Risk disclosure

Read this before buying an evaluation. It describes what can go wrong and what you stand to lose. Nothing here is financial advice.
You can lose the entire fee you pay, and most people do.An evaluation fee is not refundable and is not returned when you fail. Buying one should be a decision you can afford to be wrong about.
Most participants do not pass. That is true across this industry, and it is true here. Plan on the assumption that you will not.
The fee is spent whether you pass or fail
You are buying an assessment, not a stake. The fee pays for the evaluation to be run against a published rulebook. It is charged when the evaluation opens and is not returned afterwards — not on a failure, not on a breach in the first minute, and not if you change your mind.
You are not trading real money — and not making it either
The balance you trade is simulated. No order reaches a venue, no position sits in a market, and none of your capital is at risk. The corollary matters just as much: simulated profit is not money. It becomes money only if you pass, become eligible, complete verification, and successfully claim from the contract.
Passing does not guarantee payment
A payout can fail to arrive for reasons that have nothing to do with your trading:
- The dispute window. The contract refuses a claim until the window has elapsed. Within it, a resolution can be reverted if a verdict is found to be wrong.
- Verification. We require identity verification and sanctions screening before releasing funds. If you cannot complete these, or a screening match cannot be resolved, you will not be paid.
- Treasury solvency. Payouts are made from a treasury with a finite balance, and the contract caps the payout per tier. Current solvency is published on the statistics page.
- You must claim it. A payout is claimed by you, from your wallet, by calling the contract. We cannot send it on your behalf.
The rules end evaluations, often quickly
Each tier sets a maximum drawdown, a daily loss limit, a maximum position size and a time limit. Breaching any of them ends the evaluation immediately, with no warning beyond what is on screen. A daily limit resets at UTC midnight, which may not be midnight where you are. The full parameters are on the rules page — read them before you buy, not after.
Prices come from an oracle, and oracles can fail
Fills are priced from a recorded oracle observation, not from your browser. If no usable price is available your order is refused rather than filled at a guess — which is the safe failure, but it does mean you may be unable to trade or to exit when you want to. A price can also move sharply between your decision and the fill.
Chain and wallet risk
Buying an evaluation and claiming a payout are on-chain transactions on BNB Chain. Network congestion can delay them and gas costs are yours. If you lose access to the wallet that owns an account, the payout is unrecoverable — the contract pays the owning address and nobody, including us, can redirect it.
Smart contract risk
The contracts holding and releasing funds are software. Software has defects. A defect in a contract can result in funds being locked or lost, and a deployed contract cannot simply be patched.
Regulatory and tax risk
The rules covering this kind of service differ by country and are changing. A regulatory change could restrict or end the service where you live, at short notice. Any payout you receive may be taxable, and that is your responsibility to determine and declare. We do not give tax advice.
If you recognise yourself here, do not buy
Do not buy an evaluation with money you need. Do not buy one to recover a previous loss. Do not buy a larger tier because a smaller one failed. If trading has become something you feel compelled to do rather than choose to do, stop, and seek support from a problem-gambling service in your country.
