Prop trading company FunderPro has announced its upcoming Futures trading service, opening a waitlist for early access on a dedicated site, funderprofutures.com. This new service is part of FunderPro’s strategic expansion to broaden trading options for its users.
FunderPro’s Integration with cTrader
This announcement follows closely on the heels of FunderPro’s recent integration of the cTrader platform. By adding cTrader, a versatile forex and CFD trading platform, FunderPro aims to enhance its offering with a broader selection of financial instruments and a robust liquidity network, making it accessible to both corporate and individual traders. This integration aligns FunderPro with other prop trading firms like Goat Funded Trader, The Funded Trader, and MyFundedFX, which also utilize cTrader to provide users with diverse trading opportunities.
Growing Interest in Futures Trading
The Futures market has recently attracted interest from various firms, with companies like AvaTrade expanding their services to include a dedicated Futures trading platform, AvaFuture. This platform allows for trading in micro, mini, and standard futures contracts across various asset classes, including indices, commodities, currencies, treasuries, cryptocurrencies, and metals.
A recent study by Acuiti highlights that European retail brokers are increasingly favoring Futures and options over traditional retail over the counter products, with 50% of them now prioritizing these instruments. Commenting on this shift, FX consultant Anya Aratovskaya noted that while European traders have shown a growing interest in Futures alongside CFDs, the trend is still moderate across markets.
FunderPro’s move to introduce Futures reflects a broader industry shift as traders and firms alike explore new opportunities in Futures amid evolving regulatory landscapes for retail trading.
