50 Seats. One Price. Every Session for the Life of the Service.

The kind of trader this is for.

Not every trader should buy this.

If you're still deciding whether the third layer of your trading setup is a real thing worth paying for — it is, and the Starter trial will prove it to you in a week. Go do that first. Come back here when you're certain.

If you're testing out trading as a hobby and you're not sure you'll still be doing it in six months — pass. The monthly plans exist for a reason. Fifteen dollars a month for as long as you're interested is a better deal than six hundred dollars for a service you might stop using.

If you trade once a week on swing setups and your fills never diverge from your backtests — you may not need this. The third layer costs you nothing when the network isn't the bottleneck. You'd be buying insurance against a loss you aren't suffering.

This page is for a specific kind of trader. Here's the type.

You trade often enough that your fills matter. Scalping, day trading, news trading, signal-taking — something that makes the difference between a 10ms round-trip and a 200ms round-trip something you feel at the end of the month.

You trade from your own machine. Maybe two machines. Maybe a desktop and a phone. You don't run EAs unattended in a remote datacentre. You are the one clicking the buttons. The execution layer matters because you are live on it.

You have decided, after some amount of trial and error, that your current setup isn't the bottleneck. The broker is fine. The strategy is fine. The account is fine. Something else is eating your edge. You know it's the network because you've run out of other things to blame.

You have also decided, after some amount of financial honesty, that writing a cheque to a VPS provider every month for hardware you never touch is not your idea of a good trade. You want the route, not the rented computer.

You are thinking about the next five years, not the next five days. You want infrastructure you can stop thinking about. You want a line item on your setup that is handled, permanent, and doesn't send you renewal emails.

If that reads like you — or the trader you are becoming — this letter is worth your attention.

If it doesn't, the Starter trial is free. No hard feelings. Go there first.

Why the hardcap comes off.

The monthly plans all have a hardcap.

Starter: 4 GB. Standard: 10 GB. Pro: 20 GB. Once you hit it, access pauses until the next billing cycle. It's a circuit breaker. It exists in case someone tries to route a torrent through us, or run a scraping operation, or use the proxy for something it wasn't built for. Low-commitment monthly signups need that safety rail. It keeps the nodes healthy for everyone.

On a Founder seat, the hardcap comes off.

The reason is simple. You paid $599. You are not an opportunistic signup. You are the kind of user who plans to use this every session for years. The lifetime cost to us of removing the cap on 50 identified, committed users is, in practical terms, negligible. The lifetime value to you of never thinking about bandwidth again is not.

The soft quota stays at 25 GB. After that, speed is managed — not cut. You can still use the service. Your tick data still arrives. Your fills still land. You just don't get the priority allocation above users still under their quota for that month.

Here's what that means in practice.

A 200-byte order packet. A few kilobytes of tick data per second. A handful of keepalive pings. Retail trading traffic is small. Even across 5 terminals — MT5 streaming full depth of market, a Telegram signal room running in the background, a couple of heartbeats from TradingView — your monthly bandwidth tops out in low double-digit gigabytes. You are unlikely to ever hit 25 GB in normal use.

The no-hardcap benefit isn't "now I can stream 4K Netflix through the proxy." It's "the worry goes away." The mental tax of checking a dashboard at the end of every month is deleted. The question "am I about to get throttled" doesn't get asked. For infrastructure you rely on every trading day, that peace of mind is the whole point.

The TOS clauses around personal use cover the edge cases. You can't route a bittorrent client through us. You can't run a web scraper. Those abuses trigger automatic enforcement. But for a retail discretionary trader using this for what it's for, the cap comes off and stays off.

That trade — our risk for your peace of mind — is what $599 is actually buying.

How the Founder cohort came to exist.

This offer exists for a specific reason. It's worth telling you what it is.

The next major tier adds dedicated IPs. That's the build that unlocks the prop firm audience — the traders who can't currently use the service because their payout compliance requires IP uniqueness. That's a large audience. It's also infrastructure-heavy. Dedicated IPs mean more nodes, more IP allocation, more monitoring, more operational overhead. None of that is free.

There are two ways to fund it.

The first way is outside capital. Raise a round from investors. Get a valuation. Issue equity. Sign a term sheet. Turn the company into something that has to grow on someone else's timeline toward someone else's exit. Ship later in eighteen months instead of nine because the next phase has to accommodate board meetings. This is the normal path and plenty of businesses choose it. It has costs.

The second way is to ask 50 traders who already believe in the product to fund it directly.

Each Founder seat is $599. Fifty seats is $29,950. That is enough to fund the dedicated-IP build without taking outside capital. The business stays bootstrapped. The timeline stays ours. The dedicated-IP tier ships when it's ready, not when a board meeting demands it. And 50 traders get the best deal we will ever offer.

That's the trade.

