Welcome to Verified Trader Capital. You are a few steps away from a funded trading account. Let's get you set up properly.

The traders who fail almost always fail on a rule they knew but forgot in the heat of a trade. Read these until you can recite them without looking.

• ☐I understand the daily loss limit resets at midnight ET — not per session
• ☐I understand EOD trailing drawdown — floor moves at close, not intraday
• ☐I understand the consistency rule — no single day over 50% of total profit
• ☐I have set my dashboard as a browser bookmark and will check it daily
• ☐I have joined the Discord server for rule Q&A support

You are now trading. These habits separate the traders who pass from those who don't — not talent, execution discipline.

• ☐Check dashboard before EVERY session — know your exact drawdown buffer
• ☐Size every trade so a full stop-out uses no more than 25% of daily limit
• ☐End the day flat if you are up on the week — protect what you have built
• ☐Track your daily P&L manually — know your consistency rule status at all times
• ☐Do not increase position size when close to the target — finish at normal size
• ☐Attend the Thursday live trading session on Discord at least once

When all 5 conditions are met simultaneously, your dashboard flags the account as passed automatically. You do not need to contact us — the system detects it in real time.

• ☐Confirm profit target is reached on your dashboard
