Our Story
We've built TradersYard step by step with one goal in mind: create the fairest and most professional prop trading experience in the industry.
Two visionary entrepreneurs, Manuel Sonnleithner and Gilbert Kreuzthaler, backed by early supporters, set out to fundamentally disrupt the CFD proprietary trading industry. Their mission: build a prop firm that actually puts traders first.
The foundation expanded rapidly as traders discovered a new kind of platform focused on transparency and collaboration. The early community began to form, laying the groundwork for what would become one of the largest trader networks.
TradersYard evolved into a thriving social trading ecosystem. Within just two years, we grew an engaged community of over 20,000 active traders who connect daily, share strategies, and support one another in a true “traders-helping-traders” environment.
Recognizing the strong foundation and vision, Andromeda Capital Partners Suisse (founded by fintech veteran Ingmar Mattus) decided to back Manuel & Gilbert. This strategic investment accelerated our transition into a full-scale next-generation proprietary trading firm.
We completed years of development on our proprietary, fully in-house tech infrastructure. In 2024, TradersYard officially launched as a professional CFD prop firm with a custom-built platform designed from the ground up for serious traders.
We significantly broadened our offering by adding classic 1-Step and 2-Step prop trading challenges to the portfolio and launched specialized futures trading programs with rules specifically designed for futures contracts, removing the frustration of FX/CFD rules being forced onto futures.
Today, TradersYard stands as a trusted, fully backed Austrian prop firm serving thousands of FX and futures traders worldwide. We continue to innovate, expand asset coverage, and improve the trader experience every single month.
