FundYourFX is not a broker and does not work with a traditional broker in the conventional sense. We partner exclusively with MatchTrader — a professional trading technology provider — to power our trading infrastructure. Here’s a clear explanation of how the relationship works and what it means for you as a trader.
Who Is MatchTrader?
MatchTrader is a leading trading technology company that provides the platform infrastructure and trade execution environment used across FundYourFX accounts. They are a technology provider, not a broker — meaning they supply the software, execution engine, and connectivity, but they do not hold funds, offer investment advice, or act as a financial intermediary.
Think of MatchTrader as the engine under the hood — they power the trading environment that you interact with through the FundYourFX platform.
What About Liquidity and Trade Execution?
FundYourFX accounts operate in a simulated virtual environment that mirrors real market conditions. All pricing, spreads, and execution are based on real institutional market data provided through MatchTrader’s infrastructure. This means:
- Real market pricing — Live prices sourced from institutional liquidity providers
- Raw spreads from zero — No broker mark-up on spreads
- Consistent execution — Orders processed against real market conditions
- Transparent conditions — What you see in the platform reflects actual market spreads and movements
Does FundYourFX Hold My Funds?
No. FundYourFX does not hold trading capital on your behalf. Traders do not deposit funds for trading purposes — the only payment is the program entry fee, which covers account setup and platform access. All trading is conducted in a simulated virtual environment.
Profit payouts are made directly by FundYourFX from company funds — not from a brokerage account. This is why regulation as a financial institution is not required. See our Is FundYourFX Regulated? article for more detail.
Is MatchTrader Regulated?
MatchTrader operates as a technology infrastructure provider and is not subject to financial services regulation in the same way brokers are. However, FundYourFX works exclusively with regulated and trusted institutional liquidity providers to ensure the integrity of pricing data and execution conditions across all funded accounts.
