Fee Structure
As appreciation for joining during the educational/validation phase, soft launch cohort investors receive permanent fee advantages for capital deployed this year (initial cohort).
Capital deployed this year
At $500k Scale:
$120,000/year
6% preferred distribution paid FIRST
Future clients: $0 preferred (locked out or standard rates)
Soft Launch Cohort (You):
$100k deployed this year:
Future Client (Next Year+):
$100k deployed next year:
You save ~$1k/qtr in manager fees
Plus you keep 6% preferred distribution ($6k/qtr) that future clients won't receive
Total advantage: ~$10k/qtr on $100k
You can secure these founding member benefits WITHOUT deploying any capital during our soft launch validation period:
Option 1: Virtual Demo
$15-20/month to watch strategy in real-time with simulated capital
Option 2: Weekly Reports
FREE - Review performance weekly before committing
Lock in founding member terms NOW. Cohort closes at $5M AUM commitment. Deploy capital later (after licensing).
Future clients will NOT receive a 6% preferred distribution. They pay flat 2% AUM + 20% of profits with no investor-first waterfall protection.
Future clients pay ~$4k/quarter in fees ($2k AUM + $2k performance) vs. cohort's ~$3k/quarter (3% catch-up only).
Plus: Cohort gets $6k/quarter preferred distribution future clients won't receive.
Your initial capital is permanently grandfathered at the current waterfall structure (6% preferred + 3% catch-up). Even if you add new capital later, your original deployment keeps these terms forever.
This isn't just a "small account benefit." You can scale indefinitely at founding member rates.
Your Preferred Distribution as You Scale:
Terms locked at 6% preferred while capital remains in ECFS
Future Clients:
This strategy will close to new members once capacity is reached. Founding members can scale indefinitely.
Cohort: $6k preferred + ($10k profit - $3k fees) = $13k net/quarter
Future Client: ($10k profit - $4k fees) = $6k net/quarter
You make MORE THAN DOUBLE what future clients make.
Step 1: Join the interest list or start a virtual demo ($15-20/month or FREE weekly reports)
Step 2: Validate the strategy performance during our soft launch period
Step 3: Lock in founding member terms by expressing interest (no capital deployment required)
Step 4: Deploy capital later (after licensing & validation). Cohort closes at $5M AUM commitment.
The point: You can secure 6% preferred distribution + investor-first waterfall protection for just $15-20/month validation cost. No capital at risk. No long-term commitment. Just try it, validate it, then decide.
Important Terms Clarification:
"Locked rates while deployed" means as long as your capital remains actively deployed in the ECFS strategy, it retains the founding member waterfall structure (6% preferred distribution + 3% catch-up cap).
If you withdraw capital: You can withdraw anytime, but if you re-deploy later, standard rates at that time apply (2% AUM + 20% profits, NO preferred distribution). Your founding terms are preserved only while capital stays in the strategy.
If you decide to stop trading ECFS: You maintain full control. Due to the active nature of the strategy, you may choose to withdraw and redeploy elsewhere. Founding rates apply only while your capital is actively deployed in ECFS.
If you add new capital next year+: That new capital follows the then-current terms (2% AUM + 20% profits), but your initial founding cohort capital still retains locked terms as long as it remains deployed.
This is a one-time offer available exclusively for capital deployed during this year's soft launch cohort. Future capital deployments will not qualify for these founding rates or preferred distribution. Terms apply as long as capital remains actively deployed in the ECFS strategy and are subject to the investment agreement.

A disciplined five-step process designed to build protection first, then deliver consistent quarterly distributions with a preferred waterfall structure.
Start with a minimum investment of $20,000 to establish your account and begin the process.
Funds are held at a third-party brokerage with full transparency and daily reporting access.
The first priority: accumulate a $1,200 safety buffer before any distributions begin.
No management fees are charged during this buffer-building phase. This typically takes the first quarter or two.
Once the buffer threshold is met, quarterly distributions begin at a preferred rate of 6% per quarter (equivalent to 2% monthly).
Example: On $20,000 capital, target preferred distribution is $1,200 per quarter after buffer establishment. Paid at quarter-end if earned.
Strategy targets a ~10% gross quarterly return to support the 6% preferred distribution plus buffer retention and fees.
Actual distributions fluctuate based on quarterly performance; excess profits are retained to strengthen the safety cushion.
