Imagine enjoying every upswing in the market without the stomach-knot risk of losing your own savings. That's proprietary (prop) trading. A prop firm funds skilled traders, absorbs the downside and shares the upside. You bring the strategy—we provide the fire-power.
How does it work?
01
We supply capital on a secure, real-time simulated account that mirrors live spreads and liquidity.
02
You trade — set your strategy, manage your risk, and execute on the same infrastructure institutional desks use.
03
We split the profits. You keep 90% of your profits, flat with no threshold later.
Whether you're tired of under-capitalised personal accounts or you just want to unleash your edge at scale—prop trading is the smart shortcut.

Why a Challenge instead of straight funding?
A short, fair evaluation phase protects both sides:
For you: One low, one-time fee replaces the five-figure deposit you’d need on your own. Succeed once and enjoy ongoing funding forever.
For us: Your Challenge performance proves you can respect risk limits—so we can safely wire capital, fast.
Think of it as an audition, not an obstacle course. Hit the target once, keep trading with real capital for as long as you like.
Prefer a head start? Try Instant Funding—skip the audition, start with up to 100.000 $. Same profit splits, slightly tighter draw-down limits. Perfect if you already have a verified track record.
