Welcome to EdgeProp Trading!
This document outlines our Code of Conduct and Trader Rules – the standards all EdgeProp traders are expected to uphold.
We've organized it into clear sections so you can easily follow along. The goal is to ensure a fair, transparent, and growth-oriented environment for everyone. By understanding these guidelines, you'll know exactly what it takes to succeed here as both an evaluation-phase trader and a funded trader.
We'll cover our funding philosophy, the evaluation process, expectations for professional behavior, trading rules and risk limits, platform use and technical readiness, communication standards, forbidden behaviors, and the core values that lead to long-term success.
Throughout, we'll highlight the differences between what's expected during the evaluation phase versus once you become a funded trader. We'll also include examples and best practices to illustrate how to apply these rules in real situations.
Let's dive in and set the foundation for your trading journey with EdgeProp!
Funding Philosophy: A Partnership Mindset
At EdgeProp, we view our relationship with traders as a partnership. When we fund a trader, we are essentially investing in you like a business partner – entrusting you with our capital to grow it responsibly.
That's why we operate with a single-step evaluation. Once you demonstrate discipline, skill, and consistency, you are eligible for funding without any additional stages or hidden requirements. We believe in rewarding traders who can prove they're ready for responsibility.
This approach means we look for traders who embody the same qualities we'd expect from a trusted partner: discipline, professionalism, and alignment with our goals.
Think of it from an investor's perspective — if you were going to fund someone with your own money, you'd only choose a person who is reliable, consistent, and accountable. We apply the same standard.
Trust and Alignment
We only fund traders who show they can be trusted with our capital and who align with our values. This involves more than just trading skill. In fact, the EdgeProp Evaluation is not just about hitting profit targets – it's also about evaluating you as a person and as a potential partner.
We look at more than your results:
- Are you respectful and professional in your communication?
- Do you follow the rules and put in consistent effort?
- Are you prepared, self-aware, and composed during volatile market conditions?
These are questions we consider seriously, because funding a trader who lacks integrity or discipline is not a smart move for either side. We want to fund professionals who can grow with us long-term, not short-term gamblers.
Treat Our Capital Like Your Own
Once you become a funded trader, we expect you to treat the firm's money with the same care and respect as your own savings. That means exercising prudent risk management and avoiding reckless behavior.
If the answer is no, then it's not a trade you should take with firm capital. We're looking for traders who make calculated, disciplined decisions — those who understand that the goal is to protect and grow capital steadily, not to chase short-term wins. When you succeed consistently and responsibly, we succeed together — that's a true win-win partnership.
Analogy – Hiring a Professional
Consider how you'd hire a contractor to remodel your home. You'd verify their experience, check their professionalism, and make sure they respect your instructions and budget before trusting them with the job.
EdgeProp applies the same logic when funding traders. We carefully evaluate every candidate to ensure they are capable of managing capital and respecting our rules.
Being accepted for funding isn't "buying a service" — it's earning the trust to operate with firm capital. Our Code of Conduct exists to protect this partnership and to establish the framework for mutual success between EdgeProp and every trader who joins our program.
Trader Evaluation Process – Earning Funding
Before trading firm capital, you must first prove yourself in our one-step evaluation. Understanding the evaluation rules is essential, as they are designed to ensure you can trade profitably and responsibly within defined risk limits.
At EdgeProp, we keep the process simple and transparent. There's no second phase or hidden requirement — just one clear goal: demonstrate that you can reach the profit target while following the rules, maintaining discipline, and managing risk like a professional. For a standard $50,000 evaluation account, the profit target is $3,000, and passing this step means you're ready to manage firm capital directly.
| Parameter | Value ($50K Account) |
|---|---|
| Profit Target | $3,000 |
| Trailing Drawdown Start | $47,500 |
| Minimum Trading Days | 7 days |
| Daily Loss Limit | None (self-regulated) |
| Safety Net | $52,600 |
During the evaluation, the key risk parameter is the Trailing Drawdown, which protects both the trader and the firm. The trailing drawdown for a $50,000 account begins at $47,500 and moves upward as your account grows. For example, if your balance reaches $52,000, your trailing level adjusts to $49,500. If the account ever closes below that level, the evaluation ends. We do not enforce a daily loss limit — instead, we expect you to self-regulate risk exposure and trade with responsibility, as you would with your own funds. The only limits are those that define professionalism: control, discipline, and respect for the capital you manage.
