Getting funded to trade an EA
A prop firm funds a trading account once you pass its evaluation, in exchange for a share of the profits. Run your challenge's numbers through the prop firm calculator and consistency calculator before you commit to one.
Challenge fees, profit splits, and rules vary by firm and change often — and this industry has seen firms shut down with little warning. Check a firm's current terms and recent trader reviews directly before paying for any challenge.
