What is a prop firm and what is it used for?
Are you a novice trader or an experienced trader?
If you open a real trading account, every mistake costs you dearly: your capital is at risk, and one bad day is enough to burn a part of your savings. With a Prop Firm, on the other hand, you can operate with company capital, without putting your money at risk. If you win, you share the profits. If you lose, you don't lose your assets. Is it better to risk your money or that of a prop?