The focus of our evaluation is consistency, not luck. It's not enough to hit the target with a single large trade — we want to see stable performance over time. For that reason, a trader must complete at least 7 active trading days before qualifying for funding, even if the profit target is reached earlier.
Discipline is the foundation of everything. The way you reach your profits matters as much as the profits themselves. A trader who risks 1–2% per trade and reaches the goal through patience and technical precision shows the mindset of a professional. In contrast, an oversized, high-risk trade that happens to work once is not a sign of skill — it's a sign of gambling. We expect you to trade as if you were already funded, treating the evaluation as a live test of how you'll manage capital long term. At EdgeProp, consistent execution always outweighs one big win.
Once you reach the profit target, respect the drawdown limits, and complete the minimum trading days, you officially pass the EdgeProp Evaluation. At that moment, you transition into a funded trading account, where capital is allocated to you and profits are shared. Funded traders keep 100% of their first $5,000 in profits, and 90% thereafter, while the firm assumes the downside risk beyond the trailing threshold. This is where your partnership with EdgeProp truly begins — you trade responsibly, we provide the capital, and both sides share in the growth.
The evaluation phase exists for a reason: it ensures we only fund traders who can perform with discipline and emotional control. It's not just a test — it's preparation for real trading success. If you can manage risk, follow structure, and stay patient during the evaluation, you're already trading like a professional. At EdgeProp, we're not looking for luck; we're looking for consistency — and that's what defines a funded trader.
Expectations: Evaluation Phase vs. Funded Traders
We hold every trader to a high professional standard. However, there are key differences in what we look for during the evaluation phase compared to what we expect once you become a funded trader. Understanding this distinction is essential, because the habits you develop during evaluation are exactly the ones that determine your success once capital is on the line.
During the Evaluation Phase, you are trading in a simulated environment, but your behavior is treated as if you were managing real capital. The main objective is not just to reach the profit target — it's to prove that you can do so consistently and responsibly. We are observing more than your trading results; we are evaluating your discipline, mindset, and overall conduct. Passing the evaluation means you've shown that you can follow the rules, handle drawdowns maturely, and execute your strategy with focus and emotional control.
Traders who succeed here treat the evaluation with the seriousness of a live account. They understand that every decision reflects their readiness for real funding. If you break rules, trade recklessly, or chase losses, it doesn't just fail the evaluation — it shows a lack of the temperament needed for professional trading. The best approach is to use the evaluation as a testing ground for your discipline: respect your trailing drawdown, stay patient, follow your plan, and build habits that can sustain a long trading career. Every trade, win or loss, is an opportunity to prove your professionalism.
Once you pass and become a Funded Trader, everything becomes real — not just the profits, but also the responsibility. You are now trading with EdgeProp's firm capital, and your results directly reflect on the partnership we've built. The same core principles still apply: respect the trailing drawdown, stay consistent, and maintain a professional attitude. The only difference is that now you're sharing in real profits, and every decision carries real financial impact. Your mindset should shift from "proving yourself" to "protecting and growing capital."
We recommend approaching your first days as a funded trader with caution and precision. Many professionals start with smaller position sizes or micro contracts, even after passing evaluation, to recalibrate and get a feel for real execution. The goal is not to rush, but to stabilize. Preserving capital early on is far more important than chasing large wins. Each trade should serve one purpose — to strengthen your track record and reinforce trust in your discipline. Remember that a funded account can be terminated the same way as an evaluation account if risk rules are violated, so maintaining self-control is critical.
