Frequently asked questions

What is a prop firm or funded account?

It's a company that gives you capital to trade the markets. First you take an evaluation that measures how you trade; if you pass it, they give you a funded account and you share the profits with the firm. See glossary

Is defondeos free?

Do you sell funded accounts?

No. defondeos doesn't sell accounts. We compare prop firms and send you to each one's official site so you buy directly from the firm.

Is the data up to date?

Is it worth buying with a coupon?
