Unlike retail trading, where you invest your own money and keep 100% of your profits (or losses), prop trading firms like Supertrade provide the capital. In return, you share a percentage of your earnings with the firm. At Supertrade, traders can keep up to 80% of their profits, which is one of the highest profit splits in the industry. Let’s break it down with a realistic example.
Example: How Much Can You Make?
Imagine you start with a $50,000 funded account.
- If you generate a 5% return in a month, that’s $2,500 in profit.
- With a 80% profit split, you take home $2,425, and the firm keeps the rest.
- If you scale up to a $200,000 account, the same 5% return would give you $9,700 in earnings per month.
Now, consider this: Some traders make 10%+ monthly, while others aim for consistent, lower-risk profits of 2-3%. It all depends on your strategy and risk management.
What Affects Your Earnings?
Several factors influence how much you can make as a prop trader:
1. Account Size
The larger your funded account, the higher your potential earnings. Supertrade offers accounts up to $700,000, giving traders more room to scale profits.
