MEDIA ALERT | NEW DAY PROCLAMATION | NATIONAL PROP TRADING DAY | September 28
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New annual observance celebrates the innovation, discipline, and entrepreneurial spirit powering modern proprietary trading and financial markets.
Mandan, ND — National Day Calendar® has officially added National Prop Trading Day to its registry, marking September 28 as the annual day of recognition for the proprietary trading industry. Founded by Greg Khojikian in 2026, the observance honors the traders, firms, educators, and technology innovators who continue to drive progress and liquidity across modern global financial markets.
Proprietary ("prop") trading represents a vital segment of the financial ecosystem where firms allocate their own capital to market participants, enabling traders to hone their skills without taking on personal capital risk. National Prop Trading Day highlights the dedication, rigorous risk management, and technological breakthroughs behind funded trading accounts.
"An industry that opened the markets to individual talent deserves a day of its own," said Greg Khojikian, founder of National Prop Trading Day. September 28 was chosen as a key moment in the financial calendar to pause and reflect on the craft behind the markets—focusing on risk management, education, and the disciplined process required to succeed."
