Christian Habibi

Christian Habibi is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FundedElite and FuturesElite, two proprietary trading firms serving traders across both the CFD and futures markets. Born in Italy, Christian entered the trading world in 2020 and quickly recognized a gap in the industry: skilled traders had the ability but lacked access to capital and to fair, transparent paths to prove themselves. That insight became the foundation of his companies.

In 2023, Christian launched FundedElite, a CFD prop firm built around a trader-first philosophy. Just one year later, in 2024, he expanded into the futures market with the launch of FuturesElite, bringing the same approach to funded futures evaluations. As CEO of both companies, he oversees vision, strategy, operations, product development, and technology, leading the evolution of evaluation models, payout processes, risk controls, and the overall trader experience.

Together with his team, Christian has focused on continually innovating the prop trading space, developing new ways to make the trading world more approachable for people just getting started while keeping it engaging for experienced traders. The latest example is Elite Packs, a gamified take on the funding model that turns the traditional evaluation process into something new, interactive, and exciting, giving traders an experience unlike anything else in the industry.

Under his leadership, FundedElite and FuturesElite have continued to expand their offerings, grow their international community, and invest in technology that makes the funding process faster, clearer, and more reliable. Christian's leadership philosophy centers on transparency, sustainable growth, and creating real opportunities for traders while building companies designed to last.
