Where Prop Traders Get Funded - Properly

We help serious traders cross the line from ‘almost’ to ‘actually funded’ – with structured coaching, risk mastery, and the discipline to stay funded once you’re there.

Why Most Traders Don’t Make It - And Why You Will

Most traders don’t fail their prop challenges because they lack skill. They fail because they approach a structured evaluation with an unstructured process.

Prop firm challenges demand more than market knowledge – they require discipline, risk control, and mental clarity under pressure.

Here’s what we see time and again:

  • Inconsistent performance. Good trades followed by emotional decisions that undo progress.

  • Risk mismanagement. Overexposure, ignored drawdown limits, or chasing losses.

  • Emotional trading. Fear, hesitation, and frustration cloud otherwise sound strategies.

  • Unverified methods. Strategies lifted from social media without proper testing.

  • Unforced errors. Breaching rules unknowingly – through lot size, timing, or news exposure.

The issue isn’t ability. It’s alignment. We help traders bridge that gap – by putting the right structure around their skills.

Structure Where It Matters Most

There’s no shortage of trading advice out there. But what most traders need isn’t more noise – it’s structure. A clear, tested path that reflects how prop firm challenges really work, and what it takes to pass them.

That’s why our programme is built around the actual needs of funded traders, broken down into seven practical modules. Each one addresses a key area where most challenges are lost – and where your edge can be sharpened.

Each module is practical, personal, and designed to give you something most traders never receive: a professional framework that puts your skills in the best possible light.

1. Know the Rules, Play the Game

We start by demystifying the fine print: drawdown limits, profit targets, trading hours and hidden pitfalls. Because passing isn’t just about performance – it’s about staying within the lines.

2. Build Psychological Resilience

We train what the market tests: emotional control, confidence under pressure, and the discipline to stay out when conditions aren’t right.

3. Master Risk Before Strategy

Risk is the foundation. We help you manage exposure, size your positions correctly, and avoid the kind of overreach that ends most evaluations.

4. Use Strategies That Actually Fit the Format

You won’t find overcomplicated theory here. Just clean, repeatable setups tailored to the challenge format and designed to keep you consistent.

5. Test, Refine, Repeat

We guide you through rigorous backtesting and forward testing – so your approach is proven before it’s funded.

6. Stay Funded, Stay Professional

Passing is the start. We support you beyond the certificate – with guidance on scaling, consistency, and avoiding costly mistakes once the pressure’s off.

The Edge You Were Missing

Prop firm trading isn’t about taking big bets. It’s about making consistently good decisions – under pressure, within limits, and with clarity. That’s exactly what our programme is built to deliver.

When you work with us, you’re not just learning to pass a challenge. You’re learning to trade like a professional. Here’s what that means in practice:

  • A strategy you trust. No more jumping between setups or second-guessing entries. You’ll have a defined, repeatable approach that suits your style and meets the rules.

  • Clear risk parameters. Know exactly how much to risk, where to place your stops, and how to protect your account across changing market conditions.

  • Emotional discipline. Whether you’re riding a win or facing a loss, you’ll know how to stay grounded and focused.

  • Accountability and support. Daily check-ins, expert feedback, and a community that understands your goals—and holds you to them.

  • Higher pass rates. More traders pass with us than without us. Because structure, support, and professional insight make all the difference.

  • A roadmap beyond the challenge. We don’t stop at “funded.” You’ll leave with a plan to scale, manage pressure, and trade with longevity in mind.

Most traders try to navigate this alone. You don’t have to. And you shouldn’t have to.

Case Study: From Second Attempts to Second Nature

Meet Daniel
A 34-year-old accountant from Manchester, Daniel had been trading in the evenings for two years. Like many, he’d developed a decent grasp of the markets – he could read a chart, had a handful of go-to setups, and wasn’t afraid to pull the trigger.

But prop firm challenges were another matter.

By the time he came to us, Daniel had failed three attempts with two different prop firms. The pattern was always the same: strong early trades, one or two setbacks, and then a spiral—overtrading, rule breaches, and the dreaded max daily drawdown.

Here’s what Daniel said in his intake call:
“I know I can do this. But every time I get close, I either freeze or I blow it. It’s not that I’m guessing – I just can’t seem to keep it together for 20 trading days.”

What We Did

Daniel joined our 8-week Prop Firm Coaching programme. We started with the basics – firm rules, risk templates, and a review of his trading history. It turned out he wasn’t far off technically, but his strategy lacked structure, and his risk management was quietly sabotaging him.

We rebuilt his trading plan, introduced daily risk caps, and set a clear rule: no trading after two losses in a session. More importantly, we worked on his mindset. Through weekly psychology drills and daily check-ins, Daniel began to trade less reactively – and more intentionally.

The Outcome

On his next FTMO Challenge, Daniel passed in 13 trading days.

His equity curve was steady. No massive gains, no sharp losses – just consistency. But what mattered most was what came after: he’s now six months into his funded account, averaging 3.2% monthly with zero rule violations.

In his words:
“It wasn’t about finding the perfect strategy. It was about learning to trade like someone who was already funded.”

It’s Time to Trade Like You’re Already Funded

If you’re serious about passing a prop firm challenge – and building a funded account that lasts – you don’t need more guesswork. You need structure, accountability, and a system that’s been built for this exact moment in your trading career.

That’s what we offer.
And it starts with a single step.
