The Prop Trading Industry Is Broken

94% of traders fail. Only 1-2% ever get paid. We've discovered a fundamental flaw in how the industry operates—and built a solution that changes everything.

A $20B Industry Built on Failure

The prop trading model is designed to collect fees from traders who never had a chance to succeed.

Unrealistic Targets

10% profit in 30 days with strict drawdown? Only 5% of professional hedge funds achieve this consistently. Traders are set up to fail.

Hidden Rules & Traps

Weekend holding restrictions, news trading bans, consistency rules—designed to disqualify traders who would otherwise pass.

Payout Games

$310M+ lost to fraud in 2024. Withdrawal delays, account terminations, firms disappearing overnight. Trust is destroyed.

A Revolutionary Approach

We've reimagined how trader evaluation works. The result is counterintuitive—but it works.

3-4x Higher Pass Rates

Our proprietary evaluation method dramatically increases trader success—without increasing business risk.

Fair in Any Market

Unlike competitors, our model works equally well in bull, bear, or sideways markets. No luck factor.

Skill-Based Selection

We identify genuinely talented traders, reducing funded account risk and creating sustainable unit economics.

Total Freedom

Expert Advisors, news trading, any strategy. We only set a max drawdown—the rest is up to you. We care about profits, not rules.

🔒 PATENT PENDING

The Secret? It's Counterintuitive.

Our innovation is elegantly simple, yet no one in the industry has done it. We can't reveal it publicly—but investors who see our pitch deck immediately understand why it works.

The Problem

The prop trading industry has a fundamental misalignment: firms profit when traders fail. The current model collects challenge fees from traders attempting to pass arbitrary profit targets, with 98% failing and losing their fee entirely.

This creates perverse incentives where firms are motivated to set difficult or unclear rules, provide poor execution, and ultimately profit from trader failure rather than success.

Our Solution

GoGain introduces PvP (Player vs Player) trading challenges where traders compete head-to-head in real-time. The winner—the trader with the highest profit at challenge end—receives a funded account.

This model fundamentally realigns incentives:

  • We only fund proven winners who beat other traders
  • Our revenue comes from profit-splits with successful funded traders
  • We're incentivized to select and support the best talent
Key Insight
We've identified a fundamental flaw in how the prop trading industry evaluates traders. Our innovative approach creates a fairer system that's also more sustainable. First-mover advantage in a $20B market ready for disruption.

Market Dynamics

Industry Consolidation (2024-2025)

The prop firm industry is experiencing massive consolidation. Over 80 firms shut down or were acquired in 2024 alone, primarily due to:

  • MetaQuotes crackdown on white-label solutions
  • Regulatory scrutiny increasing
  • Unsustainable business models exposed
  • FTMO acquiring OANDA signals institutional interest
Competitive Landscape

Fragmented Market

No dominant player owns more than 15% market share. Top competitors:

  • FTMO - €200M+ revenue, traditional model
  • FundedNext - Fast growth, aggressive marketing
  • The5ers - Lower fees, high volume

Key gap: No one has built a PvP competition model. We're creating a new category.

Timing Advantage
Post-consolidation, pre-regulation. The industry is cleaning up, but no clear regulatory framework exists yet. We're building compliant-first while competitors scramble to adapt.

Business Model

Multiple revenue streams with aligned incentives

Challenge Fees

All participants pay an entry fee to join challenges. This covers operational costs and provides baseline revenue.

Standard Challenge Fee Structure:

  • €10K account: €90
  • €25K account: €149
  • €50K account: €350
  • €100K account: €500
  • €200K account: €399

Expert Challenge (Premium Tier):

  • Entry Fee: €2,000+ per trader
  • Capital: €100K - €500K
Pool Margin

Difference between total fees collected and capital allocated to winners. Retained margin is 10-15% of challenge pool.

Example:

5 traders × €149 = €745 collected
Winner gets €50K funded account
Margin retained: ~€600

Profit Split

Ongoing revenue from funded trader profits. This is where incentives fully align—we only earn when traders succeed.

Split Structure:

80-90% to trader / 10-20% to GoGain

Revenue Model Comparison
Traditional Prop Firms: 95%+ revenue from failed challenge fees. Incentivized to make traders fail.

GoGain: Diversified revenue across fees, margin, and profit-splits. Incentivized to select winners and help them succeed.

Competitive Advantage

Why GoGain will win

🚀 Total Trading Freedom — What Others Ban, We Allow

While competitors impose restrictive rules that frustrate traders, GoGain takes a radically different approach:

✓ Expert Advisors Allowed

Use any EA, bot, or automated system during challenge and when funded. No restrictions.

✓ News Trading Allowed

Trade NFP, FOMC, CPI—any news event. No blackout periods, no restrictions.

✓ Any Strategy Welcome

Scalping, swing, martingale, hedging—trade however you want. Your strategy, your choice.

✓ One Simple Rule

Respect the max drawdown. That's it. We care about your profits, not how you make them.

Why this matters: This is a massive differentiator. Traders hate arbitrary rules. By removing them, we attract skilled algo traders and news specialists that competitors actively exclude.

First-Mover in PvP

No competitor has built a true head-to-head competition model. We're creating a new category with innovative trader evaluation.

Aligned Incentives

Unlike competitors who profit from failure, we only succeed when funded traders profit. This creates natural word-of-mouth and retention.

Founder Expertise

25+ years in financial services. Certified Financial Advisor with deep expertise in forex & metals trading and trading systems development.