You'll also interact more frequently with the firm as a funded trader — for payouts, account management, and performance reviews. This is where your professionalism extends beyond charts. Clear, respectful communication with our team is part of what defines a true partner at EdgeProp. We value traders who can handle both market pressure and interpersonal communication with the same level of composure.
Example Scenario: You've just passed the evaluation with disciplined trading on the E-mini S&P (ES). On your first day funded, major economic data hits, and the market becomes extremely volatile. An impulsive reaction might be to jump in with the same or larger size, hoping to capitalize on the volatility. A professional response, however, is to slow down, reduce position size, or even stand aside until conditions stabilize. You remind yourself that now you're managing firm capital, and protecting it is your top priority.
In short, the evaluation phase is about earning funding through discipline, while the funded phase is about sustaining success through discipline. The standards remain the same — the difference is the level of responsibility. If you treat the evaluation like real trading and the funded account like a business, you'll thrive within the EdgeProp ecosystem.
Professionalism and Respect
One of our core principles at EdgeProp Trading is maintaining a professional, respectful environment for every trader and staff member. Whether you're communicating with support, engaging with fellow traders, or sharing your experience on social media, we expect you to uphold the highest standards of professionalism. The way you communicate reflects not only on you but on the entire EdgeProp community.
Professional conduct begins with respect. Every interaction — whether through chat, email, or Discord — should be courteous, calm, and constructive. Frustration is a natural part of trading, but emotional outbursts or aggressive language have no place here. A true professional can express disagreement or disappointment with composure. Think of it as working in a high-performance trading firm — because that's exactly what EdgeProp is. Our traders are expected to behave with the same discipline and professionalism that they bring to the markets. Negative remarks, rudeness, or personal attacks will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Following procedures and respecting official channels is equally important. All of our internal processes — such as payout requests, account issues, or technical reports — exist for fairness and efficiency. A responsible trader takes the time to read and follow the provided guidelines rather than bypassing them. For example, if there's a technical issue, submit a support ticket through the dashboard or via [email protected] instead of sending multiple messages across different platforms. These systems are designed to help you as quickly as possible. By respecting them, you help maintain a smooth and professional environment for everyone.
Communication within the community should always be constructive and solution-focused. You are welcome to share your trading experiences, discuss strategies, or express different market views — but do so respectfully and without hostility. Debate the idea, not the person. A healthy community thrives on thoughtful conversation, not on mockery or competition. Before posting or replying, ask yourself, "Is this helpful or respectful?" Providing insights or asking sincere questions adds value; criticism without substance or sarcasm does not. Maintaining a calm, fact-based tone shows maturity — a quality that separates professional traders from emotional participants.
We have zero tolerance for harassment, hate speech, or discrimination of any kind. This includes comments or behavior that attack someone's race, gender, nationality, religion, or personal identity. Any form of intimidation, bullying, or sustained hostility toward another trader or staff member will result in immediate removal from the program. We are committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and fair community. If you ever experience or witness harassment, report it through the appropriate channel. Every report is taken seriously, and decisive action is taken against those who violate this rule. Respecting others is not optional — it's the foundation of a professional trading culture.
As an EdgeProp trader, you also represent the firm in the wider trading world. Your public behavior, whether on forums, YouTube, Discord, or social media, reflects on the entire community. We encourage you to be proud of your journey and to share your experience honestly, but always with integrity and respect. Publicly posting misleading information, venting frustration online, or sharing private company communications without permission is strictly prohibited. If you have a concern or disagreement, address it directly with our team — privately and professionally. Transparency and cooperation are always welcomed, but public disparagement damages trust and community morale.
Professional Communication Example: "Hi, I encountered a platform disconnect at 10:15 AM which caused me to exit a trade late. Could you please check what happened and advise me on next steps? Thank you." — This tone is calm and factual, allowing our team to investigate and assist you efficiently.
At EdgeProp, professionalism isn't limited to trading skill — it extends to how you carry yourself as part of our firm. Treat others with the same respect you expect to receive. Stay calm, speak with intention, and represent both yourself and EdgeProp with pride. Every trader here contributes to the culture we are building — one based on respect, integrity, and growth.
