Welcome to Day Trade the World™!
Once you sign back this letter agreement, you will be given access to our trading system
PPro8 TM and related online support on the following terms:
- Our Trading Floor Development (TFD) team will assist you in setting up your own trader location, as well as coaching you on best practices to achieve trading floor success.
- All of your location’s trading will be done in our simulated trading environment Training Mode Superb (TMS). Your location’s trading gains and losses in TMS are entirely simulated, giving you a risk-free period for your traders to learn to trade through PPro8™.
- The only upfront cost to you is a non-refundable US$500.00 set-up fee for registration and receipt of our proprietary CubeX device, which connects your location to our trading network.
- Upon TMS set-up, you will receive access to an uninterrupted stream of day trading news, information and media (available only to Day Trade the WorldTM offices). The flat fee of US$150 per month is waived for the first nine months, and if you “go live” before the end of the 9th calendar month, the nine-month fee waiver still applies.
- All information that we provide you and your traders is proprietary and confidential to us. You and your traders shall not: (a) disclose any such information to any third party (except as required by law); or (b) use such information for any purpose other than trading with us.
