  3. In brief, they just give you capital to trade with, you pass an evaluation and you pay a small evaluation fee depending on how big the account capital is, once you pass the evaluation they give you the account and you are allowed to trade with 100% of the capital but there are some drawdown rules and if you reach a certain amount of losses you "blow" the account, you get like 90% percent of the profits for like the first 10 profitable trades depends on which prop firm you use and after that i think its like 50%, that's all i know about prop firms.
