If you've ever wanted to trade larger amounts of money but don't have tens of thousands of dollars to risk, a prop firm may be the solution.

A proprietary trading firm (prop firm) is a company that gives skilled traders access to larger trading accounts. Instead of using only your own money, you prove that you can trade responsibly by following the firm's rules. If you do, the firm rewards you by allowing you to trade a funded account and earn a share of the profits.

Why Would Someone Use a Prop Firm?

Let's say you're a great trader, but you only have $1,000 in your personal trading account.

Even if you're consistently profitable, your earning potential is limited because you're trading a small account.

A prop firm allows you to trade a much larger account without needing to deposit tens of thousands of dollars yourself.

For example:

• Instead of trading your own $1,000...
• You could qualify to trade a $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, or even $150,000 account through The Edge Funder.

This gives skilled traders the opportunity to earn more while risking far less of their own capital.

How Does It Work?

Getting funded is simple.

Step 1: Choose an Account

Select the account size that best fits your trading goals.

Step 2: Follow the Rules

Trade your account while following the account rules.

Examples include:

• Staying within the maximum loss limits
• Following trading restrictions
• Meeting the required trading objectives

Every account type has its own rules, so be sure to review them before you begin.

Step 3: Get Funded

Once you've met the account requirements, you'll receive a funded account.

From there, you simply continue trading while following the rules.

How Do Traders Make Money?

When you make profits on your funded account and meet the payout requirements, you can request a payout.

The Edge Funder shares those profits with you based on your account's profit split.

The better you trade while following the rules, the more you can earn.

Do I Risk My Own Savings?

No.

Your only cost is purchasing the account.

You are not depositing your own trading capital into the funded account. Your personal bank account is never exposed to the gains and losses of the funded account itself.

Is It Guaranteed?

No.

Just like any form of trading, there is risk.

Many traders do not pass their accounts because they break the trading rules or fail to trade consistently.

A prop firm gives you the opportunity to access more capital—it does not guarantee profits.

Who Is a Prop Firm Best For?

A prop firm is ideal for traders who:

• Have a trading strategy they're confident in
• Want access to larger buying power
• Don't want to risk a large amount of personal capital
• Can consistently follow trading rules and manage risk
