Benzinga has announced a partnership with PropShopTrader to host an educational webinar titled "The New Era of Proprietary Trading," scheduled for April 23 at 11:00 AM ET. The event aims to address a persistent challenge in retail trading: the reliance on personal capital while striving for consistency and scalability. By focusing on how modern proprietary trading firms operate, the webinar will provide insights into accessing professional capital and building structured careers across stocks and futures markets.
Jim Simmons, Senior Risk Manager at PropShopTrader, will lead the session, breaking down evaluation models and the transition from risking personal funds to managing firm-backed accounts. The discussion will cover the evolution of retail trading, the definition of proprietary trading, and the rise of multi-asset trading. Attendees will learn about career pathways within prop firms, risk management frameworks used by professionals, and differences between day trading and swing trading approaches. A live walkthrough of the modern trading stack and criteria for choosing a prop firm will also be included.
Structured evaluation programs, which help traders develop discipline, consistency, and risk management skills, will be a key topic. These programs are essential for success in professional trading environments. The webinar is designed for both active traders and those exploring trading as a career, offering practical insights into how multi-asset prop trading models open new opportunities for retail traders.
Interested participants can register on Benzinga.com. The event will be available to audiences on the platform, providing a deeper understanding of transitioning from independent retail trading to managing professional capital. For more details, view the original release on NewMediaWire.
