Compensation & Capital Disclosure

This is a performance-based contract role. Traders earn through a profit split on returns they generate — typically 60% to 90% depending on experience and performance tier. Estimated annual earnings range from $50,000 to $200,000+ for consistently profitable traders. Compensation is not a fixed salary or hourly wage; your earnings depend entirely on your trading results. Those who cannot trade profitably will not earn income from this role.

Common Questions

Q: How do I apply?

A: Through the application form linked on this page. The process starts with a short application, followed by a conversation about whether the program is the right fit for your situation and goals. We don't pressure-sell — if it isn't a fit, we'll say so.

Q: Do I need a finance background?

A: No. Most of our successful traders come from outside finance entirely — engineering, the trades, the military, teaching, sales. Pattern recognition and discipline transfer well into trading; a degree in finance does not, particularly.
