1. Acceptance of Terms & Acknowledgment
Welcome to Day Trader Funding (“DTF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by DTR Trading LLC. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website and all related services, including our trading evaluation programs and funded trading accounts (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing our website, creating an account, purchasing an evaluation, or using any of our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services.
Mandatory Acknowledgment: As a condition of registration and at checkout, you must explicitly acknowledge and agree that all trading accounts are simulated, payouts are discretionary, and that you have read and agree to these Terms.
2. Eligibility & KYC
You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction if higher, to use our Services.
Our Services are not available to residents of countries subject to U.S. sanctions or trade restrictions, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, and any other region subject to OFAC sanctions.
We reserve the right to require identity verification at any time, including prior to processing any payouts. Failure to provide satisfactory verification will result in account termination and forfeiture of pending or future payouts.
3. Account Registration
You agree to provide accurate information, maintain the security of your credentials, notify us of unauthorised access, and accept responsibility for all activity under your account.
One account policy: each individual may maintain only one user profile. Creating multiple profiles, directly or through proxies, is prohibited and will result in termination of all accounts without refund.
4. Description of Services
We provide simulated trading evaluations, simulated funded accounts with the opportunity to earn performance-based compensation, and educational resources for informational purposes only.
Day Trader Funding is NOT a broker-dealer or securities exchange, a Futures Commission Merchant, a Commodity Trading Advisor, an investment advisor or financial planner, or an introducing broker. We do not hold customer funds for trading purposes and do not provide investment advice. All trading occurs in simulated environments with real-time market data.
5. Evaluation Program
The evaluation is a simulated trading assessment using real-time market data. You are not trading with real money. All evaluation accounts are subject to the rules published on our Rules page, including profit targets, maximum drawdown limits, minimum trading days, position sizing limits and trading hour restrictions. Rules are subject to change.
Successfully completing the evaluation entitles you to receive a funded account, subject to identity verification and compliance with these Terms.
6. Funded Accounts
Funded accounts are simulated trading accounts with real-time market data. The capital shown in your account is simulated.
Traders who generate simulated profits may receive cash compensation based on their performance. This compensation is a discretionary performance-based bonus, not wages, salary, investment returns, or a contractual obligation. Violation of any rule may result in immediate account termination without compensation.
7. Payouts & Compensation
To be eligible for payouts you must have a funded account in good standing, have simulated profits available, complete identity verification, and comply with all account rules and these Terms.
Payout amounts and frequency are subject to the limits published on our Rules page. Payouts are processed through third-party payment providers and may be subject to holds for verification and risk assessment.
All tax obligations arising from payouts are solely your responsibility. We do not withhold taxes and may require completed tax forms before processing payouts.
8. Trading Rules
All trading activity is subject to the rules published on our Rules page, including drawdown limits, trading hours, contract limits and minimum trading days. Violation of any trading rule may result in immediate account termination without refund or compensation.
9. Prohibited Activities & Anti-Gaming
The following are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account termination, forfeiture of all fees paid, and forfeiture of any pending payouts:
- Hedging across multiple accounts — opposite positions in the same or correlated instruments across accounts
- Latency arbitrage — exploiting simulated data feed delays or platform lag
- External signal copy trading designed to exploit evaluation parameters
- Unauthorised automation — bots or Expert Advisors without prior written approval
- Opposing positions opened simultaneously to guarantee risk-free profit
- Account sharing — sharing credentials or allowing a third party to trade on your behalf
- Platform exploitation — exploiting errors, bugs, pricing discrepancies or technical glitches
- Other malicious activity — manipulative practices, collusion, false registration information, or using VPNs to circumvent geographic restrictions
9.1 Account Farming, Discount Abuse, and Portfolio Arbitrage
The Services may not be used as a high-volume account farming system, lottery-style payout system, or promotional-pricing arbitrage system. Account farming — opening, resetting, rotating or abandoning an unusually high number of accounts so that one isolated account produces a payout while others absorb losses — is strictly prohibited.
Ordinary use of a reset after a failed account is allowed when used in good faith. What is not allowed is cycling accounts at scale in a manner that defeats the purpose of evaluating one trader’s consistency and risk management.
For evaluation accounts, a trading day counts toward minimum trading-day requirements only when the account’s net realised P&L for that day is at least +$100 or -$100.
We may aggregate all accounts, purchases, resets, payout requests, devices, payment methods, IP addresses and trading behaviour associated with the same or coordinated traders when reviewing account-farming risk.
10. Termination
You may close your account at any time by contacting support. No refunds will be issued for unused evaluation or funded account time.
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, including for violation of these Terms, suspected fraud, failure to verify identity, inactivity for 28 or more consecutive days, or operating from a restricted jurisdiction. Pending payouts are forfeited where termination results from a violation.
