Stop size = $2

Daily loss = $700 (Super BP)

Max money risk 30% of Daily Loss = $210

Quantity = $210 / $2 = 105 shares to buy/sell

TRADING CONDITIONS ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By signing up to the Program of Trade The Pool, I hereby confirm and fully understand that my trading performance may also be affected by various conditions, as such:

Variable Spread

Spreads vary according to the market liquidity, at rigid times such as during high-impact economic events, the spread difference of ask and bid prices can expand multiple times.

Stop / Limit Pending Orders

Ordering at a specifically requested price is not guaranteed to limit or stop orders during abnormal and volatile periods – the price will be filled at the next best price according to the exchange order book.

Trading Gaps

At times of extreme liquidity in the market, the differences from one tick quote for the next may significantly increase. This is also known as ‘A Gap’. Any orders that are placed at prices with no tick quote will be filled at the next available quote. This may result in execution at a less preferred price.

Trading Commission

The commission is a trading cost applied by the liquidity provider. This is the industry’s standard method for Brokers and Liquidity Providers to charge for the service of executing orders.

The cost of commission is $1.5 minimum or 1 cent per share, for example:

When buying 50 shares of AAPL you will pay $1.5 (the minimum)

When buying 200 shares of AAPL you will pay $2 (per share)

Trading Exposure – Floating

Stock price X number of shares

On the Mini BP each trade cannot exceed $20,000 worth

On the Super BP each trade cannot exceed $80,000 worth

On the Extra BP each trade cannot exceed $160,000 worth

On the Ultimate BP each trade cannot exceed $260,000 worth

Economic Event Releases

At times of releasing any Economic Data, the price tends to form gaps, and spreads may increase in multiples, and execution is not guaranteed by price. It is advised to pay attention to the event release schedule, to reduce position exposure and shift further limit and stop orders.

Stocks Market Trading Hours

Market hours are based on the ET time zone. During normal days the stock market open hours are from 09:30 to 16:00, Monday to Friday.

However, on US holidays the market will close early or won’t be active at all.

It’s the Trader’s responsibility to check and be aware of holidays, days and hours of activity.

It is expected for the Traders to notify Trade The Pool of any changes in email or communication details and anything else that may affect their trading performance.

PROFIT PAYOUT

The Fund pays its trader an agreed portion of the net profits on a bi-weekly basis.

The trader can withdraw his profits only after reaching at least 1xdaily loss in profit (Mini BP = $300, Super BP = $700, Extra BP = $1300, Ultimate BP = $2000)

Upon success in the evaluation phase, the payout for profits will be paid on the following payout cycle.

*In order to ensure you build up an adequate buffer and stay trading for a longer period, once you have reached 3 x DLs in profit the max drawdown for the account will move to the initial balance of $0 and will result in the account being terminated.

For example:

Super buying power level ($700 DL, $2100 max DD)

A trader reaches $2100 in profit the max DD will now move to $0 without a buffer, if the trader decides to withdraw the full $2100, this will result in the account being terminated, however, if the trader would like to continue to trade they need to ensure that after the withdrawal there is an amount greater $0

At the end of every payout cycle, the Fund will withdraw any excessive profits from the account. This procedure is scheduled to take place in the first 24 hours after the end of the last trading day.
