With self-funded trading, the risk lies solely with you. You invest your money, you decide the level of risk and reap the rewards - or absorb the losses. It’s high risk and you need to raise the capital to invest in the first place. But what if you didn’t need to use all your own money? What if there was a way you could trade with virtual funds - like you would in a demo account - but with the benefit of real profits? Enter prop trading.

Prop trading gives traders like you the chance to take on challenges where you get to trade in real market conditions, but with virtual funds. And the best bit? You get a real share of any profits made.
There are challenges to suit all budgets and abilities. Prices range from $35 all the way up to $2,400, with virtual funds from $5,000 to $500,000. Successfully pass a challenge and you can receive up to 90% of the profit share.
