About TradeFundrr

We're not here to just give you funding. We're here to earn your trust.

You're not getting a fly-by-night prop firm. You're getting a clear pathway, from simulated funded trading to professional institutional desks. Founded by Christian Bose and built on the T3 group of companies: T3 Trading Group, a regulated SEC broker-dealer and FINRA / SIPC member, and T3 Global, the institutional trading infrastructure where funded accounts run. Real infrastructure behind the offer, not a marketing page.

The face + the infrastructure

One face. Real infrastructure behind it.

Christian Bose built TradeFundrr. He’s run algorithmic hedge funds, led one of America’s largest financial publishing companies, and spent two decades inside institutional trading desks and technology firms. He structured the partnerships. Hired the team. Built this from the ground up. The infrastructure backing TradeFundrr is listed below, because you deserve to know who’s actually running this thing.

Christian Bose

Two decades inside trading desks, institutional firms, and trading technology. Christian structured the T3 partnership. Hired the operators. Built the offer from scratch. This wasn’t handed to him. Wasn’t licensed in. Built.

Partnered with

T3 Trading Group · the foundation The regulated foundation of the T3 group of companies. SEC-registered broker-dealer · FINRA/SIPC member, and one of the largest active-trader desks in the U.S.
T3 Global · built on it Built on that foundation: the same platforms, compliance team, and infrastructure. Where TradeFundrr’s funded accounts run, and the desk top traders graduate to. Not itself a registered broker-dealer; the Trading Group’s registrations don’t extend to it.
Who’s running the back-end The team behind TradeFundrr’s risk management, technology, and back-office operations spans decades of broker-dealer, derivatives, and trading infrastructure work. These aren’t kids running scripts. This is institutional-grade infrastructure, built for traders like you.

The ultimate pathway

From funded trading, to professional prop desks.

Most prop firms hand you an account and hope you figure it out. TradeFundrr is built as a progression: prove a real, risk-managed edge, and the path keeps going. Retail to institutional. Funded to elite.

01 · Start

A simulated funded account

Trade a $100K simulated funded account with every rule published before you pay. Hit your targets and you earn from real weekly payout cycles, paid every Friday.

02 · Prove

Consistency and risk control

Show sustained, risk-managed performance. No moving targets, no rule changes after you fund. The same standard a real desk holds its traders to.

Earned

03 · Audition

A seat at T3 Global

Top performers earn an invitation to audition for a real-money seat at T3 Global, scaling toward $1M+ and up to $20M+ in buying power at the top desk tier.*

That is the pathway most traders don't even know exists.

*The T3 Global desk path is reserved for top-performing traders and is subject to T3 Global review and audition. Not all traders qualify. TradeFundrr funded accounts are simulated with real payout cycles; live capital is earned through T3 Global. Sim is sim. Live is live.

The institutional partner · T3 Global

Built on real institutional infrastructure.

“Earn your way to a T3 seat” only means something if you know who T3 is, and how the pieces fit together.

Where you graduate

T3 Global is the institutional trading firm and live-capital path for top-performing TradeFundrr traders. This is the desk you earn your way to, by invitation.

T3 Global is not itself a registered broker-dealer.

▲ Built on the same infrastructure

Same trading platforms Same compliance team Same system-ops team

The foundation

T3 Trading Group is the T3 group's registered broker-dealer, one of the largest active-trader desks in the U.S. T3 Global is built on the same technology, platforms, and compliance. We leverage that foundation; it just isn't where you graduate to.

SEC-registered · FINRA / SIPC member

Traders do not graduate to this entity. Its registrations do not extend to T3 Global.

The important distinction

T3 Global and T3 Trading Group are separate business units within the T3 group of companies. The SEC, FINRA, and SIPC registrations belong to T3 Trading Group only and do not apply to T3 Global, the entity TradeFundrr traders graduate to. T3 Global is not itself a registered broker-dealer.

When a TradeFundrr trader proves a sustained, risk-managed edge, the path to a real-money seat runs through T3 Global's infrastructure: real firm capital, real fills, real desk oversight. By invitation, reserved for top performers.

Sim is sim. Live is live. T3 is live.

Reserved for top-performing traders. Subject to T3 Global review. Not all traders qualify. SEC, FINRA, and SIPC registrations refer to T3 Trading Group, a separate entity within the T3 group of companies, and do not apply to T3 Global or to TradeFundrr's simulated funded accounts.

Why this exists

A real partnership, not a sim shop with a website.

When Christian looked at the prop firm category, he saw the same pattern over and over. Foreign sim shops with no broker-dealer partner, no live-capital path, and a marketing page that promised what they could not actually deliver. The 2023 MyForexFunds shutdown by the CFTC for fraud was not an outlier. It was the predictable result of a category built on payout copy instead of infrastructure.

TradeFundrr was assembled differently. Christian took the partnership-first route: secure a regulated broker-dealer (T3 Trading Group, FINRA / SIPC), tie into a real institutional desk (T3 Global), then layer the trader-facing offer on top. The infrastructure came first. The marketing came second.

Which means the rules on the offer page are the actual rules. The payouts come out of real institutional infrastructure. And the graduation path to live capital is not a placeholder, it is the desk behind the offer.

That is the difference between a funded-trading program and a sim shop with a Stripe integration.

Hard-wired into everything we do

Transparency. Simplicity. Abundance.

Three principles built into every program, not slogans on a marketing page.

Transparency

You always know where you stand

Real-time, trade-by-trade reporting so you know exactly what's required before, during, and after every trade. Every rule, drawdown limit, and payout term is published before you pay. No bait-and-switch after funding.

Simplicity

Trade your way

One trade a day or a hundred, it's your call. Performance tools to help you grow the account safely, with weekly payouts every Friday, across all of our day-trader funding programs.

Abundance

Your own trading capital stays safe

You never put your own trading capital on the line. You get significant simulated buying power and real payouts, with a path to scale toward up to $20M+ at the T3 Global desk.* The better you trade, the more you scale.

*Scaling to the T3 Global desk is reserved for top-performing traders, by invitation, and is subject to T3 Global review and audition. Not all traders qualify. The evaluation fee is rebated on your first qualifying payout. Standard platform and data fees apply.

How we compare

TradeFundrr vs the prop firm landscape.

The honest comparison. Most prop firms route through retail brokerage infrastructure. TradeFundrr is partnered with a FINRA / SIPC-member broker-dealer and a real institutional desk, with a live-capital path that scales to $20M+. Same eval mechanic. Different infrastructure.

What is genuinely different about TradeFundrr: an affiliated SEC broker-dealer within the T3 group (T3 Trading Group, FINRA / SIPC member, whose registrations do not extend to the T3 Global desk traders graduate to) and a live-capital path that scales to institutional size, $1M+ in buying power at entry, up to $20M+ at the top tier. Topstep, Apex, Earn2Trade, and Maverick all have live-capital paths of some kind, but they cap at retail scale ($150K to $400K). FTMO is demo-only and explicitly says so.

What we cover that most do not: stocks, options, futures, and crypto on one program. Topstep, Apex, and Earn2Trade are futures-only. FTMO is forex and CFD. Maverick is the closest in asset class breadth.

What we are not: the cheapest entry. Topstep, Apex, and Earn2Trade have lower monthly entry points for futures-only traders who do not need institutional-scale capital. If price is the only variable, those firms win that comparison.
