The concept refers to the highest tier of funded trading accounts offered by certain proprietary trading firms. These accounts provide traders with substantial capital allocations, allowing them to potentially generate significant profits while leveraging the firm’s resources. An example would be a program where a trader, after passing an evaluation phase, gains access to a trading account with a maximum capital allocation, often exceeding typical entry-level funding.
Securing access to these accounts offers several advantages. Experienced and successful traders can significantly scale their trading activities, increasing their potential income. Furthermore, the backing of a reputable funding firm provides access to advanced trading platforms, educational resources, and a supportive community of fellow traders. Historically, access to large capital pools was limited to institutional investors and hedge funds, but these programs democratize access to significant trading capital for skilled individuals.
