$30 in, $413.60 out: the Dow 30 trade of Wednesday, Oct 7
One clean short 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: 1 trade, $30 in fees, $413.60 in earnings.
How the desk trades with you
- You open a trade and pay a flat fee per contract. That is the most it can cost you.
- 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.
- You are paid 90% of what the desk’s allocation makes. If it makes nothing, you are paid nothing.
Trade 1: Dow 30 sell
| You pay | $30 (2 contracts) |
|---|---|
| Desk allocation | 5% → 100% |
| Price move | +0.94% in your direction |
| Held | 6 hours |
| You earn | $413.60 (13.8× the fee) |
- You sell 2 contracts of Dow 30 at 51,465.00 and pay the $30 fee. The desk backs it with 5% of your size, stop at 51,619.40.
- Price 51,451.00 — the trade is proving itself, so the desk steps up to 7% and lowers its stop to 51,480.44.
- Price 51,443.00 — the trade is proving itself, so the desk steps up to 56% and lowers its stop to 51,453.90.
- Price 51,420.00 — the trade is proving itself, so the desk steps up to 100% and lowers its stop to 51,442.50.
- Momentum slows: the desk banks part of its position and scales back to 80%.
- You close at 50,979.00. Your earnings: $413.60 — 13.8× the fee you paid.
A flat fee, the desk’s capital, and 90% of what that capital makes — that is the whole model.