Technical Preparedness and Self-Reliance
Trading is not only a test of strategy and psychology — it is also a test of your technical readiness and self-reliance. At EdgeProp Trading, we expect our traders to operate like professionals: independent, prepared, and capable of managing their own trading environment. A true trader understands that success depends not just on reading the market, but also on mastering the tools and systems that make trading possible.
Every trader is responsible for maintaining a reliable, well-functioning setup. This means using stable hardware, a fast and dependable internet connection, and properly configured trading software. If your computer crashes or your internet drops frequently, it's your responsibility to address these issues before you start trading. Think of it as running a business — you wouldn't expect a professional pilot to blame their aircraft for a failed flight. Likewise, your trading setup must be reliable enough to perform under pressure. A stable platform and connection are not optional; they are the foundation of every serious trading operation.
Before entering the evaluation or a funded account, you must know your trading platform thoroughly. EdgeProp operates with professional-level infrastructure and uses Rithmic as its data and execution backbone. Most traders connect through platforms such as ATAS, Bookmap, or Jigsaw Daytradr, each offering unique analytical and execution features. It is your job to become fully proficient with your chosen platform. You should understand how to connect your Rithmic credentials, how to monitor open positions and order flow, how to flatten all trades quickly, and how to recognize and interpret order rejection or connection messages. We provide detailed guides and Help Center articles for each platform — study them carefully. By the time you are trading under the EdgeProp evaluation, and especially once funded, you are expected to be fully fluent in the platform you use. When a technical issue arises, you should be able to either resolve it or describe it clearly so that support can assist you effectively.
Preparedness also means having contingency plans. Even with the best setup, technical failures can happen and how you respond reveals your professionalism. Traders should always have backup options for internet access, such as a mobile hotspot or tethered connection, in case the main network fails. It's also recommended to install R|Trader Pro, Rithmic's own order management tool, as an emergency platform for closing or monitoring positions if your primary platform disconnects. In the event of power instability, a laptop or battery backup can keep you operational until positions are secured. The key is to stay calm and act quickly. For example, if your charts stop loading, a prepared trader switches to their backup connection or opens R|Trader Pro to flatten trades — not panic or blame the situation. We notice the difference between those who prepare and those who don't. Traders who handle such moments smoothly demonstrate the kind of composure we value in professionals.
Another essential trait is the commitment to continuous learning. Markets evolve, software updates roll out, and technology improves — and so must you. EdgeProp provides educational resources, help articles, and platform walkthroughs, but it is up to each trader to use them. Self-reliance means trying to understand a problem before escalating it. For instance, if you encounter a connection error in ATAS or Bookmap, first check the connection guide or the Help Center article. If the problem persists, contact support and include the steps you've already taken to troubleshoot. A message like, "I followed the setup guide and restarted my platform, but the issue continues — here's what I see on screen," tells us you are proactive and serious. In contrast, "Platform not working, please fix" signals a lack of initiative. The traders who learn, adapt, and seek answers are the ones who grow fastest.
Finally, every EdgeProp trader is expected to approach challenges with a problem-solving mindset. Trading is a performance profession where conditions can change without warning — technical hiccups, volatility spikes, or unexpected platform behaviors are part of the job. Professionals remain calm, assess the situation, and take action based on logic, not emotion. If a trading day turns chaotic or technology fails, focus on managing the risk and protecting capital, not assigning blame. Restart your system, check your connection, open your backup, and move forward. A trader who reports, "I had a disconnect, but I flattened through R|Trader Pro and reconnected successfully" shows resilience and independence — the exact mindset we look for when deciding who's ready to scale.
In short, take full ownership of your trading operation. Be prepared, informed, and in control of your environment. The more independent you are in handling your tools and challenges, the more confidence we have in you as a professional. Trading with EdgeProp is not just about passing an evaluation — it's about developing the habits of a trader who can operate confidently in any condition.
