Responsible trading

Trading should cost you money you decided to risk.

Nothing else. Not money you need, not sleep, not the people around you. This page covers what our rules protect you from, what they do not, and how to stop if you need to.

Before you buy.

If the fee for your next account is money that has a job to do elsewhere, that is the signal to stop reading and close this page.

What our rules protect you from

You cannot lose more than you paid

Every account is simulated. There is no margin call, no negative balance, and no way to owe us money. Your exposure is the fee, and nothing else.

The drawdown ends an account

A breach stops the account instead of letting a bad run continue. It is a hard stop we enforce for you.

One-time fees, never a subscription

We do not bill you monthly, so an account you walk away from stops costing you anything.

What they do not

Nothing limits how many accounts you buy

You can hold up to five at once and buy them as often as you like.

There is no daily loss limit

We removed it deliberately, and it is a genuine trade. Nothing stops a single catastrophic session except your own discipline.

Passing is not a prediction

Passing an evaluation says you did it once. It is not evidence that trading will replace an income, and treating it that way is where people get hurt.

Seven questions worth answering honestly.

If more than one or two are yes, the problem is not your strategy.

  1. 01Have you bought a new account within a day of losing one, more than once?
  2. 02Are you trading money you need for rent, debt, or someone else?
  3. 03Do you size up after a loss instead of after a win?
  4. 04Have you hidden how much you have spent on accounts from someone close to you?
  5. 05Does a losing session change how you speak to people around you?
  6. 06Are you trading longer sessions than you planned, most weeks?
  7. 07Would stopping for two weeks feel like a relief, or like a problem?

If this has stopped being about trading

Chasing losses, hiding spending, and trading to feel something are patterns that show up in gambling as readily as in markets. If any of that is familiar, these people are better placed to help than we are, and they are free and confidential.
