Trader Development Desk (TDD) is a professional proprietary trading desk. We look for traders who already have an edge, give them the environment and the support to prove it, and then put firm capital behind them.
What We're Not
We’re not a funded trader programme. Most of the industry makes its money from evaluation fees - the more people fail, the better it does. That isn’t our model. We do charge a monthly fee for the assessment, and it covers the platform, the market data and the infrastructure behind it. But that isn’t where the business makes its money. We make money when a trader reaches the Live Desk and performs.
That’s also why your assessment fees are credited back against your first withdrawal. We’d rather have you on the desk and performing than have your subscription.
And it’s why we’ve shortened the route. The assessment tells us what we need to know at this stage - whether you can manage risk and work to a process. What it can’t tell us is how you’ll handle real money behind the position, and no amount of extra time on sim will answer that. So once you’ve proven the first, we put you where the second gets answered.
Who It's For
- Traders who already have an edge and want capital, room to scale and proper performance management
- People who came to trading outside the traditional routes, with no formal background in it
- Traders ready for professional-level responsibilities and discipline
Who It Isn't For
- Traders looking for quick evaluations, guaranteed seats, or casual trading experiences
- Anyone still working out whether they have an edge
