A proprietary trading firm (prop firm) provides traders with capital to trade financial markets. They evaluate traders through a challenge or assessment process, and successful traders can then trade the firm's capital for a share of the profits.

Consider factors like account size, trading style, evaluation process, profit split, and trading rules. Key aspects include maximum drawdown limits, profit targets, daily loss limit, and whether the firm supports your preferred trading instruments and platform.

Most firms have a 1-2 phase evaluation process. You'll need to reach a profit target while staying within drawdown limits. Some firms require minimum trading days, and many have rules about position sizing and risk management.

Initial costs vary by firm and account size. Typical evaluation fees range from $30 to $700+. Some firms offer discounted reset fees if you fail the evaluation.

A funded trading account is a live trading account provided by a prop firm after you successfully complete their evaluation process. With this account, you trade the firm's capital (not your own money) and keep a percentage of the profits you generate, typically 70-90%.

Evaluation accounts require you to pass a trading challenge (usually 1-2 phases) by hitting profit targets while staying within risk limits before getting funded. Instant funding accounts give you immediate access to trade live capital without an evaluation period, but typically have stricter rules and lower profit splits initially.
