About this article. This is general education from CK Trader Pro. It isn't investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell, or a trade signal, and it doesn't take your situation into account. Dollar figures and examples are illustrations, not results. Prop-firm rules, costs and payout terms vary by firm and change often; check the firm's current terms before you buy anything. We have paid referral relationships with some prop firms (see Disclosures). We are not owned, run, employed or endorsed by these firms. Mentioning a firm or its evaluations is not a recommendation that you trade. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.
