Serving
over 750,000 traders, prop firm FundingPips unveiled its new brand focused
entirely on the futures market, FundingTicks, in early March. The service is
still being tested, and its creators appear to be actively responding to
community feedback.

As a
result, they’ve added the Tradovate trading platform to their lineup along with
the ability to copy other investors’ transactions.

FundingPips for CFDs,
FundingTicks for Futures

The
announcement that FundingTicks officially launched appeared on March 7 and was
promoted as “the future of futures.” The firm offers clients the
option of instant funding or going through a 1-step evaluation program where a
funded account worth $100,000 is available for $286.

The company
has just expanded its existing offering by adding the Tradovate trading
platform to its lineup of previous platforms, which included TradingView and
the popular futures platform NinjaTrader.

“Start
trading your accounts now on Tradovate alongside NinjaTrader and
TradingView,” FundingTicks commented on social media.

The same
day, another update appeared, introducing the option to copy trade movements on
funded accounts of other prop firm clients.

“Copy
trading is now allowed across all your FundingTicks accounts. That means you
can copy trades across up to six 50K accounts or three 100K accounts,” the
prop firm announced.

Prop Firms Opening Up to
the Futures Market

FundingPips’s
move toward the futures market and the creation of a separate brand,
FundingTicks, confirms a new trend we’ve been observing in the prop trading
industry in recent quarters.

At the
beginning of 2025, after completing the beta phase and gathering 100,000
interested traders, FXIFY’s futures-dedicated branch appeared on the market.

FunderPro
made a similar move in mid-November, and a month earlier, Traddoo did the same
by partnering with TradersLaunch. The controversial firm The Funded Trader
previously announced the same move by launching The Funded Futures.

The pioneer
of this solution, however, is MyFundedFX, which was the first to move toward a
separate futures brand, MyFundedFutures.

What’s
behind these decisions by a growing number of firms? They may be a response to restrictions from early 2024, including MetaQuotes’ regulatory overhaul and limitations on serving US clients. The futures market, unlike CFD, may allow for the bypassing of these restrictions.

Another
solution is obtaining their own brokerage license, which FundingPips decided to
do in mid-March. This allowed the prop firm to offer MetaTrader to its clients
again after a year-long break.
