Traders and Prop Firms
This is the corner of the market almost nobody explains in plain English. Traders and Prop Firms gives funded traders, and anyone dealing with a prop firm, straight answers on how challenge and funded-account models actually work, what to watch for in a firm’s terms, how payouts and the tax on them are treated, and how to tell a legitimate firm from one that is not.
It is written by someone who knows how the industry works from the business side, and it is on your side, not the firm’s. Every guide is plain English, built on the actual rules, and honest about the risks, so you can go in with your eyes open. Start with the cornerstone guide for the full picture, then use the specific guides below for the question in front of you.
Start Here: The Complete Overview
Before you pay for a challenge or sign up with a firm, read this. Our cornerstone guide covers the whole subject: how the funded models really work, the terms that decide whether you keep your money, how payouts are taxed, and how to spot a firm that is not what it claims. It is the map for everything else in this section.