Trading Rules and Risk Management
At EdgeProp Trading, every trader operates within a structured risk framework designed to protect both the trader and the firm's capital. These rules apply differently during the Evaluation Phase and the Funded Stage, reflecting the increased responsibility that comes with managing firm capital. Understanding and respecting these limits is essential, not only for compliance but for developing the mindset of a professional trader.
Evaluation Phase Rules
During the Evaluation Phase, the focus is on proving consistency, emotional control, and risk awareness. Every trader begins with a defined profit target, a trailing drawdown limit, and a clear trading structure. For example, a $50,000 evaluation account has a profit target of $3,000, and the trailing drawdown starts at $47,500, moving upward as the balance grows. If your equity ever closes below this trailing level, the account fails automatically. There is no daily loss limit, which means you have full autonomy — and full responsibility — over how you manage risk. The expectation is that you trade with the same discipline you would apply to your own capital.
You must complete at least seven active trading days before being eligible for funding, ensuring that your results are based on consistent performance rather than a few lucky trades. There is no Consistency Rule during evaluation, but we strongly encourage steady, repeatable performance. Reaching the target through structured trading, controlled sizing, and emotional balance is what proves readiness for the next level. Oversized trades, impulsive decisions, or gambling behavior will not lead to success, even if the profit target is reached.
Funded Trader Rules
Once you become a Funded Trader, the structure evolves to include additional risk-control mechanisms that align with real capital management. In funded accounts, you continue operating under the trailing drawdown, but several new rules now apply.
Consistency Rule: The first is the Consistency Rule, which ensures that your profitability is stable and repeatable. Your best day may not exceed 40% of your total realized profit in the payout period. This protects both the trader and the firm by encouraging even performance and preventing payout requests based on unsustainable volatility. Consistency demonstrates that you have a genuine edge, not just temporary success.
Scaling Rule (Half → Full): Another key element of the funded stage is the Scaling Rule. Until you reach the Safety Net, you may trade only half of your maximum contract limit. Once your account surpasses the Safety Net level, you unlock full size starting the next full session. For example, in a $50,000 funded account, you may trade up to five contracts until your peak balance reaches $52,600. After that, you are allowed to use the full ten contracts. Violations must be corrected immediately. If corrected quickly, the penalty is typically a reset to the previous end-of-day balance and a mandatory five-day compliance period before the next payout. However, repeated or intentional violations can lead to full account closure and forfeiture of profits. This rule ensures traders scale only after demonstrating stable growth.
30% MAE Rule (Maximum Adverse Excursion): The 30% MAE Rule applies exclusively to funded traders. It limits how much unrealized loss you can carry on any single open trade. At any moment, your open loss cannot exceed 30% of your profit balance at the start of the day. For example, if your funded 50K account begins the day with $4,000 in realized profit, your maximum open loss on a single trade is $1,200. If your cushion doubles beyond the Safety Net (for example, reaching $5,200), your MAE limit increases to 50% from the next session. This prevents traders from allowing profitable accounts to suffer large intraday reversals and encourages controlled, professional execution.
Economic News Restrictions
To maintain fairness and realistic conditions, all traders — both in evaluation and funding — must comply with Economic News Restrictions. Positions must be fully closed at least five minutes before any scheduled high-impact news release, and no trades (open or close) are allowed from five minutes before until two minutes after the event. High-impact releases include Non-Farm Payrolls, CPI, FOMC rate decisions, Retail Sales, GDP, and other key economic indicators. Violations during evaluation lead to automatic failure, while violations in funded accounts trigger an audit and potential suspension. Event times are displayed in Central Time (CT) within the EdgeProp Dashboard → Resources → Economic Calendar, and it is the trader's responsibility to check this schedule daily.
Product and Session Restrictions
Funded traders must also respect product and session restrictions. EdgeProp provides access to all major CME Group products, including equity indices (ES, NQ, YM, RTY, MES, MNQ), energy (CL, NG, MCL), metals (GC, SI, MGC), FX, and agricultural or interest rate futures. All trading must remain intraday only — overnight and weekend positions are prohibited. All trades must be closed by 3:10 PM Central Time, and automatic liquidation begins at 3:08 PM. Positions may be reopened at the next session's open, typically at 5:00 PM CT on Sunday evening. Agricultural and livestock products have shorter sessions, and traders must verify these schedules in advance. Failure to close on time results in automatic liquidation and potential account review.
