What is Proprietary Trading?

Proprietary trading refers to the practice of trading financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, or derivatives, using a firm's own capital rather than client funds. In proprietary trading. the firm, also known as a proprietary trading firm or prop firm, engages in trading activities to generate profits for itself.

Proprietary trading is distinct from other forms of trading, such as retail or institutional trading, as it involves using the firm's own money to take positions in the market. Proprietary traders, who are employed by the firm, execute trades on behalf of the company, utilizing their expertise and knowledge of the financial markets to identify profitable opportunities.
