How High Water Mark works
The short version lives on the home page: verify, enter the dealflow, get allocated. This is the long version. What each step asks of you, what we verify, what it costs, and what we are not.
The three steps
From verified trader to allocated capital.
- 01
Verify your track record
Real money, six months or more, independently verified. What allocators see is a record they can trust, not your playbook.
- 02
Enter the dealflow
Qualified traders join a curated, private pipeline that allocators actually review. This is not a public leaderboard or a directory. It is a short list built for people who deploy capital.
- 03
Get allocated
When you fit a mandate, we make the introduction. You trade, they fund, and you keep the upside. No fund to launch, no challenge to buy.
The full bar for each step lives on the requirements page. Read it before you apply so there are no surprises.
Verification
What we verify.
Allocators do not fund screenshots. They fund a record they can trust. Our job is to confirm that the record is real.
- That the capital was real, not a demo or paper account.
- That the history is long enough to mean something, at six months or more.
- Returns, drawdowns and consistency, as confirmed by an independent source rather than your own export.
- That the account is yours and the results are yours.
There is more than one honest way to prove a track record. We walk through the options on verified track record.
What it costs
Free for traders. Allocators pay for access.
You do not pay to apply, to verify, or to be introduced. There is no membership, no subscription and nothing to buy. The people who pay are the allocators: first-loss desks, emerging-manager programs, family offices and managed-account providers. They are the ones who get value from a pre-verified, private pipeline of trader talent.
That is the whole model. We are paid by the side that is buying access to dealflow, which means our incentive is to bring allocators traders worth funding, not to charge traders for hope.
Plain terms
What we are not.
Honesty about the boundaries matters as much as the pitch. So, to be clear:
Not a fund
We do not hold or manage your money, and we do not invest it. We verify and we introduce.
Not an adviser
We are not an investment adviser or broker, and nothing here is investment advice or a solicitation.
Not a prop firm
There is no evaluation account, no profit split on simulated capital, and no monthly fee dressed up as a test.
No challenge to buy
You do not pass a challenge to qualify. You verify a real record, and if you fit a mandate, we make the introduction.
We cannot promise capital, and we never will. What we offer is concrete: get qualified, enter the dealflow, and get in front of allocators who fund real records.
The clock starts when you verify.
Time doesn’t backfill. Start your verified track record today and get in front of allocators.
