How can you earn with a prop‑firm?
Pass the evaluation challenge – most firms require you to trade a demo account and meet a profit target while respecting daily loss limits and consistency rules. Once you meet the criteria you graduate to a funded account.
Trade the funded account – you keep a percentage of the profits (often 70‑80 %). The firm provides the capital, but you must stay within the daily loss cap and avoid prohibited news‑trading periods.
Manage risk – use proper position sizing (e.g., 1‑2 % of account per trade) and respect the firm’s maximum drawdown. This protects both you and the prop firm.
Stay consistent – many firms track your win‑rate and trade frequency. Consistency helps you avoid sudden large losses that could trigger a reset.
