Where you trade
The trading experience is fundamentally different between these two firms. Propr operates through its own Proprietary Platform, a terminal specifically built to trade Hyperliquid perpetuals and HIP-3 markets. This setup is designed for high-performance crypto trading with a modern interface. On the other hand, Tradexprop Crypto utilizes DXTrade, a widely recognized third-party platform in the prop firm industry that offers a more traditional multi-window environment and standard charting tools.
Who executes your orders
Propr is managed by Propr Limited, registered in the British Virgin Islands. All accounts are simulated and denominated in USDC, reflecting its crypto-native core. The firm may copy trader signals using its own capital. Tradexprop Crypto is based in Malaysia and operates under the leadership of Dixon Teo. While both provide simulated environments, Tradexprop Crypto focuses on a more conventional broker-like execution model through its integration with DXTrade.
Leverage and margin
Risk management and position sizing are dictated by the following technical limits:
- Propr: Offers a higher ceiling for major assets with 10:1 leverage on BTC, ETH, and SOL. Other crypto assets are limited to 2:1. It also provides leverage for Forex (25:1), Indices (10:1 for SP500), and Gold (8:1). Its drawdown is dynamic: the 1-Step plan uses a fixed floor, while the 2-Step plan trails the highest equity (including floating profit) until it reaches the starting balance.
- Tradexprop Crypto: Provides up to 5:1 leverage on BTC and ETH, with 2:1 for the rest of the crypto catalog. Its risk model is more conservative regarding daily fluctuations, featuring a ±3% Daily Cap which acts as a soft breach (locking the account until the next day). However, its Maximum Drawdown is static, remaining fixed from the starting balance regardless of account growth, which offers more "breathing room" as the account grows compared to a trailing model.
Markets available
The range of tradable instruments defines the trader's scope:
- Propr: A multi-asset environment including Crypto, Stocks, Indices, Commodities, and Forex. It is ideal for traders who want to hedge crypto positions with legacy markets.
- Tradexprop Crypto: Strictly focused on Crypto. Its instrument list includes 25 major pairs such as BTC/USD, SOL/USD, TIA/USD, and ZRO/USD.
What the setup lets you do
Both environments allow for various trading styles but with different technical restrictions:
- Scalping and News Trading: Both allow scalping. However, Propr permits News Trading without restrictions, whereas Tradexprop Crypto strictly prohibits opening positions 3 minutes before or after a news event.
- Automated Trading: Propr allows bots and agents (with limitations on funded accounts to avoid identical "coordinated" trading). Tradexprop Crypto allows EAs but forbids off-the-shelf or third-party bots designed specifically to pass challenges.
- Holding and Inactivity: Both allow holding positions over the weekend. Tradexprop Crypto enforces a 30-day inactivity rule, while Propr has no minimum trading day requirements.
What the setup costs
The cost of execution and the reward structure vary significantly:
- Execution Costs: Propr charges fees per order based on maker/taker execution (ranging from 0.015% to 0.045% for crypto) with no markup. Tradexprop Crypto charges a flat 0.05% of the total notional volume per side.
- Challenge Prices: For a $10,000 account, Tradexprop Crypto is slightly cheaper at $95 (1-Step) vs Propr's $110 (Classic 1-Step).
- Payouts: Propr offers an 80% profit split with on-demand withdrawals and a 24-hour guarantee. Tradexprop Crypto offers a higher 90% profit split, but after the first on-demand payout, subsequent withdrawals are limited to every 30 days.
Better setup for
- Propr is the better setup for high-frequency traders and news traders who require higher leverage (10:1) and access to multi-asset markets (Forex/Stocks) within a crypto-denominated ecosystem.
- Tradexprop Crypto is the better setup for swing traders and crypto specialists who prefer a static drawdown and a higher profit share (90%), provided they do not trade during news events.
