PropShopTrader co-founder Sean Kozak will explain how traders build consistency, manage risk and evaluate what to look for in a prop firm.
DETROIT, MICHIGAN - April 20, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - For most traders, the challenge has never been finding information. It’s been learning how to apply it without burning through personal capital along the way. That’s what makes the modern prop model stand out. With structured evaluation programs and access to professional capital, traders can build consistency, strengthen risk management and grow across stocks and futures without having to rely on their own money.
PropShopTrader’s upcoming live webinar will break down exactly how the model works. Join live at 11 a.m. ET on Thursday, Apr. 23, as co-founder Sean Kozak explains how modern prop firms are helping traders move beyond the self-funded route and into more structured trading environments.
Whether you’re just getting started or already actively trading, this session will offer a practical look at how today’s multi-asset prop model is creating new opportunities for traders, and whether it could do the same for you.
What Prop Trading Actually Is
Proprietary trading, or prop trading, is a model in which traders are given access to a firm’s capital instead of being limited to their own accounts. Traders typically go through an evaluation process designed to test consistency, discipline and risk management before gaining access to that capital. In PropShopTrader’s case, that means evaluation programs in stocks and futures, followed by the opportunity to transition into a real prop trading account. This is particularly relevant on the equities side, where regulatory complexity has historically limited access. PropShopTrader’s compliant stock trading model allows equity traders to participate in prop trading in a way that hasn’t been widely available before.
And that’s the big shift. For years, success in trading didn’t depend on skill alone. It also required enough starting capital to weather the learning curve. Now, instead of limited capital shutting traders out, modern prop firms are using structured evaluation programs to identify skilled traders and create a more defined route into active trading across stocks and futures.
Why Multi-Asset Access Matters
Not every trader performs best in the same market. Some prefer the pace and flexibility of equities. Others are drawn to futures for their structure, liquidity and trading hours.
That’s why multi-asset access matters. Traders have different strategies, risk tolerances and time horizons, and access to more than one market gives them more room to find the environment that fits them best.
That’s one reason the model is getting more attention. It’s not just about capital. It’s about having a framework to build skills, manage risk and grow across more than one market.
