The mystery shopper assessment is general. There were no purchases of challenges, trading on a demo account, trading on simulation accounts, or withdrawal of funds. We recommend paying attention to those companies where the mystery shopper has performed a more in-depth check of the propcompany.
General advantages Nordic Funder
- Good selection of assets, including cryptocurrencies and indices.
- No time restrictions for completing the challenge.
- Convenient Personal Account with progress tracking and trade history.
General disadvantages Nordic Funder
- MT4 (MT5) platform support has been discontinued.
- Floating Trailing Loss is used, which may close the account even after temporary drawdowns following profits.
- There is a minimum trading days requirement to successfully complete the test.
- Few online reviews — reputation is harder to assess.
Trader Support and Feedback
- Declared communication channels:
-
Email • An email was sent asking: “Is there a limit on the total number of open orders at a time?” No reply was received. Considering this is the only support channel, it is at least concerning and a significant disadvantage for the company.
Online chat • Not available.
Knowledge base • Search works correctly.
- Claims about support:
-
No online chat is available; the only contact listed is email. As they say, “write letters.” No other contact info is on the site, except for a Discord account link. However, in the “Support” section, the company states: “Our team of experts is at your service. We do not outsource support. Contact those who understand the product.”
- Claims to the knowledge base:
-
None
- Alternative support channels:
-
The company has official social media pages on Discord, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram.
Restrictions, fines, blocking
- Blocking for account inactivity:
-
Nordic Funder does not automatically block inactive accounts. However, to successfully complete the test and receive funding, active trading is required. This includes opening, closing, or modifying trades within 30 days. If no trades are made during this period, the account may be considered inactive.
- Single IP rule:
-
Nordic Funder’s rules do not explicitly require the use of a single IP address.
- Overnight position:
-
Allowed – positions can be held overnight. Weekend holding is not allowed; all trades must be closed by 21:30 GMT on Friday. Exceptions are made only for cryptocurrencies and with an additional fee.
- Copy trading:
-
Allowed only between the trader’s own accounts.
- Use of VPN and VPS:
-
There is no explicit ban on VPN usage, but frequent IP changes may trigger security checks and account restrictions. VPS use is allowed, provided it has a static IP and is used by a single trader — the account owner. Shared VPS use is prohibited.
- Prohibited trading practices:
-
- Exploiting quote or platform errors and/or delays.
- Using non-public or insider information.
- Front-running – opening trades using information about other traders’ orders to profit before other traders.
- Trading that may harm the company’s relationship with the broker or lead to trade cancellations.
- Actions creating regulatory risks for the broker.
- Using third-party strategies, ready-made solutions, or strategies sold for challenge completion.
- Using one strategy for the evaluation account and another for the funded account (at company discretion).
- Arbitrage attempts between the evaluation account and other Nordic Funder accounts or third-party accounts.
- Opening positions within 3 minutes before or after a news event — violation may lead to trade closure, removal of profit/loss, leverage reduction, or disqualification.
- Claims to blocking conditions:
-
None.
Convenience of the personal account
- Informativeness of the personal account:
-
The Personal Account provides all necessary information when selecting a challenge, including:
- Profit sharing
- Profit target
- Overall maximum drawdown
- Maximum daily drawdown
- Correspondence of information on the site with the Personal Account:
-
Matches
- Navigation and usability:
-
The Nordic Funder Personal Account is user-friendly. The “Challenges” section allows easy program selection using filters by account size, challenge stages, and type. The account also provides progress tracking for the current challenge (profit, drawdowns, open trades), detailed trade history, account management (password changes, notifications, personal data), financial reports (payouts, fees, account calculations), support and FAQ via email or Discord, and the ability to save favorite challenges for quick access. Real-time progress tracking ensures full control over trading and participation in Nordic Funder programs.
Negative Reviews Online
There are few online reviews of Nordic Funder. One negative comment claimed the company has “the dumbest trading rule” — mandatory trading of at least two instruments with roughly equal lot sizes. The complaint stated that even profitable trading with one instrument could result in account closure. High prices (three times higher than most prop firms) and allegedly fake payout certificates were also criticized.
We include this comment to show that not every negative review reflects the company’s actual performance. This is a single trader’s opinion and does not correspond to reality. Nordic Funder has no such rule requiring trading at least two instruments; otherwise, dozens of traders would be affected. There is no such requirement anywhere in Nordic Funder’s regulations, and the company gains nothing from such a rule.
Second, the trader criticizes Nordic Funder’s high prices. While they are not the lowest in the industry, they are definitely not three times the market average. $42 for a $5k challenge is slightly above market average; a $10k challenge costs $85. Yes, prices are relatively high, and other offers may be more attractive, but clearly not three times higher than competitors.
Opinion of the Mystery Shopper
Nordic Funder looks attractive at first glance: capital scaling, various challenge types, good selection of instruments. However, in practice, the funding programs are strict. Floating Trailing Loss, tight loss limits, and minimum trading days strongly limit trader freedom. Weekend position holding is available only for cryptocurrencies and at an extra fee. Additionally, there is no live chat — the company provides email and Discord for support communication.
Is the company suitable to be recommended for cooperation?
At your discretion: Nordic Funder may interest experienced traders who are willing to strictly follow the rules, but I would recommend beginners look for other, more client-friendly options.
Nordic Funder has a clean setup and the dashboard is pretty user-friendly. I liked that they allow weekend holds and news trading, which gives some flexibility. But the challenge rules are tighter than they seem – especially the daily drawdown, which resets oddly and caught me off guard more than once. Execution is decent, but I noticed slight slippage during high volatility. Support is polite but slow to respond, and not always helpful when it comes to technical issues. Decent firm overall, but not as forgiving as some of the bigger names in the space.
