Proprietary Trading

Compare proprietary capital with putting the same cash into a leveraged Live/Personal account. Both sides trade the same randomized outcomes, isolating the impact of capital, risk, scaling and payout rules.

Model 1

Progressive Capital Scaling

Progress through increasingly larger prop-capital levels by achieving each stage target.

How it works

  1. Start at a selected capital level
  2. Risk a % of current prop capital
  3. Reach the profit target → payout
  4. Advance → capital resets to the next level
  5. Repeat through progressively larger capital
  6. Drawdown breach → stage fails
  7. Final level uses the terminal profit-share model

Model 2

Fixed Capital + Withdrawals

Pass an evaluation, trade a fixed funded account and periodically withdraw profits above a retained buffer.

How it works

  1. Complete Phase 1 / Phase 2
  2. Drawdown breach → evaluation fails
  3. Pass → fixed funded capital
  4. No capital scaling
  5. Profits accumulate
  6. Withdraw above the retained buffer
  7. Apply trader profit share
  8. Continue trading remaining funded capital

What are we testing?

Prop
  1. Cash spent
  2. ↓
  3. Access larger capital
  4. ↓
  5. Operate within prop rules
  6. ↓
  7. Receive eligible payouts
vs
Live / Personal
  1. Same cash retained
  2. ↓
  3. Owned trading capital
  4. ↓
  5. Use leverage
  6. ↓
  7. Compound owned equity

The comparison measures cash actually owned by the trader, not headline account size.

Results vary with trading performance, risk, drawdown rules, payout mechanics and the randomized order of outcomes.
