FTUK is by far the best Prop i have worked with in my 10+ years of trading. Support team is great, withdrawals are super easy and fast, both thru Crytpo and thru Rise, no problems at all. Would highly recommend to any other friend or trader out there.

The Account Protector once closed an oversized EURUSD hedge at 1.9 %. That small sting saved the whole account, so I’ve kept the tool active ever since.
Response from FTUKApr 26, 2025
Thanks for taking the time to post a quick review about the Account Protector, Brooke. When we look at the data long term, it's clear this tool has saved more traders from blowing up — and kept them in the market longer — than any other risk management process we have.
In the heat of the moment, it's easy for any trader to 'see red' and stray outside the discipline of their strategy or move a stop to "give it a little more room." The Account Protector stays totally objective and makes sure you keep enough capital to come back tomorrow.
This one small mechanism makes a massive difference to trader longevity — and increasing your chances of long-term success is what it's all about!

Dear Tayo,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration and truly regret any inconvenience caused.
As mentioned in our communication to you, for compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, we cannot accept payments made by third parties. This is a standard industry practice to protect both our traders and our platform. Since the payment was made using someone else’s card, we were unable to proceed and have already issued a full refund to the original payment method.
You're more than welcome to sign up again in the future using your own payment method. We appreciate your understanding and wish you all the best in your trading journey.
Kind regards,
FTUK

Why I Don’t Recommend FTUK Due to Unacceptable Bid-Ask Spreads
I cannot recommend FTUK as a proprietary trading firm, primarily due to their outrageously large bid-ask spreads, which severely undermine the trading experience and raise serious concerns about transparency and fairness. For example, trading GBPUSD.e—a major forex pair—on their platform consistently shows spreads as high as 49 pips, as observed on April 18, 2025. This is astronomical compared to industry standards, where GBPUSD typically has spreads of 0.5–2 pips with reputable brokers, even during volatile periods.
Such wide spreads make profitable trading nearly impossible, especially for short-term strategies like scalping. For a 0.1 lot trade, a 49-pip spread translates to an immediate $49 loss just to enter a position, which is a massive hurdle for any trader, funded or not. This issue appears systemic across their platform, as it persists regardless of market conditions or trading hours, even during high-liquidity sessions like the London-New York overlap. For a prop firm that markets itself as beginner-friendly with instant funding and flexible rules, this feels like a deceptive practice designed to stack the odds against traders.
Why do I consider this misleading? FTUK does not adequately disclose or justify these spreads upfront. Their website and promotional materials emphasize profit splits up to 80% and account scaling, but they fail to highlight that their spreads—potentially due to their liquidity provider or instrument pricing (e.g., GBPUSD.e as a CFD)—are so wide that profitability is a pipe dream for most. This lack of transparency smells like a bait-and-switch: traders are lured in with promises of funded accounts, only to face trading costs that make success unattainable. While FTUK may not be an outright scam, these spreads create an environment where traders are set up to fail, which feels manipulative and undermines trust.
Other prop firms, like The Funded Trader or brokers like IC Markets, offer spreads closer to market norms (1–3 pips for major pairs), proving that tight spreads are achievable even in funded trading models. FTUK’s failure to compete here, combined with their vague communication about pricing, makes them a poor choice. I’d advise traders to avoid FTUK until they address these predatory spreads and prioritize transparency. Save your money and look for a firm that doesn’t burden you with insurmountable trading costs from the start.

Thankyou for taking the time to write your review Joseph. Unfortunately we've not been able to identify you on the system so we've reached out to you privately here on Trustpilot. If you could supply your contact details the team will be in touch to discuss any confusion over the pricing of our markets.
Having checked our market for GBPUSD across our 3 main core platforms our spread ranges from 1.2 PIPs to 3.2 PIPs - not 49 pips.
DXTrades
GBPUSD BID: 1.32746 OFFER: 1.32768 Spread: 0.00022 = 2.2 PIPs
TradeLocker
GBPUSD BID: 1.32724 OFFER: 1.32736 Spread: 0.00012 = 1.2 PIPs
MatchTrader
GBPUSD BID: 1.32725 OFFER: 1.32757 Spread: 0.00032 = 3.2 PIPs
Often traders can misunderstand the fifth decimal place in a quote, mistaking that to be the value of a pip when, in fact, that represents one 10th of a single PIP. This might mean they think 32 means 32 PIPs where it actually represents 3.2 PIP's
Once again, if you can get intouch with the team we will do everything we can to assist you.

Second Review and Payout
Finally, my first payout and time for the second review of FTUK. I only have good things to say. The trading condition in the funded account was excellent, spreads, fast execution, you name it, it's there. Today my payout of $3876 was approved and I am very happy about it. Thank you Nick and team for this wonderful opportunity.
One special mention to Reza from Discord support. He was extraordinary. I am a person who asks too many questions. He answered every question patiently. He made sure that I am well aware of the rules. Thank you so much Reza for the excellent support throughout this journey.

The scaling plan at FTUK is incredible
The scaling plan at FTUK is incredible. I've been able to grow my account really quickly. And the fact that you can withdraw profits without it affecting your scaling is a huge bonus.
Response from FTUKApr 12, 2025
Thanks so much, Wendy! We've always focused on scaling being a core part of long term success. It's simply a numbers game.
The more capital you can access the easier and more profitable trading becomes. There's an old trading adage: the easiest way to make a small fortune in markets is... start with a big one!
It's true and our scaling plan makes that a reality for so many successful traders. It's pretty unique to FTUK. We're buzzing to hear you're loving the way it works - it's great feedback, thanks and keep up the good work!
