Crypto Fund Trader and Propr at a glance

Updated on

The short answer

The choice depends on the infrastructure: Crypto Fund Trader is for those who want to trade directly on Bybit with high leverage (100:1), while Propr is a multi-asset firm with its own terminal and on-demand payouts.

Where they actually differ

  • Platform (The Dealbreaker): Crypto Fund Trader requires you to connect your own Bybit subaccount via API. Propr uses a proprietary terminal with Hyperliquid perpetuals.
  • Assets (Styles): Crypto Fund Trader is strictly limited to USDT crypto futures. Propr allows trading in Forex (25:1 leverage), Stocks, Indices, and Commodities alongside Crypto.
  • Leverage (Risk): Crypto Fund Trader offers the native Bybit leverage up to 100:1. Propr is much more restrictive, capping crypto at 10:1 for majors (BTC, ETH, SOL) and 2:1 for the rest.
  • Payout Frequency (Payout): Propr allows withdrawals on demand with no minimum waiting period. Crypto Fund Trader generally requires 15 traded days (reducible to 7 with an add-on), except for Instant/Break accounts under specific conditions.
  • Pricing (Price): For a 100k account, Propr's "Turbo" option is significantly cheaper ($450) than Crypto Fund Trader's 1-Phase ($619), although the Turbo plan has a much tighter 3% maximum drawdown.

Where they are basically the same

  • Risk Rules: Both use daily and maximum drawdown limits, though the specific calculations (balance-based vs. equity-based) vary by plan.
  • Styles: Both allow EAs, news trading, and weekend holding, provided they follow "normal" trading behavior and avoid latency exploitation.
  • Payout Methods: Both firms primarily use Crypto for payouts, though Crypto Fund Trader also mentions Transfers.
  • Refunds: Neither firm offers a registration fee refund.
