Our mission
Onyx Trading was created around a simple idea:
Trading is hard. The rules shouldn't be.
After years of watching talented traders battle confusing payout policies, arbitrary restrictions, hidden limitations, and rules that seemed designed to end careers rather than build them, we decided there had to be a better way.
So we're building it.
A trader-first philosophy
Onyx was founded with a trader-first philosophy: align the firm's success with the trader's success. When traders perform, the firm should want them to keep performing—not look for reasons to slow them down.
That means transparent rules, rapid payouts, realistic risk management, and a clear progression path for traders who consistently demonstrate skill.
Beyond the evaluation
Our vision extends beyond traditional prop trading. The goal isn't simply to create another evaluation program. The goal is to identify exceptional traders, help them scale, and create a pathway toward larger capital opportunities through the Onyx ecosystem.
Will we eliminate every challenge that comes with trading?
Of course not.
If we could do that, we'd be spending our days on a beach somewhere instead of debating drawdown rules and payout structures.
What we can do is remove unnecessary friction so traders can focus on what actually matters: performance.
Whether you're taking your first evaluation or working toward OnyxLive, our mission remains the same:
Find great traders. Fund them. Help them grow.
Because the industry doesn't need another prop firm.
It needs one that's built around trader success.
