Why are we expanding into futures

At our Company, our mission has always been to build a comprehensive ecosystem for traders. We started by entering the CFD space with Goat Funded Trader, providing opportunities for traders to access a wide range of markets. From there, we developed MTJ software—an advanced journaling and backtesting tool designed for both CFD and Futures traders, enabling them to refine their strategies with precision.

To strengthen our foundation and expand our capabilities, we launched our Tech company, which has quickly become a trusted partner for over 30 Prop Firms and was recently a proud sponsor of the Dubai Forex Expo. This venture has allowed us to enhance stability and maintain greater control across our operations, offering top-tier tech services within the trading community.

How do Futures work?
