Prop trading is quickly becoming the smarter way to trade—giving people a chance to grow without risking their life savings. One of the newest entrants in the space is Funded7, a prop trading firm that promises fast payouts, fair rules, and a platform built entirely with traders in mind.
We sat down with Todor Georgiev, the founder of Funded7.
What does Funded7 stand for? Why the number 7?
In many Asian cultures, 7 symbolizes balance and luck—a fusion of Yin and Yang. In the West, it’s seen as a number of mystique and spiritual perfection. At Funded7, we embrace that symbolism.
We’ve built the platform on seven pillars of success: trust, strategy, education, funding, discipline, growth, and achievement. It’s not just a number. It’s a mindset.
How does a Forex COO decide to launch Prop trading that is unregulated?
Prop trading is still young and different. Traders don’t risk their own savings. They pay a fixed fee to take a challenge, and if they pass, we fund them with real capital. It’s a model based on statistics and probability—some pass, some don’t—but there’s no personal financial disaster if they fail. It’s smarter, cleaner, and fairer for everyone.
We’d actually welcome proper regulation if it’s done the right way. But the truth is, overregulation is what’s suffocating the Forex industry today.
It started with a good goal: clean out the scammers and fake brokers. But what happened instead is that regulators in Europe are now squeezing out the smaller forex firms and creating a monopoly for the big ones. The few big brokers have quadrupled their trading volumes and client base in just a few years.
It’s like what happened after COVID with billionaire wealth. It’s no longer the top 1%—it’s the top 0.01% pulling ahead. Regulation, if done wrong, doesn’t protect the little guy—it crushes him. That’s why the prop space still offers freedom and opportunity, both for traders and for companies like Funded7.
How do prop firms actually make money? Some people think it’s all a trick to avoid payouts.
That’s a common question. The business model is simple: traders pay to take challenges. Statistically speaking some will not pass, and that covers the firm’s operational costs and risk. But when someone passes, we give them capital and they keep 80–90% of the profits. There’s no trick.
It’s completely different from Forex, where the aim is to get a few clients to deposit big and hope they lose. In prop trading, it’s about discipline and skill. A trader with $250 can get access to a $50,000 funded account. If they perform, they get paid—and so do we.
Why should a trader choose Funded7 over other prop firms?
Because we actually put traders first. Bigger account sizes and better value for money. We offer fast payouts, clear rules. There are no hidden conditions. If you pass, you get funded. If you make money, you get paid—fast.
What’s the difference between One Phase, Two Phase, and Instant Funding Challenges?
Two Phase and One Phase have the same balance amounts that max out at $500,000. The One Phase model has slightly lower daily and total loss limits, and a higher profit target, making it more difficult. It’s also more expensive.
Instant Funding has no evaluation or phases, but comes with lower balances, higher pricing, and stricter drawdown limits. It’s for traders who want to start on a Funded account right away.
What payment methods can clients use on Funded7?
All methods that you can think of: PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Neteller, Skrill, Crypto, and local instant banking in a lot of countries.
We’ve made it easy—no excuses.
What kind of accounts and funding models do you offer?
We offer funded accounts up to $500,000. Traders can choose between One Phase, Two Phase, or Instant Funding options. Whether you want to prove your skills gradually or start right away, we have a model that fits.
Are there any hidden or tricky rules traders should know about?
None. If it’s not in the FAQ or Terms—it doesn’t exist. We don’t have any of those “gotcha” rules like consistency requirements or restrictions on profit speed. You trade how you want. Pass the challenge, get funded. That’s it.
What happens if someone fails the challenge but shows potential?
We offer resets. Everyone has bad days—if you made a simple mistake, you don’t need to start from scratch. The first one is free of charge.
What’s next for Funded7 in the coming year?
Growth—with the right mindset. We’re launching trading competitions, exclusive discounts, loyalty rewards, and building a strong affiliate program with high payouts. Our focus is on creating a community of skilled, motivated traders and giving them the tools to succeed.
