Model Program Advisors is a proposed CFTC-registered commodity trading advisor that sponsors and operates model-following trading programs for the clients of licensed trading-education and software brands. Clients choose a program and a provider, set their own limits, and keep their own accounts at regulated venues. The adviser holds the client relationship — and nothing else.
Each trading program is described in the adviser's Disclosure Document with its own strategy, fees, risks, and provider catalogue. Brands connect to programs; clients elect them.
Every client reads the Disclosure Document, signs the adviser's agreement, and is the adviser's client for everything advisory. Records, acknowledgments, fees, and complaints live with the adviser.
Clients' accounts stay at their own regulated venue on trade-only API keys. No deposits, no pooling, no custody, no withdrawal authority — ever.
Advisory fees go from clients to the adviser. A fixed per-seat infrastructure license goes from the adviser to the platform operator. Brands are paid by their own members for education and software. Nothing goes from the adviser to any brand, marketer, or software vendor for any client — that one rule keeps every brand's field outside the registration and keeps the adviser independent in fact.
Platforms that replicate an independent manager's trades into subscribers' own brokerage accounts, within subscriber-set limits, have operated in the United States across futures and forex since 2001 — with the platform as neutral software and a registered adviser holding the relationship. Model Program Advisors is that shape, built from the start as a multi-program adviser that any licensed brand can connect to.
