PROFESSIONAL TRACK
ASSESSMENT TRACK
About Aralyx
Aralyx is structured as a proprietary trading firm, not a challenge-based funding model. The focus is verified performance, professional infrastructure, risk oversight, trader development, and progression toward live firm capital.
For the fastest response, contact Aralyx by email at support@aralyx.com or through the Trading Floor Comms server. Social channels are not monitored for support.
Aralyx offers two routes into the firm: the Assessment Track for traders building a verified record, and the Professional Track for experienced traders applying directly with a live track record. Traders also access professional infrastructure, market resources, Trading Floor Comms, risk oversight, and a pathway toward live firm capital.
Aralyx is not a funding company or challenge model. It is structured as a trading firm first, with live capital, a long-term career pathway, an institutional environment, and real professional standards.
Aralyx is a proprietary trading firm built to identify and develop trading talent, providing a structured pathway to demonstrate ability and transition into trading live firm capital.
Career, Capital & Profit Split
Yes. Aralyx operates from a physical trading floor in Dublin. Live traders may be considered for access to the Dublin floor for visits, training periods, or longer-term on-site trading, depending on performance, conduct, strategy, fit, and capacity.
Assessment Track traders who progress to live firm capital receive an 80/20 profit split. Aralyx covers applicable live trading costs for the first three months, provides a $1,000 monthly stipend for three months, and credits the initial Assessment Cycle fee back upon the trader’s first profitable withdrawal.
Capital growth is based purely on performance. Your initial allocation reflects your track record and risk management, then scales aggressively with consistent profitability, disciplined risk, and scalable strategies.
Once approved for live trading, you trade firm capital under defined risk parameters, with support from a designated risk manager, pod leader, and Trading Floor Comms. Limits may scale over time based on performance, risk behaviour, and consistency
A seat is guaranteed for traders who complete the Assessment Track by meeting all defined criteria. Experienced traders entering via direct entry earn a desk position through interview and review.
Live traders typically operate as independent contractors. This is an industry-standard structure in proprietary trading and aligns compensation directly with trading performance.
Eligibility & Payment
Access to the Assessment Track is provided through a monthly subscription covering the platform, broker connectivity, leaderboard, Newsquawk, Content Hub, performance support, and risk tools. Subscriptions are non-refundable once charged and access has been provided. If a trader progresses to live trading, the Assessment Track subscription is credited back on their first profit withdrawal.
Yes. Breaching the cycle rules, prohibited trading behaviour, account manipulation, false information, failed verification, sanctions restrictions, or activity designed to bypass the rules may result in disqualification. All activity is subject to review.
After the Assessment Track, qualifying traders complete KYC, performance review, and a risk interview. If approved, they are onboarded to live trading with defined risk parameters, account access, and oversight from the desk.
Aralyx is open to traders globally, subject to eligibility, OFAC and other sanctions restrictions, platform availability, and compliance checks. Traders can enter through the Assessment Track or apply directly through the Professional Track if they have a verified live track record.
Platform & Markets
Trading Floor Comms is Aralyx’s private communication server, giving all traders access to desk updates, market discussion, direct messaging, Newsquawk, real-time economic calendar updates, financial news streams, daily market rundowns, and Aralyx Assistant.
Each trader can connect one account per assessment cycle.
Aralyx uses broker synchronisation so traders can be assessed on how they actually trade, using their own platform and broker setup.
You need a supported broker or platform account with the correct permissions and market data enabled before your cycle begins.
You trade through your own broker account and platform. Aralyx connects to it through a secure, read-only sync so your trading activity can be verified for assessment and leaderboard purposes.
During the Assessment Track, traders may trade supported futures and CFD markets through their connected broker account. Available markets depend on the broker, platform, account permissions, and Aralyx eligibility rules. 24/7 CME crypto trading is not currently supported.
After signing up, you can connect your supported broker or trading platform through the Aralyx dashboard. Step-by-step connection guides are available in the Content Hub.
Aralyx connects to supported broker and trading platforms for broker-synchronised performance tracking, including NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic, cTrader, MetaTrader 4 and 5.
Rules & Evaluation
Yes, but only during the late join window. Traders can join an active Assessment Cycle during the first 5 trading days. After that, new traders are placed into Practice Mode until the next cycle begins.
Yes, for Tradovate and NinjaTrader. Traders using Tradovate or NinjaTrader must have an active platform subscription and the required market data enabled before starting an Assessment Cycle. This applies to demo and live setups. CFD platforms do not require a separate market data subscription or CFD platform subscription.
No. Weekend holding is not currently permitted during the Assessment Track. Traders will be notified in the dashboard before the weekend close, and any trader who fails to close their positions in time will be breached.
No. Funded or sim-funded accounts from another firm are not permitted for the Aralyx Assessment Track.
Performance is evaluated against the core criteria: ≥15% return, ≤8% static max drawdown, and at least 35 active trading days. Aralyx also reviews risk behaviour, consistency, execution quality, and meaningful trading activity.
All trading must reflect a genuine attempt to engage with the market under real conditions, with clear structure in size, entry, exit, and risk. Activity designed purely to meet requirements may result in disqualification.
An active trading day is counted when a trader opens and fully closes a genuine trade in at least one product, bringing exposure back to flat. Traders need a minimum of 35 active trading days within the 40-day cycle.
The maximum drawdown limit is 8% of your starting capital and is static. If breached at any point during the cycle, including through open or unrealised losses, the account is no longer eligible for that cycle. You may continue using the platform to develop and return in a future cycle.
The return target for the Assessment Track is ≥15% of your initial capital over the 40-day cycle.
