But What Are Futures?
The markets where prop traders compete
Futures are contracts to buy or sell assets at a future date and price. You're essentially making a judgement on whether something will go up or down and you can profit from both directions.
Going Long (Buying)
You believe the price will go UP. Like speculating on your team securing Elder Drake and closing out the game, or your team winning pistol round and snowballing the half.
Going Short (Selling)
You believe the price will go DOWN. Like playing for picks when behind, or eco-fragging in Valorant to drain enemy economy, profiting from their weakness.

Misconceptions & Fears
Why prop firms
Traditional prop firms have been around for decades on Wall Street — they're companies that trade with their own capital and hire skilled traders to manage it. But here's the problem: getting hired at a Wall Street prop firm usually requires years of experience, connections, or an expensive finance degree.
That's where modern prop firms like Tradeify come in. We've democratized this model.
Instead of needing a Wall Street background, anyone can take our skills-based challenge. Pass it, and you get access to our capital — just like those Wall Street traders.
FAQs
What’s the difference between futures and the stock market?
Futures are a way to predict the movement of the “normal” funds. For example, if you think the S&P is going to have a positive movement, futures allows you to trade the relative contracts. A futures contract is a stipulation to buy or sell at a later point in time, similar to options.
What is a prop firm?
A prop firm, otherwise known as a “proprietary firm”, allows you to trade the futures market WITHOUT using your own money. You can only lose the amount that you pay to create the account. A prop firm provides you with simulated money to start, until you prove over a period of time that you have the skills deserving of real cash – but this comes later. Imagine being able to trade with $150,000 without actually having it!
Can I lose more than my initial investment?
You can only lose the amount that you paid to purchase the account, never any of your extra personal funds.
Can I trade on mobile?
We recommend trading on your personal computer, however the website is accessible via mobile. There is no app at this moment in time.
What hours are futures open?
Futures are tradable from Sunday at 6PM ET until Friday at 5PM ET. There is a daily break from 4-5PM ET, and futures are closed all day Saturday.
What's tradable on the futures market?
You can trade many available symbols! Common ones include NMU (Nasdaq), ESU/ETU (S&P), GCZ (Gold) and so much more!
