Trading Rules
Signal Capital Trader Programme Overview
The objective of Signal Capital Trader programme is to find trading talents and assess if you can adhere to our rules for trading our live capital. The rules are simple and straightforward, and by meeting the Scaling Objectives, you prove that you are a disciplined and experienced trader.
Trading Period
Signal Capital has an infinite amount of time for you to scale up at your own pace. If you meet your monthly target of 20% you will be eligible for scaling at the discretion of Signal Capital.
Minimum Trading Days
There are no minimum trading days.
Maximum Loss
This rule can also be called “account stop-loss”. The equity of the trading account must not, at any moment during the account duration, decline below 80% of the initial account balance. We have a relative maximum loss as well that cannot at any time lose 20% of your current balance.
For the Signal Capital Trader with a balance of $5,000, it means that the account lowest possible equity can be $4,000. Again, this is a sum of both closed and open positions (account equity, not balance).
20% of the initial account balance gives the trader enough space to prove that his/her account is suitable for the investment. It is a buffer that should keep the trader in the game even if there were some initial losses. The investor has an assurance that the trader’s account cannot decline below 20% of its value under any circumstance.
However, traders can build their drawdown tolerance up by making a profit on the account, all profits generated must always be relative of 20% Drawdown.
