Trade The Pool Reviews 617

I made 2 payments, under $1,000.00, sales told me Trade Ideas can be connected, found it cannot be connected, this is false advertising.

Asked for refund, as this is my right, company think money grows on trees, person should not have to beg for his money if some mistake happen from company,

I am very upset about my time being wasted and provided with false information,

Had fall out with Trade Ideas and now waiting for my refund from Trade the Pool,

This should never happened and all staff should be highly educated and give correct information to prevent any dispute.

I have been very impressed by the professionalism demonstrated by TTP throughout my journey towards getting funded. Very excited for the future with this great prop firm. Highly recommend.

I like the trading platform. Very interactive and easy to use. I just wish that the drawdown were a little higher.

A great opportunity to polish my day trading skills without blowing up my accounts.

I have been a funded trader for 2 years with Trade The Pool which has recently celebrated their 3 year anniversary. I understand the growing pains of a prop firm and the fact that what they're doing is unique. I have been very patient through all of the mishaps mostly due to them devoloping their own proprotiery trading platform. The issue is that they've have years to work out all the bugs and they still can't get it to properly sync with the dashbaord and backend account numbers(so the CS members at help desk say). Everything looks ok on the surface especially if you're a new equities trader and found pretty much the only prop firm that let's you freely trade equities, but there's a catch. The rules are incredibly restrictive and customer service response time has fallen off a cliff. They used to be more attentive but now you're lucky if you get one email response a day. It often seems like they don't even thoroughly read your response or look into your account. Then sometimes you'll have supervisor step in or a moderator from discord help you and it seems like no one communicates. After you pass your evaluation phase you're given a funded acount. Now here's where it get's even trickier. The program terms for funding are vaguely written by either incompetent or intentially tricky lawyers. I've made many withdrawal over the years and as of late it has been a battle getting a withdrawal. As of this review I have been waiting over a week for a simple withdrawal request of not even $5k. I have documentation of it and other funded traders who waited weeks for funded account issues and withdrawals. There a process called scaling up or "buying power upgrade" on their site for being funded once you hit your profit target they give you more daily limit loss and BP. Sounds cool at first but this creates a whole new headache. You can wait days at a time to get this "upgrade". Then often times they don't update your dashboard right and/or the max loss/daily pause will be off in the broker and it will lock you out. Again taking days for them to reset and fix. Often longer. So not only is being a funded trader already difficult with the rules and shady program terms, the BP upgrade is more of a roadblock than anything. Then in the terms we recently found out(keep in mind after 3 years of having them on their site) that the profits rollover and become your new max drawdown are somehow vanished after you "dip into them" even though you have to trade and earn them again in you account to bring you max drawdown down to zero then going in profit target again. How does it make sense to rollover profits then have to make them back only for them to be unaccounted for? Further proof that the entire process of being funded is rigged against you at TTP! Like I said it had been a relatively bearable experience making withdrawal requests before but TTP is really stretching their re-interpretations of new rules that aren't even explicity written. The entire funded BP upgrade process is cumbersome and ineffecient. It's been 3 years and they are still addressing fundamental issue with their propriety broker glitches and dashboard not lining up. The help team is there to deflect and delay at every turn. The whole experience of getting any sort of account fix or the withdrawal money you're owed feels like a hostage negotation. The service turnaround has really taken a dive and open re-interpretation of funded program terms is very dissapointing. Considering most of what help says that's in there isn't there explicitly. When you communicate with the discord mods for TTP they have little power to actually reach the help team or anyone at TTP and simply relay the vague answers from management. Then when you get into the numbers during your withdrawal "negotations" somehow help's "backend numbers" are never the same as the ones that are very clearly displayed in your dashboard. It's always "off" or "much less" than what you have. Most of the time never in your favor. Either not everyone in CS and/or management isn't on the same page or this seems to be a negotation tactic to frustrate and stifle actual funded traders from future payouts. What is most confusing is all of the marketing in podcasts/youtube, competitions, and features TTP seems to being doing to gain new eval revenue. I understand you run a prop business, but why can't you address your fundamental broker/dashboard glitches that you always say "we are working on it". Why is the funded process so complex and why haven't your program terms been thoroughly reviewed in years by a team of lawyers? This is how prop firms go south and it's very sad to see.

Scam total bullshit.

Awesome experience when trading stocks

I’ve been with TTP for two years now as a funded trader. During this time, I’ve made multiple withdrawals from trading profits without any issues, as long as trades were conducted within the rules. It’s worth taking the time to fully understand the rules and adjust your strategies accordingly—once you do, the partnership with TTP becomes very rewarding. Their customer service is always supportive, and the Discord team responds quickly. Highly recommended for stock traders.

Excellent trading platform and wonderful customer support team

Spreads are horrible, more so on post market.
Some of the rules are horrible too like for example the halt rule and 8% rule. I got trades unvalidated just because you "reserve the right"...its nonsense to let you execute trades before a halt, and then you come out and say it doesn't count because TTP reserve the right ...these are basically made to steal money. You may say is to limit risk and help traders, but its the same as SEC saying theres PDT rule for helping day traders. Its just nonsense. Other than that, is good. But rest assure, youll have big winners and TTP will come out and invalidate trades. They will keep the money and youll get nothing.

Oct20 update.
- I pass the evaluation once again, but this time i got invalidated 4 trades due to the "Position Volume Rule"
- Im baffled by this rule. So if you are a day trader, which you need FAST THINKING and FAST EXECUTION, you need to pay attention to the previous 1 min candle to determine and make sure you are not exceeding the amount of shares to buy. WHAT? LOL.

I really like TTP and the platform, but these specific rules are just designed to make you lose. Yes, you will win and keep the profits, but some of these rules are going to be broken either way, so you will lose on those, and TTP keeps the money.

Such an amazing company who listen to their traders/partners. Today's announcement for scrapping the 8% 4 minute volatility rule for the evaluation is music to my ears. It's been replaced with what I feel is a great new rule. You are allowed to size your trade with up to 5% of the total volume from the last 1 minute candle. This new rule gives me a great chance to pass my 60 day evaluation -which is almost over. My plan is to scalp the hot pennies pre market before moving onto a larger cap gap ups or decent ranged stock like NVDA. I love this company and if they did merchandise like shirts/Hoodies -I would be repping it down my local supermarket or gym. They deserve nothing but great success! I pray to be having that pass the evaluation interview soon!

He was very helpful and informative!

I have tried trading for years and lost thousands. Trade The Pool taught me discipline. I found my system and after many failed evals, I finally passed. It is such a great feeling. The best part of TTP is shorting. No need to locate and pay for shares. Just hit the Sell button. It couldn't be any easier.

If I could give a negative I would. Spent a substantial money to buy into an evaluation. Because of the way their trading platform executes orders, they bought my pre-market order at highest price and sold it at lowest price. Within 15 minutes, I came close to MDD and they shut me down for the day. Within my first 15 minutes, I am close to having the account shut down, which they do if you hit max draw down. So basically, because I have almost no room for error now, I spent a lot of money for 15 minutes of trading.

I Am surprisingly amaze by the quality and efficiency of the customer support.

The data is super fast, the range of assets is enormous.

The lives and vidéo training are free and high quality insights.

Every questions and request were answered kindly and super fast.

Risk management team really available and consistent.

Just thank you to Money Mitch, Micheal Nauss
