What is Funded Account?
A funded account is a trading account backed by firm capital rather than personal funds. Once approved, a trader operates under specific risk parameters and receives a share of the profits generated.
The key difference between a retail account and a funded account is capital exposure. In a retail account, you risk your own money. In a funded account, the firm provides capital while limiting risk through structured rules such as daily loss limits and maximum drawdown thresholds. Funding levels may scale based on performance consistency.

THE PROBLEM
Most Traders Don’t See the Real Structure
-
Is your broker A-Book or B-Book?
-
Is your funded account simulated?
-
Are you paying for evaluation instead of trading?
If performance cannot be independently verified,
capital allocation becomes marketing — not merit.

Trading Journal

A trading journal is not a diary—it is a data engine. Professional traders track performance metrics such as expectancy, risk-reward ratios, win distribution, drawdown structure, and volatility exposure. Structured journaling transforms trading from emotional decision-making into statistical analysis. Verified track records allow for objective evaluation, capital scaling, and long-term consistency. In modern prop trading environments, data transparency is often the foundation for funding decisions.
