In response to the unavailability of its previous trading platform, proprietary trading firm SuperFunded has announced its decision to fully migrate to TradeLocker. This strategic move, informed by the lessons learned from the platform disruptions of 2024, aims to ensure greater stability and scalability for its global user base.
SuperFunded, a firm already trusted by a large community of traders, selected TradeLocker as the optimal solution to eliminate the risks of single-vendor dependency and drive further service evolution. By concurrently revamping its operational structure and workflows, the firm successfully completed the account transition for all users in approximately one month after the initial disruption.
Moving forward, SuperFunded will leverage the new platform to enhance the user experience (UX), improve the visibility of risk management, and provide even more robust support for proprietary traders.

Background: The 2024 Platform Disruption and the Risks of Single-Vendor Dependency
In mid-2024, SuperFunded experienced platform-related outages that forced some clients to migrate platforms. While the firm fortunately faced no delays in processing trader payouts, the incident led to a decline in client confidence and an increased workload for the operations team. It served as a stark reminder of the significant risks associated with relying entirely on a single service provider.
This experience prompted SuperFunded to seek a new platform that met two key criteria:
- Resilience: The ability to ensure uninterrupted trading for users, even if similar issues were to recur.
- Flexibility: The capacity to integrate various add-ons and proprietary tools in the future.
After extensive research and testing, TradeLocker was chosen as the definitive solution.
Why TradeLocker?
TradeLocker is designed based on TradingView, the charting tool of choice for many traders, offering an intuitive layout that even first-time users can navigate effortlessly.
Here are three key reasons why TradeLocker is the optimal choice for SuperFunded users:
1. Over 100 Technical Indicators and a Wealth of Charting Tools
- TradingView-like Drawing Engine: The platform includes standard indicators like Moving Averages and Bollinger Bands, as well as professional-grade tools such as Gann Fans and Pivot Points. Users can overlay multiple indicators, improving the reproducibility of their analysis.
- Template Saving Feature: Traders can save their preferred analysis environment as a template, allowing them to instantly start trading with the same setup upon their next login. This feature is also ideal for switching between different chart views for short-term and mid-to-long-term trading, significantly reducing daily analysis time.
- Multiple Chart Types: In addition to standard line charts and candlesticks, users can select unique chart types like Heikin Ashi. This allows for multi-faceted market analysis, helping to increase the precision of entry points.
2. A Dashboard that Visualizes Risk
- Real-Time Monitoring: TradeLocker’s risk management panel displays account balance, margin level, and active leverage in real-time. With drawdown limits being a critical factor in SuperFunded’s evaluation phases, this feature makes it significantly easier for traders to monitor and calculate their drawdown.
- Alerts and Actions: If the margin level approaches a predefined threshold, the system automatically triggers pop-ups and push notifications. This enables users to take immediate action, such as managing risk or adjusting positions.
3. Micro Lots & Versatile Order Types
- Minimum 0.01 Lot Trading: Flexibility in capital management is a major advantage for prop traders. TradeLocker allows trading from a minimum of 0.01 lots, enabling entries with minimal risk when necessary. This proves particularly powerful during the early stages of an evaluation phase when a trader wants to cautiously assess market sentiment.
- Intuitive Order Switching: Switching between market, limit, and stop orders can be done instantly with a single tap on the screen. This eliminates the need for complex order windows and helps prevent human errors, such as incorrect settings made in a hurry.
- Partial Closing and Drag-and-Drop Functionality: Users can modify stop-loss and take-profit levels in real-time by simply dragging them on the chart. The platform also supports trailing stops, allowing traders to incrementally adjust their profit targets as the market moves, which aids in meticulous capital management and profit maximization.
Aiming to Become a Next-Generation Prop Firm with TradeLocker
By completing its full migration to TradeLocker, SuperFunded has embraced a suite of advanced features while achieving greater platform stability, an enhanced UX, and visualized risk management. This empowers traders to conduct smoother, more precise trades while constantly keeping the critical drawdown limits of the evaluation phase in check.
