Market replay, Oct 21: 1 trade the desk would have backed
From the first step in to the final close, minute by minute.
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, $161.71 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: Crude oil sell
| You pay | $30 (2 contracts) |
|---|---|
| Desk allocation | 5% → 63% |
| Price move | +2.20% in your direction |
| Held | 4 hours |
| You earn | $161.71 (5.4× the fee) |
- You sell 2 contracts of Crude oil at 99.78 and pay the $30 fee. The desk backs it with 5% of your size, stop at 100.08.
- Price 99.66 — the trade is proving itself, so the desk steps up to 8%.
- Price 98.47 — the trade is proving itself, so the desk steps up to 27% and lowers its stop to 99.24.
- Price 97.67 — the trade is proving itself, so the desk steps up to 63% and lowers its stop to 97.94.
- The price pulls back toward the stop: the desk sells part of its position to keep its stop away from the price, down to 18% ($115.79 banked by then).
- The move resumes: the desk buys back, up to 39%.
- The desk exits at 97.59 — profit trailing stop.
- You close at 97.58. Your earnings: $161.71 — 5.4× the fee you paid. $164.15 of it was banked by 6 partial sales.
Replays are how we show the engine honestly: the market already moved, and we only show what the desk would actually have done.
