Market Data 
The London Prop Trading Expo returns to Old Billingsgate on 23rd–24th October 2026, bringing together prop firms, traders, brokers, technology providers and other businesses shaping the funded-trading industry.
Following an event attended by more than 2,000 traders, this year’s Expo will provide two full days of exhibitions, education, industry discussions, networking and live trading activities.
The prop firms attending reflect how much the sector has evolved. Traditional evaluations now sit alongside instant funding, futures programmes, broker-backed firms and competitive trading formats. This gives traders more choice, but also more information to consider when deciding which programme suits their approach.
Established Names and Emerging Firms
Leading the line-up is Headline Sponsor Finotive Funding, part of the wider Finotive One group.
Finotive offers evaluation and instant-funding routes, with its trading platforms powered by Finotive Markets. The company reports that it has paid more than $20 million to traders and has developed a broader ecosystem covering funding, brokerage infrastructure, payments and trading technology.
Diamond Sponsor FXIFY will also return after supporting the 2025 London Expo. The firm provides a range of routes to funding across CFD and futures trading, allowing attendees to explore different evaluation structures and account options directly with its team.
Several newer and rapidly developing businesses will join them.
Athena Edge, founded by trader and entrepreneur Alex Mustatea, positions itself around access to capital, education, trading tools and data-led support. Best Prop 4 U presents itself as a trader-led firm focused on transparent rules, accessible support and programmes covering several markets.
Goat Funded Trader combines evaluation and instant-funding options with an internally developed dashboard, mobile access and performance analytics. Silver Sponsor OneFunded offers several challenge formats, no fixed completion deadlines and virtual account sizes of up to $200,000.
Together, these firms represent a generation of prop businesses competing through technology, education, community and the wider trader experience.
Broker-Backed Firms Bring Infrastructure into Focus
Another prominent theme is the growing presence of firms connected with established brokers or wider financial-services groups.
Moneta Funded is backed by Moneta Markets and highlights infrastructure including Equinix-hosted servers, access to deep liquidity and multiple global trade servers. It currently supports MT5 and Match-Trader.
IC Funded is associated with the IC Markets group and operates trading evaluations in a simulated environment using virtual funds. Platinum Sponsor Hantec Trader also extends the established Hantec name into the funded-trader sector.
Finotive Funding and FXIFY similarly highlight their relationships with broker infrastructure as important parts of their propositions.
Each relationship is structured differently, and broker backing should not be treated as a guarantee on its own. However, its growing prominence shows that traders are looking beyond headline account sizes. Platforms, execution, risk management, operational experience and the systems supporting a programme are becoming increasingly important.
The Expo will allow attendees to ask these firms how their infrastructure works and what difference it makes in practice.
Futures Firms Join the London Line-Up
The rapid growth of futures prop trading will also be represented at Old Billingsgate.
Gold Sponsor Tradeify has emerged as one of the fastest-growing firms in the futures-funded trading market. The company says it now serves more than 80,000 traders and has paid out over $200 million, demonstrating how quickly the brand has expanded.
Tradeify offers evaluation and immediately funded routes, alongside access to substantial simulated trading capital and frequent payouts on selected plans. Futures traders attending the Expo can speak with its team about account structures, trailing drawdown, consistency requirements, platforms, market data and progression towards live funded accounts.
FXIFY has also expanded into futures, while For Traders provides futures alongside its forex and crypto programmes. Their presence demonstrates how the boundaries between previously separate areas of funded trading are beginning to narrow.
For Traders Brings Live Competition to London
For Traders will play a particularly visible role as both an exhibiting prop firm and the host of the London Trading Tournament.
Its wider platform combines funded-account programmes with trading competitions in which participants use virtual capital and compete through live leaderboards. This format will now be brought into the physical Expo environment, giving attendees the opportunity to compete and follow trader performance live inside Old Billingsgate.
Further details about the tournament format, competitions and prizes will be announced separately.
Meet the Industry Face to Face
The event will also feature companies providing the technology and services behind the firms, including PropAccount, BlackArrow by Nelogica, WealthCharts, Worthy Payments and Tickblaze.
Their inclusion highlights how platforms, dashboards, execution tools, payments and risk systems all contribute to the trader experience.
Websites can display account sizes, targets and trading conditions, but they do not always reveal the people or infrastructure behind a firm. The London Prop Trading Expo gives traders the opportunity to investigate different models, ask direct questions and meet the teams responsible for the programmes they use.
For anyone trying to understand where funded trading is heading—or which type of firm suits their approach—the Expo provides an opportunity to move beyond online claims and meet the industry face to face.
