The SCEA Career Progression System

A structured 5-phase pathway from demo trader to institutional employee

How The System Works

1
Purchase & Pass Demo Evaluation
Start by purchasing a demo account — each demo is backed by real client funds. Meet the profit target, risk limits, and complete 3 profitable days (each ≥0.5% gain on starting balance). No time limit.

2
Receive Active Funded Account
Upon successful demo completion, you receive your active funded SCEA account. You trade real capital on MT5 with live market execution. Your profit split is 90% — withdrawals available monthly (or earlier upon expansion). No cap on withdrawals — you keep 90% of everything you make.
3
Achieve Performance Milestone
On your active account, earn 10% profit while respecting risk limits and 3 profitable days. This unlocks the right to purchase the next phase demo and expand your account size.

4
Purchase & Pass Expansion Demo
Buy the next demo account. Each phase has a lower profit target (10% → 9% → 8% → 7% → 6%). Same risk limits and 3 profitable days requirement. No time limits. If you need a retry after a rollback, you get 50% off the demo fee.
5
Repeat for 5 Total Expansions
Repeat the cycle of performance achievement + demo completion. Each successful expansion permanently increases your active account size. Minimum total duration: 30 days (due to 3 profitable days per phase).
Receive Institutional Employment Offer
After 5 successful expansions, you receive a formal employment offer from SCEA. Starting salary from $5,000/month + 90% profit split on your (now expanded) account — which remains under your management. We sponsor work visas for UAE, UK, and EU entities. Remote work available worldwide. Relocation package includes visa fees and first month accommodation.

From The Traders Who Made It

“I started with a $25k account from Brazil. 6.5 months later I got the offer. Now I trade remotely and the visa sponsorship to EU is being processed.”
“Rollbacks are stressful, but the 50% retry fee saved me. Passed Phase 4 on second try, now employed in Dubai.”
“The no‑cap withdrawal is real. I took out $12k in my third month while still on Phase 2. Best decision I made.”

⚡ 2025 conversion: 12 hired out of 148 funded traders (8%). 85% of Phase 5 graduates accepted offers.

Risk Management & Account Protection

Expansion Rollback

If you breach risk limits on your active account, your last expansion is removed — account size reverts to the previous phase. The withdrawal timer resets to one month. To regain the phase, purchase the demo again with a 50% discount.

Account Termination

If you breach limits with no expansions (Phase 1), your active account is terminated. You may purchase a new demo and restart your journey — full price applies.

Restart Opportunity

After any penalty, you can always purchase a new demo account and continue from your current base size. Progress is never completely lost.

Institutional Career Achievement

Successfully complete all 5 expansion phases and receive a formal employment offer from SCEA.

$5,000+ Monthly Salary + 90% Split

Your funded account remains under your management — you keep your 90% profit share and receive a competitive base salary.
