Cons
- Marketing promises 100 percent profit share, but its own table lists an 80/20 split
- A July 2026 Trustpilot review describes a payout timeline pushed back three times
- That same payout was then rejected for one sided betting despite mixed trade data
- The firm's public reply to that complaint called the trader a menace to staff
- All trading happens on demo accounts only, confirmed in its own site disclaimer
Direct Funded Trader is run by GFT GROUP LLC, based at the Meydan Hotel business center in Dubai. Founded in February 2023 by CEO Arthur Kaziu, it sells trading challenges that lead to a funded account, all on demo conditions by its own published disclaimer.
Marketing banners across the site promise up to 100 percent profit share, yet the funded account table on the same page lists an 80/20 split for the trader. Challenges range from a 2 phase Evaluation to a 1 phase Fast Funding option, with scaling toward 1 million dollars, a 3 dollar cash reward per lot, and a free retry if a trader avoids loss violations.
A July 2026 Trustpilot review describes a 418.95 dollar payout pushed back three times, from 2 days to 9 business days, then rejected for one sided betting despite trade data the trader says shows both buy and sell positions. The firm's public reply called the trader a menace to staff rather than address the account data, a tone that raises its own concerns.
