Today I'm launching something I should have built years ago. FT Prime. A-book execution. For traders who've already proven it. If you've traded prop long enough, you know the pattern. Pass the challenge. Get funded. Start pulling consistent numbers. Then the friction starts. Delays, reviews, rule interpretations that didn't exist when you signed up. Every firm in this space, major or minor, has a list a mile long of traders who got denied, stuck in review indefinitely, or banned outright the moment they became consistently profitable. Some with legitimate cause, many without. It's an industry-wide story, and enough traders have lived it that it barely needs explaining anymore. Most prop firms run a B-book. Plain English: your trades never touch real markets. They're simulated internally and act as signals the firm could copy to live accounts but most never do. They collect challenge fees and move on. The model works fine when traders lose. When traders win consistently, the economics get complicated. That tension is baked into the structure - it's not a bug. FT Prime runs a different model. We work with a regulated Liquidity Provider who takes your positions live which means real execution, real fills, real P&L. Not a demo. Not a mirror. Your orders flow to live markets exactly the way they would with any institutional broker. The LP executes them and returns your profit or loss directly. No internal book. No conflict of interest. And because your P&L flows through the LP, there are no payout denials. No risk management reviews standing between you and your money. What you made is yours. We take our share, you take yours, and there's no internal process that can change that. Every funded account has real capital behind it. That's why this costs more. We have skin in the game on every account we activate. That's the structure as it should be. We both put money on the line and split the profits, with the majority going to the trader whose skill made them possible. 95% of our revenue is profit-share. We only win when you win. Here's how it works: ▪ $500 evaluation on a $100K account - simulated at this stage only, to verify the skill is there ▪ 10% target, 3% daily drawdown, 10% max loss ▪ Pass and pay the $4K activation - this is the moment everything goes live Real capital, real execution, real markets. This isn't our profit. It's the cost of putting your trades in front of a regulated LP. ▪ 70% split default, scaling to 85% ▪ Weekly payouts This is for the trader pulling consistent five-figure months who's started noticing the friction. FT Prime is built for that stage - where your consistency is an asset, not a problem. ftprime.com
