FAQ

Yes. Once you have passed our evaluation and become a certified trader, you may request a dedicated point of contact to assist with day-to-day communication via your preferred messaging application.

We are aware that many new companies attempt to use futures to conceal their CFD nature. However, as a professional financial services provider, we must clarify the current market situation: at present, there are no “true” futures proprietary trading platforms available. By “true,” we refer specifically to the ability to place short orders in options. It’s important to emphasize that authentic futures trading involves trading options themselves. If a platform only allows trading based on futures prices—without supporting options trading—it should be considered a CFD platform.

While SiegPath supports strategy deployment across a wide range of products, options trading is currently not available. You may still trade based on futures prices, but not options prices. Due to the significantly higher risk associated with options, we have chosen not to include them in our offerings at this time.

At our firm, we require traders to generate >5% annualized returns because this ensures we outperform the opportunity cost of capital. The 10-year US Treasury yield (~5%) is the risk-free benchmark—if we can’t reliably beat this, we’d be better off passively holding bonds.

Our 5% target reflects:

1. Risk premium: Active trading carries volatility, leverage, and drawdown risks, demanding higher compensation.
2. Cost coverage: Returns must exceed operational costs (tech, salaries, etc.) and capital costs (investor expectations).
3. Sustainability: Consistently beating Treasuries allows compounding growth and resilience in downturns.

Simply put: No alpha? Then we’re just taking unnecessary risk for Treasury-like returns. Your edge must justify the exposure.

SiegPath has been in financial servicing background for few years, in later year, we noticed there are a huge transaction in Proprietary Trading companys (Such as Jane Street, Citadel Securities, IMC Trading) they all looked for traders in traditional way (hiring, academic searching etc...) for years, we noticed these traders are already very active in internet for years, and we are easily identify them with our SiegEvaluation™.

Therefore, same as all proprietary trading companies, we rely on traders to provide effective trading strategy to locate market inefficiency and to make profit out of it, just that we moved the searching traders part online.

To ensure compliance and facilitate the processing of your payout, the name registered in the SiegPath system must exactly match the name on your government-issued identification documents (e.g., ID card or passport). In cases where there is a discrepancy between your KYC name and our records, we reserve the right to request additional documentation. Additionally, if our internal compliance team detects any indication of identity theft, we may suspend your payout or reject the evaluation result.
