How a trade pays: GBP/JPY on Friday, Oct 9
A step-by-step look at the allocation ladder, the trailing stop and the payout.
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, $112.35 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.
