Funding Talent was a prop trading firm in Halifax, Nova Scotia, built around CEO Jessica Ghaney and her ForexTips101 following. At its peak in 2021, it claimed more than 13,000 traders and profit splits of 80 to 90 percent.
In March 2021, the Nova Scotia Securities Commission ordered the ForexTips101 entity behind Funding Talent to stop for unregistered trading. Ghaney then swore in an affidavit that no trader funds ever touched real markets, calling the capital simulated money. Through mid 2021 the firm kept changing rules, cut payout frequency, and dropped assets like crypto right after big price moves.
In September 2021, Funding Talent cancelled its Challenge accounts and forced traders into a new Edge program, cutting profit splits to just 25 percent. The backlash was immediate, and the firm shut down completely by November 2021. Its homepage still just thanks traders for the memories, and no trading service operates under this name today.
