NASDAQ Futures · Funded Accounts

Trade the firm's money. Two hours a day.

I'm Dhruv Tangri, a funded NQ futures trader. I'll show you how to trade with a prop firm's capital instead of your own savings, from anywhere in the world, in the first two hours after the market opens.

Prop firms, explained

You don't need thousands to start

Most people think trading takes a big account. With a proprietary trading firm (prop firm), you trade the firm's capital. You pay a small fee to take an evaluation, prove you can follow their rules, and then trade a funded account and keep most of the profits.

Trading your own account

Your savings on the line

  • Need thousands of dollars to trade NQ properly
  • Every loss comes out of your own pocket
  • A bad week can wipe out years of savings
Trading with a prop firm

The firm's capital

  • Start with an evaluation fee, not a large deposit
  • Get access to accounts worth $50K, $100K or more
  • Your risk is limited to the fee if you fail
  • Keep most of the profits you make
  1. Pick a firm

    Choose a futures prop firm like Topstep and an account size that fits your goals.

  2. Pass the evaluation

    Hit a profit target while staying inside the daily loss and drawdown limits.

  3. Get funded

    Once you pass, you trade a funded account with the firm's money.

  4. Get paid

    Request payouts on your profits. The firm keeps a small share; you keep the rest.

Fees, rules and profit splits vary by firm and change over time. Always read the firm's current terms before signing up.

Proof of payouts

Real payouts, real accounts

These are payouts I've received from two prop firms, Topstep and MyFundedFutures. I didn't fund these accounts with thousands of my own dollars. I passed the evaluations and got paid.

Your trading day

Done by 11:30 AM Eastern

The NASDAQ futures market moves the most right after the New York stock market opens. That's when I trade: from 9:30 to 11:30 AM Eastern Time. Two focused hours, then I'm done for the day.

You don't need to quit your job or watch charts all day. You need a plan, a routine, and those two hours.

And it doesn't matter where you live. If you have a laptop and an internet connection, you can trade from anywhere in the world.

About me

Hi, I'm Dhruv

I've been trading for about three years, focused on NASDAQ-100 futures (NQ and MNQ) through funded prop firm accounts at Topstep and MyFundedFutures. I've received payouts, and I'm still working to scale up, so you'll see the real process, not a highlight reel.

I'm also a finance major in college. I study the markets in class and trade them every morning.

I started Tangri Trades to help people get into trading the smart way: without risking their savings, and with a routine that fits around the rest of their life.
