Trading involves substantial risk.

Know what can go wrong.

Futures and leveraged trading can produce rapid gains or losses. Market conditions may change without warning, and risk controls do not eliminate the possibility of loss.

An evaluation is not funding.

Buying access to a prop firm evaluation does not mean that you have received capital, passed an assessment or become entitled to a payout. Each program applies its own current rules.

• Profit targets, drawdown limits, consistency rules and minimum trading days can affect eligibility.
• A rule breach may end an evaluation or funded-stage account and may require another paid attempt.
• Rules, pricing, platforms, eligibility and payout terms can change. Always review the firm's official terms before purchase and before requesting a payout.
• TraderPayout does not control a firm's approval, denial, account closure or payment decision.

"Funded" may still mean simulated.

Many prop firm programs use simulated trading environments during evaluations and may continue using simulated accounts after a trader qualifies. Branding and terminology vary by firm.

Do not assume an account is live because it is described as "funded." Confirm the account environment directly in the firm's current official documentation.

Consider the full cost.

The advertised evaluation price may not represent the complete cost of participation. Depending on the program, costs may include subscriptions, resets, activation charges, data fees, platform fees or other charges.

Payouts are conditional.

Past payout evidence does not establish that every trader will qualify, that a firm will approve a future request or that the same terms will remain available. Payout timing, limits, methods, reviews and eligibility checks may vary.

Promotional discounts are temporary. Availability, percentage, eligible products and conditions should be verified on the provider's checkout page before payment.
