A  Prop (proprietary) Firm, also known as a Forex Prop Trading Firm, is a company that provides traders with capital to trade the foreign exchange (Forex) market and other markets. These firms allocate their funds to skilled traders and share in the profits generated from their trading activities. Traders at Forex Prop Firms often use the firm's capital, tools, and infrastructure to execute trades, and they may receive a portion of the profits as compensation 



In return for access to capital, traders are typically subject to risk management rules and may have to meet performance targets set by the firm. This arrangement allows traders to leverage larger amounts of capital than they might have on their own, but it also comes with the responsibility of managing the firm's funds effectively.


Forex Prop Firms can be an attractive option for experienced traders looking to scale up their trading activities and access more significant resources for trading in the Forex market.
