FPT Scale is FPT's launch product and the only product you can buy today. It is a one-step simulated evaluation followed by a funded stage.
FPT Direct is a planned straight-to-funded offer. It is not purchasable. It has no published price, no published ruleset and no announced availability date, and nothing on this site sells it or takes a reservation for it.
The Difference in One Table
| FPT Scale | FPT Direct | |
|---|---|---|
| Available now | Yes | No — coming later |
| Shape | One-step evaluation, then funded | Straight to funded |
| Account sizes | $25k, $50k, $100k | Not published |
| Price | $69 / $99 / $159 Founder one-time | Not published |
| Rules | Published and versioned | Not published |
| Availability date | Launching after the Founder window | Not announced |
Every "not published" above means exactly that. FPT will publish FPT Direct's sizes, pricing and complete ruleset before it goes on sale — not after.
What "Straight to Funded" Means
The design intent of FPT Direct is to skip the evaluation stage: instead of proving out on an evaluation account first, you would begin at the funded stage.
That is the concept, not a commitment about parameters. Do not assume FPT Direct will carry FPT Scale's profit split, consistency rule, position limits, payout caps or scaling ladder. Those are FPT Scale's numbers, published under FPT Scale's rules articles, and they apply to FPT Scale accounts.
Why FPT Is Launching With Scale
FPT Scale carries the entire published ruleset — evaluation objectives, EOD trailing drawdown, the 40% consistency rule, position limits against market volume, payout cycles and scaling — and those rules are what FPT is launching on. Building FPT Direct on top of a proven, versioned rule set is more sensible than shipping two products with one ruleset between them.
What You Should Do Today
If you want an FPT account now, the decision is between the three FPT Scale sizes, not between Scale and Direct. Start with Choosing an Account Size.
Buying FPT Scale during the Founder window locks your Founder price for that purchase. That lock covers that account subscription and its normal renewals only. It does not automatically extend to additional accounts, resets, upgrades, FPT Direct, new products, taxes, processor-imposed charges or other externally imposed fees. See How the Monthly Founder Price Lock Works.
In other words, an FPT Scale purchase today is not a discount on FPT Direct later, and it is not a place in a queue for it.
Waiting for FPT Direct
There is no waiting list, deposit, reservation or pre-order for FPT Direct, and FPT does not take money for a product it has not published terms for. When FPT Direct is ready, its pricing, sizes, rules and availability will be announced on the site and documented here.
If someone offers you early access, a pre-sale slot or a discount code for FPT Direct, it did not come from FPT. Please forward it to support@fundedpredictiontrader.com.
What Does Not Change Between Products
Some things are true of FPT itself rather than of any one product, and they will be true of FPT Direct too:
- FPT accounts are simulated. FPT does not route orders to an exchange, hold customer funds or take deposits.
- Payouts, where a product offers them, are real and funded by FPT from company funds.
- FPT is not a brokerage, exchange, custodian, adviser, bank or trading venue, and is not affiliated with Polymarket or Kalshi unless expressly stated.
- Every product's operational rules are published, versioned and incorporated where they form part of a purchase. The current set is indexed at the FPT Scale Rules Index.
