Prop Firm Trader Income Report: Real Numbers

What funded traders actually take home, with realistic ranges by account size and discipline level. No clickbait, just honest distributions.

The honest answer: most funded traders make less than the marketing material implies, but the distribution has a long right tail.

On a $50k account with disciplined risk, target monthly take-home is typically in the $500–$1,500 range. The traders who scale do so by running multiple accounts, not by getting greedy on one.

All figures in this report are descriptive, not predictive. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
