Everything that happens between signing up and your first reward request, in order.
Pick the evaluation structure that suits your style and select your account size. You pay a one-time fee that covers access to the evaluation environment, your simulated trading account, and the Orion platform. Your credentials arrive right after payment.
Your evaluation starts on your first trade, not at purchase. Hit the profit target for each phase while staying within the daily loss and drawdown limits at all times. Phases advance automatically once targets are met.
Once you pass, the Orion Identity section in your dashboard unlocks. Submit your documents and complete verification within 30 calendar days. For individuals, this typically takes less than one business day.
After KYC is approved, you're put forward as a candidate for the Orion Trader Program. A third-party entity reviews your application and may offer you a contract. This isn't automatic and acceptance isn't guaranteed. If offered, you sign electronically and your account goes live.
Once your account is active, you can request rewards every 14 days based on your performance. Rewards are paid in real money at an 80% split. After 4 reward requests, your original program fee is returned in full as an earned benefit.
