Compensation & Capital Disclosure

Pay is structured as a profit split on trading returns, not a salary. Profitable traders typically retain 60% to 90% of the gains they generate, with annual earnings landing between $50,000 and $200,000+ for those who maintain consistency. Traders who do not produce profitable results do not generate earnings under this model it is a performance-based role in the most direct sense.

Common Questions

Q: Can I trade more than one strategy at once? A: Once funded and consistent, traders can layer in additional strategies within the firm's risk framework. New traders should master one system before adding complexity diluting your focus too early is one of the fastest ways to underperform.

Q: What's the most common reason traders fail out? A: Discretionary deviation. Traders who follow the system get funded; traders who decide they know better than the system in the moment usually do not. We screen for coachability for that reason.
