Trading Platform & Execution
Which trading platform do you use?
FundedFun uses Match Trader, a professional trading platform designed for high-speed execution and real-market conditions.
Why Match Trader?
Fast execution & low latency – Ensures reliable trade execution.
Advanced charting tools – Includes indicators, drawing tools, and customizable layouts.
Multi-device access – Trade from your desktop, mobile, or tablet.
Match Trader provides an experience similar to real institutional trading environments, so traders can focus on execution, not platform limitations.
Can I use Expert Advisors (EAs) or automated trading?
Currently, automated trading and EAs are not allowed.
Why?
- The challenge is designed to test real trader skills, not automated systems.
- Some EAs exploit inefficiencies in demo trading that don’t exist in live markets.
- The goal is to evaluate human decision-making and risk management.
If you rely on EAs, you may need to adjust to a manual trading approach to qualify for funding.
Are there any trading restrictions? (News trading, scalping, swing trading, etc.)
Most trading styles are allowed, but certain trading practices that exploit system limitations are strictly prohibited.
✅ Allowed Trading Styles:
Day Trading – Holding positions within the same trading day.
Swing Trading – Holding trades for multiple days to capture bigger moves.
Position Trading – Long-term trading based on market trends.
🚫 Prohibited Trading Practices:
Hedging – Holding opposing positions in the same instrument to bypass risk rules.
Martingale & Grid Strategies – Increasing trade sizes after losses to recover quickly.
Latency Arbitrage – Exploiting price delays between brokers.
Account Manipulation – Coordinating trades between accounts to artificially boost performance.
The rules are in place to ensure fair trading conditions and prevent abuse. If you trade with a legitimate strategy, you won’t have any issues.
Are spreads, commissions, and execution conditions the same as live trading?
Yes, FundedFun provides realistic trading conditions that closely mirror live market execution.
How Trading Conditions Compare to Live Markets:
Spreads – Match Trader provides competitive spreads, but small variations may occur.
Slippage & Execution Speed – Orders are processed in real-time, but slippage may differ from a true live environment.
The goal is to ensure traders experience realistic trading conditions so their performance reflects real-market execution.
Can I hold trades overnight and over the weekend?
Yes, you can hold trades overnight and over the weekend. FundedFun allows traders to manage their positions without forced closures, giving you full control over your trading strategy.
What You Need to Consider:
Swap Fees: Holding trades overnight may incur small swap fees, just like in live trading.
Weekend Price Gaps: Markets can open at a different price after the weekend, which can impact your trade.
Risk Management: If you hold trades long-term, make sure your stop-loss and take-profit levels are properly set.
Swing traders and position traders can hold trades without restrictions, but it’s important to manage risks when carrying positions overnight.

FundedFun offers a wide range of tradable assets, allowing traders to choose the markets that best fit their strategies.
Available Markets:
Forex: Major, minor, and exotic currency pairs.
Indices: Global stock indices.
Commodities: Gold, silver, oil, and other key assets.
