Compensation & Capital Disclosure

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.
