Proprietary trading firms , known as prop firms or proprietary desks , have revolutionized the trading market by offering opportunities for traders to operate with substantial capital without the need for significant investment of their own.

These companies specializing in financing for traders have become a popular alternative for those looking to maximize their profits in the forex and futures markets.

What Are Prop Firms and How Do They Work?
A prop firm is a company that provides its own capital to traders to operate in the financial markets. The model operates through an evaluation system where traders must demonstrate their skills and discipline before receiving access to trading capital.

Once approved in the trading challenge, the trader can operate with amounts ranging from $5,000 to $2,000,000 or more, depending on the company and the plan chosen.

Main Advantages of Prop Firms

• Significant leverage without equity risk

• Favorable profit sharing (usually between 70% and 90% for the trader)

• Educational support and professional trading tools

• Capital scalability according to performance

• Reduction of psychological stress related to personal financial risk
