This Risk Disclosure Statement ("Disclosure") is provided by Trade Up Funding ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") to inform users about the inherent risks associated with binary options trading and participation in simulated trading tournaments hosted on our platform, accessible via https://tradeupfunding.com and https://challenge.tradeupfunding.com (collectively, the "Platform").
By accessing or using the Platform, including registering for any of our binary options tournaments or simulated prop trading activities, you acknowledge and accept the risks outlined in this Disclosure. If you do not agree with any part of this statement, you must refrain from using the Platform.
1. General Risk Statement
1.1 Trading in binary options involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all individuals. Although the tournaments hosted on our Platform operate in a simulated environment, the same principles of emotional decision-making, psychological discipline, and strategic risk-taking apply.
1.2 Binary options are inherently speculative and involve short-term market predictions that can be highly volatile. Even when no real capital is at stake, participants may experience decision fatigue, overconfidence, fear of loss, and performance anxiety, all of which reflect real trading pressures.
1.3 Participation in our tournaments should be based solely on an understanding of the risks involved and a willingness to engage in simulated activities where performance is subject to variable outcomes.
2. Simulation Disclaimer
2.1 All trading activity conducted on the Trade Up Funding Platform is simulated. This means that no real money is traded, invested, gained, or lost;
2.2 Performance results obtained through participation in tournaments or simulated prop trading challenges are purely indicative and should not be interpreted as predictive of success or profitability in real-money trading environments.
2.3 The prizes awarded to winners of our tournaments are based solely on relative ranking within the simulated environment. These prizes do not equate to real-world investment returns and must not be construed as validation of financial proficiency.
3. No Guarantee of Success
3.1 Past performance in any tournament or challenge does not guarantee future results, either within our Platform or in any other trading context.
3.2 Winning a simulated tournament, receiving a payout, or demonstrating superior results in a practice environment is not indicative of future trading success, especially when transitioning to real-money accounts subject to market conditions, emotional pressures, and real-time execution factors.
3.3 Many factors that affect profitability in live trading—including slippage, spread variation, execution speed, and liquidity risk—are artificially simulated in our environment.
4. Market Volatility
4.1 Binary options trading strategies are often highly sensitive to short-term market volatility. In real markets, such volatility can cause rapid and irreversible losses.
5. User Responsibility
5.1 Users are solely and entirely responsible for:
Developing and applying their own trading strategies;
Understanding how binary options function;
Assessing whether simulated participation is suitable for their learning objectives.
5.2 The Company does not provide guarantees, warranties, or representations regarding your individual understanding of trading mechanics or ability to generate results.
5.3 Participation in the Platform is at your own discretion and risk. You should only engage in simulated tournaments if you have independently assessed your readiness to do so and accept all associated risks.
6. No Investment Advice
6.1 Trade Up Funding is not a financial advisor, broker, or investment firm. We do not provide:
Personalized investment advice;
Recommendations for specific financial instruments;
Trading strategies intended for real-market execution.
6.2 All educational resources, platform tools, and tournament structures are provided for training and entertainment purposes only.
7. Legal Restrictions
7.1 Binary options are subject to regulatory restrictions and may be banned or heavily limited in your jurisdiction.
7.2 It is the sole responsibility of each user to ensure that their participation on the Platform complies with local, national, or international laws, including those related to online trading simulations, competitions, and financial instruments.
7.3 Trade Up Funding does not solicit or offer services to residents of jurisdictions where binary options trading or simulated competitions are not legally permitted.
