Acceleration Program
A structured capital allocation and profit share program designed to identify, fund, and scale proven traders.
Scale Your Trading Career
The YellowFin Acceleration Program is designed to identify and scale established traders with a proven track record.
The program provides a structured capital allocation and performance-based scaling model to grow Firm Under Management (FUM). Qualified traders receive matched capital, institutional infrastructure, and a clear pathway to managing larger pools of capital.
Capital Allocation & Structure
YellowFin provides a 1:1 capital match of the trader's deposit, giving you immediate access to doubled trading capital.
- Initial Allocation: 1:1 capital match of the trader's deposit
- Deposit Range: Minimum $20,000 USD up to a maximum of $50,000 USD (or equivalent)
- Platform: Trading executed via MT4 or MT5 trading platforms
- Leverage: Account leverage set at 200:1 (expected maximum used leverage of 20x initial deposit)
- Risk Management: Hard stop loss at 30% drawdown from starting balance
Deposit Example
A trader deposits $30,000 USD. YellowFin matches with $30,000, giving the trader access to $60,000 in total managed capital from day one.
Accounts held with FXTrading.com
Verification Process
All trading history must be independently verified through an audit report or third-party platform such as Myfxbook to ensure transparency and accuracy.
Submit Your Track RecordTrader Requirements
We seek established traders who can demonstrate consistent performance and disciplined risk management.
- Track Record: Minimum 3+ months of live trading history with a recognised broker
- Verification: Independent audit report or third-party verification (e.g., Myfxbook) required
- Brokerage: Accounts must be held with FXTrading.com
Remuneration & Performance Fees
A transparent, performance-aligned fee structure that rewards consistent returns above the high water mark.
- Performance Fee: Traders receive a 25% performance fee on the allocated capital
- Calculation Period: Fees calculated and paid quarterly (every three calendar months) in arrears
- High Water Mark: Fees only payable when Adjusted Account Equity (AAE) exceeds the previous High Water Mark Value (HWV)
High Water Mark Protection
The HWM mechanism ensures performance fees are only charged on genuine new profits. If the account value drops below its previous peak, no fees are payable until the account recovers and exceeds that level.
Scaling & Career Path
Allocation is reviewed every three months. If the Return/Drawdown ratio exceeds 2, YellowFin will add 2 additional units of capital to your account.
Scaling Example
A trader deposits $30,000 with a 15% return and 7% drawdown (Ratio: 2.1)
Quarterly Reviews
Capital allocation is reviewed every three months based on your Return/Drawdown ratio. Consistent performers are rewarded with increased capital.
Contract Roles
Successful traders may be offered contract roles, providing a stable income alongside performance-based compensation.
ASIC MDA Licence
Top performers may be given the opportunity to manage larger pools of capital under an ASIC wholesale Managed Discretionary Account (MDA) licence.
