If you are asking what happened to MyFundedFX while choosing a prop firm, look beyond the evaluation target. Your choice should also account for what happens after you pass: identity checks, funded-stage trading rules and payout eligibility. FundingTraders publishes those requirements, giving you a way to assess the path before you buy. This guide explains that choice for readers considering its Pro evaluations.
FundingTraders is a prop firm and appears in this comparison. This page reports what the sources said and shows what FundingTraders publishes. It does not speak for MyFundedFX, does not cover accounts, balances or payments held at MyFundedFX, and a FundingTraders account cannot restore or replace one.
What happened to MyFundedFX: what the sources say
The address myfundedfx.com redirects to a page on the Seacrest Markets website headed “Seacrest Markets is no longer operating”. Finance Magnates reported on February 11, 2025 that MyFundedFX had rebranded as SeacrestFunded. Finance Magnates reported on February 4, 2026 that Seacrest Markets announced it would close its proprietary trading operations, with all prop trading accounts and open positions to close on February 6, 2026.
This page does not cover MyFunded Futures, which the Finance Magnates closure report names separately.
Plan beyond the evaluation
The case for choosing FundingTraders starts with what you can examine in advance. Its Pro product rules connect evaluation objectives with funded-stage requirements, and its payout guide states the methods and minimums for a request. You can choose a route with the next stage already in view.
That matters when two evaluations look similar at checkout. A shorter evaluation does not remove funded-stage conditions. A stated payout interval does not replace eligibility checks. Read the path as three decisions: choose your evaluation route, prepare for funded access, and build a payout plan before you buy.
Choose your evaluation route
FundingTraders offers a useful choice of loss mechanics: a fixed maximum-loss threshold on 2-Step Pro, or a threshold that follows the highest recorded balance on 1-Step Pro. Select the structure that fits your approach before deciding on account size.
| Route | Evaluation objectives | Loss rules to plan around |
|---|---|---|
| 2-Step Pro6 | Two phases: 6% target in each. Four minimum trading days per phase. | 3% daily loss; 6% fixed maximum loss. |
| 2-Step Pro10 | Two phases: 10% then 5%. Four minimum trading days per phase. | 5% daily loss; 10% fixed maximum loss. |
| 1-Step Pro | One phase: 10% target. The product article specifies two minimum trading days. | 3% daily loss; 10% of account size below the highest recorded balance, trailing as that balance rises. |
Standard requirements from FundingTraders’ published product rules, before add-ons. The No Minimum Trading Days add-on listed at checkout removes the day requirement in every stage. The linked articles hold the full conditions.
The daily loss amount is the stated percentage of the initial account size, deducted from starting-day balance on 2-Step Pro or starting-day equity on 1-Step Pro. Both assess balance or equity against the resulting threshold. Targets are measured on balance, with positions closed. A fixed maximum-loss threshold stays in place as profit rises, while a trailing threshold rises with the recorded balance. Daily limits still apply to both routes.
There is also a meaningful payout distinction. FundingTraders’ terms, consistency-score section explicitly list no payout consistency score for Pro6 and Pro10. The 1-Step Pro rules require the largest profit day to be no more than 50% of total profits for payout eligibility. You can weigh that difference before committing to an evaluation; all other trading and payout conditions still apply.
Prepare for funded access
You can prepare for the funded stage while evaluating the product. FundingTraders’ KYC Verification article says identity verification is required before access to a funded account, though it is not required for trading-account access immediately after purchase. Its Risk Management Group framework also explains that evaluation history is reviewed before or as an account becomes funded. That review can determine the starting risk status and its conditions.
Three areas deserve attention in that transition:
- Risk per trade idea. The product articles describe a floating-or-closed-loss limit of 2% of initial account balance per trade idea: funded only for 2-Step Pro, challenge and funded for 1-Step Pro. The risk framework can impose tighter controls. Separately, the terms, risk-per-trade section assess planned risk and distinguish discipline assessments from hard breaches. These are different measurements; read both documents and the controls applying to your account.
- News trading. The Pro articles permit news trading during evaluation. The terms, news-trading provisions prohibit heavy reliance on news in either phase. Funded Pro accounts have a 30% cap on total profits from news-influenced trades. Classification covers positions opened, held or closed within five minutes before or after a high-impact event, with a stated exception for positions held at least five hours beforehand. Read that definition against your trading plan.
- Trading activity. Both Pro product articles specify two minimum trading days in the funded phase before the No Minimum Trading Days add-on. The general trading guidelines say a volume-weighted average holding time below two minutes is flagged for review, with termination listed as the action. They prohibit high-frequency trading strategies and describe the inactivity rule: no trades within the initial 30-day period from purchase causes failure, and the summary also calls for activity in every 30-day period.
These published requirements help you judge the fit of the funded account as well as the challenge. Your evaluation plan should carry through to the rules you will need afterward.
Build a payout plan before you buy
FundingTraders gives you several concrete details to plan around: when a first request can become eligible, the applicable profit split, the payout method and the fee-refund condition. Start with eligibility timing. On 2-Step Pro, the default first payout is available 21 days after the first funded trade, or 14 days with the 14-Day Payout Add-On. For 1-Step Pro, check the selected account and add-ons against its published payout cycle. The clock starts at the funded trade, not at the evaluation purchase.
Timing and rule compliance work together. On 1-Step Pro, for example, a largest profit day representing 60% of total profits would exceed its 50% consistency threshold. Reaching a scheduled payout date would not remove that condition. This is an illustration of the published calculation, not a forecast of trading results.
The default trader share is 80% on 2-Step Pro and 90% on 1-Step Pro. Funded accounts are also covered by the Risk Management Group framework (help article 11927126). Tier status can change the split and payout deductions; the terms, Discipline Program provisions state that tier splits override profit-split add-ons. Read your applicable status alongside the product’s default.
For Pro accounts, Requesting a Payout lists:
| Method | Minimum | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Rise bank transfer | $200 | Request through the FundingTraders dashboard. |
| Crypto through Coinbase Commerce, USDT-ERC20 | $50 | Available only if Rise is not an option. |
All positions and limit orders must be closed before requesting a payout. The evaluation fee is refunded once, with a qualifying payout, as the 1-Step Pro and 2-Step Pro help articles set out. A request remains subject to the account’s rules and review.

Questions about the path to a funded account
Did MyFundedFX become SeacrestFunded?
Yes. Finance Magnates reported on February 11, 2025 that MyFundedFX rebranded as SeacrestFunded. The later Finance Magnates report described Seacrest Markets’ announced closure of proprietary trading operations.
What happens between passing and funded access at FundingTraders?
KYC verification is required before funded-account access. The risk framework says evaluation history is reviewed before or as funding occurs and can affect starting risk status. Completing a target is one part of the process.
Does the payout clock start when I buy an evaluation?
No. The 2-Step Pro article measures its default 21-day first-payout interval from the first funded trade, with a 14-day option through the relevant add-on. Eligibility rules also apply. Review the selected product and add-ons before purchasing.
Which Pro route has no payout consistency score?
FundingTraders’ terms, consistency-score section list none for 2-Step Pro6 and Pro10. 1-Step Pro has a 50% largest-profit-day condition for payout eligibility. Both routes retain their other trading and payout requirements.
Is the evaluation fee refunded?
The evaluation fee is refunded once, with a qualifying payout, as the 1-Step Pro and 2-Step Pro help articles set out. Read those terms when assessing the full cost and conditions of your chosen evaluation.
