PROP TRADING
What is prop trading?+
Prop trading generally describes trading under a firm's capital or simulated evaluation structure, subject to that firm's contract and risk rules.
How does a prop-firm evaluation work?+
A prop-firm evaluation is a rule-based assessment. A trader usually needs to meet performance objectives while staying within limits such as daily loss and maximum drawdown.
Are prop-firm rules the same everywhere?+
No. Targets, drawdown calculations, news rules, payout terms and account structures vary, and providers can change them. Read the current official terms before paying.
What is the difference between a demo evaluation and a funded account?+
An evaluation tests performance under stated rules. A funded-stage account is governed by a separate contract and may still be simulated. Verify the provider's exact structure and current terms.
RISK
What is daily drawdown?+
Daily drawdown is the maximum loss permitted within a provider-defined day. The reset time, calculation base and treatment of open trades can differ.
What is maximum drawdown?+
Maximum drawdown is the total permitted decline in account equity or balance. It may be static or may move with account performance.
What happens if I break a drawdown rule?+
A breach commonly ends the evaluation or account under that provider's terms, even if a profit target was reached earlier.
Can MARKOS guarantee that I will pass a prop-firm challenge?+
No. MARKOS cannot guarantee profits, funding, payouts or evaluation success. Trading outcomes depend on risk, execution and rules outside MARKOS's control.
MARKOS
Is MARKOS a prop firm?+
No. MARKOS is a trading education and community platform; it does not present itself as a prop firm.
Does MARKOS provide trading signals?+
MARKOS focuses on education, reasoning and live process. It does not promise a signal service or guaranteed entries.
Do I need a large personal trading account to learn with MARKOS?+
No large personal account is required to study process. Any decision to trade or purchase an evaluation should be based on your own circumstances and risk tolerance.
How do I contact MARKOS?+
Use the Contact page and select the topic that best matches membership, indicators, partnerships, team or technical support.
INDICATORS
Do MARKOS indicators automatically place trades?+
No. Indicators are decision-support tools. They do not replace judgment, risk management or automatically guarantee profitable execution.
Can an indicator remove trading risk?+
No. An indicator can organize information, but it cannot remove market risk, execution risk or the effect of changing conditions.
INDIA
Can Indian traders use prop firms?+
Provider structures, instruments, platforms and payment arrangements vary. Indian traders should verify current Indian law and authoritative regulatory guidance before participating; MARKOS does not provide legal or tax advice.
What prop-firm rules should Indian traders check before paying?+
Read the provider's current official terms—not just the headline profit target. Check how daily loss and maximum drawdown are calculated (including open losses, fees and reset time), breach consequences, minimum trading days, news or overnight restrictions, payout conditions, the contracting entity, supported instruments and payment route. Rules and legal or tax treatment can differ; verify current authoritative guidance for your situation. MARKOS is not a prop firm and cannot provide legal or tax advice or guarantee an evaluation result.
What is forex trading in India, in simple words?+
Forex means exchanging or trading currency instruments. For Indian residents, legality depends on the specific instrument, purpose, authorised counterparty and venue. RBI guidance says permitted electronic forex transactions should use RBI-authorised ETPs or recognised exchanges under applicable terms. This is general information, not legal advice.
Which forex pairs are allowed in India?+
Do not infer that every pair shown by an overseas app is available to Indian residents. Check the current RBI guidance, recognised-exchange contract specifications and authorised intermediary for the particular product and purpose. Rules can change, so verify directly with official sources before acting.
What is the best time to trade forex pairs in India?+
There is no universally best time: venue hours, instrument, liquidity and your own plan matter. For exchange-traded currency derivatives, check the current exchange schedule and contract details rather than assuming overseas spot-FX hours apply. More activity can also mean faster price changes and risk; this is not a trading recommendation.
Futures vs forex: what is the difference?+
Futures are standardised contracts traded on an exchange; forex may refer to different currency products and venues. Compare contract terms, expiry, margin, hours, costs and applicable rules. The phrase ‘futures vs forex which is better’ has no universal answer and is not a personal recommendation.
Is crypto trading legal in India?+
A simple yes or no can be misleading because crypto assets, payment use, exchange services, taxation and cross-border activity raise separate questions. Check current official requirements, including tax guidance, and obtain qualified advice for your circumstances. An app being accessible does not establish authorisation or suitability.
How can I check whether a broker is authorised in India?+
Verify the exact legal entity and the relevant product or venue against official regulator and exchange records. Do not treat a search result, influencer recommendation, app listing or absence from an alert list as proof of authorisation. RBI notes its forex alert list is not exhaustive.
Can you name the best prop firms in India for 2026?+
MARKOS does not publish a universal ‘best’ or ‘top’ ranking. Provider availability, product structure, fees, drawdown rules and payout terms can change. Compare current official contracts and independently check legal, payment and tax considerations before paying; a ranking is not a guarantee of safety or payout.
What are the best prop firms for beginners?+
There is no provider that is best for every beginner. Before paying, check whether the rules are understandable, the evaluation and funded-stage structures are clearly described, the fees are affordable to lose, and the current contract explains drawdown, restrictions, payout conditions and dispute handling. Do not treat a ranking or a passed challenge as guaranteed income.
