DISCLAIMER
IFT operates a simulated, demo-based trading environment for educational and evaluation purposes only. Participants in our trading challenges and evaluations do not trade with real capital, and no actual monetary gains or losses are incurred during the demo trading process. Any profits, losses, or performance results seen in these demo accounts are hypothetical and do not represent real-world results. Upon successful completion of the challenge and progression to the “funded” stage, participants may earn a percentage of profits based on their performance in the demo accounts. These profits are paid directly by IFT and are not generated from actual market transactions. No real trading occurs at any stage, and the percentage earnings do not come from any real financial markets or investment activities. IFT does not provide live trading accounts, nor does it offer direct financial investments. All funds referenced in the funded stage refer to hypothetical capital used within the demo environment.
