How it works
From application to funded account — by design.
Selection is deliberate. Every step is written down, applied identically, and optimised for one outcome: consistent, disciplined execution.
- Step 01
Application
Submit your trading background, sample journal entries, and philosophy. Every application is read by the founder.
- Step 02
Evaluation
We review your risk approach, history on XAU/USD, and mindset. The bar is set on process, not on P&L screenshots.
- Step 03
Assessment
A monitored trading assessment against our written playbook and risk framework. Rule compliance is scored first.
- Step 04
Selection
Selected traders sign the Trader Agreement, receive a funded account, and go live under active performance review.
