Wednesday, Oct 7 replayed: how the desk would have traded Ethereum
Real prices, realistic entries, and every allocation step — 1 trade, $523.38 in earnings.
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, $523.38 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.

| You pay | $30 (2 contracts) |
|---|---|
| Desk allocation | 5% → 100% |
| Price move | +2.99% in your direction |
| Held | 5 hours |
| You earn | $523.38 (17.4× the fee) |
- You sell 2 contracts of Ethereum at 2,693.99 and pay the $30 fee. The desk backs it with 5% of your size, stop at 2,702.07.
- Price 2,692.45 — the trade is proving itself, so the desk steps up to 7% and lowers its stop to 2,693.22.
- Price 2,691.46 — the trade is proving itself, so the desk steps up to 55% and lowers its stop to 2,692.73.

- Momentum slows: the desk banks part of its position and scales back to 80%.
- You close at 2,613.45. Your earnings: $523.38 — 17.4× the fee you paid.

Times are platform time. Past performance does not guarantee future results — a trade can lose, and earnings can be zero.
