What is online prop trading?

A new way for traders to gain a fully funded account
Regardless of your background or where you are in the world

  • No professional qualifications

    Most 'old school' prop firms require heavy qualifications and PhDs.

    But after COVID-19, we've seen an explosion of remote futures trading prop firms looking for someone like you:

    Independent traders, who want to scale up existing capital, without taking on huge risks to their own savings.

  • Fraction of the cost

    An average trader loses around $10,000+ of their own money when they first start trading live.

    The most difficult thing about trading is overcoming your own mental hurdles

    When there's ANY skin in the game, the stakes are so much higher.

    Prop firm challenges offer an opportunity to practice trading under pressure in a safe, low cost environment.

  • Mitigate Risk

    Controlling and reducing risk is the name of the game when trading.

    By getting into prop trading, you're getting a business partner who will take on ALL LOSSES on your behalf.

    When you're trading for yourself, all losses have to be swallowed by you.

    Apex Trader Funding - Learn More
    A discount firm with cheapest evaluations and permanent large promos.
    Word of warning though: while cheap, Apex has very complex payout rules and a tougher intra-position drawdown that makes it harder to pass the challenges. But they are still the cheapest option expecially if you're still reseting accounts before getting to the funded stage.

  • Up to 20 accounts - please don't buy 20 right away just because they're cheap
  • Activation fees apply after passing the evaluations
  • Soft daily loss limit in the form of 30% "consistency" rule