In quarters with losses, distributions pause automatically and the strategy focuses on rebuilding the buffer.
This disciplined approach prioritizes capital protection and sustainable long-term distributions over short-term payouts.

Illustrative projection for $20,000 investment with 10% gross quarterly target (6% preferred distribution per active quarter)
Note: This projection assumes strategy is actively trading in all 4 quarters. Annual return of 24% is based on 4 active quarters (6% × 4). Actual annual results vary if strategy is paused or inactive during any quarter.
| Quarter | Gross Return | Preferred Dist. | Manager Fees | Buffer Status | Capital |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 Buffer Build | $2,000 | $1,200 | $0 | $1,200 ✓ | $20,000 |
| Q2 Profitable | $2,000 | $1,200 | $800* | $1,200 ✓ | $20,000 |
| Q3 Profitable | $2,000 | $1,200 | $800* | $1,200 ✓ | $20,000 |
| Q4 Profitable | $2,000 | $1,200 | $800* | $1,200 ✓ | $20,000 |
| ANNUAL TOTAL | $8,000 | $4,800 | $2,400* | $1,200 | $20,000 |
*Waterfall Fee Structure: From $2,000 gross quarterly profit → (1) $1,200 preferred distribution to investor FIRST (6% of $20k); (2) Buffer maintained at $1,200 cap; (3) Remaining $800 goes to manager catch-up (partial, since full 6% catch-up would be $1,200). At 10% gross quarterly returns, manager receives $800/quarter ($2,400 annually) in catch-up mode. When returns exceed catch-up threshold, 50/50 split applies on excess.
Buffer Protection: Buffer is capped at $1,200 (6% of capital). Once buffer is established (Q1), it remains at $1,200. If buffer is used in a losing quarter, it's replenished back to $1,200 before any distributions resume. Excess profits above preferred + manager fees + buffer replenishment go to additional buffer reserves.
Important: All figures are illustrative projections based on a 10% gross quarterly return target. Actual results will vary based on market conditions and strategy performance. This is an educational example, not a guarantee.
Regular quarterly distribution phase
Annual return of 24% assumes 4 active trading quarters (6% × 4). Actual annual return varies if strategy is paused or inactive during any quarter.
Note: Quarterly distributions of 6% are paid at quarter-end when the buffer is intact and profits exceed the preferred distribution threshold. Waterfall structure ensures investor receives preferred distribution first, before any manager fees.
Quarterly Volatility Buffer: In quarters with losses or insufficient profits, distributions pause automatically and the strategy focuses on rebuilding the buffer. This accommodates market volatility while protecting capital.

The High-Water Mark ensures manager fees are only earned on NEW profits, never on recovering previous losses. You never pay fees twice on the same gains.
Notice in Q3: The account recovered the $1,500 loss and returned to $22,000, but the manager earned $0 in fees. Why?
Problem: Manager gets paid in Q3 for just recovering a loss. You're paying fees on profits that were already lost!
Benefit: Manager earns $0 in Q3 because account is only recovering. You save $600 and only pay for TRUE new profits!
HWM = Industry-Standard Investor Protection
High-Water Mark ensures manager incentives are aligned with creating genuine new value for your account. You never pay twice for the same performance.
Estimate your targeted quarterly distribution based on your investment amount.
Minimum investment: $20,000 (increments of $20,000)
Calculator Note: All figures shown are illustrative projections. The 6% per-quarter target applies when actively trading. Annual potential of $4,800 (24% return) assumes strategy is actively trading in all 4 quarters. Actual results vary based on quarters traded, market conditions, and strategy performance.
A casino-like statistical advantage applied to disciplined trading—here's how a 0.25R edge per trade compounds into consistent returns.
≈ 50%
I win 50% of all trades. This means 5 out of 10 trades are profitable.
1.5 : 1
I win 1.5× what I risk. For every $1 risked, I target $1.50 profit on winning trades.
EV = (Win Rate × Average Win) − (Loss Rate × Average Loss)
EV = (50% × 1.5R) − (50% × 1R)
EV = 0.75R − 0.5R
EV = 0.25R per trade
(25% return on risk per trade)
💡 What This Means: For every dollar risked (R), I expect to make $0.25 profit on average. This 0.25R edge per trade (25% return on risk) is comparable to a casino's statistical advantage, but applied to disciplined trading. When applied across multiple trades daily, this translates to a daily edge of approximately 0.25% of account value.