Underlying all these policies is the philosophy of risk-managed professionalism. Every trade should include a defined stop-loss, reasonable position sizing, and a clear plan for when to stop trading. Avoid revenge trading or doubling down after losses. Likewise, avoid excessive trading after reaching daily or weekly targets. Knowing when to step back is a sign of strength, not weakness. Professional traders preserve their edge by protecting both capital and mental focus.
Finally, every EdgeProp trader is encouraged to maintain a trading journal, documenting entries, exits, and emotions. Reflection helps identify patterns, strengths, and weaknesses — the foundation of long-term consistency.
In summary, EdgeProp's trading rules are not obstacles but a structure for success. During evaluation, they test your discipline and awareness; in funding, they prepare you to operate as a professional managing real capital. Traders who respect these rules don't just stay funded — they build the mindset of a true professional capable of scaling in any market environment.
Unacceptable Behaviors (Don'ts)
Just as we have expectations for professional conduct, there are also clear lines that must never be crossed. Certain behaviors undermine the integrity of our trading environment and will not be tolerated. Crossing them can lead to immediate disqualification from the evaluation, termination of a funded account, and, in serious cases, a permanent ban.
The first rule is simple — handle communication professionally. Traders are expected to address issues privately and respectfully. Spreading false or negative information about the firm, its staff, or other traders in public spaces such as social media, forums, or chat groups is unprofessional and damaging. Constructive feedback is always welcome, but airing grievances publicly or sharing private correspondence without permission violates trust. If something isn't clear or fair in your view, contact support through official channels. Open, respectful communication will always be heard; public complaints or leaks will not.
There is also zero tolerance for harassment, hate speech, or discrimination. Any form of bullying, insults, slurs, or hostile behavior directed at another trader or a staff member leads to immediate removal. It doesn't matter if it happens in a message, call, or group chat — respect is non-negotiable. The trading community must remain safe, inclusive, and focused on performance, not conflict.
Repeated spamming or demanding exceptions to the rules is equally unacceptable. One polite question or clarification is fine; flooding support with messages after receiving an answer is not. Once a decision has been made about an account, payout, or rule violation, that decision stands. Asking again and again, or insisting on discounts or free resets, signals a lack of professionalism. Traders who can't respect boundaries in communication rarely respect them in risk management either. The right approach is always to make a clear request once, accept the outcome, and move forward.
Cheating and system manipulation are the most serious offenses. Any attempt to exploit the platform or evaluation process results in immediate termination. This includes creating multiple accounts under different names, sharing or selling access, using automated tools or copy-trading software without approval, or engaging in coordinated strategies designed to guarantee one account's success. Techniques such as latency arbitrage, feed manipulation, or trading methods that take advantage of simulation behavior rather than market conditions are strictly prohibited.
Even something that might seem clever — like opening two accounts to take opposite trades so one always wins — is considered fraud. Every account is monitored for trade pattern similarity, IP data, and execution timing. When such behavior is found, all related accounts are closed and profits are forfeited. Integrity is the foundation of this program; once trust is broken, it cannot be restored.
Toxic or disruptive behavior in the community is also not acceptable. Constant negativity, trolling, or trying to start arguments only drags everyone down. Honest debate and occasional frustration are natural, but repeated hostility or unconstructive posts will result in removal. The goal is to maintain a respectful, solution-oriented environment where traders can focus on improving, not fighting.
These boundaries exist for one purpose: to keep the environment fair, safe, and professional. Traders who act with honesty and maturity will always find support here. Those who try to bend or break the rules will find that the program is equally firm in enforcing them.
In the end, everything comes down to integrity. Professional trading isn't just about skill; it's about character. The rule is timeless: do the right thing — even when no one is watching.
