The path to profitable trading in financial markets is thorny: it requires strict discipline, continuing professional education and a sufficient amount of funds for a balanced portfolio. While the first two conditions depend on a trader himself, the latter one depends on a company that provides the opportunity for proprietary trading. Both the beginners and the professionals need such services, so they are quite common. Cooperation with prop companies helps scale your own strategy and give a boost to your professional growth. For example, Bloomberg tracks the achievements of portfolio managers and this could help you to be invited to Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan or Barclays. Proprietary trading allows you to increase income, reduce personal risk, improve trading skills and be in a team with the best global traders. Our research of more than 100 global companies helped us identify best practices and work patterns. We use Try2BFunded by Just2Trade (J2T) as a benchmark. The lack of open platforms for outsource fund managers. Companies usually require official employment (sometimes it implies moving to another city), while a manager may only be interested in income from trading. J2T allows you to trade outside the office, you can do it remotely anywhere you like. Equity. If you trade on a personal account with a balance of $10,000, your margin positions are limited to $40,000 intraday. After the competition, J2T gives $100,000 under your management (other companies do not publicly declare the amount), which increases purchasing power up to $400,000. An increase in equity will increase profit tenfold. Transaction statistics is the best proof of expertise. Prop companies often resort to tests, questionnaires and interviews. Are professional ready to spend their time on student exams? J2T makes an open competition for everyone. Evaluation criteria. Everyone expects successful traders, but this characteristic is very subjective. Companies do not publish terms of profitability and risk by which they evaluate their performance. J2T clearly defines them: profit target 6%, maximum loss (2% per day) and drawdown (4%). Profit distribution. Most companies have non-transparent terms of profit distribution. J2T provides the following terms of profit distribution: 60% to the trader and 40% to the company. Limited range of instruments. Different companies have limitations on trading styles, analysis methods or instruments (for example, only options and futures). This greatly reduces trading opportunities. J2T provides access to the NYSE, NASDAQ, Xetra, LSE and allows you to use your own trading philosophy. Advice rather than training. Some companies oblige managers to long-term training (up to two years). If you already have the necessary qualifications, you can independently plan your training. What else can we say about J2T: low-latency order technologies for implementing dynamic trading strategies, one of the lowest commissions on the market, well-timed market research and trading advice. We have just passed the competition and started our cooperation with Try2BFunded, but we already highly recommend it.
