This page is intentionally written in plain language so the limits of our content are unmistakable. Read it carefully before relying on anything published on damnpropfirms.com or in any DamnPropFirms communication channel.

DamnPropFirms is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor (CTA), commodity pool operator (CPO), futures commission merchant (FCM), introducing broker (IB), financial planner, tax advisor, attorney, or accountant in the United States or any other jurisdiction. The founders, contributors, and authors of DamnPropFirms hold no professional licenses in financial advisory, tax advisory, or legal services in any jurisdiction.
The information published on the Site is general in nature and does not address any individual’s specific financial circumstances, risk tolerance, investment objectives, tax situation, or legal status. Any decision you make based on content found on DamnPropFirms is made entirely at your own discretion and risk.
2. No Professional Relationship Created
Your use of DamnPropFirms — including reading articles, watching videos, joining the Discord community, subscribing to newsletters, using calculators, or downloading the Chrome extension — does not create any of the following professional relationships between you and DamnPropFirms or its founders:
- Adviser-client relationship
- Broker-customer relationship
- Attorney-client relationship
- Accountant-client relationship
- Fiduciary relationship of any kind
You should not treat any DamnPropFirms communication as personalized advice tailored to your specific situation, regardless of how relevant it may seem to your circumstances. Before making any financial, tax, regulatory, structural, or legal decision, you must consult a qualified, licensed professional in your jurisdiction who has reviewed your specific facts.
3. Trading Risk Disclosure
Trading futures, options, forex, equities, cryptocurrency, and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The risks include but are not limited to:
- Loss of all funds deposited or committed
- Loss of more than your initial deposit (in margin-based products)
- Inability to liquidate a position due to market conditions, including “limit moves” where contingent orders such as stop-loss or stop-limit orders may not execute at intended prices
- Margin calls requiring additional capital on short notice
- Liquidation of positions at unfavorable prices, leaving you liable for any resulting deficit
- Counterparty risk, including the risk that a prop firm, broker, or exchange becomes insolvent or fails to honor obligations
- Operational risk from technology failures, internet outages, or platform downtime
- Regulatory risk from changes in trading rules, tax law, or jurisdictional restrictions
You should only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely. Risk capital is money that, if lost, would not jeopardize your financial security, lifestyle, retirement, family obligations, or essential expenses. Before engaging in any trading activity, take an honest assessment of your financial situation, experience level, risk tolerance, and personal circumstances.
Prop firm trading carries additional risk factors specific to the prop firm model, including but not limited to:
- Loss of evaluation fees, reset fees, and activation fees if you fail to meet a firm’s rules
- Loss of accumulated profit if you violate consistency rules, daily loss limits, or trailing drawdown thresholds
- Termination of funded accounts due to rule violations, with no recourse for accumulated unpaid profits
- Changes to firm rules, payout structures, or account terms made by the prop firm at their sole discretion
- Restriction or termination of accounts based on country of residence, payment processor, or other firm-specific criteria
Most prop firm traders do not become consistently profitable. Industry data and our own observations indicate that the majority of traders who attempt prop firm evaluations either fail to pass, fail to receive any payout, or fail to sustain profitability over multi-month periods. Personal trading results discussed by DamnPropFirms founders or community members reflect specific individual experiences and are not representative of typical outcomes.
4. CFTC Rule 4.41 — Hypothetical Performance Disclosure
HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
This disclosure is required under 17 CFR § 4.41 and applies to all references to hypothetical, simulated, or backtested trading results that may appear on the Site or in any DamnPropFirms communication. Many prop firm evaluation environments operate as simulated trading platforms, and account results during the evaluation phase may constitute hypothetical performance for purposes of this disclosure.
5. U.S. Government Required Disclaimer
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Futures and options trading have large potential rewards, but also large potential risks. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in futures, options, and other markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to buy or sell futures, options, or other financial instruments.
No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this Site, in our Discord server, on our YouTube channel, on our social media accounts, or in any other DamnPropFirms communication. The past performance of any trading system, methodology, or trader is not necessarily indicative of future results.
The information provided is of the nature of general comment only and neither purports nor intends to be specific trading advice. It has been prepared without regard to any particular person’s investment objectives, financial situation, or particular needs. Information should not be considered as an offer or enticement to buy, sell, or trade. You should seek appropriate advice from a licensed broker, financial advisor, or other qualified professional before taking any action.
Simulated performance results contain inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, simulated results may under- or over-compensate for factors such as lack of liquidity. The risk of loss in trading can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.
6. Margin and Leverage Risk
If you purchase or sell equities, futures, currencies, or options, you may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and any additional funds that you deposit with your broker to establish or maintain your position. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your broker to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order to maintain your position. If you do not provide the required funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you may be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market makes a “limit move.” The placement of contingent orders by you, such as a “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
7. Personal Performance Claims and Testimonials
Results discussed by DamnPropFirms founders, contributors, or community members — including but not limited to payout screenshots, account screenshots, profit-and-loss reports, livestream trading sessions, video commentary, podcast remarks, social media posts, and Discord conversations — reflect specific individual experiences and are not representative of typical outcomes.