Core Values for Long-Term Success
To conclude this Code of Conduct, we want to highlight the four core values that define successful traders: Patience, Consistency, Effort, and Respect. These are the cornerstones of a professional mindset and naturally lead to the ultimate quality that every great trader develops — discipline.
Patience is the foundation of longevity in trading. Real growth takes time, not haste. It means resisting the urge for instant results and allowing your edge to play out over weeks and months, not hours. In practice, patience shows when you wait for high-probability setups instead of forcing trades, when you step aside during difficult markets, or when you accept that flat periods are part of the process. A patient trader knows that steady progress compounds over time. If you experience a few slow or losing sessions, patience means staying composed, reducing size, and refocusing — not doubling risk to recover losses. The same principle applies after funding: early consistency is far more valuable than fast profits. Trading is a long race, and endurance always beats speed.
Consistency means doing the right things, over and over, regardless of outcome. It's the mark of a trader who treats every day like a professional practice session, not a gamble. We value traders who can produce modest but stable results far more than those who swing wildly between gains and losses. Consistency in execution shows reliability — a trader who follows their plan daily, manages risk the same way each time, and keeps emotions in check. The most successful traders don't chase excitement; they refine their process. Their edge comes from routine: reviewing charts at the same time, logging every trade, adjusting risk methodically, and showing up prepared each session. Focus on process rather than outcome, and consistent results will follow.
Effort separates professionals from amateurs. Trading may offer freedom, but it rewards only those willing to work for it. Effort means studying markets after hours, keeping a detailed journal, analyzing mistakes, and continuously refining both technical and mental skills. It's the quiet work behind the scenes — reading, backtesting, self-review — that builds competence. The difference between two traders using the same strategy often comes down to effort: one reviews, learns, and evolves; the other just trades. Effort also means taking the time to understand the rules, follow procedures, and engage with the program thoughtfully. Treat trading like a profession, not a hobby. Dedicate time to growth — because every hour you invest in improving your craft compounds into skill and confidence later.
Respect ties everything together. It means respecting the opportunity you've been given, the capital you're managing, and the structure that keeps this program fair. Respect the process by following the rules; respect the journey by staying humble through both wins and losses. Avoid blaming the market, the firm, or anyone else for outcomes — take ownership instead. Respect also extends to people: to the team, to fellow traders, and to yourself. When challenges arise, communicate maturely. Traders who handle setbacks gracefully stand out; they build relationships that last and often find new opportunities down the line. Respect is not just courtesy — it's professionalism in action.
When patience, consistency, effort, and respect come together, they form the ultimate trait of success: discipline. A disciplined trader doesn't depend on luck, emotion, or impulse. They rely on structure, preparation, and trust in their process. Discipline is what keeps you steady when others panic and what allows capital — and confidence — to grow sustainably.
These values are not just ideals; they are the qualities that make traders fundable, dependable, and ultimately successful. The stronger these habits become, the closer you move toward mastery — not just in trading, but in every area of your professional life.
Conclusion: Your Commitment to Excellence
By following this Code of Conduct and the Trader Rules, you are committing to a higher standard — one built on professionalism, discipline, and integrity. This document outlines what we expect from you: ethical behavior, responsible risk management, honesty in execution, and a mindset focused on growth and improvement. In return, you can expect a fair and transparent process, responsive support, and the opportunity to build a lasting partnership if you meet the standards for funding.
These guidelines exist to empower you, not to restrict you. They create a fair environment where skill, consistency, and discipline can stand out. Whenever you face a difficult decision, refer back to these principles. Ask yourself: Am I acting with integrity? Am I within the rules? Am I handling this situation as a professional entrusted with capital would? If the answer is yes, you are already on the path to long-term success.
We're not just looking for traders who can pass a challenge — we're building a network of reliable, disciplined professionals who treat this opportunity with respect and purpose. Show through your actions that you belong in that group.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Trade with patience, discipline, and respect — and the rewards will follow.
Welcome to the team. Let's succeed together with integrity, focus, and professionalism.
