Trading from Leicester, United Kingdom

Trading from Europe puts you at the center of the London session — the single highest-liquidity window in the FX market — with the New York open arriving in your afternoon to extend the trading day.

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: 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.
