FX Trader – Prop Firm Account
Location: South Africa – Remote
Compensation: R10,000 per month + 15% of successful trading payouts
Role: FX / Prop Account Trader
About the Role
We are looking for a disciplined and consistently profitable FX trader to manage and trade funded proprietary trading accounts.
This is a performance-focused position for someone who already knows how to trade profitably and, importantly, understands risk management and capital preservation.
You will be trading company-funded accounts. No personal capital is required.
The successful candidate will receive a R10,000 monthly base salary plus 15% commission on trading payouts received by the company.
As account size and performance grow, there will be significant opportunity to increase earnings and responsibility.
Responsibilities
- Trade FX markets using company-funded proprietary trading accounts.
- Identify and execute high-quality trading opportunities.
- Operate strictly within the risk parameters and drawdown limits set by the company and prop firm.
- Protect account capital as the first priority.
- Maintain disciplined position sizing and risk management.
- Monitor open positions and overall account exposure.
- Keep accurate records of trades and trading performance.
- Provide regular reporting on performance, P&L, drawdown and trading activity.
- Follow the agreed trading strategy and risk framework.
- Maintain discipline during losing periods and avoid revenge trading or excessive risk-taking.
What We're Looking For
We are not looking for beginners or traders who are still learning.
Applicants must have a demonstrable track record of trading FX profitably.
You should have:
- Proven experience trading Forex / CFDs.
- Strong understanding of risk management.
- Experience trading funded or proprietary trading accounts is highly desirable.
- Excellent understanding of drawdown management.
- Ability to trade consistently without taking excessive risk.
- Strong understanding of position sizing, stop losses and risk-to-reward.
- Ability to follow strict trading rules.
- Strong emotional discipline.
- Ability to work independently and take responsibility for trading decisions.
Proof of Trading Ability
Applicants must be able to provide evidence of their trading performance.
Screenshots of individual winning trades will not be considered sufficient proof.
We are interested in seeing evidence such as:
- Verified trading statements or account history.
- MT4 / MT5 trading history.
- Prop firm payout certificates together with supporting account performance.
- Myfxbook or similar verified performance records.
- Evidence showing multiple months of trading activity.
- Maximum drawdown.
- Monthly returns.
- Win/loss history.
- Average risk per trade.
We care much more about consistent risk-adjusted returns than one or two unusually profitable months.
Shortlisted applicants may also be required to demonstrate their ability on a test/evaluation account before being given responsibility for larger funded accounts.
Compensation
Base: R10,000 per month
Performance Commission: 15% of trading payouts successfully received by the company from accounts managed by you.
Example:
If your trading generates a R100,000 payout, your performance commission would be R15,000, in addition to your monthly base.
Strong performers will have the opportunity to manage larger accounts and potentially increase their earning potential.
Who This Role Suits
This opportunity is ideal for a trader who:
- Already has a profitable trading strategy.
- Has strong trading ability but limited personal trading capital.
- Wants access to larger funded accounts.
- Is confident enough in their performance to have a significant portion of compensation linked to results.
- Takes risk management seriously.
- Wants to build a longer-term relationship rather than simply trade one account.
