What You'll Do
Trade Forex and Crypto markets on firm capital, not your own. Execute rule-based systems with discipline and consistency. Apply strict, position-level risk management on every trade. Maintain a trade journal and review performance regularly. Engage with coaches and the broader trader community. Who Thrives Here Coachable: willing to follow a system before improvising on it. Aligned with a performance-based pay model (no salary, no hourly). US resident with a workable home office setup. Long-term mindset — focused on building a craft over years, not weeks. What We Provide Funded trading accounts with scaling paths up to $400,000. Structured education on Forex/Crypto and risk management. Coaching, performance feedback, and an active trader community. Profit splits ranging from 60% to 90% based on performance tier. 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: How long does it take to get funded? A: It varies. Traders who follow the curriculum and stay disciplined often move into a funded account within a few months of starting the evaluation. Traders who skip the rules or trade emotionally take longer — or never get funded. Q: What's the time commitment? A: Traders who do well typically protect 2–4 hours per day during their local market window. Consistency over time matters more than long hours; we'd rather see ninety minutes daily than ten hours twice a month.
