Affiliate & Risk Disclaimer

Last Updated: November 27, 2025

At TheTraderStack, we believe in radical transparency. Before you use our platform to compare Prop Trading Firms, there are two critical things you need to understand: how we make money (Affiliate Disclosure) and the risks involved in trading (Risk Disclosure).

1. Affiliate Disclosure (How We Are Funded)

Running a platform like TheTraderStack involves significant costs—server hosting, daily data updates, and development time. To keep this service 100% free for you, we use affiliate links.

Here is the deal:

  • Some of the links on this website are "affiliate links." This means if you click on a link and purchase an evaluation account, we may receive a commission.
  • This comes at NO extra cost to you. In fact, because of our partnerships, clicking our links often applies an automatic discount coupon (e.g., 50% - 90% OFF) that you might not get otherwise.
  • We are not employees of these firms. We are an independent comparison entity.

Editorial Integrity: Our goal is to build the most useful database for traders. We do not accept payment to alter the data (drawdown, rules, profit targets) of a firm. A firm cannot pay us to hide information or to modify our reviews. The data is the data. However, affiliate partnerships may influence the order in which firms appear in "Top Deals" or "Featured" sections.

2. Futures Trading Risk Disclosure

Trading futures and forex involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:

"Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program."

The evaluations and funded accounts discussed on this website often involve simulated trading environments (demo accounts) until a trader reaches a certain level. Understanding the difference between simulated and live trading is your responsibility.

3. No Professional Advice

The information contained on TheTraderStack is for educational and informational purposes only. It should not be considered as:

  • Financial advice
  • Investment recommendations
  • Tax or Legal advice

We strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified financial advisor or tax professional before making any investment decisions.

4. Use of "Coupons" and "Promos"

We track coupon codes and flash sales daily. However, Prop Firms can expire these codes at any second without notifying us. While we strive for 100% accuracy, we cannot guarantee that a specific code listed on our site will work at the moment of your checkout.
