FTSE 100 Reaches 18-Month High Amid Rate Cut Speculation
UK equ"ities surged as the Bank of England signalled a potential pivot in monetary policy, creating significant opportunity for positioned traders.
HouseTrading Financial was built for those who were told the markets weren't for them. We exist to rewrite that story — one life-changing trade at a time.
The most powerful thing in finance isn't a chart or an algorithm. It's the moment two people agree to build something greater. That's the moment HouseTrading Financial was born — and the moment we create for every single client.
Trusted by & partnered with the world's most powerful institutions
Every trader at the top of the market was once a beginner with ambition and little else. HouseTrading Financial exists to close that gap — providing professional-grade strategies, mentorship, and infrastructure to those who've never had access before.
We believe financial freedom isn't a privilege. It's a right.
Boardroom discipline meets street-level hustle. Every person on this team has either come from nothing, helped others do the same, or dedicated their career to making markets accessible. This is not a corporate directory — this is a movement's command centre.
Marcus didn't inherit a desk at Goldman Sachs. He earned it — twice. Growing up on a council estate in Peckham with no financial background, he taught himself markets from library books and free online resources, landing his first trading role at 23 with nothing but a printed CV and unyielding conviction.
After a decade rising to VP at Goldman Sachs, he walked away — not to retire, but to build something the markets had never seen: a firm designed entirely around the people it had always excluded. HouseTrading Financial was founded in 1999 with £4,000 of personal capital. Today it manages over £4 billion across 38 countries.

Over 12,400 people trusted HTF with their financial future. These are their words — unedited, unfiltered, and life-changing.
"I was delivering parcels six days a week earning £24,000 a year. I had no savings, no plan, and no idea what the markets even were. HTF took me on, allocated capital I didn't have, and their team did everything. I just watched my life change. Two and a half years later I have a $1.2 million portfolio and I haven't delivered a parcel since."
"I'm from Peckham. Same ends as Marcus. When I heard he built this from nothing I applied the same day. I had literally £400 in my account. HTF funded me, their traders went to work, and within 4 years I'm sitting on $8.7 million. My mum cried when I told her. This isn't a company — it's a movement."
"I was a single mum on Universal Credit. I couldn't afford a takeaway let alone invest. HTF's funded programme asked nothing except my time and trust. Their traders built my portfolio from scratch. I now own my flat outright and my daughter just started at Edinburgh University — fees paid in full. I owe these people everything."
"I sold goods in Lagos market. No connections, no capital, nothing. I read about HTF's international funded programme online at 2am and applied on my phone. Six years later I manage a $22 million portfolio through their Elite tier. My family thinks I work for a bank. In a way, I suppose I do."
"As a carer earning £23k, I thought wealth was for other people. HTF's team handled everything — I didn't place a single trade myself. I just received quarterly statements that showed my portfolio growing. £500 became £50,000. £50,000 became £400,000. Then over $2 million. I still can't quite believe it."
"I worked in a factory for 19 years. Shift work. No pension to speak of. A colleague showed me HTF and I thought it was too good to be true. I nearly didn't apply. I'm so glad I did. Their traders, their connections, their institutional network — they turned nothing into $41 million over 7 years. I retired at 48. My children will never work a factory floor."
"I teach kids for a living and love it, but £28k a year doesn't build a future. HTF placed me in their Foundations tier and their trading desk handled my portfolio completely. I got updates, I got returns, I got a life I never thought possible. $1.7M in under 3 years. No experience needed — just trust."
"I had a barbershop and £12k saved up. HTF took that, matched it with institutional capital and went to work. I kept cutting hair for the first year. By year three I had $14 million under management. I still cut hair sometimes — because I love it. But I don't need to. That difference is everything."
"Graduated at 22 with £35k debt and no job. HTF onboarded me, allocated me to the Foundations tier, and their team traded on my behalf. Debt cleared in 14 months. Portfolio at $1.1M by month 26. I didn't touch a single trade. HTF did it all."
"I came in as a client with nothing. HTF's funded programme built my wealth while I learned the business from the inside. Eventually they offered me a job. I now work as a client analyst here — I help people like me get started. It's the most meaningful thing I've ever done. $4.5M portfolio. Dream job. Full circle."