A 0.25R edge per trade (25% return on risk) is comparable to a casino's edge and what high-frequency trading firms scalp. It's a proven, mathematical advantage that compounds across multiple trades.
With 30-40+ trades annually, the edge compounds into consistent returns. More trades = more opportunities to realize the advantage.
With such a large edge, 2.5% risk per trade already compounds quickly. No excessive leverage needed—the edge does the work.
Returns = Edge × Risk Per Trade × # of Trades
0.25R/trade on $100K account ≈ $25 per $100 risked per trade
⚠️ Key Insight: Returns grow proportionally with risk taken IF the 0.25R edge per trade is truly validated. Doubling risk per trade = doubling expected returns. This is why the $25 virtual demo exists—to validate the mathematical edge before deploying real capital.
A transparent, investor-first fee model: you receive your preferred distribution before any manager fees are paid.
EXCLUSIVE TO SOFT LAUNCH COHORT
Future clients will pay flat 2% AUM + 20% profits with NO preferred distribution waterfall
Example: $2,000 gross return on $20,000 account (10% quarterly return)
Is the $1,200 buffer intact? ✅ Yes → Continue. ❌ No → Rebuild buffer first, no distributions.
Investor receives 6% of starting capital = $1,200. This is paid first, before any manager fees.
Remaining profit after preferred: $2,000 - $1,200 = $800
Is account above previous HWM? ✅ Yes → Manager can earn fees. ❌ No → Skip catch-up/incentive, all remaining profits to investor.
Manager receives catch-up to align with profit split. Catch-up ensures fair compensation after investor preferred is satisfied.
Example catch-up: Calculated based on agreement terms.
Any remaining profits after preferred and catch-up are split according to the agreed profit-sharing arrangement (e.g., 50/50).
Alignment of interests: Manager only profits when you profit significantly.
You always receive your 6% preferred distribution before any manager compensation is calculated or paid.
Manager earns no fees until account value exceeds its previous high-water mark. Losses must be recovered first.
$1,200 buffer (6% of account) must remain intact before any manager fees. Additional layer of capital protection.

The strongest feature of ECFS: disciplined, transparent risk controls designed to protect capital first.
Maximum risk exposure is capped at 2.5% of account equity per day, enforced automatically at the broker level.
This prevents catastrophic drawdowns and ensures no single day can significantly impair capital.
Additional safeguard with a 5% weekly loss limit to prevent excessive drawdowns over rolling 7-day periods.
If weekly losses approach this threshold, trading is paused automatically until the next week, providing an extra layer of capital protection.
During drawdown periods, position sizes automatically reduce to focus on capital preservation and steady recovery.
The strategy prioritizes rebuilding the buffer before resuming full distribution mode.
All risk limit changes and position adjustments are communicated clearly through your 24/7 dashboard and quarterly reports.
No surprises—you always know your current risk exposure and strategy status.
In any quarter with net losses, distributions automatically pause and all focus shifts to buffer rebuilding.
This disciplined approach prevents depleting capital during adverse market conditions.
Profitable Quarter
Build Buffer → Distribute 6% → Retain Excess into Safety Cushion
Losing Quarter
Pause Distributions → Rebuild Buffer → No Fees Charged → Resume When Ready
Buffer Below Threshold
Automatic Pause → Focus on Recovery → Transparent Communication
Capital preservation always takes priority over distribution consistency
A clear roadmap from onboarding to regular quarterly distributions.
During soft launch, investors validate the strategy through virtual demos ($15-20/month) or weekly performance reports (FREE). Cohort closes at $5M AUM commitment. Join the interest list to lock in preferred terms. No capital deployment until licensing complete.
Strategy focuses on building the initial $1,200 safety buffer while trading actively. At quarter-end, if buffer is met and profitable, first 6% preferred distribution may be processed.
Second quarter performance evaluated. If profitable and buffer intact, 6% preferred distribution paid first, then waterfall fees apply. HWM tracks highest quarter-end value.
Consistent quarterly cycle continues. Preferred distributions paid first when earned. In losing quarters, no distributions paid and buffer rebuilds. Manager fees only after investor preferred rate satisfied and above HWM.
