Prop trading (proprietary trading) is when traders trade with a company’s capital instead of their own. Traders are allocated company funds, trade within set risk limits and share in the profits. The company provides the capital and absorbs trading losses.
Kraken Prop lets you trade with up to $200,000 of Kraken capital and keep up to 90% of your profits.
Start by taking an evaluation in a simulated trading environment that reflects live market conditions. If you reach the profit target without breaching the risk limits, you’ll pass the evaluation and get a funded wallet to trade with.
Kraken Prop uses the same interface and trading tools as Kraken Pro. The difference is that you trade with Kraken capital instead of your own funds.
The fee covers the evaluation. It’s a one-time cost (per evaluation) to demonstrate consistent, risk-managed trading. You don’t need to deposit trading capital — the evaluation fee is your only financial risk. Kraken covers any trading losses beyond that.
No. Once you purchase an evaluation, your goal is to reach the profit target without breaching the risk limits. There’s no time limit, so you can trade at your own pace.
Risk limits vary according to the plan you choose. They define the maximum loss allowed in a day or over the lifetime of an evaluation or funded wallet.
Each limit may be expressed in two ways:
Max daily loss
The maximum loss allowed in a single day from an evaluation or funded wallet, expressed as a percentage or USD value.Max drawdown
The maximum decline allowed from the starting balance over the lifetime of an evaluation or funded wallet, expressed as a USD value.Daily loss limit
The equity level at which an evaluation or funded wallet breaches the max daily loss rule.Drawdown limit
The equity level at which an evaluation or funded wallet breaches the max drawdown rule.
If your equity falls to or below the daily loss limit or the maximum drawdown limit, the evaluation wallet will be closed. You don’t owe any additional funds and you can buy a new evaluation at any time.
The evaluation fee is non-refundable.
