How to trade futures with a prop firm's money (beginner guide) [Video]

Futures prop trading lets you trade a $25K, $50K, or even $100K account for as little as $20, and keep up to 80-100% of the profits if you follow the rules. In this beginner's guide, you'll learn exactly how futures prop firms work, what to trade, how much to risk, and the rules that trip up most new traders, from your first evaluation to your first payout.

Instead of risking $10,000 of your own savings, you pay a small challenge fee and prove you can trade. But the traders who get funded aren't always the best chart readers. They're the ones who understand the rules, the risk, and the process before they start.