11. Intellectual Property
All content on our website is the property of DTR Trading LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any part of our Services without prior written consent.
12. Disclaimers & Regulatory Notices
OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. We are not responsible for any trading losses, whether in simulated or live environments. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
CFTC Rule 4.41 Disclaimer
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING.
13. Zero Refund Policy
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. We enforce a strict no-refund policy on all purchases, fees and program charges. Upon successful payment, digital goods and Services are delivered immediately and considered consumed.
No refunds will be granted for failure to pass an evaluation, account termination or suspension, violation of rules, platform outages or third-party disruptions, or dissatisfaction with outcomes.
Chargebacks initiated contrary to this policy may result in permanent bans, referral to collections and legal action.
14. Payout Revocation and Clawbacks
We reserve the right to deny, withhold, cancel or revoke any payout request or previously approved payout. If violations are discovered after a payout has been issued, we may apply retroactive clawbacks, deduct amounts from future payouts, void funded account status, or pursue other legal remedies.
15. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DTR TRADING LLC AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR REPUTATIONAL HARM.
OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.
16. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless DTR Trading LLC and its affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses arising out of your use of the Services, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party rights, or any tax obligations connected to payouts you receive.
17. Dispute Resolution — Mandatory Arbitration
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The exclusive venue shall be Sheridan County, Wyoming, conducted under the laws of the State of Wyoming.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: all claims must be brought solely in an individual capacity. You waive any right to participate in any class, collective, consolidated or representative action.
18. Modification of Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms, as well as pricing, trading rules, payout structures and program conditions, at any time and without prior notice. Continued use of the Services following changes constitutes acceptance.
19. Data Rights
All trading data, behavioural data, performance metrics and related outputs generated through your use of the Services are the exclusive property of DTR Trading LLC. You irrevocably assign any right, title and interest you may have in such data. We may use, analyse, aggregate, publish and license such data for any lawful business purpose.
20. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any delay or failure in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, civil unrest, government actions, regulatory changes, exchange closures, market halts, data feed interruptions, internet or power outages, or third-party platform failures.
21. Electronic Communications
By creating an account you consent to receive all communications electronically, including via email, website notices and dashboards. You agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing.
22. Survivability
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including Indemnification, Dispute Resolution, Data Rights, Limitation of Liability and payment-related obligations.
23. Miscellaneous
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver. These Terms, together with any rules incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and DTR Trading LLC.
24. Trade Replicability
We reserve the right to deny, reduce or revoke payouts for trades that cannot be replicated in a live market environment, including trades during data feed anomalies, fills unachievable in real conditions, trades exploiting simulated liquidity, and trades during extreme latency. Our determination of trade replicability is final.
25. Account Migration (Sim/Live)
We reserve the right to migrate any user between simulated and live trading environments at any time without prior notice, and to adjust account parameters on transition. The trader has no right to demand live trading or refuse migration. Compensation structures may change upon migration but will never fall below the published minimum for the respective account tier.
26. Permanent Bans & Exclusions
We maintain a permanent exclusion policy for severe violations, applied across all identities, devices, IP addresses and payment methods. Attempting to create a new account after being banned is grounds for legal action. We maintain an internal ban list and may share ban information with other proprietary trading firms and payment processors to prevent fraud. Banned users forfeit all pending and future payouts.
27. Educational Content Disclaimer
All educational content, strategies, analysis, coaching and webinars are provided for informational purposes only, are not investment or financial advice, and are consumed at your own risk. We make no guarantee that following any strategy will result in profits.
28. Platform Integrity
We reserve the right to adjust or reset simulated balances to correct discrepancies, correct or reverse executions resulting from platform errors, void trades executed during known malfunctions, and retroactively apply rule changes to open positions where required for risk management. Our determination of platform integrity issues is final and binding.
29. Communication & Reputation
Users agree to conduct themselves professionally and not to make defamatory, false or misleading public statements about the Company, and not to encourage others to file chargebacks. Violation is grounds for termination, forfeiture and potential legal action. We reserve the right to publicly respond to false claims, including releasing relevant account and trading data.
30. Earnings and Results Disclaimer
There is no guarantee that any user will earn money, pass evaluations, receive payouts or achieve any particular financial outcome. Participation is speculative.
Participation in coaching or educational offerings does not guarantee improved performance or profitability. Results vary materially by individual, and most traders lose money.
Nothing provided constitutes financial, investment, tax or legal advice. You are solely responsible for obtaining independent professional advice.
Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all persons. Any income examples or earnings figures are not typical results and must not be interpreted as a promise or guarantee.
All trading and financial decisions are made solely by the user, who bears full responsibility for all outcomes. Past performance, whether simulated or live, is not indicative of future results.
