MyFundedFutures Sets New Compliance Standard in Prop Trading with ACA Partnership
MyFundedFutures Doubles Down on Governance, Launches Industry-Leading Compliance Framework
In an industry often criticized for its lack of oversight, MyFundedFutures (MFFU) is taking a contrarian stance—making compliance a cornerstone, not an afterthought. Today, the futures evaluation and proprietary trading platform announced the full implementation of ACA Group’s ComplianceAlpha®, an institutional-grade compliance suite that puts MFFU at the forefront of governance, risk, and transparency in the prop trading space.
It’s a bold move for a sector where many firms still operate with minimal internal controls. With this integration, MFFU is signaling to traders—and regulators—that it’s not just about fast accounts and leaderboard wins, but building trust through discipline and infrastructure.
Why This Matters: Prop Trading Gets a Professional Makeover
While retail prop firms have surged in popularity—offering low-barrier access to capital—regulatory standards haven’t always kept up. MyFundedFutures’ partnership with ACA, a firm known for its deep regulatory expertise in traditional finance, represents a seismic shift. It shows that prop trading can (and should) operate with the same rigor as broker-dealers, hedge funds, or clearing firms.
“Traders suffer when firms treat compliance as an afterthought,” said Philip Fried, MFFU’s Regulatory Compliance Manager. “We treat governance as a foundational pillar.”
And that’s not lip service. The rollout of ComplianceAlpha spans both MyFundedFutures, which runs trader evaluations, and Nortex Capital, its live prop trading arm—ensuring consistency from demo to live execution.
What Traders Get: A Safer, Smarter Trading Ecosystem
With ACA’s technology now embedded across operations, MFFU is offering traders a compliance-first experience, including:
- Market Abuse Surveillance (MAS) customized for futures and prop trading
- Real-time e-communications monitoring of Discord, email, and internal chats
- Centralized policy and document governance, with trader access to disclosures and attestations
- 15 custom-built training modules in compliance, KYC/AML, social media, and dispute resolution
- Live dashboards and audit logs for regulatory risk monitoring and enforcement readiness
This means traders aren’t just funded—they’re protected.
“Traders want performance, but they also need to know their firm won’t implode from regulatory neglect,” Fried added. “We’re giving them a platform that’s both powerful and professionally run.”
Voluntary Oversight in a Largely Unregulated Sector
What sets MFFU apart is its voluntary adoption of governance protocols typically reserved for SEC-, CFTC-, or NFA-regulated institutions. While most prop firms skate by under the radar, MyFundedFutures is building an operation that anticipates scrutiny and meets it head-on.
It’s a move that could resonate well with serious traders and institutional partners alike—especially as questions around the sustainability and integrity of many fast-growing prop firms continue to mount.
The Bigger Picture: Raising the Bar for the Industry
MFFU’s compliance-first positioning may do more than attract cautious traders—it could reshape the expectations of the entire prop trading sector. As more platforms chase growth at the expense of process, MFFU is proving that speed and scale don’t have to come at the cost of integrity.
