CMC Markets Funded has set 1 October 2026 as the public launch date for its simulated trading evaluation programme, replacing its previous “coming soon” page with a countdown and an early-access form.

Industry site Tradeinformer recently reported that a marketing company working with the broker confirmed the London-listed firm is currently in the process of setting up the product.

Legal documents published on the CMC Markets Funded website identify Dubai-based True North Tech L.L.C-FZ as the operator. According to the terms, the company runs the platform under a written Marketing Services Agreement with CMC Markets Singapore Pte. Ltd.

The documents name CMC Singapore as the programme’s “exclusive financial services and online brokerage partner,” providing marketing, brand, data, governance, and other operational support.

However, the terms draw a legal distinction between the two companies. True North Tech is the customer’s contractual counterparty and is responsible for fees, participant accounts, rewards, and refunds.

True North Tech is not owned or controlled by CMC Markets Singapore, CMC Markets plc, or any other CMC Group entity. CMC Singapore is consequently not the operator or guarantor of the programme, and its regulatory status does not extend to CMC Markets Funded.

The platform’s trading infrastructure also appears to involve Match-Trader. A DNS record for trade.cmcmarketsfunded.com directs the subdomain to mtr-cmcmarkets.match-trade.com, while the newly published terms specifically refer to MatchTrader oversight, transaction histories, and risk-monitoring tools. However, the documents do not identify the contracting entity or confirm whether a commercial agreement is currently in place.

Signs of Pre-Launch Activity

Before the launch date was disclosed, additional signs of pre-launch activity had emerged through the project’s Trustpilot profile. It contains a verified review describing the purchase of a $10,000 challenge and access to a trading dashboard.

CMC Markets Funded responded to the review on the day it was published. The review predates the announced public opening, making its timing consistent with limited or invited testing.

The disclosed arrangement is consistent with a CMC Singapore job advertisement for a Payment Network and Solutions Executive. The listing states the employee would support the integration and day-to-day operation of payment services within CMC Markets Funded, including deposits, payouts, refunds, and settlements.

The early-access page now allows prospective users to request an access code before the public opening. It describes CMC Markets Funded as a simulated trading evaluation programme: participants do not trade live company capital, and any payouts are contractual rewards based on simulated performance.

Finance Magnates contacted CMC Markets and Match-Trader for comment but had not received a response at the time of publication.
