Here's Why Traders Are Switching
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these real brokerage accounts?
During the assessment and during the small time period in the sim-brokerage, all trading is simulated but is based on live market conditions.
After that, yes, all traders move to one of our fully regulated live brokerage accounts where all capital is real.
Is The Futures Desk a broker?
No, we are not a broker. But we use ONLY regulated FCMs who pass stringent compliance by the NFA and CFTC (Dorman/Plus500).
Do my payouts come from simulated trading?
No! We do not allow payouts from simulated funds. This keeps us on your side and allows to not have any strange payout rules once funded.
All capital earned is backed by real capital, so there is never a worry about how much you can make.
How many days until I can get uncapped payouts?
The bare minimum to get into a brokerage account and start getting uncapped daily payouts is six days.
Can I really request a payout daily?
Yes, we can usually process payouts the same day if requested prior to 11AM, Monday-Friday.
All payouts are made using Riseworks.
I see a lot of "Direct to Funded" competitors, is that what this is?
No, we are not direct-to-funded and neither are they.
The "direct to funded" model is misleading. They usually have heavily capped payouts for at least 1 to 2 months and consistency rules for each payout. You are essentially required to do an evaluation for months at a higher price.
Once you are funded with us, we have no payout caps, no consistency, no minimum days — what a modern proprietary trading company should have.
How many accounts can I get at the same time?
You can have a max of 2 accounts per trader.
Am I risking my own capital when I'm funded?
No, you are trading our capital, not yours. You will be given power-of-attorney permission to trade our sub-accounts and we pay you as a contractor based on your performance.
Why is there so much buzz around The Futures Desk?
We are not new to running prop firms and our reputation to innovate for traders in a space with so many scams and misleading marketing are wasting a lot of traders time and money.
That's not fair. We have always refused to be a part of that.
Trading is hard and those trying to get involved should expect the quality of service and tools from their prop firm to have a chance to succeed.
That's who we were, are, and always will be.
