Last updated: February 27, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to FundedStart. FundedStart provides access to digital evaluation programs and simulated market environments. These Terms govern your use of our Services. By accessing our platform, you agree to this Agreement.

Service Nature and Legal Disclaimer

FundedStart provides educational digital products, performance-evaluation programs, and simulated market environments only. All activities performed on FundedStart occur entirely within virtual or demo-based simulations. No real capital is handled, processed, invested, or placed into financial markets.

FundedStart is not a broker, does not execute orders, does not match buyers and sellers, does not facilitate access to real financial markets, and does not operate as an introducing broker, financial intermediary, investment advisor, portfolio manager, or any regulated financial service provider.

FundedStart does not accept deposits for financial execution, does not manage client funds, and does not enable participants to engage in live-market transactions. All environments are strictly simulated and operate for educational, assessment, and skill-development purposes.

Any rewards distributed by FundedStart are performance-based incentives derived solely from simulated activities and do not represent returns from financial investments or real-market activity.

Nothing on FundedStart should be interpreted as financial, investment, tax, legal, or economic advice. Participants should consult licensed professionals before making real-world financial decisions.

By using the platform, you acknowledge that all activities occur in simulated environments and do not constitute real-market participation.

About FundedStart

FundedStart offers structured digital assessments that allow participants to test decision-making approaches and personal methodologies within simulated market conditions. Our plans include:

  • Express Evaluation — A streamlined, one-step evaluation for traders who want to get funded quickly.
  • Direct Funding — Skip the evaluation entirely and go straight to a funded simulated account.
  • Starter Account — The most budget-friendly path to a funded trading career.
  • Reset Eligible — An evaluation plan that includes a complimentary reset if needed.

These simulation programs provide a realistic educational experience but do not involve real financial execution.

Commitment to Transparency

We prioritize clarity and integrity. Please review this Agreement carefully before using our Services.

FundedStart may update or modify this Agreement at any time. Continued use of the Services after revisions signifies acceptance of the updated terms.

Guidelines for Simulated Market Activities

Execution of Simulated Actions

Users may carry out virtual operations within the simulation but must not use prohibited patterns.

Best-Practice Principles

Users are encouraged to apply consistent methodologies and responsible decision frameworks.

Data-Sharing Consent

Use of the platform authorizes FundedStart to access and share simulation-related performance data with affiliated parties for operational purposes.

No Advisory Relationship

Your use of the simulations does not constitute advice from FundedStart, nor does FundedStart rely on your simulated decisions as advisory input.

Information Accuracy

FundedStart is not responsible for delays or inaccuracies in simulated-market feeds provided by third-party platforms.

Prohibited Uses

You may not engage in the following:

  • Violations of laws or third-party rights
  • Scraping, crawling, hacking, DoS attempts, or bypassing platform protections
  • Dissemination of unsolicited commercial content
  • Exploiting delays, errors, or inconsistencies in simulation environments
  • Using insider or non-public information
  • Manipulative approaches designed to circumvent system rules
  • Gambling-like behavior including hyper-aggressive methodologies, excessive position-sizing, single-direction exposure without risk logic, or repeated account exploitation
  • Using third-party scripts, hidden systems, unauthorized automation, or identity masking
  • Switching methodologies between evaluation phases when prohibited

Violations result in termination and possible forfeiture of payments.

Elite / Live Phase Requirements
