Our story

WHY
WE
EXIST

Most prop firms are built by marketers who have never placed a real trade. Verified Trader Capital was built differently. Built by a team of traders with 25+ years of financial markets experience across Forex, CFDs, Commodities, and Indexes. Every rule designed to be fair. Every payout made on time.

The founder

THE PERSON
BEHIND THE FIRM

Verified Trader Capital Inc.

A Wyoming Corporation

“We built the firm we wished existed when trading began 27+ years ago — one with fair rules, fast payouts, and a team that actually trades.”

Our team has been trading financial markets — Forex, CFDs, Commodities, Indexes, and CME futures — for over 27 years. We have traded through the dot-com crash, the 2008 financial crisis, COVID, the 2022 rate cycle, and every market environment in between. We have seen what real markets do to traders who are undercapitalized, underprepared, or working with a firm that treats them as a revenue source rather than a skill to develop.

Our leadership also brings extensive experience building and operating companies across multiple industries. We know how to build systems, manage risk, run a business that meets its obligations, and grow a team and brand from the ground up. That background is what makes Verified Trader Capital different from a weekend project launched by someone who read about prop trading online.

We started Verified Trader Capital because we watched too many talented traders get burned by firms with opaque rules, arbitrary payout denials, and founders who had never placed a single real trade. The prop firm industry had a credibility problem — and we decided to be part of the solution.

Every rule at this firm exists for a specific reason. The EOD trailing drawdown was chosen because that is how professional risk management actually works — you do not penalize traders for intraday variance they recover before close. The no-time-limit policy was chosen because a trader with a genuine edge should not be rushed by an arbitrary clock. The public payout data was chosen because transparency is not a marketing claim — it is a commitment you verify.

Our team trades live on Discord every Thursday morning during the New York open. Escalations are answered directly. Every support email is read. This is not a faceless operation — there is an accountable team behind every decision this firm makes.

Our journey
HOW WE GOT HERE

1999

The first trade

The founder places his first Forex trade. The market moves against him immediately. He does not quit. Over the next 5 years he develops a methodology, loses money, learns from it, and eventually develops a consistent edge across Forex pairs and commodity markets.

2008

Surviving the crisis

The 2008 financial crisis is the ultimate stress test for any trader's risk management. Trading through one of the most volatile periods in market history taught the founder that position sizing and drawdown management — not entry timing — is what separates professional traders from gamblers.

2020

COVID and the prop firm boom

COVID creates unprecedented volatility. The prop firm industry explodes in size. The founder watches dozens of new firms launch with aggressive marketing, opaque rules, and no real infrastructure. The failures begin almost immediately. The idea for a properly built firm starts to form.

2024

The industry's credibility crisis

Several high-profile prop firms collapse or halt payouts. Thousands of funded traders lose money they had earned. Frank Hoang saw traders with genuine skill unable to access capital from firms they trusted. The decision to build Verified Trader Capital became final.

2026

Verified Trader Capital launches

Built on PropAccount's infrastructure — the same platform powering leading US prop firms. Wyoming Corporation incorporated. Every rule written to be fair and commercially sustainable simultaneously. First traders funded. First payouts processed on time. The mission is live.

Core value 01

Fairness is not negotiable

Every rule at Verified Trader Capital was designed to be fair to skilled traders while remaining commercially sustainable for the firm. These two goals are not in conflict if you build the model honestly. We chose EOD drawdown, no time limits, and public payout data because those choices favor traders — and we believe the best traders will stay with a firm that treats them fairly.

Core value 02

Transparency is a commitment, not a claim

We publish every payout every month. We explain every rule in plain English. We document our dispute process and response time commitments publicly. We are not hiding behind a faceless brand or an anonymous offshore structure. Transparency is not marketing language here — it is verifiable.

Core value 03

Real oversight, not just visible

This firm is backed by real infrastructure and real professionals. Every trader gets a responsive team, clear escalation paths, and documented processes standing behind every decision. Accountability here isn't a personality—it's a system.

Core value 04

We pay because the model works

Verified Trader Capital does not need flash sales, complex subscription structures, or high pass-rate evaluation fees to survive. Our model is designed so that evaluation fee revenue sustainably funds the payout obligations we create. When we pay a trader, it is because the math works — not because we are burning investor capital to buy goodwill.

The difference
WHY WE'RE BUILT DIFFERENT

Most firms

Us

Built on real trading experience

Most prop firms are founded by marketers or tech entrepreneurs who have never placed a live trade. This firm was built differently — led by a team with decades of hands-on experience trading Forex, CFDs, Commodities, Indexes, and Futures professionally across every major market cycle. Our leadership isn't theoretical; it's forged in live markets, not built on marketing assumptions.

Intraday drawdown

EOD drawdown

Drawdown model

Most firms use intraday trailing drawdown — every new equity high raises your floor mid-session, punishing traders for variance they recover before close. We use End-of-Day trailing. Only your closing equity moves the floor. Intraday spikes never hurt you.

30-day clock

No time limit

Time pressure

Many firms set a 30 or 60-day evaluation deadline that forces traders to take risk they would not otherwise take. Artificial time pressure increases breach rates and therefore firm revenue. We removed it. Take as long as your strategy needs.

