What is the difference between a prop trader and a day trader?
A prop trader is someone that is trading someone else’s money, “the firm,” and typically making commissions on the profitable trades they make.
A day trader is someone who buys securities and sells them in the same day. Intra-day trading is a term also used.
A prop trader can be a day-trader if that is the firm or the individuals trading style.
A proprietary trader is one who is involved with transactions with a securities firm that affect the firm’s accounts (or his own linked account within the firm) but not affecting the accounts of the firm’s clients.
Strictly speaking a prop trading firm is one where you would trade the firm’s capital (and only their money). But today the most common so-called “prop firms” are ones where you put up $5,000, $10,000 or more and then you trade using 10:1 intraday leverage. These are also called “trading arcades” by (the) Hoi Poli. (more…)
