What does Profit Split mean in prop trading?
Profit split is the percentage of trading profits a funded trader keeps for themselves after passing a prop firm's evaluation, with the remainder retained by the firm — splits commonly range from 70/30 to 90/10 in the trader's favor, depending on the firm and account tier. Some firms increase the trader's split over time as a reward for consistent, rule-compliant performance.
Profit split is one of several commercial terms — alongside the challenge fee, profit target, and drawdown rules — worth comparing across prop firms rather than treated in isolation.
