About SATO Trades
SATO Trades is a transparent futures trading platform run by a real funded trader. We host occasional live trading sessions on YouTube, publish honest prop firm reviews, and give back to the trading community with free funded-account giveaways.
What we do
- Host occasional live trading sessions on YouTube — over three months of live trading documented so far.
- Publish first-hand reviews and comparisons of futures prop firms we actually trade with.
- Run free funded-account giveaways during live sessions so newer traders can start without risking their own capital.
- Maintain a free knowledge base of guides on getting funded, payouts, scaling, and trading strategy.
How we make money
SATO Trades is funded primarily through affiliate partnerships with the prop firms we recommend. Our current partners are FundedNext, Tradeify, and Apex. When you sign up with code SATO at a partner firm, you get a discount and we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Other firms, such as Topstep, are covered without a partnership or code. We also offer paid Sato VIP daily ES & NQ levels. Our free Discord community has 4,700+ members.
Reviews are not paid placements. A firm becoming a partner does not change our rating — if we drop a firm because rules, payouts, or platform quality deteriorate, the review reflects that.
Editorial standards
Every review and comparison is written from real, in-platform experience. Our full editorial process — how we test firms, when we update content, and our affiliate disclosure — is documented on our methodology page.
