Trade The Pool Reviews 617

There was an issue with the platform on Friday that caused me to incur some losses. I messaged support here and via the live chat. They have completely resolved the issue, and all losses that affected me are now gone. I have used Tradethepool for a while now. Evaluation accounts up to funded accounts, right up to 200k funded. I must say the support and service they offer is second to none. This is coming from someone who has used many prop/future firms. I would say 85%+ of the firms out there do their best to set you up to fail. When you make a mistake, you suffer, of course.... but when the error is their end, it's still your problem. TTP is first class. A+ service, and you have a 100% fair shot at being successful here; if you don't, you are more than likely to blame. I am sorry to say. It's nice to see there are still some good firms out there. Keep up the good work, guys!

Trade The Pool has been a game changer. It's the only prop firm in Canada that I've heard of that has such a vast selection of stocks to trade. And I can short them easily, which is a huge advantage over traditional brokerages. The fees are all built in and the transactions fast. The rules and the fees do make it challenging, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. And the platform is actually great. So many ways to enter a position and add stops. So many good visuals. If you're a beginner or been trading a while, Trade The Pool will definitely level you up. It has for me.

Trade The Pool, great for a new and curious trader figuring out the market, also good for large cap and swing traders. Not a good fit for active small cap traders or scalpers. I learned this the hard way after the new 5% rule was enforced. When you add that rule along with a 10 cent rule, hostile scaling math on trades, and horrible spreads, it creates an environment of endless friction for day trading. Another note is they share cap certain traders randomly and wrongfully invalidate trades off the 5% rule (I had to do my own research and send screenshots multiple times of time and sales to support). The platform itself also is clunky and will not let you enter or exit trades occasionally. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noticed a change and performance drop after the new rules, I can respect the firm and what they’re doing.. traders do find success, but certain trading styles aren’t welcome

Dishonest rules, meant to really to try and make it as easier to lose your account, They attempt to frame it a protecting capital, but the truth is they just are looking for ways to disqualify your trades or make it easier for you to lose account.

Anytime you make some progress feels like oh here is this arbitrary rule that disqualifies your trade.

Oh you hit a profit threshold were going to move up your minimum account size so even though you earned extra cushion we are going to arbitrarily take away some of that cushion pretend likes its to protect capital, but it actually to keep your back against the wall and make it easier for you to lose account.

Biggest issue is I was trading a strategy where I entered on the first 1 minute candle at the open with a stop at the high of the day open 1 minute candle. I traded this strategy for 4 monthes built up a roughly $14,500 profit. When I was getting my account updated for hitting profit threshold they said oh there is this completely arbitrary rule, that your shares you enter with can't be more then 5% the volume of the previous 1 minute candle. Well the previous candle is always going to be premarket which is generally lower volume. So they disqualified all my trades pretty much and said you will not receive any of that profit and will have to start and account from scratch.

I have 2 Major issues with this.

1st: The rule is completely arbitrary. An should have considerations like my situations where the premarket candle 1 minute before the open will almost NEVER meet that criteria.

2nd: There was no warning or anything that I was doing anything wrong with this rule I had no idea was in place for some reason. So then I spent 4 months of work buildup nearly $15,000 in profit and they pretty much say sorry. You don't receive anything and you will have to start from scratch.

EDIT: For Reply
I appreciated the offer of a new account which essentially starts from zero. Despite the explanations, I still feel the rule is pretty arbitrary and has no benefit for trader/users of the platform.

Whether I agree with the rule is a different topic though. My biggest gripe is that there was no warning as with other rules, so that someone can be aware of what disqualifies a trade or not. Instead when I am getting ready to advance account or draw out profits. After months of work and building a $15,000 cushion no a small amount of money. From a user perspective it just feels likes were going to wipe out all your months of work and were not going to pay you out based on this very niche rule that you did not know about and you were not informed you were breaking until it was time to take out some money.

I appreciate the fresh account, but when you spend hours a day preparing to trade and months of work and build up $15,000 in profit before split in a current account. An it just gets wiped out. I'm sorry I still feel that it left a bad taste in my mouth.

A lot of information and help during the process. There are many tools that can be used in order for you to be successful. Company is legit and trustworthy. prop firms are a great opportunity to build wealth without mayor risk.

I have to say I've been with Tradethepool for about three years now. I like to see this platform as a way to improve on our skills as traders. Along the way, the rules first seem as restraint, but eventually has helped to bring out the discipline necessary to become a better trader.

I also like the interface of the App and how easy it is to maneuver around it. However, recently I've experienced as I would like to put it, a glitch on the website when trying to purchase a new evaluation. At this time, the Development team are currently looking into it I'm informed. So fingers crossed, and thanks to Tradethepool for the opportunity this platform has served to we traders. I strongly recommend this Propfirm.

After a first few attempts with this company I noticed a few disturbing problems however after asking a lot of questions and working with their excellent 24/5 support they solved all the issues and I now love the company as the best in the industry. Keep allowing penny stocks please don't ever change that

This is the best investing platform out there. They truly care about their customers. They are always there and will do everything to help you succeed.

The trade the pool app has great execution and data feed

It's a great training ground for traders. It's also a great way to reduce your risk while trading with someone else's capital.

Can't trade most days as it will say the market is closed all day long. Orders take a long time to fill. F tier broker.

Offers a reliable platform for aspiring stock traders seeking funded accounts. Their evaluation process is straightforward, and once funded, the access to substantial capital helps overcome PDT restrictions effectively.

Trade The Pool is ahead of the game-- these guys are way out front regarding Prop Firms. TTP is pretty much everything traders could want in a prop firm. They are very supportive in those that want to learn risk management trading, which is the key to being successful in a complex career. I been with them for a while and they are the closes to a perfect prop firm in all my research, The CEO is pleasurable to partner with. So, I am Bullish on Trade The Pool!

As frustrating as the rules can be, they have helped me to become extremely diligent with my risk management and thoughtful when entering trades. Trade the Pool has been a huge resource for my growth as a trader.
