What can kill your account

The Funded Trader's biggest account-ending risks, with the evidence behind each.
  • Rule enforcementCritical3/10

    Discretionary or inconsistent enforcement means a rule can be applied after the fact to fail an account or deny a payout.

  • Terms stabilityCritical3/10

    Frequent terms changes can move the goalposts on an account you are already trading under.

    A record of suspending, restricting, or closing funded accounts is a direct account-loss risk regardless of your trading.

  • Pricing honestyElevated4/10

    Resetting timers, perpetual “discounts”, or undisclosed add-ons inflate the real cost of getting and staying funded.

    “One-time challenge fees with heavy near-permanent promotional discounting; effective price discoverable pre-checkout.” source
