We Don’t Compete. We Redefined the Prop Trading Standard

From day one, trader2B® has shaped the models and metrics the industry now follows.

We introduced the Consistency Score™, setting a new benchmark for evaluating steady performance. We created the One-Step Evaluation (ToroChallenge®) long before it became the norm. Our 1:2 risk-reward model and 6% profit / 3% drawdown rules became the blueprint for modern challenges. And our capital structures, including the $100K funded account, set the standard many firms use today.

The Prop Trading Standard

trader2B® was the first to introduce trading challenges to stocks, helping define the modern prop trading model.
We introduced the Consistency Score, launched the One-Step Evaluation (ToroChallenge®) ahead of the market, and set benchmarks with our 1:2 risk-reward model, 6% profit target, and 3% drawdown rules. Our capital structures—including the $100K funded account—became reference points many firms now follow.
Built through real trading, not theory, our standards are powered by proprietary technology designed to reflect real market behavior—focused on accuracy, accountability, and real performance, without shortcuts.
We believe online day trading can be safe, smart, and rewarding when guided by the right tools and values.
And above all, we believe in giving every trader a fair shot: to learn how to trade, perform with confidence, and grow.
Meet Our Founder

Makram KEBTI

It all began back in the late 1990s when Makram Kebti, a college student with a passion for the markets, risked his school fees to trade stocks. He lost it all when the dot-com bubble burst, but he did not walk away. Instead, that loss became the foundation of a lifelong pursuit to master trading.
After graduating, Makram built his career with leading high-frequency futures, Forex and equity brokerages, helping to manage some of the largest U.S. proprietary trading desks: operations that together represented over 5% of the daily U.S. market volume.

In 2010, he started SFG Trading, later rebranded as trader2B®, with a clear mission: to build trading technology in-house and give traders access to advanced tools, professional risk management systems, and a real path to trading capital. In 2014, Makram introduced one of the first trading challenge models to the market. At the time, the concept was dismissed by many, but it later became widely adopted across the prop trading industry.

Today, trading challenges are used by millions of traders around the world, built on the same idea Makram helped pioneer: giving traders a lower-cost way to prove their skills, manage risk, and access trading capital.

A Loss That Built a Mission

The early loss guided Makram's mission: to help others avoid the same mistakes and give traders a real path to success. That vision became the ToroChallenge®, enabling aspiring traders to prove their skills at a small cost, gain access to live trading capital, and avoid the big losses.

What began as a lesson for one trader has now become a global movement of empowering thousands to learn, trade, and earn with confidence.
