## Resource

Prop trading is growing fast, but what does the future really look like for traders? In this episode of Let’s Talk Forex, Alison and Chris are joined by Justin Hertzberg, CEO of FPFX Tech, to discuss the rise of retail prop trading, why brokers are entering the space, and what traders need to understand before choosing a prop firm. We cover prop firm risk, regulation, payouts, trader behaviour, AI, broker-backed prop firms, and why the industry could look very different over the next few years. If you trade with prop firms or are thinking about taking a challenge, this episode is a must.
