Our Story

We Built the Firm
We Always Wished Existed

Most prop firms are designed around one goal — keeping your evaluation fee. We started FundYourEdge because we believed there was a better way — a firm that actually wants its traders to win.

Our Mission

“Give every skilled trader access to the capital they need to trade at their full potential — without risking money they can't afford to lose.”

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Every decision we make traces back to these principles. They aren't aspirations — they're operational commitments.

Radical Transparency

No hidden fees. No gotcha rules. Every evaluation criteria, every payout policy, every number — published and plain. You deserve to know exactly what you're stepping into.

Designed to Fund, Not Fail

Our evaluation is a demonstration of skill — not a trap. We profit when traders profit. That alignment changes everything about how we design our rules.

Your Edge, Amplified

You bring the skill. We bring the capital. Whether you're working with $25K or $300K, our infrastructure is built to let your trading ability scale without limits.

Time Is on Your Side

Unlimited trading days. No daily loss ceiling. You set the pace. Real traders don't perform on arbitrary schedules — and we don't ask them to.

Built for Every Market

CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX — micro and standard contracts across every major futures exchange. Trade what you know, where you know it.

Real Payouts, Real Partnership

Every payout is processed through Rise, a trusted and regulated payment platform. Our traders have received hundreds of thousands in real payouts — on time, every time.

FundYourEdge

Gary Matos is a U.S. Air Force veteran, seasoned trader, and Founder & CEO of FundYourEdge. Forged in the military, his leadership is grounded in discipline, decisive judgment, and performance under pressure. With over a decade of live market experience, he understands both the technical precision and psychological resilience required for consistent trading success.

After witnessing firsthand how much of the prop firm industry operates behind the curtain, through restrictive rules and misaligned incentives, Gary founded FundYourEdge on a single principle — skilled traders deserve access to real capital on fair, transparent terms.

Under his leadership, FundYourEdge has grown into one of the most trader-aligned firms in the futures space, backed by trusted partners like Ironbeam, Rithmic and a global community of funded traders who prove that discipline is the true edge.

“True edge is earned through discipline, refined through experience, and sustained through resolve.”
