@HighFineness@T_Salvadorini That's not entirely true about ICM. They do have small spreads for small positions. They use DoM fill for a price, so anything +1lot might be worse.
@T_Salvadorini That's true, levels are not that precise on futures, and there are no cross pairs. The biggest advantage of futures is the spreads, in my opinion. For CFDs, you have to take into account the current spread, whereas in futures, you get filled at exact level.
@HighFineness If you trade currencies, you’ll have a hard time trading mean reversion because the levels aren’t right compared to CFDs, and you don’t have JPY crosses.
Position sizing with CFDs is much more precise.
But that is if you are a currency traders.
Ryan, can you please confirm that these terms pulled from your website @Raentrading are 100% accurate and consistent with the contract a trader signs when onboarding? Keep it brief, no explanation needed. YES or NO will do.
@baynkr@DrDeannaCole@Raentrading Would be cool to know about the changes of shares and new plans as until now I was only aware of 250k. 100% and 80/20 later on. And how % of share is correlating with the timing of first withdrawal?
@HighFineness@DrDeannaCole@Raentrading Actually it is. It scales automatically so can easily be 80/20 depending on when you decide to take your first withdrawal
Yes, this is accurate. A couple things worth noting though. The ARB partnership came about *after* this was written, so the contract between the trader and ARB is separate from what we do to support the trader on our side. The first withdrawal piece is true regardless. We supplement that regardless of the ARB contract. That’s how it works.
On the 80/20 that was the original structure and still applies to every senior trader. We’ve since introduced a scaling plan where you can hit 80/20 faster depending on performance. The page needs updating to reflect the current nuance but nothing there is inaccurate.
@RaenSupport@T_Salvadorini@Raentrading Isn’t a firm is responsible for account scaling? Why would one hold it’s profits on firms balance? Are you not scaling traders enough?
A little tip for the hammer/shooting star pattern:
When you spot a hammer, drop to a lower timeframe (D1 → H1), (H1 → M5) and check if the hammer’s structure shows rejection or a continuation flag. If it shows a continuation flag, you can expect the hammer to fail.
People always ask me, “Why this hammer and not that one?”
My checklist:
1. Location
2. Hammer structure on LTF
NQ was a great trade today. NQ came out of the OR 23749.50 right away and never looked back. This is a very bearish OR. So far we had four 64 handle swings, working on the fifth.
Pro of being part of a small trading pod
1/ Yesterday, I got smoked on a GU mean reversion play.
2/ Jun, a member of the pod, signaled a EURGBP mean reversion trade. I took it and recovered my loss.
If I had been trading in isolation, I likely wouldn’t have taken the trade and would have ended the day with a loss. This is just one of many examples of the advantage of being part of a pod that trades the same strategies.

Red or Green, what do you say?
Lithuania commits to allocating between 5% and 6% of its GDP to defense from 2026 to 2030. The decision was made today at the State Defense Council. Difficult times require bold decisions& leadership. We call on our allies to follow this lead. The era of passive “sit-and-wait” strategies is over.
@HighFineness@hyrotrader Yes, we do have a bigger volume, but we do not count simulated trading. Additionally, this volume is generated by traders, not HFT strategies.
