OANDA has revamped its prop trading program to attract experienced investors by offering more flexible assessment criteria and increasing profit-sharing opportunities to 80%. The changes include lowered profit targets and the removal of minimum trading day requirements, allowing traders to qualify faster. OANDA's initiative comes amid disruptions in the prop trading industry, with other brokers also entering the market. The company believes prop trading could become the future of retail brokers, providing lower barriers to entry and limited downside risk.
