What Is A Prop Firm?

What It Means

A prop firm (short for proprietary trading firm) is a company that provides traders with capital to trade with. Instead of using your own money, you trade the firm's capital. In exchange, you share a percentage of the profits you make — typically keeping 80% to 95% of what you earn.

Most prop firms, including Albatrix Funded, use an evaluation system. You first pass a challenge to prove you can trade profitably while managing risk. Once you pass, you receive a funded account with real buying power. The firm takes on the financial risk, and you earn a split of any profits.

How It Differs From Personal Trading

When you trade with your own money, you keep 100% of the profits — but you also take 100% of the losses. You need a large account to make meaningful returns, and every loss comes out of your own pocket. With a prop firm:

• Capital: You trade the firm's money, not yours. A small challenge fee gives you access to a large account.
• Risk: You can only lose your challenge fee. If you lose the firm's capital during the challenge, you simply fail the challenge.
• Profit split: You share your profits with the firm, but the firm provides the platform, infrastructure, and capital.

Benefits Of Trading With A Prop Firm

There are several reasons why traders choose prop firms over funding their own accounts:

• Access to large capital: For a small one-time fee, you can control accounts up to $100,000 or more. Building that capital yourself would take years.
• No personal risk: Your downside is limited to the challenge fee. You are not risking your life savings.
• Profit split up to 95%: You keep the vast majority of what you earn. The firm takes a small percentage for providing the capital and infrastructure.
• No monthly fees: At Albatrix Funded, there are no subscriptions or recurring costs. Pay once and trade.
• Fast payouts: You can request a payout at any time on a funded account, not just at the end of the month.
