DRT Founding Member Application

DRT is intentionally small.

We are not looking for the most experienced trader, the largest portfolio, or the person most willing to pay.

We are looking for people who align with how we think about wealth, ownership, discipline, self-awareness, growth, reciprocity, and freedom.

You do not need to be an advanced trader or investor.

You do need to be willing to learn, question yourself, take ownership, receive feedback, respect risk, and do the work.

There are no perfect answers. We value honesty over performance.
