What It Takes To Get Funded by The 5%ers
In episode 223 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Trader and Prop firm founder Gil Ben Hur.
Gil is the founder of The 5%ers prop firm. They are an online prop firm who looks to fund the top 5% of traders. They differentiate from other prop firms by giving you live capital from day 1 and allowing any trading style and having a 6 months evaluation program so short and long term traders can prove their skills to earn a funded account.
