Honest Review From a LIVE Funded Trader
I have been trading with ETF on and off for two years. I have received over $20,000 in payouts from them and recently got moved over to their Live Funded account. Some of the negative reviews on here are valid, and I’m here to let you know that ETF is not perfect, but they are 1000% LEGIT. They are still a young company and are constantly evolving, but from my experience, they are more than willing to answer ANY questions you have and support you as a trader. I have had incredibly a positive experience working with customer support throughout my entire journey as an ETF trader. Now that I have become a Live Funded trader, I feel it is appropriate to leave an honest review through this new lens. ETF places strict rules on their Elite Sim Funded accounts because they are observing you as a trader to see if you are WORTH THEIR investment. Because remember, they are not going to hand out money to traders who are not serious about trading! A lot of people don’t like their rules, but said rules are in place to make you a better trader and to assess if you are worth risking their capital. We should all desire a prop firm that holds traders accountable and invests only in serious traders! I have grown so much over the two years and am beyond impressed with their Live Funded account. Once you transition to Live, there are no strict rules. You essentially only have contract limit sizes, a daily loss limit, and a max loss limit. That is all. You are free to trade however you please. They also allow you to withdraw daily in the amount of $250 or more of the profits you have made. I admit that I too have been frustrated in the past, but hindsight has allowed me to see why such strict rules are in place and that is because they are protecting themselves and their company. I am so happy that I continued to pursue my trading journey with ETF because I have so much freedom now as a live trader. It was worth every single failed evaluation or failed funded account even to get to where I am now. I have a direct line of communication with the ETF Risk Management Team who work with me almost daily to establish parameters that meet my custom trading style and goals (I.e. customizing my desired daily loss limit, etc.) and feel incredibly supported by this team. If you are serious about pursuing day trading as a career, have some patience with ETF because it does pay off. Trading in general is a marathon, not a sprint. I am incredibly happy I stuck it out with ETF!!
