What is a funded account in prop trading?

A funded account is a trading account provided by a proprietary firm that gives you capital to trade after you pass their evaluation process. You trade with the firm’s money and keep a portion of the profits.

A funded trading account refers to a setup where a prop firm provides traders with capital to trade financial markets. The trader doesn’t risk their own money. Instead, they follow specific rules (such as drawdown limits and minimum trading days), and if successful, they keep a share of the profits while the firm absorbs potential losses up to a limit.

Funded accounts can be worth it if you have a consistent trading strategy and understand risk management. They allow beginners to access larger capital without risking personal funds. However, strict rules and evaluation fees mean not all traders will succeed on the first try, so preparation is key.

To qualify, you must pass the prop firm’s evaluation, which typically tests your consistency, risk management, and profitability. Some firms offer one-step challenges, while others require passing two or more phases.

No, you don’t trade your own capital. However, most firms charge an evaluation fee. Once funded, you trade using the firm’s capital, and losses beyond a certain drawdown limit will end the account.

Once funded, you can start trading real capital. Profits are usually shared based on a split (e.g., 80/20 or 90/10). You’ll need to follow rules like maximum drawdown and trade consistency to maintain your account.
