What are the Rules for Stage 3? TradeShield Live Brokerage Account.

Congratulations & Welcome to Stage 3!

You've officially reached a significant milestone — you are now the proud owner of your very own TradeShield Live Brokerage Account.

You are now at Stage 3 - TradeShield Live Brokerage Account Setup. You will be sent paperwork from our broker Tradovate/NinjaTrader so that your Live Brokerage Account can be setup. You will also be sent the TradeShield Trader Agreement.

Your profits from your TradeShield Live Funded SIM Account (Stage 2) will be transferred over to your new Live Brokerage Account ($1,500).  There is a Daily Loss Shield (DLS) to protect your capital in your Live Brokerage Account which is set individually for each trader's risk profile. 

Tradovate Live Brokerage Data Fees:

Monthly CME Professional Data Subscription Fees

When a trader advances to Stage 3 with TradeShield, they are classified as a Professional Subscriber by the CME, which requires them to cover their own data fees at $135 per exchange each calendar month. 

Exchanges allowable to trade are: CBOT, CME, COMEX, and NYMEX.

See professional market data rates by clicking on the below link:

Professional Market Data Rates charged by Tradovate/NinjaTrader

These fees are billed directly by Tradovate on the 1st of each month. TradeShield does not make any profits on these data fees - they are charged directly by Tradovate/NinjaTrader Brokerage.   TradeShield will guide you through setting up these payments for a seamless transition.

Other Trading-Related Expenses

• Round Turn Commissions and Fees: Each trade ("round turn") is subject to fees determined by the exchange and trading platform.
  
  
• Platform License or Subscription: Certain platforms may have additional costs, like monthly subscriptions or licenses, based on your chosen software.
  
  

TradeShield is committed to transparency with all fees, giving traders access to the essential data and tools needed to operate professionally without any extra costs added.

• Platform License or Subscription: Some trading platforms may require an additional license or subscription, depending on your software choice.
  
  
  

TradeShield remains transparent with these expenses, which ensure professional-grade data access and support for your trading business, without any added markup.

The only way to lose your Live Brokerage Account is if you hit your static drawdown. You will not be able to reset your TradeShield Live Brokerage Account in Stage 3 if you hit your static drawdown.

When you are moved into your TradeShield Live Brokerage Account you will be responsible for the Monthly Professional Data Fees per exchange that you trade and that gets paid directly to our broker Tradovate/NinjaTrader.

In your Live Brokerage Account, there are no caps on your earnings.

• Earn $500 in a day? Keep 90%— $450 is yours!
• Earn $1,000 in a day? Keep 90%— $900 is yours!
• Earn $5,000 in a day? Keep 90%— $4,500 is yours!
• Earn $10,000 in a day? Keep 90%— $9,000 is yours!

We keep it simple. We seek profitable, consistent traders, not gamblers.

Additionally, you now have the option to take daily payouts directly from your Live Brokerage Account.

As you make profits in your Live Brokerage Account - we will schedule Zoom meetings periodically to go over your goals/objectives. As your profits grow in your Live Brokerage Account, we can have conversations about increasing your contract limits & increasing your Daily Loss Shield (DLS).

At this point, TradeShield only makes money when you make money, period. We want to see you successful and profitable and we work together, not against each other.

Inactivity and Account Closure Policy:

To maintain the active status of your TradeShield Live Brokerage Account, it is required that trading activity occurs at least once every 30 days. If no trades are placed within a 30-day period, the account will be deactivated due to inactivity. Once an account is deactivated, it cannot be reinstated, and the account will be permanently closed. Any designated funds in the account at the time of deactivation will be forfeited and the trader will not be eligible for any payouts.

You can only have and can trade one (1) TradeShield Live Funded Account/Live Brokerage Account.
