•       Mentorship from experienced traders and coaches

•       Reliable internet connection and availability during major market sessions

•       Resident of the United States, Canada, or United Kingdom

Preferred (not required):

Estimated first-year earnings range widely based on effort, skill development, and market conditions. High-performing traders regularly achieve six-figure annual income.
