There was nothing in OFP's terms and conditions that put me off, so I tried to register with the outfit. However, when I attempted to verify my email address, this is what I got... So, what's up with this? Verifying my email address should have been a routine process. I consider that fact that their system messed this up to be a bad omen, and consequently, I will NOT involve myself with these guys after all. (No big deal anyway, because things are going well enough over at NADEX.)
Tradingreview.net has THEIR opinion, which I intend to review myself, as soon as I have the spare time... Top Fully Funded Trading Account Opportunities in 2023: 1. Earn 2 Trade These guys will provide you with a 25K account for $150 a month (for a Gauntless Mini account). In fact, you can get up to 150K if you go for the $350 a month option.

Once you get this, trade strictly according to the mentorship provided to you and aim for $1750 and above within the first month. That way, you'll easily be able to upgrade your account to the $350 per month option without necessarily having to dig deeper into your pockets. One more thing, if you achieve this feat, you'll be given access proprietary trading partner account. At this point, you’ll enjoy access to: Beginner crash course which would otherwise cost $249 Access to trading simulator Journalytix access In general, we'd choose Earn 2 Trade over any other program out there thanks to its key features some of which include: Friendly User-Interface The program's dashboard is quite straightforward and easy to use. You can access all the important sections with just one click. If lost, you simply need to tap on the help button and someone will be there to assist you. Charts - You also get all the necessary charting tools you need. For instance, you get the freedom to choose between different chart types. You also get to choose between different indicators. And lately, they've updated their charts such that you can get quick highlights about important dates e.g. US Election, Brexit, etc. We believe this is a really important feature as it keeps you aware of news events and the likely market reaction. Journalytix Tool - We really love this feature as it makes it easy to keep track of performance and also monitor the strategy that works best for you. And on top of that, you can easily export this data to an MS Excel file for further analysis. Pros: Affordable tiers to choose from Good variety of tools Awesome customer support Cons: No free trial 2. TopStep Trader Also known as TST, this program has been around since 2012. In fact, the company behind it was in 2017 ranked among America’s top 5,000 fastest growing companies by INC500. They ranked #1419. The concept behind TST is pretty simple. Qualifying traders take advantage of the available capital to trade futures. Plus, they get to keep $5,000 in profits from the first month. They also get to keep 80% of the profits earned for the months that follow. Being one of the best programs out there, you'd expect them to charge a premium for their services. Interestingly, they don't do that. In fact, their cheapest tier goes for $150 per month which is well within the industry's average. If you sign up for an account with them today, they'll provide you with a 14-day free trial complete with $150,000 capital (you won't need to submit your credit card details for this). The 14-day free trial period is a great opportunity for you to test drive the system without having to commit your hard-earned cash. Some of the key features that serve as top highlights of this program to us include: Ease of Use - The program is quite easy to use. In fact, you only need to complete 2 steps to become a fully-fledged trader. What's more? They don't pressure you at all. They give you all the time you need to reach your goals. On top of that, once you become a fully-fledged trader, you can always re-write the rules of your account. You'll, however, need to part with $99 for that. Friendly Pricing - In addition to the free-trial package that we've already talked about, this company provides you with 4 subscription options. You can opt for the cheapest one available at $150. What's more? You can always get a discount for that if you look around. Their priciest tier costs $300 per month and provides you with access to $150K capital with a weekly loss limit for $3,000. Free Education - Learning is a key part of succeeding as a trader. That said, the awesome guys at TST provide free education and performance coaching. This comprises daily live trading classes along with the advantage of watching the pros trade live. And in case you're looking for one-on-one mentorship, there's always a coach on stand-by, in real-time to ensure that you make the most of every opportunity. Pros: Great customer support 14-day free trial Free, real-time coaching Cons: Traded products are high-risk ones 3. OneUp Trader With a decade of experience, OneUp Trader stands out as one of the most reliable platforms to get a funded account. Indeed, one of the unique things about this program is that they promote independence by encouraging the use of different schools of thought in decision-making. Another unique aspect of this platform is that the guys behind it place a lot of trust in their traders. Unlike other programs that require you to meet some unrealistic trading goals, this one provides a softer learning curve. When you join OneUp, you'll feel as if you've become part of a big family. And that, in our view, is quite important when you need to build your confidence. What's more, you get the freedom to choose how to share your profit. For instance, you can choose between a 50-50 profit-sharing method and an 80-20 one. And the best part is that their tiers are quite cheap especially if you opt for the 50-50 arrangement. You'd get a 25K account at $95 per month if you select the 50% profit split arrangement. Conversely, if you opt for the 80% option, you'd need to part with $125 per month for a 25K account. Other awesome features that make OneUp worth being a part of include: Choose Your Own Software - As we've already mentioned, this is one of the few platforms out there that encourage their traders to be as independent as possible. You won't have to be limited to OneUp's patented software! You'll get the freedom to choose a software program that works best for you. That said, the platform strongly recommends NinjaTrader as its go-to platform. But even then, you still can choose from more than 19 other alternatives provided. Social Dashboard - Yet another major highlight of this system is that it provides you with a platform on which to share and collaborate. This comes in the form of a social dashboard that enables you to easily post your experiences and progress in the community. This way, you can receive feedback or even accolades from other like-minded traders. Extra Bonuses - If you follow all the rules and succeed, the awesome guys will provide you with extra goodies. For instance, you'll get a quick start bonus by keeping 100% of the first $5,000 you make on the platforms (for the 50-50 arrangement). You'll also get to keep 100% of your first 8K earnings when you opt for the 80% profit-sharing arrangement. Pros: Great user-experience Friendly priced tiers Lots of bonuses 14-day free trial Cons: No stats on the number of funded traders so far Too much freedom might leave one susceptible to rookie mistakes

Okay then, how do you make money from the trading activity of traders who sign up with you? In searching for the answer to the above question, I found this language on a separate page of their website under a different topic... "You must trade a minimum of 5 trading days to be eligible for placement with our funding partners." So then, exactly who are these "funding partners?" Another page includes the following... "With funding partners who provide market data access from major exchanges, including CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX, funded traders at OneUp Trader have access to comprehensive and reliable market data through Rithmic. Rithmic is a high-speed data provider, and it’s difficult to find a more reliable and more accurate data source out there in the market today." Here is the answer to my question (sort of)... "Once you complete the Evaluation, OneUp Trader sets you up with one of our funding partners, who will fund you in less than three business days. You need to trade for a minimum of 15 days, so in other words, you can be fully funded within 20 days from when you first sign up." This is the page on which I found it... https://blog.oneuptrader.com/funded-trading/why-chose-oneup-traders-funded-trading-account/#:~:text=OneUp Trader offers comprehensive market,reliable market data through Rithmic. OneUp Trader already has my email in their system. This means I already looked into them and rejected them for some reason, though I don't recall when this happened. I tried to log in but couldn't. I therefore attempted to change my password, but the process required using a mobile phone, and I don't use mobile phones. So, perhaps THAT'S what was the problem.
