Most traders focus on the trade.
The work that keeps people on a desk happens before the open and after the close.
Most traders don't improve because nobody's looking at what they're doing.
Every trader on our desk sits down with a performance manager on a regular basis.
They'll pick up on the habits you can't see when you're in the middle of it.
If you're not sure you have edge, we're not the place to find out. It's like interviewing for a job you're not sure you can actually do. You might get through, but it'll show once you start. Trading works the same way.
We're after traders who know they've got edge and are looking for capital, room to scale and proper performance management.
We're not after traders who just want to keep recycling evaluations, hoping one withdrawal covers what the last ten cost them. This is not trading.
It amazes us how often we hear from traders who make money but can't withdraw it.
At TDD it's simple: "If you make it, you keep it".
Pass the assessment. Trade real capital in a sub-account under your name.
No withdrawal caps. No moving the goalposts after a good month.
There's a huge difference between trading on SIM versus live. To get you there faster, at TDD we've halved the target to $10k and cut minimum trading days from 60 to 0.

After a year of running the Raen assessment, we're making some changes.
Published Phase 2 criteria. New mentored assessment option. Everything in one place.
The assessment is getting it's own home. More on Monday.
No newsletter today. We're switching things up.
Starting this Sunday: Weekly Outlook. Instead of looking back at the week, we're looking forward.
What's setting up. Key levels. Events that matter. Everything you need to walk into Monday ready.
Drops every Sunday. First one this week. Stay tuned.
Most traders stay stuck because they're trading alone.
No oversight. No feedback. No one to catch the pattern you can't see from inside it.
Cohort 006 is open.
Professional trading desk. Real capital. Institutional infrastructure.
TT Pro. LiveSquawk. Weekly live sessions with senior traders.
$389/mo in Phase 1 (refunded with your first withdrawl). Phase 2 is free. Your trading is the interview.
