LEARN · PRACTISE · COMPARE

Build trading discipline before you pursue a prop challenge.

Prop trading programmes let you demonstrate a strategy under a firm’s rules. Use this guide to understand the path, practise first and compare selected partner firms at your own pace.

01 · THE BASICS

What is prop trading?

A modern prop-trading programme is typically an evaluation on simulated capital. You trade under clear limits — such as a profit target, daily-loss limit and maximum-loss limit — to show that your approach is consistent and risk-aware.

If you meet all applicable rules, the provider may make you eligible for an account and performance-based rewards under its agreement. It is not a guaranteed income stream, and every firm has its own products, restrictions, fees and eligibility rules.

02 · THE PATH

How a challenge can lead to rewards

Take the process one step at a time. The objective is disciplined execution, not chasing a quick result.

  1. 01

    Learn the rules

    Understand the firm’s objectives, instruments, trading hours and loss limits before registering.

  2. 02

    Practise first

    Use a free trial or demo to test your plan in the same kind of environment.

  3. 03

    Take the challenge

    Work toward the objectives while respecting every risk-management rule.

  4. 04

    Qualify and progress

    After successful evaluation, follow the provider’s account, reward and scaling terms.
