What is a Prop Firm?
A proprietary (prop) trading firm provides traders with capital to trade financial markets. Instead of using your own funds, you trade the firm’s money. In return, the firm takes a share of the profits you make, while you keep a percentage as well. Prop firms are ideal for those looking to grow as traders without risking their own capital upfront.

How Does a Prop Firm Work?
At Windlu, traders can apply to access our capital by going through an evaluation process. If you pass, you’ll receive a funded trading account to trade markets such as Forex, Crypto, Indices, and Commodities. Our profit-sharing model allows you to keep a percentage of the profits, while we retain a portion. Windlu also provides learning opportunities, feedback, and performance tracking to help you become a successful trader.

  • Clarification on the use of Vendors or Third-party services
    As the original rule suggests, it is crucial that all trading activity with Windlu is your own. This means that every decision made, and every trade made comes from your creation and not the hands of others. Since this rule has been causing requirements for clarity, we have decided to include this rule as an addition to make sure there are no grey areas. Anyone using any vendor that promotes the passing of a prop firm evaluation or challenge will be banned. Therefore, any third-party vendor selling any service, whether its account management or an EA, that promotes usage on any prop firm, is forbidden. The market does not function in a manner where every user can trade the same and it remains efficient. Having pending orders bigger than the market does nothing but ruin the prop firm opportunity for everyone else and so the use of such services is prohibited. We are here to provide education to aspiring traders and we want this opportunity to last a long time.

Absolutely amazing experience. After passing my funded account i was handed my contract + kyc to complete and after completing it , I was handed my funded account immediately. Once my payout day arrived , my payout cleared in my bank account immediately.

Taaha

Overall one of the best propfirms I came across. Would highly recommend it to anyone with high expectations. Great customer service,quick and easy access,low spreads and so many more.They also offer affordable products to any type of trader. Surely on their way to becoming the no1 propfirm in SA.

Petersen

The interface is user friendly and the challenges are challenging but not difficult if one is dedicated to succeed. Easy withdrawals when profit sharing and once you get to Bi-Weekly profit withdrawal it gets even sweeter!!
