FunderPro Partners with Acuity AI to Revolutionize Prop Trading
Proprietary trading firm FunderPro has taken a significant step forward by integrating Acuity Trading’s AI-powered Research Terminal into its operations. This strategic partnership positions FunderPro at the forefront of the trading industry by equipping its funded traders with cutting-edge tools for market analysis, real-time insights, and sentiment-driven decision-making.
Empowering Traders with AI Tools
As the first proprietary trading firm to adopt Acuity Trading’s advanced AI Research Terminal, FunderPro aims to provide its traders with unparalleled resources to navigate today’s fast-paced and volatile markets. This innovative platform combines artificial intelligence with expert analysis, helping traders identify opportunities and craft data-driven strategies.
Gary Mullen, CEO of FunderPro, underscored the importance of providing traders with state-of-the-art tools. “Traders should have access to the best tools and insights in the market.” said Mullen. “Acuity Trading’s Research Terminal allows our traders to gain critical insights and stay ahead of market trends, which is essential in today’s fast-paced trading environment.”
A Partnership Driving Innovation in Prop Trading
The partnership between FunderPro and Acuity Trading signals a new chapter in the evolution of proprietary trading. Andrew Lane, CEO of Acuity Trading, emphasized the transformative potential of their technology:
“We are thrilled to partner with FunderPro, a firm that is reshaping the proprietary trading space. By providing their traders with access to Acuity’s advanced research tools, we are enabling them to make smarter and more strategic trading decisions.”
Acuity Trading’s tools have been widely adopted across FX and CFD brokerages, but FunderPro’s adoption marks the first instance of these capabilities being applied within the prop trading sector. This reflects a broader trend of integrating AI into trading workflows to enhance decision-making and performance.
FunderPro’s Strategic Growth
FunderPro, initially launched as part of TradeLocker’s expansion into the proprietary trading domain, has rapidly established itself as a major player. Over the past year, the firm has focused on bolstering its offerings and attracting top talent. In September, FunderPro welcomed Antreas Pilavakis, formerly of The Trading Pit, as Operations Manager, further solidifying its operational capabilities.
The integration of the cTrader platform has also broadened FunderPro’s appeal by providing traders with diverse trading options. Additionally, the firm recently announced plans to introduce futures services, with a dedicated waitlist and platform at funderprofutures.com, signaling a commitment to offering comprehensive trading solutions.
The Industry’s Shift Toward AI-Powered Trading
While FunderPro is leading the charge in prop trading, similar AI-driven tools are gaining traction in the broader financial markets. Firms like OneRoyal and Zarvista (formerly ZaraFX) have adopted Acuity’s AnalysisIQ solution, highlighting the growing demand for advanced analytics in trading.
This trend underscores the increasing reliance on artificial intelligence to provide actionable insights, streamline analysis, and improve outcomes in a competitive market landscape. By integrating Acuity’s Research Terminal, FunderPro is setting a precedent for the industry, demonstrating how technology can enhance both trader performance and overall firm competitiveness.
