The Patient Idiot Rewards Club
Trading is more fun with people along for the ride. The Rewards Club is my way of saying thanks for being part of this community. When I win, you win too. Here's exactly how it works.
What Is The Rewards Club?
Every time I get a trading payout over $500, I share a percentage of that profit with eligible community members. The more involved you are, the bigger your cut. It's not an investment, it's not a financial product — it's fan appreciation, plain and simple. You support the channel, I share the upside.
The Tiers
Intern — Free The starting point. Free to subscribe, no catch. Eligible Interns share from the Intern pool — 10% of every qualifying payout, split among everyone who qualifies.
Associate — $19.99/mo · $49.99/qtr · $159.99/yr: Everything Interns get, plus access to a second exclusive pool. Associates earn from the Intern pool (10%) AND the Associate pool (10%) — 20% combined. Because the Associate pool is split among fewer people, your individual cut is meaningfully larger than an Intern's.
Director — $59.99/mo · $149.99/qtr · $499.99/yr: Everything Associates get, plus access to a third exclusive pool. Directors earn from the Intern pool (10%), the Associate pool (10%), AND the Director pool (10%) — 30% combined. Private chat, DMs, and a monthly strategy breakdown included. The Director pool is split among an even smaller group, meaning a bigger individual cut than Associate.
Principal — $4,999.99 one-time: The highest tier, available to a limited number of members. Principals are in all four reward pools simultaneously — the Intern pool (10%), the Associate pool (10%), the Director pool (10%), and an exclusive Principal-only pool (20%). That's up to 50% of every qualifying payout, stacked across four pools, split among the smallest group. After your first year, you roll into Director pool access. Once this tier closes, it's gone permanently.
How The Pools Stack
Think of it like layers. Each tier you move up, you get access to an additional pool on top of what you already had.
The percentages represent the total pool available. Your individual share depends on how many eligible members are in each pool at payout time. Fewer people in your pool means a bigger cut for you.
How Payouts Work
I trade prop firm accounts. When I receive a payout over $500, the Rewards Club activates and the full amount is in play.
Example: I receive a $2,000 payout.
Intern pool (10%): $200 — split among all eligible Interns, Associates, Directors, and Principals
Associate pool (10%): $200 — split among Associates, Directors, and Principals only
Director pool (10%): $200 — split among Directors and Principals only
Principal pool (20%): $400 — split among Principals only
I keep (50%): $1,000
What that looks like per person:
200 Interns → each earns $1.00
20 Associates → each earns $1.00 + $10.00 = $11.00
10 Directors → each earns $1.00 + $10.00 + $20.00 = $31.00
5 Principals → each earns $1.00 + $10.00 + $20.00 + $80.00 = $111.00
The math is simple, the fewer people in your pool, the bigger your individual cut. That's why upgrading your tier matters, especially while the community is still small.Payouts happen weekly or biweekly depending on my trading activity. As I scale up accounts, both the frequency and size of payouts grow.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for a payout you must meet all of the following at the time of each payout:
Be subscribed to The Patient Idiot on YouTube
Be a follower on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok
Be an active subscriber to this newsletter
Have watched, liked and commented on the video or stream that generated the profit within 24 hours of publication
Every payout is tied to a specific piece of content. If you miss the 24 hour engagement window on that content, you are not eligible for that payout. There are no exceptions. This keeps the rewards fair for people who are genuinely active in the community.
Why The 24 Hour Rule?
Because this isn't a passive income scheme. The Rewards Club exists to build a real, engaged community — not to reward people who signed up once and disappeared. The 24 hour window keeps things honest. Show up, engage, get rewarded.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I actually get paid? Payout details will be sent via newsletter. You'll need to confirm your eligibility and submit your information through the process outlined in each payout announcement.
What if I'm on the free tier — is it worth it? Honestly, at smaller payout sizes and larger community sizes, free tier earnings will be modest. The free tier is a great way to follow along and get a taste of the rewards. If the numbers matter to you, upgrading to a paid tier is where the individual cut gets meaningful.
Is this an investment? No. This is fan appreciation and community rewards tied to content engagement. You are paying for access to a content creator's newsletter, community, and exclusive posts. The profit share is a perk, not a return on investment.
What happens to Principal members after year one? You roll into the standard paid member pool — same access and benefits as a Monthly or Annual member, for as long as your subscription is active.
How many Principal spots are available? Limited. Once the tier closes, it's closed. There will be no second round of Principal pricing.
What counts as a qualifying payout? Any prop firm trading payout I receive that exceeds $500. Each payout is tied to specific content documenting that trade.
The Rewards Club is a community appreciation program. It is not a financial product, investment vehicle, or guaranteed income. Payouts depend on trading performance and are not guaranteed.
