Full Definition
A prop firm (proprietary trading firm) is a company that allocates trading capital to traders who pass an evaluation challenge. The trader keeps a percentage of the profits (typically 70-90%) and the firm keeps the rest. Modern retail prop firms like FTMO, FundedNext, and FXIFY operate online and target retail traders worldwide.
