What you bring is the discipline; the location quietly takes care of the rest.

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 keep my day job while I'm in the program?

A: Yes the program is structured to accommodate working professionals. Most successful candidates trade part-time during the qualification phase and transition into full-time trading once they're funded and consistent.

Q: Do I get tax forms?

A: Yes. Funded traders are paid as independent contractors and receive a 1099 at year-end. We don't withhold taxes; you handle your own quarterly estimates and self-employment filings, which is standard for contract trading roles.
