What is Prop Firm?

A proprietary trading firm allocates capital to traders, commonly after an evaluation challenge, and shares the resulting profits with them.

Stands for: Proprietary Trading Firm

The operating model centres on evaluation: selling a challenge, enforcing trading rules such as drawdown and daily loss limits, promoting successful traders to funded accounts, and processing profit-split payouts.

Consistent, evidenced rule enforcement is what makes a pass or fail defensible when a trader disputes it.
