Prop trading firms want to close retail trading’s knowledge gap

Retail investors answered just 42% of investment-knowledge questions while 63% considered themselves highly knowledgeable, revealing a skills gap. Prop-trading firms like LEVERAGED now combine funded-account evaluations with live training, courses, coaching, market reviews and AI tools such as ClayAI to support risk management and decision-making. Their low-cost evaluation programs verify trading competence before allocating larger capital, and firms earn fees from these assessments regardless of trader outcomes.
