Ultimate Traders Review

About Ultimate Traders

Ultimate Traders Evaluation Ltd, a UK‑based proprietary trading firm registered under number 14665391 at Summit House, 170 Finchley Road, London, NW3 6BP, United Kingdom, offers funded trading accounts via a structured evaluation system through its website at ultimatetraders.com. It operates using the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform and permits automated trading (EAs), hedging, and scalping strategies, with maximum leverage of 1:100 across both evaluation and funded stages. Traders can select challenge account sizes up to $200,000, and upon successful completion, retain up to 90% of their gains; a minimum gain‑split of 80% applies if an add‑on is not purchased. Drawdown rules vary by challenge type: the Classic Challenge limits drawdown at 12% overall and 6% daily for the first phase, and similar limits for verification, while the Speedy Challenge allows 6% overall and 4% daily drawdown. Fee levels are tiered by account size, with refundable fees ranging—for example—from $49 for a $5,000 Classic account to $899 for $200,000; Speedy Challenge fees range, for instance, from $79 to $1,299. The registration fee is refunded as part of the first gains withdrawal. Maximum open positions are capped at 200, with 2,000 pending orders allowed. Withdrawals of gains are permissible every 15 days, subject to a $100 minimum and at least three trading days per period.

Ultimate Traders does not hold any license or authorization from recognized financial regulators such as the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ASIC (Australia), CySEC (Cyprus), or US regulators (SEC, CFTC, FINRA). Furthermore, the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority (NZ FMA) issued a warning identifying Ultimate Traders as part of a fake celebrity investment scam on May 13, 2024. The platform is also flagged by multiple independent risk‑assessment services for lack of transparency, low trust scores, and high scam risk. ,
