"In a world seemingly full of charlatans and shady characters, Sam Eder is the epitome of a decent human being. What MarketMates proposes is not only honest and transparent, but a very interesting offer distilled from decades of experience in the business. The idea is that trading is not a zero sum game, your individual success is MarketMates success too. Win/win. Visit the website to see for yourself. There are many opportunities for growth and a nice community. Getting in early has its perks and lots of savings associated. If you are a trader, or interested in becoming one, don’t miss the opportunity, and the coffee hours." This is on behalf of my husband, who doesn’t have a Google account but wants everybody to know.

I appreciate regular contact with this group of like-minded traders. It's great to be able to discuss things that I'd normally dwell on too long by myself, and avoid the doubt that often creeps into my trading. Members share what they're doing and in the process have helped me improve my own trading system. It's also refreshing to experience Sam's open and honest approach - there's really no trading topic that's off limits or misrepresented. Overall, it's been helpful and enjoyable, and I look forward to our chats each week.

What Sam Eder brings is that unique combination of an excellent Forex trader, coupled with experience of working for a major brokerage. His platform brings all that together with cost free trading and excellent trading signals. I did Sam’s course originally and read his excellent Consistent Trader book, with the emphasis on both taking the right trade with risk management. His partnership with 3CA is unique. Institutional trade ideas as part of the package. Can’t beat it !

Broker part Education is pure gold, the free available articles too, all are very, very usefull. In my opinion, one of the best educational materials you can find out there. Better than most paid ones that are selling over social media - structurized, and straight to the point - not beating around the bush. Funded trading program (Prop trading) Simple rules, and not the easiest one, which is positive sign. It means that they are here to give you the opportunitie to earn money. At the same point, they do send your orders out to the market (liquidity providers). And what I like the most - daily payouts. :D You earn your money, and get to withdraw it the same day. Not once per week, not bi-weekly or once a month, but DAILY.
Perfect platform to trade and extremely user-friendly. Prices are transparent and spot on. Great for beginners and experienced traders.

The MarketMates community is a group of people who bring incredible value, both individually and collectively. By fostering an environment of psychological safety, empathy, and support, it helps me gain clarity - not only on my ideas but also on how I feel and what I want. Members welcome and encourage sharing of views, feelings, challenges, successes, and failures. This is an invaluable asset to every successful trader - a group of like-minded, kind, and supportive people who genuinely want the best for you, rather than a bunch of competitive jerks who want to prove who's the biggest alfa in the room. There is no judgment, no evaluation - just a genuine will to help, encourage, and support you as you keep pushing toward that brightest star in your sky: your ideal self.

I've only been part of the MarketMates community for a short time, but it's already had a big impact on my trading journey. The support, insights, and resources available are top-notch and the community itself is genuinely welcoming and encouraging. Sam, the CEO, stands out as an incredible mentor, he's approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. His guidance has made complex concepts much easier to understand and his passion for helping others succeed really shows. If you're serious about improving your trading with the backing of a great team and leader, I highly recommend MarketMates.

Frequently asked questions.

Prop trading (short for proprietary trading) lets you trade with our capital. If you’re consistent and follow the rules, we’ll fund you, and you keep a share of the profits.

Start by choosing a challenge. If you meet the objectives and stick to the rules, you’ll progress to a funded account where you trade with our money and share in the profits.

Balance is your account value without open trades. Equity includes your open trades; it’s the real-time value of your account.

Balance-based challenges are more flexible and suitable for more trading styles.

We support Match-Trader with full mobile, desktop, and web access.

You can view the full terms and conditions here.

We’re on your side. There are no retail broker fees on your challenge account, and no conflict of interest. We only succeed when you do.

We are a licensed and regulated broker, so you’re trading in a secure and compliant environment.
