What is this, exactly?
Vela is a trading pod - not another prop firm.
Hedge funds run pods: small teams with shared capital and a framework. The portfolio manager calls direction. Traders execute. Capital flows to whoever performs. That's what we've built - except anyone can join.
The Framework
A systematic overlay that owns direction — long, short, or neutral. Real edge, published daily.
Traders
You execute the view. Timing, sizing, risk management — that's your job.
Shared Profits
Follow the framework, grow your allocation. Ignore it, lose your seat.

The Vela Framework
Crypto moves on macro — liquidity, risk appetite, global momentum. Our framework tracks 40+ cross-asset indicators to identify turning points before they hit.
Every day we publish a view: Long, Short, or Neutral. The framework skews the odds in your favor. Your discipline captures them.
Losses with the view count at 50%
You traded with the framework and lost? That's variance, not indiscipline. Your loss counts half.
Profits with the view count at 100%
Disciplined trades contribute fully to your target.
3 strikes and you're out
Trade against the framework and you carry the full weight. Keep fighting it, you're off the desk.
You bring the discipline. The framework brings the edge.
