Meet Funded Prediction Trader: A New Path From Prediction Skill to Payouts

A trader who prices a Fed decision better than the market earns in proportion to the money already in their account. Skill compounds. The account under it does not. That gap is why we started this company.

You have probably felt it. A read lands, the position is capped by what you happened to have on hand at the start of the year, and a good call pays like a small one. So you scale down, take fewer shots, and the edge you actually have never gets tested at size.

FPT Scale is our answer. One evaluation on a simulated trading account, then a funded account with published rules, a 90% profit split, and payout caps that rise as approved payouts stack up.

Prediction markets got big in a hurry. Combined monthly volume across Kalshi and Polymarket climbed from under $5 billion in September 2025 to about $24 billion in April 2026, on Pew Research Center's reading of data from The Block. Both sit on the CFTC register of designated contract markets, Polymarket through its US entity.

Two workarounds exist. Both charge you something. Trade your own account and you answer to nobody, but the ceiling is your balance rather than your read. Buy a futures evaluation and the funded structure is pointed at the wrong instruments: what you actually price is crude or EURUSD, not event contracts. One long-running program describes its own accounts as demo accounts with fictitious funds.

The product is four moves, and none of them sit behind a sales call. Pass one evaluation, trade funded, receive approved payouts within 48 hours of approval, then unlock more size.

Account size is the benchmark your profit target, max loss and drawdown are measured against. It is not cash paid to you and not buying power. What you can hold at any moment is your max open size: $1,000 on a funded $50k account at funded start, rising to $2,500 at the top rung.

Suppose your best market is a quiet one. Your account's max open size says one thing, and the market's own depth says another. The smaller of the two wins, every time.

Three rules took the longest to settle, because each one shapes how a trader actually works here. This is the reasoning behind them.

Prop traders react to this one first. We took away a circuit breaker, not a risk: max loss and end-of-day trailing drawdown both still apply. An event contract can reprice at 3am, with no session close to be flat by.

The 40% consistency rule applies to funded payout cycles, not just the evaluation, and going over it is not a breach — it defers a payout until further profitable days bring the ratio down. It is there so the ladder rewards a repeatable edge rather than one lucky resolution, which is what makes the scaling tiers worth climbing.

Any one market is capped at 5% of its 24-hour volume, and an order over the line is blocked rather than counted against you. Futures rulebooks cap contracts or lots. None we read caps you against the market itself. In a thin book that is the tighter limit, better published than found in a bad fill. Rule by rule against the futures norm goes further.

The traders who do best here already have a read they can repeat. What they are missing is the account behind it, which is the part we built.

FPT is pre-launch, so founding members are joining before there is public performance history to read. What is already published is the part you are buying: the full rule set, the pricing, the payout ladder and the account mechanics, all published before you pay. When approved payouts exist, we publish the numbers and the method behind them.

Founding pricing holds while the waitlist stays open: $99 on the $50k FPT Scale with the code FOUNDER against $249 regular, a monthly plan at $79/mo, and $99 for a reset. Launch is the earlier of 100 paid founding purchases or 30 calendar days from the first one, so the window closes either way and reaching 100 is not a precondition. Everyone who buys inside it activates together.

Two rules are worth reading closely before you start, because between them they set the pace of a run: the end-of-day trailing drawdown and the 40% consistency rule. Both are written out in the rules and FAQ, in full, before you pay anything. Then pick your account size and take a founding spot while the window is open.
