General Risk Warning
Before deciding to trade with Dark Funded, you should be fully informed of the risks involved. The information on this site is provided for educational purposes only and is not financial, investment, or trading advice.
Past Performance Disclaimer
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Testimonials, payout proofs, and trader stories shown on our site reflect individual experiences and do not guarantee that you will achieve similar results.
Trading results vary widely between traders. The vast majority of retail traders lose money over time.
Loss of Funded Account
Funded accounts have strict drawdown limits. Once breached, the account is permanently closed and any unrealized profits are forfeited. Common causes of account loss include:
- Exceeding the daily loss limit (3–4% depending on plan).
- Exceeding the overall drawdown limit (5–8% depending on plan).
- Holding positions through high-impact news (when restricted).
- Excessive leverage or position sizing.
- Trading prohibited strategies (HFT, latency abuse, arbitrage exploitation).
Evaluation fees are not refundable when an account is closed due to a breach.
Leverage Risk
Funded accounts use leverage of up to 1:30. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. A small adverse market move can result in significant losses to your account equity. Use leverage cautiously and always maintain proper risk management.
Market Volatility
Forex, indices, commodities, and crypto markets can be highly volatile. Prices can move rapidly during:
- Major economic news releases (CPI, NFP, central bank decisions).
- Geopolitical events.
- Market open/close periods (gap risk).
- Low-liquidity sessions (Asian session, holidays).
Volatility can lead to slippage — your trade may execute at a price worse than expected, especially during fast-moving markets.
Simulated vs. Live Capital
Funded accounts at Dark Funded operate on real broker infrastructure (Exness MT5) with live market pricing. Profits are paid out from our trading capital based on the agreed split. Drawdown breaches do not result in real-world debt to the trader, but the trading environment, conditions, and risks are equivalent to live trading.
No Investment Advice
Dark Funded does not provide investment, tax, legal, or financial advice. Any communication from our team is for informational purposes only. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and outcomes. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified financial advisor before participating in leveraged trading.
Restricted Jurisdictions
Our services are not available in certain jurisdictions due to local regulations. Restricted countries currently include:
Iran, Syria, Myanmar, North Korea, and any country subject to international sanctions.
You are responsible for ensuring trading with us is legal in your country of residence.
