Become a SKLZ Master Trader
Traders with a verified record can be followed by SKLZ subscribers, and earn a share of the subscription revenue from every follower they bring — for as long as that follower stays.
● Early access — taking applications, not yet live
What "verified" means here
Anyone can post a screenshot. We compute your record ourselves from a read-only key on your own account — nothing is self-reported.
Below 100 trades, luck and skill are genuinely hard to tell apart — so we do not pretend otherwise. Records that look like coin-flips are labelled as such on your profile, even after you are listed.
What you earn
10% of the subscription revenue from each follower you bring, paid monthly for as long as they stay subscribed.
- Paid on retained followers, not signups
- Nothing is earned from a follower who leaves
- No cut of your followers’ trading profits — those are theirs
We pay on retention deliberately. Paying per signup would reward attracting followers, which rewards looking aggressive. Paying on retention rewards not losing them.
What we will not do
- We never hold your funds, or your followers’ funds
- We never accept an API key that can withdraw
- We do not hide a leader’s losing periods
- We do not list anyone who has not met the standard
- Followers set their own allocation and risk — you never see their balance
- A leader breaching the drawdown limit is suspended automatically
Where this actually stands. The copy engine is built and tested, and has placed real orders on a live exchange. It has not yet run at scale with multiple followers. We are onboarding a small number of traders first, deliberately, so that problems are found with a handful of people rather than a few hundred.
If you apply now you are early, and you should expect the rough edges that come with that. We would rather say so than discover it together later.
