Built by Traders,
For Traders
PopxFund was founded in 2021 by institutional traders who were tired of seeing talented retail traders locked out of real capital. We built the firm we always wished existed.
We Saw the Problem.
We Built the Solution.
In 2021, Alex Mercer and Priya Nair left their institutional trading careers with one shared frustration: the best retail traders in the world were being held back by a single thing — lack of capital.
They had seen it firsthand. Traders with better strategies than most hedge fund managers, grinding away on $500 accounts, unable to scale because they simply didn't have the bankroll. The prop firm industry existed, but it was riddled with unfair rules, hidden gotchas, and firms that seemed designed to collect fees rather than fund traders.
So they built PopxFund — a prop firm with transparent rules, fast payouts, and a genuine interest in trader success. No consistency requirements designed to trip you up. No rule changes mid-challenge. No payout delays.
Three years later, we've paid out over $2.8 million to more than 14,200 traders across 87 countries. And we're just getting started.

Our Core Values
Full Transparency
No hidden rules, no fine print surprises. Every rule, fee, and condition is published clearly before you pay a single dollar.

Fast account activation, fast payouts, fast support. We respect your time because every hour matters in trading.