The Founder cohort gets a price that would never be rational for us on a repeating basis. We get the upfront cash to ship the next tier without diluting the business. Fifty serious users own the first rung of the ladder. The business ships the dedicated-IP build without owing anybody anything.

This is also why the price is $599 and not $99. A $99 price would raise $4,950 — not enough to matter. A $299 price would raise $14,950 — still tight. $599 across 50 seats is the minimum viable capital for the build. That's where the price comes from. Not marketing. Infrastructure costs.

And it's why the cap is 50 and not 5,000. Five thousand Founder seats at $599 would raise three million dollars — far more than we need, and at that scale, the "lifetime" promise stops being realistic. Fifty is the number where the math works for both sides.

When the 50 seats sell, the page comes down. Not because we wanted to be dramatic. Because the reason for the offer is gone. The build is funded.

That's the whole structure.

What you're not buying.

Direct response without small print is a scam. Here's the small print. Read it.

You are not buying a dedicated IP today. Founder 50 runs on the same shared-IP node pool as the monthly plans. Each user gets a consistent exit IP session to session — the node's public IP — but that IP is shared with other users on that node. When the dedicated-IP tier ships, Founder holders get the first-access upgrade path. Until then, this is shared infrastructure with a higher allocation. If you need dedicated IP today, this is not for you.

You are not buying a guarantee against business risk. "Lifetime" means the lifetime of the service. If TradersProxy shuts down, your access ends. We consider that extremely unlikely — the business model is profitable on the monthly plans alone, has zero outside capital pressure, and the Founder cohort eliminates the need to raise. But no honest operator promises business immortality. If you need something closer to a guarantee, a publicly traded SaaS is a better vehicle. TradersProxy is a bootstrapped company.

You are not buying a transferable licence. Founder 50 access is tied to your email and ThriveCart customer ID. You cannot sell it. You cannot transfer it. You cannot run a reseller business on it. One person, one seat, personal use. This is what keeps the cap honest — if seats were transferable, a secondary market would form and the scarcity mechanic would break.

You are not buying a refund. This is a one-time purchase of a limited, non-renewable position. By its nature, refunds would defeat the cap. If seat 47 buys and then refunds, seat 51 exists somewhere and the "50 seats, forever" promise becomes a lie. The 7-day Starter trial at $0 for 7 days, cancel from portal any time is the way to evaluate the product risk-free. Come to this page only after that trial has convinced you.

You are not buying support beyond what the portal provides. TradersProxy runs as a low-touch, faceless operation. Self-serve dashboard. Documented setup. Automated monitoring. Founder status does not unlock a private support queue, a founder-chat Discord, a monthly call, or a personal account manager. The product is the relationship. If you need a service that includes human-in-the-loop support, this is not that service. If you want infrastructure that quietly works and doesn't ask anything of you, this is exactly that.

You are not buying a promise that the spec never changes. The spec above is a floor, not a ceiling. If we raise the quota on Pro to 20 GB in 2027, your Founder quota doesn't drop to match — it stays at 25 GB or rises further. Founder spec only moves upward. But the monthly plans around it might evolve. Pro at $25/mo today might become Pro at $30/mo in two years. Your Founder seat is insulated from that. The only thing that ever changes about a Founder seat is upward.

Everything you are buying is in the spec table at the top of this page. Nothing not in that table is implied.

The cap is real. Here's how.

Limited offers are usually a lie. Ours isn't. Here's how to tell the difference.

The cap is enforced at the checkout provider level. ThriveCart holds the inventory count. When a purchase completes, the counter decrements. When the counter reaches zero, ThriveCart refuses the next purchase. The checkout button on this page stops working. There is no admin override that can add more. There is no "we had one customer refund so we'll sell one more seat" because there are no refunds.

When the page goes dark, it stays dark.

There will not be a Founder 50 version two. The reason the offer exists — funding the dedicated-IP build — goes away once the dedicated-IP build is funded. Running another lifetime cohort after that would just dilute the value for the original 50 without solving any problem we have.

There will not be a waitlist. There will not be a "get notified if seats open up" form. There will not be a secondary market — seats are non-transferable and tied to ThriveCart customer IDs we control.

What will exist after the 50 sell: the monthly plans, priced as they are, at $9, $15, and $25. They will still be good. They will still serve most traders well. They will still include the 7-day Starter trial. They just won't be $599 once for life.

If you are reading this and the counter says 50 — or 47, or 23, or 6 — the seat is available. Reading it doesn't claim it. Closing the tab doesn't hold it. Each seat is claimed the moment the checkout completes for someone. That someone might be the next visitor after you.

We aren't going to pressure you with a countdown timer. There isn't a "price doubles in 24 hours" mechanic. There isn't a "last chance" email. The pressure is exactly the cap. When it's gone, it's gone.

That's the entire scarcity story. No theatre. Just inventory.
