Trade The Pool Reviews 617

Found TTP from a community I am involved with and found they allow trading small caps with prop firm and the ability to short them. It took me a little time to get used to the software but all good now. I am excited to use the funded account. Very fair rules and dashboard is a great tool to watch your progress. Thank you TTP for creating this community.

If you can trade within all the rules it could be good. Be very careful trading after hours and pre-market. The evaluation account seems to only focus on bid and ask prices during after hours. Nothing in between. (I have screenshots). The actual trading software doesn’t always show the correct balances in the dashboard. Be very very careful with this. It’s a major flaw in my opinion. Means you need to leave the dashboard up all day. This is not how broker software works.

I was told once but chat support any profit would apply to the max loss but not profit targets. This seems to have been incorrect information.

Frustrating stop orders do not work outside of regular trading hours.

The software won’t let put in trades because of not enough margin, but will let you trade with more than your account size which can be confusing.

I also spent much of a day in a trade and didn’t find out my account was below the max loss until I closed the trade. Their software allowed me to waste most of a day. It was a trade that would have had me passing my evaluation. Normally the software shuts your trades down immediately. Seems to be some flaws.

This software is not for all traders, but can be good for some.

I would practice trading on a simulator according to their rules and become proficient before spending money on an evaluation account—advice after testing a lot of evaluation accounts.

Update: A simulator option does appear now but didn’t when I first registered.

Another thing to note - If you need true support in the USA/Canada their hours are 2am Eastern time until 11am eastern time. So this is why you will often loose a trading day when you really need support. The chat support is limited.

Another incident where the daily stop did not kick in and jumped to my max loss.

My experience comes from over $20,000 in evaluation accounts in the last couple weeks.

Update: Need to be extra careful with the software. There have been many times the chart stops the market depth chart goes blank but the profit and loss keeps moving. I have caught some video recordings of it happening during and after hours. It hurt my losses at times. Trading view, Bookmap and ThinkorSwim keep going but this has had issues.

Another thing to be aware of is do not make a second hub login regardless of anything. They cannot transfer accounts. I didn’t catch this until after the fact.

Also be very careful trading after hours with larger spreads. You will not get filled unless the bid or ask gets hit properly it’s not like the live market where you can get filled in between. If you are trading larger spreads this may be very harmful to your losses depending on some factors.

I had heard TTP was a one of a kind trading platform and heard nothing but great things about the trading (prop) firm. It has a great low financial barrier (excluding the PDT 25k entry in U.S. markets) to get started. No matter how many evals. you got through, once you have proven to understand the concept of trading and understand the rules I (you too) will earn any money invested. its a win win for everyone. Could not recommend TTP More!

I had a problem in my funded account I got an stock INDP that did a reverse split the 27 of june I had a limit order in 0.45$ did a 1 to 28 reverse split and the limit order got executed at 11$ with the shares I was planing to use for a 0.45$ stock and it almost blew my account.
They gave me back the balance I lost in that stock thank you soo much, 100 % I really recomend this prop, other props would probably not even answer or try to solve what happened.
If u start in an small account in other no PDT brokers just with the payment of platform, data and the risk associated with probably losing all ur money, trade the pool is a no brainer specially for new traders and they payed me my first payout with no problems at all.

Once again TTP is completely legit and very helpful. For anyone that is on the fence on whether TTP is real or not I can tell you they are real. I've gotten funded twice in 2 weeks. I lost the first account by stupidly trading on hotel wifi without triple checking it. It signed me out of the wifi because I had to re-authenticate and when I logged back on I was majorly upside down and couldn't recover it. It was on me completely. Their support team is very helpful as well.

Trade the Pool is the best etf and stock trading prop firm. They have almost any stock or etf that you would even want to trade. They have great customer service and most times, can answer all of your questions. They don’t have the best platform meaning, all the tools and indicators but they’re making improvements all the time. The market quotes are dead on so you won’t lose anything there. I can’t wait until they allow clients to connect with Trading View.

TTP is the way to go. They make it easy to reach your goals. Great customer support, no pdt rule, great risk management culture, super easy platform to use. I highly recommend it to everyone

Excellent experience these past few months
Since I was informed that I could trade without having my own capital, I began my experience with this great company. It provides capital so you can invest and, after the evaluation process, have an account with funds that allow you to generate income and withdraw it every 14 days.

