Prop firms

Trade someone else's capital

A prop (proprietary trading) firm gives you a funded account after you prove yourself on an evaluation. Pass a two-step challenge — hit a profit target without breaching the loss limits — and you trade their money, keeping most of the profit. It's the fastest way to trade real size without risking your own capital, and it suits a low-drawdown system like ours.

1 · Evaluation

Hit a profit target (often 8–10%) without breaking the daily or overall loss limit. Usually two phases.

2 · Get funded

Pass and you trade a funded account. No personal capital at risk beyond the challenge fee.

3 · Keep the profit

You keep 80–90% of what you make, paid out on a schedule.

Why our systems fit prop rules — the whole game is not breaching the drawdown limit while you grind to the target. A high return-to-drawdown edge, a hard per-trade risk cap and same-day closes are exactly what keeps you inside the lines. That's what we build for.
