At Funded Peaks, we take pride in our role as an evaluation firm, providing comprehensive and compliant simulated trading services. This article explains the function of a prop trader within this context, adhering to our strict guidelines for transparent communication.

Prop traders at Funded Peaks engage in simulated trades using virtual funds, providing valuable trading data back to the firm. This role is crucial for testing strategies and developing trading skills in a risk-free setting, without the pressures associated with live market conditions. 

Benefits of Simulated Prop Trading

  1. Risk-Free Training: Traders can experiment with various strategies without the financial risks associated with real trading.
  2. Skill Development: Continuous exposure to simulated market conditions helps in honing trading skills.