Any specific dollar amount, percentage return, payout cycle, or trading milestone discussed by individuals associated with DamnPropFirms reflects that individual’s personal experience at a specific point in time and should not be interpreted as a guarantee, projection, promise, or representation that you or any other person will achieve similar results.
Trading outcomes depend on numerous factors that vary across individuals and time periods, including but not limited to: trading experience, capital available, risk management discipline, market conditions, prop firm rule changes, individual psychology and consistency, time committed to trading, and many other variables that DamnPropFirms cannot assess for you.
Testimonials, reviews, or community feedback shared on the Site or through DamnPropFirms communication channels reflect the experiences of specific individuals and are not indicative of future results for you or any other person. Where any testimonial constitutes a paid endorsement or compensated arrangement, that fact will be disclosed.
8. Affiliate Disclosure
DamnPropFirms participates in affiliate programs with prop firms and trading platforms. When you sign up for a prop firm or trading product through links on this Site, we may earn a commission from that firm. This commission is paid by the firm — not by you. Your price, discount code, and account terms remain identical whether you use our affiliate link or sign up directly through the firm’s website.
Specifically:
- We have direct affiliate relationships with multiple prop firms covered on the Site, including but not limited to Apex Trader Funding, Take Profit Trader, Tradeify, Lucid Trading, FundedNext, Topstep, and others. The complete list is available on request.
- Different prop firms pay different commission rates. This means we may earn more from some firms than others when a reader signs up through our links.
- We have affiliate relationships with non-prop-firm trading tools and services, including platforms like Tradesyncer (cloud trade copier) and similar tools.
- The discount code “DGT” used across the Site reflects negotiated direct affiliate partnerships designed to offer readers the largest discounts available — these partnerships also generate affiliate commissions for DamnPropFirms when redeemed.
We disclose this clearly because you deserve to know. Our editorial commitment is to evaluate firms based on payout reliability, rule fairness, customer service, and trader-friendliness — not commission rates. However, you should be aware that this financial relationship exists when reading our reviews, comparisons, and recommendations, and you should apply your own judgment accordingly. We encourage every reader to do their own research and consult a licensed professional before making any financial decision, regardless of any recommendation found on this Site.
9. Jurisdiction Notice
DamnPropFirms publishes content accessible globally, including educational information about how prop firm income may be classified under different countries’ tax and regulatory frameworks. This content is general in nature and is not directed at residents of any specific country.
Tax law, financial regulation, banking practices, and capital control regulations vary significantly across jurisdictions and change frequently. Country-specific information published on DamnPropFirms is researched in good faith using publicly available regulatory sources, but should never substitute for advice from a licensed tax advisor, accountant, or attorney in your specific country. Information that is accurate at the time of publication may become inaccurate due to subsequent regulatory changes, court rulings, or administrative interpretations.
Before making any tax, regulatory, or structural decisions related to prop firm income, foreign-source service income, or trading activity, you must consult a licensed professional in your jurisdiction. The cost of professional advice is trivial compared to the cost of getting structure wrong. DamnPropFirms is not a licensed financial advisor, tax advisor, or attorney in any country and provides educational content only.
Some jurisdictions restrict or regulate the marketing of trading-related content. If your jurisdiction prohibits or restricts access to content such as that published on DamnPropFirms, do not use the Site.
10. No Warranties
All information on DamnPropFirms is provided “as is” and “as available” without any warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, DamnPropFirms disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to warranties of:
- Accuracy or completeness
- Merchantability
- Fitness for a particular purpose
- Non-infringement
- Continuous availability or uninterrupted access
- Freedom from errors, viruses, or harmful components
Prop firm terms, pricing, rules, payout schedules, country acceptance, payment processor support, and discount codes change frequently and sometimes without notice. While we make reasonable efforts to keep the Site current and accurate, we cannot guarantee that any specific information is correct at the moment you read it. Always verify firm terms, pricing, and rules directly with the prop firm before purchasing an evaluation, paying any fee, or making any account-related decision.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, DamnPropFirms, its founders, owners, directors, employees, contractors, contributors, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Site or your reliance on any content published thereon, including but not limited to:
- Trading losses or missed profits
- Failed prop firm evaluations or lost evaluation fees
- Account terminations or suspended payouts
- Tax penalties, interest, or audit costs
- Regulatory penalties or enforcement actions
- Loss of data, business interruption, or any other commercial damage
This limitation applies regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable, whether DamnPropFirms was advised of the possibility of such damages, and regardless of the legal theory under which damages are claimed (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, the above limitation applies only to the extent permitted by law.
12. Notice to California Residents

Market Blvd., Suite S-202, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210, in order to resolve a complaint regarding the service or to receive further information regarding use of the service.
