How Does Financial Crypto & Equities Work? Frequently Asked Questions
At Financial Crypto & Equities, we understand that many prospective traders have questions about how our firm operates. To help clarify our processes, we have developed an FAQ section covering essential topics like getting started, trading responsibilities, profit withdrawals, and more. If you're wondering how Financial Crypto & Equities works, this FAQ will guide you through the details of becoming a trader with our firm. We aim to ensure complete transparency, so explore the FAQ below to get answers to the most common questions.
Is Financial Crypto & Equities hiring me?
You are not being hired in the traditional sense with benefits and a salary but as an independent contractor. Like all trading professionals, you will be provided with trading capital and your income will directly tied to your performance. When you complete the membership requirements required by Financial Crypto & Equities, you will be offered a position as a trader from one of our trading LLCs. Once you are a trader with capital backing from the LLC, you will be permissioned to trade on behalf of the LLC in a sub-account. As a trader for the firm, you will have access to professional data feeds, professional commission rates and professional trading software. You will be compensated based on your individual performance as a trader for the LLC and you will receive a 1099-misc at the end of each year with your earnings from your trading activities. Taxes on these payouts will be the individual responsibility of each member. Refer to our Trader Advancement Tables for the payout rates.
What will my responsibilities be as a member/trader for Financial Crypto & Equities?
Before joining Financial Crypto & Equities as a member/trader, your primary responsibility will be to complete FCE's in-house training program. Upon the successful completion of FCE's training program, your primary responsibility will be to trade the firm's capital within FCE's risk guidelines for maximum profit. As you gain experience and progress within FCE, you may, from time to time, be called upon to conduct a class or discussion among other FCE traders. While not required, we recommend you participate in the live FCE online trading sessions, our discord server and our yearly Trading Summits in Las Vegas where we all get together for a weekend to discuss trading principles.
When can I withdraw a part or all of my earnings?
Monthly trading profits are calculated from each option period and a trader's profits will be credited on the Saturday after options expiration. This date is between the 15th and 22nd of each month. Profit disbursements will be made on the 1st of the month following the prior trading period. As an example, if a trader earned $5,000 in profits in the March options period and was on a 80% profit split, they would receive a disbursement of $4,000 on April 1st. A trader can retain any earnings within their trading account and apply for higher capital amounts.
Can I request additional buying power as a FCE Trader?
Yes. This increase will be granted based on your trading performance, profits retained in their account and size of risk deposit. In our program, the trader, through performance, earns greater and greater exposure. As most traders know, the bigger the buying power, the bigger the potential profits. This extra potential is earned via “consistency” more than anything else. In the professional trading world, consistency is king. We are looking for consistency married with low draw-downs and/or small account swings. Some of our traders don't experience a losing month in an entire year, with account swings that are nearly nonexistent. Level advancement will be made by additional education requirements and management approval.
I like everything I have read, but don't live near any of your offices. Is trading remotely for Financial Crypto & Equities possible?
Yes! Years ago, the answer to this question would have been a definite “no.” Financial Crypto & Equities was one of the first prop firms in the world to offer remote trading. Today, due to incredible technological advancements in the professional trading field, we can monitor, assist, and teach a trader remotely, just as effectively as one on-site. While some traders do thrive in the energetic environment of a trading room, many do better from the comfort and solitude of their own homes. What's more, our remote traders experience all that happens on our main trading floor through our trade setups in the weekly Trading Room and our real-time trade updates on our members area Trading blog.
I would love to trade with Financial Crypto & Equities, but I can't trade full-time at the moment. Can I become a part-time trader?
Yes. Part-time traders often grow into some of our best traders. First of all, their growth and development as professional traders happen in smaller, more digestible periods. Secondly, the lessons learned are steady and the part-time nature of their trading reduces the risk of being overloaded and overwhelmed with too much at one time. Some of our best full-time traders today began as part-timer traders first.
Do I need to complete FCE's qualification program prior to trading firm capital or can I simply start trading with FCE?
Since it is our money, we want to make sure we have traders who know what they are doing to minimize our risk.
- Without exception, all FCE traders are required to complete FCE's qualification program.
- FCE offers its traders capital, coaching, and support not found in other proprietary trading firms and management has found that the full benefit of this infrastructure comes only after completing a comprehensive program.
- FCE's goal is to create a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with its traders and has found the best way to accomplish this goal is to start its traders off with an excellent foundation.
Is there a cost associated with the qualification program?
Yes. Each FCE Trader pays a $199 desk fee and will need to post a trading bond before live trading. A portion or all of those desk fees will be a credit to purchase additional FCE services or credit towards your required performance bond. Full details on these costs will be in the application videos. We also have performance bonus payouts once a trader hits certain profit metrics. We reward our traders who are profitable and consistent.

Is Financial Crypto & Equities a brokerage firm?
No. Financial Crypto & Equities is a private equity trading firm which trains and allows a team of professional traders to manage and trade its own brokerage account.
- Financial Crypto & Equities's traders are brought in as members and given trading authority to trade the firm's account for the benefit of the firm.
- FCE has partnered with some of the biggest firms in the business to provide our traders the absolute best in software, execution and superior pricing (commissions).
- Unlike most proprietary trading firms, FCE does not add a “mark-up” to your trading commissions and we strictly profit from the profits our traders generate.
Because of this, we do not have volume requirements and actively discourage high frequency trading. This makes our objectives and motivations the same as our traders…generating profits in the market.
Do I receive a salary if Financial Crypto & Equities hires me as a trader?
FCE Traders are paid on performance only. Compensation is based on each individual trader's net profit and loss. We provide a carefully structured Trader Advancement Program that will increase the capital that you can trade as you demonstrate consistent profitability. There is no cap on the levels that can be achieved, so your potential revenue is virtually unlimited.
