Education

What is prop trading?

You trade the firm’s capital, not your own savings. You bring the skills, the firm brings the capital, and you share the profit.

  • Start from $9
  • Up to 90% of profits for the trader
  • Payouts within 48h
Your own capital

Trading capital
Whatever you’ve saved, e.g. $5.000
Up to $200.000 after a Challenge, or $100.000 instantly
What you risk
Your savings
A one-time programme fee
Your share of profit
100% of a small account
Up to 90% of a large account
Rules
Nobody holds you accountable
Clear risk limits that build discipline

How it works, step by step

  1. 01
    Choose an account

    Pick the account size and market: crypto, CFDs or futures. Pay a one-time fee.

  2. 02
    Pass the Challenge

    On a demo account, hit the profit target without breaching the loss limit. That’s how you prove your edge.

  3. 03
    Trade the firm’s capital

    Get a funded account and withdraw most of the profit. The best traders keep scaling.

A $50.000 account in practice

  1. 1Choose your account$50.000of trading capital
  2. 2Pass the Challenge$3.000profit target, with a $2.000 loss limit
  3. 3Trade the funded account$5.000in profit
  4. 4Withdraw your share$4.500goes to you
You: 90%, $4.500
Firm: 10%, $500

Your risk is the one-time Challenge fee, not $50.000 of savings.

Illustrative example based on IQ Capital’s 50K plan. Targets, limits and prices depend on the plan you choose.

Trader’s glossary

Profit target

The profit you need to reach to pass the Challenge.

Max drawdown

The maximum loss the account allows. Often measured at end of day (EOD).

Soft breach

Breaching a limit closes the position, not the account. IQ Capital gives you two of these.

Profit split

How profit is shared between you and the firm, e.g. 90/10 in the trader’s favour.

Payout

Your profit withdrawal, in crypto or by bank transfer.

Instant Funding

A funded account from day one, with no Challenge.

Analysis

Order flow: see more

A candle shows where price went. Order flow shows who took it there: how many aggressive buyers and sellers there were, at which levels, and what liquidity was waiting in the order book.

  2. 2POC. The level with the most volume in the candle.
  3. 3Buy imbalance. Buyers outweigh sellers by more than 2:1 and take the initiative.

Footprint

Buy and sell volume at every price level inside the candle.

Delta and CVD

The difference between aggressive buying and selling. Cumulative delta shows who is taking control.

Imbalance

Levels where one side clearly dominates. They often mark an impulse or support.

Volume Profile and POC

How volume is distributed across prices. The POC is the price with the most volume.

Order book and heatmap

Resting orders in the DOM and the history of liquidity. You can see where large players wait.

Big trades

Highlights unusually large aggressive orders, which often precede a move.

Why it matters in prop trading

Risk limits call for precise entries and tight stop losses. Order flow helps you find the places where risk is smallest and your edge is clearest.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Prop Trading Poland?

An independent platform for traders in Poland. We bring together knowledge about prop trading and order flow, proven tools and a community. We work with partners but remain an independent brand.

What exactly is prop trading?

A model in which a proprietary trading firm provides traders with capital. The trader first proves their skills, then trades the firm’s capital and keeps most of the profit.

What does it cost to start?

You pay a one-time fee for the programme you choose. The amount depends on account size. At IQ Capital, the cheapest start is $9.

Am I risking my own money?

Only the programme fee. You never cover losses on a funded account, and the risk limits are known from day one.

Challenge or Instant Funding?

A Challenge costs less and unlocks larger accounts, up to $200.000, but you pass a test first. Instant Funding costs more, but you start right away with up to $100.000.

What is order flow, and do I need it?

Order flow analyses who is actually trading: aggressive orders, volume at each price and liquidity in the order book. It isn’t required, but it helps you plan entries and risk precisely, which matters a lot in prop trading.

How much does ATAS cost?

ATAS offers a 14-day free trial. IQ Capital traders can use a free licence on qualification-phase accounts connected through IQ Capital dxFeed.

How fast are IQ Capital payouts?

Payouts are guaranteed within 48 hours and take about 3 hours on average. Choose crypto or bank transfer. There is no minimum.

Do I need to be an experienced trader?

The programme is open to everyone, but trading carries risk. Start with a smaller account, practise in Market Replay and treat risk limits as part of your strategy.