There are many things to highlight:

I wasn't familiar with the TradethePool platform, the TraderEvolution version, but now I love it. It has everything you need for daily trading: good charts, studies, hotkeys, multiple screens and configurations, etc.
The user support and the platform are formidable. Very friendly people are always willing to help you and, if necessary, escalate issues so you have the answer or solution.
There's a lot of information and education on the website, YouTube, and Discord. The community is good and they provide support on the different fronts you face when starting to trade on a new platform and company. The help on Saturdays in the open sessions where I was able to express myself by talking about my experiences and questions is great. You trade alone, and being able to talk to colleagues is great!
Regarding the process, I went through several evaluations at the beginning, getting to know the platform, and then perhaps trying to move too quickly with the pressure of deadlines (this ended with the new Flex accounts without deadlines).
One aspect worth mentioning is that unlike other companies that require you to be fully booked, here you manage your time, and there are few requirements, such as only 10 or 20 trades in a month or more. I only trade for the first half hour and then during my lunch break. If I wanted, I could trade with less capital in the pre- or post-market.
Well, in short, it was an excellent experience, and I will continue with this company and platform, applying for an additional account or one with more capital.

Had an isuse with the demo account and
Raphel A took care of it and i am so very happy it is working again

So far so good. Very helpful team and this may be a great option for talented traders who want to get funding and trade like a pro.

What an incredible company and prop firm!
I have learned so much just by trading from them because of stringent and strict policies and rules that must be adhered to.
I have paid my tuition via several evaluation accounts and have been funded twice.
I will never give up.
I absolutely love these guys.
Thank you trade the pool for this incredible opportunity!!

Fills are horrible. Alot of slippage. Dark pool wicks will be filled at peak loss amount. Bypassing any stops filling at absolute max loss. Fees add up. Will stick to futures prop firms. Platform is bad as well.

Trade The Pool saved my life and my career! TTP rules helped shape my entire thought process on what "successful" trading is. I have been trading for 11 YEARS and now I finally understand why I couldn't remain consistently profitable. Two words: Risk Management. I had to learn how to lose properly before I could win properly. My main issue was Position Sizing. Thanks to the TTP rules I now know how to manage how much to risk per trade. Thank you guys!!!

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for one of the most important lessons I've experienced as a trader — one that unfolded on Monday, July 28th, 2025.

At 4:00 AM Eastern Time during premarket hours, I entered a short position on VAPE around $20. The previous Friday, the stock had closed at $8.88, and on Monday, it surged above $20 — which I believed was a temporary spike. Confident in my judgment, I opened a short.

But the stock kept surging. When it hit $35, my unrealized loss reached $4,100 — triggering the TTP system’s daily max loss rule, which force-closed my position. I was stunned at the time, but what happened next truly made me realize how serious the risk was.

After I was stopped out, VAPE continued to climb to $70, then hovered around that level for about eight minutes. Suddenly, it exploded again — this time shooting all the way up to $170.
Watching that happen after I had been forcibly exited made me realize just how devastating the loss could’ve been. Without the system intervention, I might have held on emotionally, only to face far greater damage.

Eventually, the price pulled back to around $60 — but that kind of retracement can be dangerously misleading. It would’ve made me feel like I had avoided the worst, only to be crushed again if another spike followed.
That forced exit at $35 didn’t just save me money — it saved me from disaster.

This incident has deepened my respect for the way TTP enforces discipline and risk management. Your rules might feel strict at times, but they serve a higher purpose — not just protecting capital, but shaping serious traders into professionals with structure, control, and long-term sustainability.

I stopped seeing rules as limitations, and started viewing them as a professional framework to protect traders from themselves.

TTP isn’t just a prop firm — it’s a real-world risk management system that teaches accountability, structure, and long-term survival.

I’m honestly grateful for this experience.
If this had been my personal real-money account without a daily max loss limit, I might have done what many traders do — keep holding and hope for a rebound.
But that usually leads to something much worse.
Now, I carry that lesson with me every day I trade.

Excellent customer service and quick feedback! I love their platform just finish my demo 14 days trial for sure I will try the next level!

I can't thank Devon enough. I have been having an issue with my properly downloading and opening the platform since I started my journey with Trade the Pool in January. No one was able to help me until TODAY. Devon solved the problem I've been having all year. I am so elated and grateful for his assistance. My day just got better! Thanks again!

If you're a stock trader like me who doesn't have enough capital to trade high-quality stocks, Trade The Pool is exactly what you need. It gives you access to trade over 10,000 U.S. stocks, which opens up a world of opportunity without needing a large personal account.

The platform is easy to use, even if you're just getting started with funded trading. They do have rules in place, but instead of limiting you, these rules actually help build discipline—something every successful trader needs. By sticking to them, you'll learn to master your strategy and trade with confidence.

For anyone serious about trading but limited by funding, I highly recommend giving Trade The Pool a try.

Great customer service, amazing platform. Thank you TTP

The customs service is really polite, respectful, and patient. Vincent is a great help and very supportive. Good companies have great customer service. About the firm, the rules are clear, and the people behind the project are nice, and they show up on the screen.
They encourage you to be the best version of yourself as a trader. I am not a funded trader, so my evaluation is not about the payouts.
