Trading in financial markets, including futures, forex, and other derivatives, involves substantial risk of loss. Proprietary trading firms ("prop firms") offer opportunities that come with their own unique risks and challenges.

1. General Trading Risks

Trading is inherently risky. You should be aware that:

  • You can lose some or all of your initial investment or evaluation fees
  • Past performance is not indicative of future results
  • Markets can be volatile and unpredictable
  • Leverage can amplify both gains and losses
  • Trading requires significant time, education, and experience
  • Most traders lose money, especially in their early years

2. Prop Firm Specific Risks

When engaging with proprietary trading firms, you should understand:

  • Evaluation Fees: Most prop firms charge fees for evaluations or challenges that are non-refundable if you fail
  • Rule Violations: Prop firms have strict trading rules, and violations can result in account termination and loss of fees paid
  • Payout Delays: Payouts may be subject to delays, verification processes, or additional requirements
  • Rule Changes: Prop firms may change their rules, terms, or conditions at any time
  • Business Risk: Prop firms are businesses that can fail, change ownership, or cease operations
  • No Guarantees: There is no guarantee of funding, payouts, or continued operation
