How it works

Learn, practice, evaluate, improve

Learning trading theory is useful. Applying that knowledge in a controlled environment can make it more meaningful.

01

Learn

Understand trading principles, risk management and evaluation rules.

02

Practice

Apply those principles within a simulated trading environment.

03

Evaluate

Review your performance, consistency and ability to follow defined risk parameters.

04

Improve

Use the experience to identify areas where your trading process may need improvement.

Evaluation parameters

The concepts an evaluation is built on

Proprietary trading evaluations are structured programs designed to assess a trader's ability to follow predefined trading and risk-management parameters.

Profit Objectives

Learn how performance objectives are structured within simulated evaluations.

Daily Risk Limits

Understand how daily loss limits and other risk parameters may affect trading decisions.

Maximum Drawdown

Learn how drawdown is calculated and why protecting simulated account equity is important.

Trading Consistency

Understand the importance of sustainable trading behaviour rather than excessive short-term risk.

Trading Rules

Learn how different rules can influence strategy, position sizing and overall risk management.

Where offered, simulated trading evaluations use virtual balances within predefined rules and virtual account conditions. These environments are designed for educational and skill-assessment purposes and should not be considered investment products, brokerage accounts or a guarantee of financial results.
