What is a proprietary trading (prop) firm?

Applies to: Basics · Updated · FundedQuants help center

A prop firm backs traders with its capital or, as with evaluation firms like ours, rewards traders for results on simulated capital. You bring the skill; the firm provides the account, the rules and the rewards.

FundedQuants accounts are simulated; no real capital is traded. Program rules are on each program page; policies are in the Terms & Conditions.
