I used to shit on them. I didn’t know what I was doing and proceeded to lose tens of thousands of dollars going full tilt trading my cash account.

Then I figured I’d try them out so if I continued to lose, it was at a much lesser magnitude. I didn’t want to trade a sim with no connection to money. That was easy to stay composed and win trades with. I needed something on the line.

Fast forward 3 months of blown prop accounts that cost waayyyy less than I blew in my cash account. I was able to learn in a low stakes environment that feels high stakes.

I have 5 funded accounts and take payouts regularly throughout the week. I’m still net negative all time. But I’m well on my way to recouping all my loses slowly and steadily.

Some people say prop firms are only for people who can’t trade. But actually, if you’re a profitable trader, you can game prop firms for massive leverage copy trading dozens of accounts for very little risk, the cost of the challenge or direct to funded account.

Seasoned profitable traders can make money anywhere. Amateurs will likely lose money everywhere, but with props, they will lose money slower. And may figure it out before going broke.

im with you on the conflict of interest take, thats the right instinct. prop firms do pay out, but the model only works because most traders fail. truly consistent, low-risk traders arent their ideal customer, which is why rules quietly tighten or scaling hits a ceiling. the smart ones treat props as tepmorary leverage, pull profits fast, and dont rely on them long-term.
from what ive seen, pivex funded is one of the more legit options if youre going to play that game cleaner rules, real payouts, and less "gotcha"behavior. still a tool, not a forever capital partner.

Prop firms do pay out but the model works because most traders fail and the firms earn from challenge fees plus strict risk rules profitable traders are the exception not the threat

Prop firms are for people who don't know how to trade.
