Risk & Affiliate Disclosures
Last updated: September 2026
Important Risk Warning
Futures trading and participation in proprietary trading firm programs involve substantial risk. You may lose evaluation fees, activation fees, subscription fees and access to trading accounts.
Only participate using money you can afford to lose. Past performance and hypothetical or simulated results do not guarantee future results.
Educational and Informational Purposes Only
All information published by ATARI Trading is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.
Nothing on this website constitutes financial, investment, legal or tax advice. The information provided should not be interpreted as a recommendation, solicitation or offer to buy or sell futures, securities or any other financial product.
ATARI Trading is not a broker, futures commission merchant, proprietary trading firm, investment adviser or financial adviser. We do not manage customer funds, open trading accounts or execute trades on behalf of website visitors.
You are solely responsible for evaluating whether trading or participation in a proprietary trading program is appropriate for your financial circumstances, experience, objectives and risk tolerance. Where appropriate, seek advice from an independent qualified professional.
Futures and Leveraged-Trading Risk
Futures and other leveraged products are highly speculative and may not be suitable for everyone. Leverage can magnify both profits and losses, and market conditions can change rapidly.
Trading risks may include, but are not limited to:
- Market risk: Prices can move rapidly and unpredictably because of economic events, news, volatility or changing market conditions.
- Leverage risk: Leverage can significantly increase the effect of even a small adverse price movement.
- Liquidity risk: Certain market conditions may make it difficult to enter or exit a position at the expected price.
- Technology risk: Internet interruptions, platform failures, data-feed errors, delayed orders and other technical problems may cause losses or prevent trades from being executed as intended.
- Operational risk: Errors, outages or failures involving brokers, platforms, exchanges or proprietary trading firms may affect account access and trading activity.
- Regulatory risk: Changes to laws, regulations, exchange requirements or industry practices may affect trading products or proprietary trading programs.
No trading method, strategy, indicator, course or educational resource can guarantee profitable results.
Simulated and Hypothetical Trading
Many proprietary trading evaluations and funded-account programs operate in simulated trading environments. A simulated funded account may not involve the execution of trades in a live financial market, even if a trader may become eligible to receive performance-based payouts under the firm’s rules.
Simulated or hypothetical results have significant limitations. They do not represent actual trading and may not fully reflect factors such as liquidity, slippage, order execution, commissions, market impact or the psychological pressure associated with risking real capital.
Because simulated trades have not been executed under actual market conditions, results may differ substantially from results that could be achieved through live trading. No representation is made that any person or account will achieve profits or losses similar to those shown in hypothetical, simulated or historical examples.
Proprietary Trading Firm Programs
Each proprietary trading firm establishes its own eligibility requirements, evaluation rules, account conditions, drawdown calculations, consistency requirements, prohibited strategies and payout policies.
Purchasing an evaluation or account does not guarantee that you will:
- Pass an evaluation;
- Receive or retain a funded or simulated funded account;
- Qualify for a payout;
- Receive a requested payout;
- Recover evaluation, activation or subscription fees; or
- Earn any profit or other financial benefit.
A proprietary trading firm may change its prices, promotions, account structures, rules or payout requirements at any time. It may also suspend, restrict or terminate an account in accordance with its own terms and conditions.
Before purchasing any program, carefully read the firm’s current official rules, terms and conditions, prohibited-trading policies, refund policy and payout requirements.
Independent Third-Party Companies
The proprietary trading firms, brokers, platforms and service providers mentioned on this website are independent third parties. ATARI Trading does not own, operate or control these companies and is not responsible for their actions, decisions, services, financial condition, platform performance or contractual obligations.
A company’s inclusion on this website does not guarantee its reliability, continued operation or ability to process payouts. Users should conduct their own independent research before purchasing an account or using a third-party service.
Any dispute involving an evaluation, account, rule violation, refund, platform issue or payout must be resolved directly with the relevant company.
Accuracy and Changes to Information
ATARI Trading makes reasonable efforts to provide useful and current information. However, proprietary trading firms frequently change their prices, discounts, rules, account features and payout conditions.
We cannot guarantee that every item of information on this website will always be complete, accurate or current. The information published on the proprietary trading firm’s official website and in its current terms and conditions takes precedence over information presented by ATARI Trading.
Always verify an offer and all applicable account rules directly with the provider before making a purchase.
Performance and Earnings Disclaimer
Examples of trading results, payouts, strategies or market analysis appearing on this website or on ATARI Trading’s social-media channels are provided for educational purposes only.
Individual results vary. No example, testimonial, chart, market analysis or previous result should be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of future performance, account qualification, funding or earnings.
Affiliate Disclosure
ATARI Trading has affiliate relationships with some of the proprietary trading firms and service providers featured on this website.
If you follow one of our affiliate links, purchase an account or use an ATARI promotional code, we may receive a commission or other compensation from the provider. This generally does not increase the price you pay and may provide access to a discount.
Affiliate compensation may influence which companies or offers appear on the website. However, it does not change the fact that users should independently evaluate each provider and determine whether its program is suitable for them.
Offers, rankings and comparisons should not be interpreted as personalized recommendations or guarantees of quality, profitability, funding or payouts.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ATARI Trading and its owners, contributors and affiliates will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss arising from reliance on information published on this website or from participation in any third-party trading program.
This includes, without limitation, loss of fees, trading losses, loss of profits, denial of payouts, account suspension or termination, loss of data, business interruption and losses resulting from platform or technology failures.
Your use of this website and any decision to purchase or participate in a third-party program are made at your own discretion and risk.
