$30 in, $363.97 out: the Ethereum trade of Tuesday, Oct 13

One clean long move, the desk climbing from 5% to 100% behind it, and what it paid.

Each trade below is 2 contracts, entered after the move had already started and closed either as it faded or when the desk’s own stop took it out — not the perfect top or bottom. Every step comes from replaying real market prices, minute by minute, through the live Trade Syndication engine.

In total: 9 trades, $270 in fees, $1,153.19 in earnings.

How the desk trades with you

  1. You open a trade and pay a flat fee per contract. That is the most it can cost you.
  2. The desk backs your trade with its own capital — a small allocation at first, stepping up as the trade proves itself, protected by its own stop, which trails the move as it goes your way.
  3. You are paid 90% of what the desk’s allocation makes. If it makes nothing, you are paid nothing.
