Funded Trader Markets Brings Simulated Funding Programmes to Forex Expo Dubai 2026

Funded Trader Markets (FTM) will present its simulated funding programmes at Forex Expo Dubai 2026 on 22–23 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre, joining more than 250 exhibitors in Halls 1–5. The proprietary trading firm said it has paid more than $7.5 million across 5,055 trader rewards since August 2024, with an all‑time average time to pay of 26 minutes and 2 seconds, and that every crypto reward is verifiable on Arbiscan.

"Rewards are requested on demand, closer to prop firms with instant payouts than to a fixed cycle, and guaranteed within 24 hours or doubled," the firm said, emphasising the speed and transparency of its payout process.

Programmes, platforms and payout mechanics

FTM will showcase three families of simulated funding programmes aimed at retail and professional traders, as well as brokers and introducing brokers. Key offerings include:

• 1‑Step Nitro — 10% profit target with a 4% daily and 6% overall limit; pays 90% on the first $10,000 of simulated profits and 80% thereafter.
• 2‑Step Plus — a two‑phase evaluation that runs against a 10% balance‑based static drawdown.
• Instant Funding — opens a simulated funded trading account without an evaluation step at up to 80% payout.

Accounts are available in sizes from $5,000 to $300,000 and run on four platforms: MetaTrader 5, cTrader, TradeLocker and Match‑Trader. FTM said its product stack covers 76 instruments spanning forex, metals, energies, indices and cryptocurrencies. All accounts are swap‑free, and "no programme carries an activation fee or a time limit," the company added.

Risk parameters, leverage and consistency checks

FTM applies explicit risk controls across its programmes. The 1‑Step Nitro evaluation carries a 50% evaluation consistency requirement and 45% once funded; Instant Funding tiers use a 15% consistency rule and a 3% daily limit. Leverage reaches up to 1:100 on forex instruments, with lower leverage on commodities and cryptocurrencies. Support is offered 24 hours a day.

FTM also publishes a full reward history and offers on‑chain verification for cryptocurrency payouts through Arbiscan, positioning its transparency measures as a differentiator for traders seeking verifiable payment records.

Event context and participation

The Forex Expo Dubai runs from 10:00 to 18:00 on both days. Event organiser HQ MENA reported a Guinness World Record figure linked to the exhibition—20,021 visitors and 262 exhibitors—underscoring the scale of the regional gathering. Traders interested in attending can register through the event organiser's website.

FTM provided contact details for media and trader enquiries: support@fundedtradermarkets.com and press enquiries via GrowthNXT at connect@growthnxt.com. The company’s website is listed as fundedtradermarkets.com.

Outlook

By bringing simulated funding programmes and rapid, verifiable payouts to one of the region's largest retail forex gatherings, Funded Trader Markets aims to engage traders and brokers who prioritise speed of payout, clear risk rules and multi‑platform access. With published payout statistics and on‑chain verification, the firm is positioning its simulated model as an alternative for traders who want exposure to funded accounts without risking personal capital.
