Futures involve substantial risk
Futures trading can involve leverage, fast price changes, and losses. A risk limit or stop order does not guarantee a particular execution price. Consider the risks of any live financial activity independently of a simulated evaluation.
Simulation is different from live trading
Simulated orders may not reproduce liquidity, queue position, slippage, market impact, or the pressure of risking real money. Positive simulated results do not establish future live performance.
Fees, time, and payouts
A participant may spend evaluation fees and time without passing or receiving a payout. Account balances and evaluation profits are simulated. Payout eligibility and payments depend on the program rules and approval; they are not guaranteed income.
Technology and execution
A network interruption, incorrect symbol, order-entry error, or delayed quote can affect trading. Read the actual platform instructions and confirm order and position status when something goes wrong.
Educational context
The content and examples describe a program. They are not personalized financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell a contract.
