How to Become a Funded Trader
Trading is one thing if you have the capital to do it and another when you don't... As you begin to trade with more capital and higher lot sizes, your potential increases drastically. So if you have a couple thousand or even a couple hundred thousand to trade with (and the knowledge) you can be very profitable and make a living of a trade or two a week. However, there are prop firms that will allow proficient traders to prove themselves in order to receive anywhere from a $50,000 - $600,000 account(s).
Getting an account can be as simple as paying a refundable amount of around $300-$1000, which allows one to take the test showing they can trade. Stipulations of the account can include that one cannot lose more than x amount per day, they must make x% in x amount of time, they must take x amount of trades, and they must typically split profits 80/20 with the firm (traders always taking the greater portion). This allows traders to trade with large amounts of capital and have virtually no risk.
