At CTI, we value and reward traders who adopt sound risk management and consistently trade responsibly.

Our monthly salary initiative is designed to encourage and incentivize traders to build a solid record that is worth presenting to investors and get access to even more capital.

To be eligible for a monthly salary, traders must meet the following standards:

1. Exhibit a profitable track record for at least 6 months with CTI.
2. Maintain an average net profit of 2% per month over a rolling last 6 months.
3. Maintain a Return/Drawdown ratio of 3.

Our commitment is clear: perform consistently, and we’ll ensure you’re rewarded for it.

Once you meet these conditions, you will be eligible for a monthly salary. You will receive a personalized contract outlining the terms of your salary agreement.

As you continue to trade and generate profits, you will be able to enjoy a steady income in addition to your profit share.

The rolling average net profit per month is a method to measure the average profitability over a specific period of time, considering the most recent 6 months.

Instead of just looking at a fixed time frame (like January to December), a rolling average continually recalculates the average as new months come in, “rolling” over the period in focus.

Here’s a simple way to understand it:

If you want to calculate a 6-month rolling average net profit.

In July, you’d find the average net profit for the previous 6 months, for the period of January to June. 

Then, in August, you’d calculate a new average for the previous 6 months from February to July. 

Then again for March to August, and so forth.

With each new month, you’d drop the oldest month from your calculations, and consider the most recent last 6 months period.

At CTI, our Return / Drawdown Benchmark is 3. The Return/Drawdown Ratio is a metric used by investors to evaluate the performance of a trading strategy or investment portfolio. It’s calculated by dividing the total returns (or profits) by the maximum drawdown over a specific period.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

1. Return (or Profit): This is the gain achieved by a trading strategy over a set period. It represents the positive outcomes of the strategy.

2. Drawdown: This represents the largest drop from a peak to a trough during a specific period for a trading account. In other words, it indicates the highest loss a trader has experienced before gains start to occur again. A significant drawdown can be an indication of high risk.

For example, a Return of 24% and a Drawdown of 8% would give a Return/Drawdown ratio of 3.

The benefit of this indicator is that the more profit the trader makes, the higher the ratio.

A higher Return/Drawdown Ratio is typically seen as better, indicating that for every unit of risk (drawdown) taken, there’s a higher unit of reward (return).

Conversely, a low ratio can suggest that the returns do not adequately compensate for the risk taken.
