A proprietary trading firm (prop firm) provides traders with funded accounts to trade financial markets. Instead of risking your own capital, you trade with the firm's money and share the profits.
Think of it like an audition. The firm gives you a simulated account with specific rules — hit the profit target without breaking the rules, and you earn a funded account with real capital.
Why Prop Firms Exist
Many skilled traders lack the capital to trade meaningfully. A trader who can consistently make 3-5% per month is incredibly valuable — but without $50K-$150K in capital, their returns are too small to live on.
Prop firms solve this by providing the capital. The trader provides the skill. Both sides win.
How Day Trader Funding Is Different
Most prop firms charge monthly subscriptions ($100-$300/month), expensive data fees, and make it nearly impossible to pass. Their business model relies on traders failing and paying again.
Day Trader Funding flips this model: one-time fee, no subscription, no data fees, and a simple 3-day pass. Our business succeeds when traders succeed — because successful traders buy resets, upgrade accounts, and refer friends.
Getting Started
Choose your account size (50K, 100K, or 150K), pay once, and start trading immediately. Hit the profit target (6% of account size) without exceeding the max drawdown, and you're funded.
It really is that simple.
