Futures Trading 101

What is Futures Trading?

Futures trading involves buying or selling contracts for assets like commodities, currencies, or stock indices at a predetermined price on a future date. Unlike stocks, futures contracts allow you to trade with leverage, meaning you can control a large position with a relatively small amount of capital.

This makes futures trading attractive to many traders, but it also increases risk. Understanding how futures work is essential before you start trading with a prop firm.

Prop Firms Explained

What is a Prop Firm?

A proprietary trading firm provides traders with capital to trade. Instead of risking your own money, you trade the firm capital and split profits. Most firms require you to pass an evaluation challenge first.

Choose Your Challenge

Select an account size and pay a one time challenge fee.

Pass the Evaluation

Reach the profit target while staying within drawdown limits. This proves you can trade profitably.

Get Funded & Trade

Once funded, trade with the firm capital and keep a percentage of profits depending on the firm.

Why Trade with a Prop Firm?

Prop firms allow you to trade with significant capital without risking your own money. This is especially valuable for traders who have proven strategies but lack the capital to scale up.
