Factors to Consider When Choosing a Prop Trading Firm in Canada

Proprietary Firm’s Regulation

If the prop company is located outside Canada (like the ones on our comparison table), it means it won’t fall under the control of Canadian financial regulators like the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization.

In this case, what you want to look out for is whether the firm is properly registered or regulated in its home country.

An “approved“ firm is more likely to follow fair practices, protect client interests, and offer more transparency.

Reputation

In addition to legal registration/license, it is equally important to evaluate the firm’s reputation in the prop trading community.

Check review platforms, forums, and social media to see what existing traders are saying about the brand. What are their comments on payouts, rules & customer service? Filter for honest and constructive inputs.

More positive feedback often translates to trustworthiness. Be cautious if you find repeated complaints/red flags.

Profit-share Model

You can get up to 90% share of trading profits depending on the account you choose. Check the details of the challenge program to confirm before you sign up.

Trading Strategy and Rules

Every prop firm has its own set of trading rules or instructions you must follow. These can include limits on daily losses, maximum drawdown, lot sizes, news trading restrictions, etc.

Your trading technique should be in line with the company’s guidelines. Before you enrol, check if their rules would limit your approach or force you to trade in a way you are not used to.

Trading Platform Provider (In-house vs Third-party)

In the prop trading space, some firms use their own in-house trading platforms, while others utilise externally owned tools like Meta Trader.

Proprietary trading platforms are often tailor made with the realities of proprietary trading and needs of its traders in mind. Since the firm controls the software, you experience better compatibility. You get more direct support and quicker issue resolution.

Most importantly, the software is less vulnerable to sudden change in government policies like in the case of Meta Trader and the US financial regulators in early 2024. What happened? Many prop companies who depended on MT4/MT5 lost their license, their business destabilised and gradually closed within a blink.

Thus, it is smart to choose a firm with a modern in-house trading tool such as the RF-Trader. Primarily designed for prop trading, this software is integrated with TradingView charting. It has a live dashboard where you can monitor your performance and trading performance. You also have access to ASK/BID charts, monitor spread history, and more.

Support and Community for Traders

The right prop firm for you should also provide a good support system. Go for firms that offer responsive/friendly/helpful customer service, and strong community.

Choose a company that is interested in the development of its traders. Pick a firm with an engaging community where you can ask questions, interact and learn from experienced traders.

RebelsFunding is an example of one of such firms. RF is rated as one of the most responsive prop companies in the industry. Traders get around-the-clock support. You get help whenever you need it. No delays. Fast human replies and no AI. The firm has a very active forex discord group with over 17k members.

Free Trial

A prop firm demo account gives you the opportunity to evaluate the company’s trading platform, rules, and customer service. It helps you test the firm without risking your money.

As a Canadian user, it is recommended you select a firm with this option.

FAQs