Private payout data

Public every month

Payout transparency

Most firms share selective testimonials and never publish total payout data. We publish every payout amount, every funded trader handle, and total monthly paid — publicly on our website and Discord. Every month. Without exception.

Team/structure focused

Named, accessible

Accountability

Several collapsed prop firms had anonymous or pseudonymous founders who disappeared when payouts stopped. This firm operates the opposite way: real, US-based leadership, real infrastructure, and a team that answers to traders every day. Accountability here isn't a name you can't verify; it's a structure that doesn't disappear.

Monthly fees

One-time fee

Fee structure

Subscription-based prop firms profit every month whether you are actively trading or not. Our model is simpler and more honest — one fee for the evaluation, one activation fee on passing, and that is it. We make money when traders make money. Not from recurring charges on dormant accounts.

Our mission
WHAT WE'RE HERE TO DO
“To give skilled traders access to the capital they deserve — through a firm built on fair rules, honest payouts, and a founder who is accountable for every dollar that passes through this business.”
 

Identify real skill

Our evaluation is designed to identify traders with a genuine, repeatable edge — not to generate revenue from failure rates. The rules are strict but fair, and explained in full before anyone spends a dollar.

Fund the skilled

Every trader who passes our evaluation gets a funded account backed by real capital. We pay what we owe, when we owe it, every time — without excuses.

Build long-term careers

Through our scaling plan, consistent traders grow their accounts and profit splits over time. Our goal is not one payout — it is building a long-term funded trading career for every trader who earns it.

Raise the industry standard

By building and operating transparently, we demonstrate what a trustworthy prop firm looks like. Every fair payout, every clear rule, every public data point raises the bar for the entire industry.

Our infrastructure
BUILT ON THE BEST INFRASTRUCTURE
We chose our technology partners deliberately — institutional-grade infrastructure built for serious CFD & Forex prop trading.

Platform infrastructure

Our evaluation platform, trader dashboard, KYC verification, payout processing, and risk management system are all powered by PropAccount — a FPFX Tech product. The same backend infrastructure used by leading US prop firms. Battle-tested, compliant, and reliable. Battle-tested, compliant, and reliable.

Match-Trade

Market data & execution

All evaluation and performance accounts connect to live Forex, CFD, Commodity, and Index markets through Match-Trade — an institutional-grade execution and data provider trusted by regulated brokers globally. Real prices, real spreads, real execution simulation. No synthetic data.

Our commitments
HOW WE EARN YOUR TRUST

Monthly payout data

Every payout amount, every funded trader handle, total monthly paid — published publicly on our website and Discord on the first of every month. Every month. No exceptions.

Rules in plain English

Every evaluation rule is documented in plain language with worked examples on our Rules page. No hidden clauses. No fine print that changes the meaning. What you read is what gets enforced.

Written dispute process

Every denied payout and every account suspension receives a written explanation within 2 business days citing the exact rule, data point, and timestamp. You have the right to escalate to the founder personally.

Founder trades live weekly

Every Thursday the founder trades Forex pairs and Indexes live on Discord — open audio, open screen, real positions. This is not a promotional event. It is a weekly commitment to show our community what disciplined trading looks like.

The community
MORE THAN A PROP FIRM

Verified Trader Capital is not just a place to get funded. It is a trading community built around the idea that serious traders deserve serious resources — a founder who trades, live market analysis, a support system that actually responds, and peers who are on the same journey.

Our Discord community is free to join for any trader — you do not need to buy a challenge to access the daily premarket notes, the Thursday live sessions, or the trader discussions. We built it this way because we believe the best traders choose a prop firm based on genuine trust built over time — not a one-time flash sale.

Thursday live trading

Founder trades Forex pairs and major Indexes live every Thursday morning. Full audio, real positions, Q&A welcome.

Daily premarket

Key levels on major Forex pairs, Gold, and Indexes posted by 8:30 AM ET every trading day. Free for all Discord members.

Payout proof channel

Real traders posting real payout screenshots. The most honest page in prop trading.

Rules Q&A

Ask any question about the evaluation rules before you trade. Every question gets a straight answer.

Legal & structure
A REAL US COMPANY
We are not an offshore operation, a shell company, or an anonymous brand. Verified Trader Capital is a properly incorporated, US-based business.

Wyoming Corporation

Verified Trader Capital Inc is a Wyoming Limited Liability Company registered to do business in the United States. Wyoming was chosen for its strong business-friendly LLC laws, asset protection provisions, and established legal framework for financial services businesses.

Service model — not a broker

Verified Trader Capital provides a skill-assessment service — not brokerage, investment management, or financial advice. Evaluation accounts are simulated. Payouts are discretionary cash awards from company operating capital. This is the industry-standard legal structure for evaluation-based prop firms — reviewed by legal counsel.

California operations

The firm is managed from California, where the founder is based. Verified Trader Capital is registered as a foreign LLC in California in compliance with state requirements. Operations are fully US-based — no offshore entities, no anonymous ownership.
