What does it cost to run a prop firm with 100 traders?
Quick answer
At 100 traders, costs are mainly payment fees, platform cost per account, support time, marketing and any payouts. On PropExecutor, 100 accounts fit within the Basic plan's 250 included accounts, or Starter's 50 accounts plus a 100-account pack, with no monthly charge.
Detailed answer
For a firm creating around 100 accounts:
- Platform: on PropExecutor, Starter ($129, 50 accounts) plus a 100-account pack ($200), or Basic ($499, 250 accounts). No monthly fee.
- Payments: a percentage of each sale, set by your processor.
- Support: part-time at this volume.
- KYC: only for traders who reach a payout.
- Payouts: depend on your rules and how many traders pass.
At this size most work can be done in the admin panel without automation: bulk-create accounts, assign each to a trader record and send the Account Number, Password and Server. The main risk is not cost but payouts, so keep the reserve sized for your funded accounts.
Time cost
At 100 traders, the biggest cost is often the founder's time: answering support, reviewing passes and paying out. Saved replies, scheduled payout days and a platform that shows traders their own numbers keep this manageable without hiring.
