Axi, Hantec Markets, OANDA and IC Markets now offer prop trading.
CFD brokers offer a safer and more regulated trading environment, unlike other prop firms.
Proprietary
trading has become a hot topic in recent months, drawing attention from retail investors and sparking regulation controversies. After unlicensed companies failed to maintain traders' trust, FX/CFD brokers started offering prop trading services, recognizing a new niche in the industry. As experts interviewed by Finance Magnates claim, the niche can be really rewarding in the near future. Prop trading is set to become the next revolution and the future for the CFD sector.
Four companies, including OANDA, Axi, IC Markets, and Hantec Markets, have decided to pursue this market so far. In this article, we compare their
"challenges" and trading conditions.
FX/CFD Brokers Join the
Prop Trading Boom
Modern prop
firms allow retail traders to leverage significant amounts of the brokerage’s
capital without risking their own funds. Trading is predominantly conducted
with virtual funds, yet the profits are real.
To qualify,
traders typically pay a small fee to enter an evaluation process where they
demonstrate their skills through simulated trading. Successful traders gain
access to a funded account and keep a substantial portion of the profits they
generate, often between 60-90%.
This model
is particularly enticing for novice investors: Imagine accessing an account
worth $100,000 for just a few hundred dollars. This undoubtedly ignites traders' imaginations and contributes to the popularity of prop trading.
Currently,
these include OANDA, which introduced OANDA Labs Prop Trader, Axi with its Axi
Select, Hantec Markets launching Hantec Trader, and IC Markets with IC Funded.
Axi Select and the
"100% Free" Funded Trader Program
Axi was a
pioneer among FX/CFD brokers to implement a prop trading service. As part of
its new product Axi Select, it offered retail investors the opportunity to access up to $1 million in capital last September. Unlike traditional prop
trading firms, this service has no registration or monthly fees and is promoted
as a “100% Free” funded trading program. However, it is not entirely free of
charge. To join the first available stage, an initial capital is required.
Investors
start with at least $500 at the "Seed" stage, during which they can
receive maximum funding of $5,000. If they achieve a profit target of 5%, they
can progress to the next level. Interestingly, Axi Select does not use a demo account model but instead offers live trading. At the same time, it claims that demo prop trading may soon collapse.
There are
six levels in total, each with increasing minimum equity requirements, up to
$40,000. With each level, the maximum financing and profit share also increase.
Like standard prop firm offerings, there is also a maximum loss limit set at
10% per stage; exceeding this sends the account into "quarantine."
Axi Select
OANDA Labs Prop Trader and
Accounts up to $500,000
The first
challenge is available from $169, providing investors with $10,000 in virtual
funds. There are two profit targets to achieve: the first at 8% and the second
at 5%. Daily account losses cannot exceed 5%, and the maximum drawdown is 10%,
with the profit share in this challenge being 80%.

Unlike
other platforms, challenges are not tiered; beginners can start immediately
from the most expensive Black Challenge, which has a fee of $2,400 and an account worth $500,000. If daily or cumulative losses are exceeded, the challenge is lost, but it can be reattempted with a 20% discount.
OANDA Labs Prop Trader
Hantec Trader Offers Simple
Structure and $200,000
Just a day
later, Hantec Markets also presented its prop trading offer through the newly
opened entity, Hantec Trader. Like its competitors, trading takes place on
virtual funds, but the process of selecting challenges has been significantly
simplified.
Traders can
choose between two of them: Hantec Express Trader and Hantec Enhanced Trader.
In both cases, funded accounts range from $2,000 to $200,000. Traders must pay
an initial fee ranging from $39 to $999 (refundable for profitable traders) and
then meet the challenge conditions. In Express Trader, only one stage is
required per challenge, while in Enhanced Trader, there are two stages.
After
achieving the profit target, traders have the opportunity to scale up to the
next challenge free of charge. To do this, they must attempt the same challenge
again, ultimately reaching up to $200,000 without additional fees.
The profit
split in Hantec Trader can be up to 75%, but it can be increased to 90% through
the purchase of special add-ons, which also increase the initial fee.
"Hantec
Trader has experienced strong double-digit month-on-month growth since its
launch, and we anticipate this trend will continue for the remainder of the
year,” said Bashar Gokal, the Operations Manager at Hantec Trader. “It’s
evident that customers are seeking reliable and experienced firms to partner
with, given the ongoing uncertainty in the industry. We expect the demand for prop
trading to continue growing as prop trading providers target new market segments."
Hantec Trader
IC Markets Implements IC
Funded with up to 80% Gain Share
The latest
broker to enter the world of prop trading was IC Markets. In March, it
soft-launched IC Funded, where retail investors can obtain up to $500,000 in
funding and up to 80% gain share. However it looks like the platform is still
in the beta testing phase.
The offer
is also based on tiers and challenges, though IC Funded terms them
"evaluations." The first evaluation stage starts with a one-time
fee of $49 and an account funded with $5,000.
The
evaluation is divided into two stages, the first with a profit target of 10%
and the second of 5%. The maximum daily loss cannot exceed 5%, and the maximum
cumulative drawdown is 10%. These rules apply to all subsequent evaluations, of
which there are seven in total.
At the
highest level, the one-time fee is $2,498, allowing for trading with $500,000.
However, the profit split is not dependent on the trader's level but on the
duration of cooperation with IC Funded. During the first month, it is up to
75%, and after that, it is up to 80%.
On the
other hand, Hantec Trader stands out for the lowest fees. The cheapest challenge costs $39, and the smallest account size is $2,000. However, for
$49 at IC Funded, traders can receive an account worth $5,000.
OANDA Labs
Trader appears to have the best ratio of the lowest challenge price to
account size. For $169, the investor gets an account worth $10,000, and the first
profit target is not the standard 10% but 8%.
Before deciding on a specific platform, it is worthwhile
to compare details, such as the possibility of hedging, the necessity (or
absence) of using stop losses, the ability to trade on macroeconomic data, the
use of copy trading, etc.
Industry
professionals Finance Magnates spoke with in the newest Quarterly
Industry Report overwhelmingly agree that modern prop trading could be the
future and an important part of the development of FX/CFD brokers. "I
believe this is obvious," commented Maciej Wojciechowski, the Head of
Business Development at OnEquity.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
