Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

10-4. Do you have an area on website where you list the margin requirement for each instrument?

 

We don’t, but you can check them on the CME website and many brokers websites list maintenance margins too.

 

What were the circumstances for this to make sense?

 

They performed well previously and the prop firm still had confidence enough to further fund them after hitting drawdown. It's really a different situation, thus different offer, for every trader.

 

If I turned 20k to 100k in one year(certified), would Helios consider/guarantee a 100k offer?

 

You'd need to contact Helios about that. traders@heliostp.com

 

I don't like to hear that. That is sending the wrong message.

 

I meant to say "trader" and not "trade", but in either case, Helios feels it's the proper way to handle it. The best analogy is paying to go pass an exam and get a certification you need for a job opening, going to the interview, and getting a job offer. You know the range of what they pay but based on your interview and experience, the company is going to give you what they believe is best. Our structure may not be for everyone and that's OK!

 

Hey Ryan, aren't you the owner/founder of Helios?

 

Yes, but I have a team that helps answer questions and partners to confer with. I’m here at ET on behalf of Earn2Trade and we do our best to keep the lines drawn between businesses.
