Prop firms monetize failure.
Onyx monetizes intelligence.
Every evaluation, every trade, every decision made on our platform trains an intelligence engine. The prop firm isn't the business. It's the sensor network.
Onyx is the only prop model where the firm makes more money when traders win.
An industry built on its customers losing.
Only 5–10% of traders pass evaluations. Roughly 7% of evaluation buyers ever receive a payout. The average trader spends $800+ across multiple attempts before a first payout — if it ever comes.
A wave of sudden firm collapses and frozen payouts (2024–2026) has made trust the scarcest asset in a $2–4B/yr category — and incumbent economics require customer failure, so incumbents cannot earn it back.
The model is adversarial by construction. Traders know it. Regulators know it.
Aligned incentives —
structurally, not rhetorically.
Transparent evaluations, fully published rules, trader-first payout terms. Evaluation revenue funds the platform and is cash-generative from day one.
Every trade trains the intelligence engine. Trader survival scoring, behavioral discipline prediction, regime-aware risk pricing.
House capital mirrors our best traders. The traders who cost incumbents the most are our revenue source. Later: anonymized intelligence licensing to institutions (OnyxIntel).
Four products. One published rulebook. Zero fine print.
Every account includes OnyxTradr — plan declaration, real-time rule proximity, and trade-by-trade feedback calibrated to how the trader actually trades — plus a personal Intelligence Lab powered by the same engine that runs the firm.
Other firms sell a test and profit when you fail it. We built the tools that help traders pass, because our model only works when they succeed.
Recursive self-improvement, defined honestly.
Every model in OnyxQuant logs its predictions, scores them against realized outcomes, and retrains on a fixed cadence. The system provably improves with every trade taken on the platform.
Predicts funded-account survival and expected value per trader. Drives capital allocation and dynamic risk pricing.
Predicts discipline breakdown before it happens. Drives real-time trader interventions in OnyxTradr.
Four further loops — strategy, market regime, model-decay, and human performance — activate as data density grows.
