The Funded Trader (TFT): why we flag it

Excluded — 2024 payout-denial collapse; backlog still unresolved.

⚠ Caution — flagged in our vetting. We list The Funded Trader (TFT) so you can see the facts, but it isn't recommended and there's no partner link here.

Why it's on the watchlist

Excluded from the directory: The Funded Trader (Easton Consulting Technologies, CEO Angelo Ciaramello) paused all operations in March 2024 after a wave of payout-denial complaints, freezing roughly $2M in withdrawals during early 2024 while publicly dismissing the criticism. It has since relaunched, but as of 2026 was still clearing an outstanding backlog — reporting only partial completion of payouts and accounts owed, with hundreds of traders still waiting. A firm that froze legitimate profits once and hasn't fully closed the resulting debt isn't recommendable until the backlog is settled and a clean post-relaunch payout record exists. Note: this is distinct from My Forex Funds, the separate firm whose CFTC case was dismissed with sanctions.
