Has anyone had any experience with Fully Funded Trader a funding company. It is run by a number of ex Larry Levin of Trading Advantage traders.
Any reports would be appreciated.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
There is a complaint about FullyFundedTrader on the ripoffreport.com website. I have no knowledge of this matter or information regarding the validity of the complaint.
FFT has not posted a rebuttal yet. However DO note that there are very serious questions about the integrity of Ripoff Report.

Full disclosure: I work for Trading Advantage (but not as a trader or in sales), who has been on Ripoff Report.
That being said, Ripoff Report is one of the larger scams running on the internet. People can post complaints on the site, and the organization can post a rebuttal comment. For most situations, this serves the intended purpose... such as: complaint is made, organization either rebutts the complaint or deals with the complaint directly to resolve the issue. The problem is, anyone can post any complaint about the organization, and you can pay something like $2500 for Ripoff Report to "Investigate", but even if they find in favor of the organization, they will NOT take the complaint down... which kinda invalidates the whole point of having them investigate. So, at the end of the day, people can post any kind of baseless complaint, that may be valid or not, and it's there forever.
Back to the OP... I don't really know anything about Fully Funded Trader... the guys running the show there left before my employment started.
Trading Advantage DOES have a prop trading program though, and it's legit. I'm not here to sell, so that's all I'll say on the matter... but if you want info, check out their web page.
I found this firm earlier today and remembered seeing this thread...just thought I'd share. I don't anything about FFT but am very familiar with Topstep and this model seems like it would cost you a lot less than both...barring any unknowns.
I don't know exactly what you mean by "legit" but the fact is, Trading Advantage is not what is traditionally known as a prop firm because they require you to pay for education (with a very hard sell) with no guarantee of being funded at all. They can call themselves whatever they like but in my mind and I'm that's no where close to the definition of a prop firm.
Fair enough, however I was responding to the OP and subsequent posts. My understanding of Fully Funded Trader was that they offered the same type of program, as well as companies like TopStep Trader. My response was in that context.
Thanks
EDIT: What I meant by "legit" is that yes they do fund traders, which was in response to people looking for ways to get funded. I would also consider TopStep legit as previously mentioned, because they are well respected on here, and also actually fund traders, as opposed to just taking people's money.
ANOTHER EDIT: Also, nobody guarantees you funding, even the companies that would satisfy your definition of a "prop firm".