"I came to this country with nothing. I drove a taxi for eight years. A passenger told me about HTF. I was sceptical — people like me don't get opportunities like this. But HTF proved me wrong. They funded me, their elite trading team built my portfolio, and I am now at $38 million. I bought my mother a home. I will never stop talking about this company."
"I was working two jobs and still struggling. A friend put me onto HTF and I was scared the whole time. I didn't understand markets, I didn't understand investing. I didn't need to. Their traders did it all. Two years later I quit both jobs. $2.2 million portfolio and I spend my days however I choose."
"Five years in a warehouse. Early mornings, cold floors, bad pay. HTF changed all of that. I didn't know what a P&L was. I still barely do. But their managed programme didn't require my knowledge — just my trust. $11 million managed through HTF's Prestige tier. The warehouse is a distant memory."
"I sold food by the roadside in Dakar. HTF's international funded programme was the only financial service that ever reached me. They managed everything remotely. My portfolio has grown to $1.9 million. I now run a small business and fund three employees. HTF gave me the foundation to give back."
"I spent 12 years as a prison officer. Good at my job. Terrible at saving. When I came to HTF I was 44 with nothing set aside for retirement. Their funded programme didn't just save my retirement — it obliterated the concept entirely. $5.8 million managed by their team. I retired at 47. Three years early."
"I cleaned houses in Nairobi for fifteen years. I found HTF through a Facebook post at midnight. I had $0 to invest. Their team assessed me, placed me in the funded programme, and over the course of 8 years built me a $47 million portfolio — entirely managed by their elite desk. I now employ 60 people across two businesses. There are no words adequate for what this company did for me."

HouseTrading Financial was founded in 1999 out of a simple, radical belief: that access to wealth creation should not be determined by where you were born, how much you started with, or who you know.
We are an FCA-regulated trading house operating from the City of London, with clients across 38 countries. From our flagship offices in Canary Wharf, our analysts, educators, and portfolio managers work around the clock — not just to generate returns, but to create financial literacy that lasts a lifetime.
We are not just a trading firm. We are a movement.
"The markets don't care where you came from. Neither do we — except to help you get further."
— Marcus J. Harrington, FounderThe name is not a metaphor. It is a method. For decades, the most reliable vehicle for wealth creation available to ordinary people was property — a house. You borrowed against it, leveraged it, built equity. The wealthy have always used debt not as a burden but as a tool.
HouseTrading Financial takes that same principle — the strategic use of borrowed capital to build real, lasting wealth — and applies it to the global financial markets. We trade with scale. We trade with institutional backing. And we trade on behalf of people who have never had access to either.
The house always wins — and now, you are the house.
Every major fortune in modern history was built on borrowed money. The difference between the people who built empires and the people who stayed struggling was not talent, not luck — it was knowing how leverage works, and having the access to use it. We give both to our clients.
The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad has publicly declared over $1 billion in debt — and calls it his proudest financial achievement. "Savers are losers. Debtors who invest wisely are winners." His entire philosophy mirrors what HTF was built on.
Famously borrowed to fund both Tesla and SpaceX simultaneously when both were near collapse. Used debt against his own assets to avoid selling equity. Leveraged his way to becoming the world's wealthiest person.
Walmart's first stores were funded entirely with loans, not savings. Walton understood that waiting to have enough money meant waiting forever. He moved on borrowed conviction — and built the world's largest retailer.
Started with nothing. Built a global shipping empire by borrowing to buy his first tanker, then using that asset to borrow for the next. Pure leverage, compounded over decades into one of the greatest fortunes of the 20th century.
Branson mortgaged his own home to launch Virgin Records. Then again for Virgin Atlantic. He has said publicly: "Every empire I built started with a loan I had no right to ask for." 400+ companies later, debt was always the foundation.
We have operated on this same principle since our founding — using institutional credit lines, BlackRock-backed capital and UK banking relationships to fund client portfolios that ordinary people could never access alone. Debt, wielded correctly, is the greatest equaliser in finance.
