ICTP (House Capital)

What Is ICTP?

ICTP stands for Inhouse Capital Traders Program. When you complete KYC verification on GE-AS, you receive $50 of trading capital from the platform. This is real money you can trade with. It is not a demo or simulation.

The purpose is simple: you can start trading immediately without depositing your own funds. The platform provides the starting capital. You provide the trading.

Where to Find It

On your home page under My Wallet, you will see the ICTP card labelled "INHOUSE CAPITAL TRADERS PROGRAM" with a blue ICTP badge. It shows your current ICTP balance and a "Move" button.

How It Works

Your ICTP wallet starts at $50. You trade with it just like your main wallet. When you place a bid, you choose which wallet to pay from:

  • Main Wallet uses your personal funds.
  • ICTP Balance uses your house capital.

On the product page, you will see both options under "Pay from:" with your available balance shown for each. Select the one you want and place your bid.

The $50 Is Permanently Locked

The original $50 principal never leaves your ICTP wallet. It is always retained. You cannot withdraw it, transfer it, or spend it down to zero. It stays in ICTP as your base trading capital.

What you CAN withdraw is the profit you earn above that $50.

When You Can Withdraw

You cannot withdraw ICTP profits at any time. There is a threshold:

Your ICTP balance must reach $100 before any withdrawal is available.

That means you need to trade your $50 up to at least $100. The first $50 is locked. The amount above $50 is your profit and becomes withdrawable once the total reaches $100.

On the ICTP withdrawal page, you will see a progress bar showing:

  • $50 locked on the left
  • $100 target on the right
  • Your current progress toward the withdrawal threshold

Until you reach $100, the page shows "No Profits Available Yet" with a prompt to go to the Bid Market and start trading.

How Withdrawals Work

Once your ICTP balance is above $100, you can move your profits to your main wallet. Here is how the split works:

Your main wallet receives 60% of the withdrawable amount. The remaining 40% stays in your ICTP wallet.

The 40% that stays is not a fee. It grows your ICTP trading pool so you have more capital to trade with next time.

Example:

  1. You start with $50 in ICTP.
  2. You trade successfully and your ICTP balance reaches $110.
  3. Withdrawable amount = $110 minus $50 (locked) = $60.
  4. You click "Move" on the ICTP card.
  5. Main wallet receives 60% of $60 = $36. You can withdraw this.
  6. ICTP keeps 40% of $60 = $24, plus the $50 locked = $74 in ICTP.
  7. You now have $74 in ICTP to trade with, more than you started with.

The ICTP Withdrawal Page

When you click "Move" on the ICTP card, you see four stat cards:

What You Can Do with ICTP

  • Bid on products using your ICTP wallet
  • Earn profits from successful trades
  • Move profits to your main wallet once you reach $100
  • Withdraw those profits from your main wallet normally

What You Cannot Do with ICTP

  • Withdraw the original $50 principal
  • Move profits before reaching the $100 threshold
  • Top up your ICTP wallet with your own funds
  • Use ICTP funds for AI trading plan purchases
  • Transfer ICTP capital directly to your main wallet

Tips

  • Start small. Use ICTP to bid on lower-value products while you learn the system. The $50 is enough for several bids.
  • Let the 40% work for you. Every time you withdraw, 40% stays in ICTP. Over time your ICTP pool grows, letting you make bigger bids with house money.
  • Check your progress. The withdrawal page shows exactly how close you are to the $100 threshold. Keep trading until you reach it.
