to just anyone. Each company requires something different. So, how do you choose the right partner? Which questions should you ask?
We compiled a list of the top 15 questions you need to know before signing up with ANY prop firm.
