Building the Future of Prop Trading
We're on a mission to create a fair, transparent prop trading experience where traders actually succeed.
Why We Built PropEd Capital
PropEd Capital is committed to discovering and funding exceptional futures traders. After years of observing a proprietary trading industry driven primarily by resets and failed accounts, our founder set out to build a different model — one focused on transparency, fairness, and long-term trader development.
By combining robust technology, clear rules, and professional risk management, PropEd Capital creates an environment where traders of all experience levels can develop their skills, prove their edge, and access meaningful trading capital. Our goal is simple: to build a firm that rewards discipline, consistency, and growth rather than profits off failure.

Built on Industry-Leading Infrastructure
We partner with the best in the business so you trade with confidence.
Onyx Trading Platform
Onyx is our professional-grade web-based trading environment, powered by TradingView's advanced charting and brokerage API. Every PropEd account comes with full access — single-click order entry, built-in copy trading, drag-and-drop stop loss and take profit, and automatic risk controls. No extra cost, no downloads required.
Rithmic Data & Execution
All PropEd accounts run on the Rithmic infrastructure — the industry standard for real-time futures data and order routing. Your balance, P&L, and drawdown figures sync directly from Rithmic feeds, giving you institutional-grade data accuracy in a simulated paper trading environment.
Paytiko
Our payment technology partner, connecting traders to flexible payment options worldwide — including cards, bank transfers, and crypto.
Amazon Web Services
PropEd's platform runs on AWS Aurora Serverless v2 and ECS Fargate — allowing us to deploy changes on the fly without causing downtime or any interruption to our traders.
