Risk Disclosure
Last updated: February 27, 2026
Important Notice
Please read this Risk Disclosure statement carefully before using FundedStart's services. This document outlines the risks associated with simulated trading environments and the limitations of our platform.
Nature of Services
FundedStart provides access to simulated trading environments for educational and evaluation purposes only. All trading activities on our platform are conducted using virtual capital in demo-based simulations. No real money is invested, traded, or placed into live financial markets through our platform.
FundedStart is not a broker, financial institution, investment advisor, or any form of regulated financial services provider. We do not execute real trades, hold client funds, or facilitate access to live financial markets.
Simulated Trading Risks
While our simulations aim to replicate real market conditions as closely as possible, participants should be aware of the following:
- Simulated results differ from real trading — Past performance in simulated environments does not guarantee future results in live markets. Simulated trading does not involve financial risk, which can significantly affect decision-making.
- Market data limitations — Simulated price feeds may experience delays, gaps, or discrepancies compared to live market data. FundedStart is not responsible for inaccuracies in third-party data feeds.
- Execution differences — Simulated order execution may differ from live market execution in terms of fill rates, slippage, and latency.
- Psychological factors — Trading with virtual capital does not replicate the emotional and psychological pressures of risking real money, which can lead to overconfidence or unrealistic expectations.
- Platform availability — Simulated environments may experience downtime, technical issues, or interruptions that could affect your evaluation results.
No Financial Advice
Nothing provided by FundedStart — including educational content, simulated trading tools, performance analytics, or any communication from our team — constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
FundedStart does not recommend specific trading strategies, financial instruments, or market positions. Any examples, demonstrations, or educational materials are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as recommendations.
You should always consult with a qualified, licensed financial advisor before making any real-world trading or investment decisions.
Real Market Trading Risks
If you choose to trade in live financial markets independently (outside of FundedStart), you should understand the following risks:
- Capital loss — Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss. You may lose some or all of your invested capital.
- Leverage risk — Leveraged products such as forex, CFDs, and futures can amplify both gains and losses significantly.
- Market volatility — Financial markets can be highly volatile and unpredictable. Prices can move rapidly against your position.
- Liquidity risk — Some markets or instruments may have limited liquidity, making it difficult to exit positions at desired prices.
- Regulatory risk — Changes in laws, regulations, or policies can impact your ability to trade or the value of your positions.
- Counterparty risk — The financial condition of brokers and institutions you deal with can affect your positions and funds.
Performance-Based Rewards
Any rewards, payouts, or compensation distributed by FundedStart are performance-based incentives derived solely from simulated trading activities. These payments:
- Do not represent returns on financial investments
- Do not constitute profits from real market trading
- Are subject to the terms, conditions, and rules of each program
- May be revoked if violations of our Terms and Conditions are detected

Third-Party Platforms

Use of third-party platforms is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies.
