Legal Disclosures

These disclosures apply to PropShopTrader’s programs, including all evaluation programs, assessment environments, and any potential access to live trading through third-party regulated brokerage partners.

1. Firm Status and Scope of Services

PropShopTrader is a proprietary trading firm and trading technology provider. We are not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, futures commission merchant, exchange, or clearing firm, and we do not hold ourselves out as such.

PropShopTrader does not solicit or accept public investments, does not operate an investment fund, and does not pool customer capital.

Nothing on this website or within our program constitutes:

  • Investment advice
  • A recommendation to buy or sell securities
  • An offer or solicitation of securities
  • A guarantee of profits or avoidance of losses


2. Evaluation Programs (Simulated / Assessment Environment)

PropShopTrader offers structured evaluation and assessment programs designed to evaluate trading skill, discipline, and risk management behavior.

All evaluation activity occurs in a simulated or assessment environment.

Results generated during evaluations:

  • Do not represent real trading
  • Do not reflect actual brokerage execution
  • Do not create any entitlement to compensation
  • Are used solely for assessment and qualification purposes


Evaluation results are one of multiple factors considered when determining eligibility for potential next-stage opportunities.


3. Transition to Live Trading

Certain participants may be considered for access to live trading through third-party regulated brokerage firms with whom PropShopTrader maintains commercial relationships.

Key clarifications:

  • Live trading access is not guaranteed
  • Selection is discretionary and subject to eligibility, risk, compliance, and operational review
  • Any live trading relationship is governed by separate agreements
  • Brokerage services (execution, custody, clearing, margin, reporting) are provided solely by the third-party broker
  • PropShopTrader does not act as broker, custodian, or counterparty


Participation in evaluation programs does not create an employment relationship, investment advisory relationship, brokerage relationship, or entitlement to a live account.


4. Simulated Trading Payouts

PropShopTrader does not provide payouts, profit sharing, or compensation of any kind based on simulated trading activity or simulated trading results.

This includes, without limitation:

  • Simulated profit payouts
  • Performance-based rewards derived from simulated trading
  • Profit splits tied to evaluation results


This structure is intentionally designed to discourage reliance on simulated trading outcomes as a basis for compensation and to better align incentives with real-market participation under regulated conditions.


5. Signing Bonuses (Live Trading Phase)

In lieu of simulated trading payouts, PropShopTrader offers signing bonuses to certain individuals who successfully complete the evaluation process and are approved for participation in live trading under a separate arrangement.

Important clarifications regarding signing bonuses:

  • Signing bonuses are not tied to simulated trading profits or simulated trading performance
  • Signing bonuses are not derived from simulated results
  • Signing bonuses are not profit splits
  • Signing bonuses are not guaranteed


A signing bonus, if offered, is structured in a manner similar to signing bonuses offered in other professional or commercial engagements. It is provided as a discretionary incentive associated with onboarding into a live trading opportunity and is governed by separate terms and conditions.

The purpose of this structure is to:

  • Avoid compensation mechanisms linked to simulated performance
  • Reduce regulatory and structural risks associated with simulated payouts
  • Provide a clearer, real-market-aligned pathway for individuals who progress beyond evaluation


The existence or amount of any signing bonus is determined at PropShopTrader’s sole discretion and may be subject to additional conditions, documentation, or agreements.


6. Trading Risks & Speculation

Trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all individuals. You should be prepared to lose money.

Risks include, without limitation:

  • Market volatility and price gaps
  • Liquidity constraints and execution risk
  • Trading halts and regulatory restrictions
  • Short-selling risks, including forced buy-ins
  • Concentration and issuer-specific risk
  • Technology failures, data outages, and connectivity issues
  • Extended hours trading risks, including wider spreads and lower liquidity


Past performance, including evaluation results, does not predict future outcomes.


7. Educational Content and Communications

All content provided by PropShopTrader including platform analytics, dashboards, commentary, chat, videos, emails, streams, or community discussions is general information only.

We do not provide:

  • Personalized investment advice
  • Trade recommendations
  • Portfolio management services


All trading decisions are made independently by the participant.


8. Hypothetical / Simulated Performance Disclosure

Simulated or hypothetical performance results have inherent limitations.

  • They do not represent actual trading
  • Trades are not executed in live markets
  • Results may reflect idealized assumptions
  • Liquidity, slippage, fees, and market impact may differ materially in live conditions


No representation is made that any participant will achieve similar results in live trading.


9. Fees, Rules, and Enforcement

Evaluation fees are paid solely for access to program infrastructure, technology, analytics, and assessment processes.

Program rules, risk limits, prohibited conduct, and enforcement actions are defined in PropShopTrader’s:


Violations may result in suspension, termination, or disqualification without refund, as outlined in those documents.


10. Third-Party Providers and Technology Risk

PropShopTrader relies on third-party technology, market data providers, infrastructure vendors, and regulated brokerage partners.

We are not responsible for:

  • Execution delays
  • Data inaccuracies
  • Connectivity failures
  • Broker outages
  • Market center disruptions


11. Regulatory Considerations and Participant Responsibility

Depending on jurisdiction, trading activity may be subject to securities laws, tax laws, and regulatory requirements.

Participants are solely responsible for:

  • Determining whether participation is lawful in their jurisdiction
  • Understanding applicable tax consequences
  • Complying with all local, state, federal, and international laws


Consult qualified legal and tax professionals before participating.


12. Jurisdictional Restrictions and Compliance

Participation may be restricted based on:

  • Jurisdiction
  • Sanctions regimes
  • AML/KYC requirements
  • Internal compliance policies


Identity verification and screening may be required prior to or after evaluation completion.


13. No Guarantees; No Reliance

PropShopTrader makes no guarantees regarding:

  • Evaluation outcomes
  • Access to live trading
  • Signing bonuses
  • Profitability
  • Continuation of any program


You should not rely on any statement or example as indicative of future results.
