6% per Arlo. Up to 30 days.
Fund one Trader with $10,000. If the wallet has enough at the end, you get $10,600 back: your money plus a $600 bonus paid from the Trader's fee. Any loss has to use up the Trader's money, a buffer and Arlo's fee before it can reach your bonus or your money.

WHY YOUR MONEY IS PAID FIRST AND LOST LAST
The Trader trades the $15,000 wallet. A loss first uses the Trader's $4,000, then a $250 buffer. Next comes Arlo's $150. Your $600 bonus comes after that, and your $10,000 comes last. Everything in front of yours is used up before your money is touched.
$4,000 first
All open positions share this limit. An order that would go over it is refused.
$250 next
More of the Trader's money, kept above the $10,750 owed.
$11,000 ends the trade
If the wallet falls to $11,000, the Arlo ends. It cannot be topped up or restarted.
WHERE THE $600 COMES FROM
There is one Trader and one Backer. The Trader puts in $5,000 and you put in $10,000. The Trader pays a fixed $750 fee, even if they end early. $600 of it is your bonus and $150 goes to Arlo. The fee is paid from the Arlo wallet at the end.
One Arlo, two seats
Your $10,000 and the Trader's $5,000 make a $15,000 wallet. It is one Trader, one Backer, and one set of payout rules.
Up to $10,600
The $600 bonus is included in the maximum payout. You get it only if the wallet has enough at the end.
HOW THE PAYOUT WORKS

$150

paid after your bonus
the remainder
Left for the Trader
whatever is left belongs to the Trader
The wallet owes $10,750: your $10,000, your $600 bonus and Arlo's $150. The Trader's extra $250 puts the line where trading ends at $11,000. It helps pay for a hard close, but it does not promise you a full payout.
If the wallet has enough, you are paid first, then Arlo, then the Trader keeps what is left. If the wallet is short, losses are taken in the order below. Your bonus is only lost after Arlo's share, and your money only after your bonus.

$10,000
Your money
last in line; only lost after all four amounts above are gone
A loss uses the Trader's $4,000 first, then the $250 buffer. Arlo's $150 comes next, then your $600, then your $10,000. A problem at GMX, the Arbitrum network stopping, or a sudden price move can still leave the wallet short.
RULES AND RISKS
Every trade is checked before it opens
The Trader sets a stop, or puts the whole margin at risk, and the wallet counts that possible loss before the order opens. A stop closes the position near a price; it cannot promise the exact price.
$4,000 Trader money first
All open positions share this limit. The wallet refuses an order that would go over it.
Trading ends at $11,000
When the wallet falls to $11,000, the Arlo ends. That does not promise every close or payout will be covered.
Fixed wallet payments
The Arlo wallet can only pay four fixed places. Your own account is separate, and only your wallet can move money out of it.
GMX, Arbitrum and USDC risk
Sudden price moves, GMX going down, the Arbitrum network stopping, or USDC losing value can shrink the wallet. Arlo cannot control these.
FROM START TO PAYOUT
01
Fund the seat
Put $10,000 in your Arlo account. It stays yours while you wait for a Trader.
02
Wait to be matched
We cannot say how long matching takes. While you wait, you can leave and take your money back.
03
Your money goes into the Arlo
When a Trader takes the other seat, your money moves into that Arlo's wallet. After that you cannot leave early.
04
The Arlo runs
The Trader trades the $15,000 wallet for up to 30 days. The Trader may end it early, or it ends sooner if the wallet falls to $11,000.
05
You get paid
At the end, the wallet checks whether its cash covers the $10,750 owed. If it does, everyone is paid in one step and open positions stay open for the Trader. If not, positions are closed first. You get up to $10,600 before the Trader gets anything.
MORE THAN ONE ARLO
How much is in your account decides how many seats you can fund. Each seat takes $10,000. When an Arlo ends, your money comes back to your account, and it does not join a new Arlo unless you tell it to.
One seat at a time
Each time you join, you take one seat. A bigger balance lets you fund more Arlos, but each one is separate.
You choose when to repeat
Auto-join is optional and can be turned off. Money from a finished Arlo waits in your account until you join again. You can withdraw between Arlos.
YOUR DECISION
Take the seat only if you are fine with three things. Your $10,000 is locked in for up to 30 days. It can come back smaller if the wallet is short. And you cannot take it out once you are matched. If you change your mind, leave before you are matched.
