What Is a Futures Prop Firm? A Comprehensive Look at Funded Trading
A futures prop firm, or proprietary trading firm, is a company that provides capital to traders who demonstrate the ability to be consistently profitable. Instead of risking their own money, traders undergo an evaluation process. If successful, they gain access to a funded trading account, trade the firm's capital, and keep a significant portion of the profits they generate, typically ranging from 80% to 90%.
