This Breakout Evaluation Agreement (this “Agreement”) between Breakout Trading Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company doing business as “Breakout” (the “Company”), and the undersigned (“Evaluation Trader” or “you”), effective as of the time and date you click the “I Agree” button below.
Recitals
The Company provides trading evaluation and assessment services (“Breakout Evaluations”) to its customers through a proprietary simulated trading environment (the “Evaluation Dashboard”) utilizing proprietary trading data in exchange for a purchase price (an “Evaluation Fee”). The Company offers two types of Breakout Evaluations: (a) a 1-Step Breakout Evaluation and (b) a 2-Step Breakout Evaluation. Each Breakout Evaluation is a test in which Evaluation Trader is given access to a simulated trading account (a “Demo Account”) in a purely notional size (“Demo Account Size”) selected by Evaluation Trader at the time of purchase of the Breakout Evaluation. To successfully pass a Breakout Evaluation of a certain type and Demo Account Size (a “Passing Evaluation”), Evaluation Trader must use the simulated trading tools provided in the Evaluation Dashboard to notionally achieve (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company) the applicable performance targets (“Upgrade Targets”) without breaching the applicable maximum drawdown (“Max Drawdown”), maximum daily loss limits (“Max Daily Loss”) or leverage limits (“Leverage Limits”). Any (i) breach of the Max Drawdown, Max Daily Loss or Leverage Limits before achieving a Passing Evaluation with respect to any Breakout Evaluation or (ii) engaging in any Prohibited Trading (as defined below) or (iii) any breach, violation or failure to meet any other term or condition hereunder is referred to herein as a “Demo Account Breach.” The available Demo Account Sizes and the applicable Upgrade Targets, Max Drawdowns, Max Daily Losses, Leverage Limits, Evaluation Fee and optional Breach Insurance Fee (as defined below) for each type of Breakout Evaluation are set forth in Annex A (as may be updated or amended by the Company from time to time, the “Program Rules”).
Agreement
In consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
- Purchase of Breakout Evaluation.
- Purchase on Website. Evaluation Trader agrees to purchase a Breakout Evaluation selected by Evaluation Trader through the Company’s website for the applicable Evaluation Fee.
- Breach Insurance. At the time Evaluation Trader purchases a Breakout Evaluation, Evaluation Trader will have the opportunity to purchase Breach Insurance for the provided fee (“Breach Insurance Fee” and together with Evaluation Fee, the “Breakout Fees”). “Breach Insurance” means Funded Trader (as defined below) may withdraw any capital appreciation in its Funded Account (as defined in the Funded Trader Agreement (as defined below)) in accordance with Section 4(b) of the Funded Trader Agreement and the “Payments to Funded Traders” section of Annex B to the Funded Trader Agreement.
- Payment. Payment for the Breakout Evaluation shall be made, in the case of United States Dollars (“USD”), through a debit or credit card transaction or, in the case of cryptocurrency, an “Eligible Cryptocurrency” that the Company may designate from time to time on its website, through the Company’s selected payment processor (the “Payment Processor”). By entering your debit or credit card information on the Company’s website, Evaluation Trader agrees to pay the applicable Evaluation Fee for the Breakout Evaluation as described in Section 1(d) below and authorizes the Company to charge the debit or credit card provided by Evaluation Trader, as applicable, for all charges related to the Breakout Evaluation. If payment is made with cryptocurrency, Evaluation Trader agrees to pay the applicable Evaluation Fee for the Breakout Evaluation, as described in Section 1(d) below, in Eligible Cryptocurrency at the exchange rate of such Eligible Cryptocurrency into USD provided by the Payment Processor (the “Exchange Rate”) to the Company’s wallet address, as specified in the Company’s website payment instructions, and acknowledges that payment in Eligible Cryptocurrency will be deemed complete upon confirmation of such payment being reflected on the applicable blockchain. Evaluation Trader agrees to provide accurate, current, and complete information for payment and to promptly update any payment information as necessary. In addition, if you are deemed “high risk” by the Payment Processor, the Company may require you to provide additional documentation or information in order to proceed with the Breakout Evaluation. Failure to provide the requested documentation and information within 24 hours of any such request may result in your use of and access to the Evaluation Dashboard being suspended or terminated in accordance with Section 6 below.
- Pricing and Fees. The Company will charge Evaluation Trader the Breakout Fees listed on the Company’s website at the time Evaluation Trader submits the order to purchase a Breakout Evaluation which fee may be updated by the Company from time to time. Payment will be processed at the time of purchase. All fees are exclusive of taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Evaluation Trader is responsible for paying all applicable taxes, including sales tax, VAT, and other governmental charges, as applicable to the Breakout Evaluation.
- Failed Payments. If the Company is unable to process Evaluation Trader’s payment due to insufficient funds, expired debit or credit card information, or any other reason, the Company may suspend or terminate access to the Evaluation Dashboard until payment is successfully processed. Evaluation Trader agrees to promptly update payment information and resolve any issues related to the failed payment.
- No Refunds. All payments are non-refundable unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement or the Program Rules. The Company in its sole discretion reserves the right to suspend, limit or terminate the use of any product, service, subscription or access.
- Use of Evaluation Dashboard. Upon purchase of a Breakout Evaluation, Evaluation Trader agrees that it will use the Evaluation Dashboard solely in accordance with the Program Rules and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, Evaluation Trader agrees that in utilizing the Evaluation Dashboard, Evaluation Trader will only use a computer system that meets or exceeds the following minimum requirements: (a) at least 8GB of RAM; and (b) a stable and high-speed internet connection suitable for real-time trading activities. Evaluation Trader acknowledges that failure to comply with these requirements may adversely affect the functionality, performance, or reliability of the Evaluation Dashboard and the Company shall not be liable for any issues, delays, or losses arising from Evaluation Trader’s failure to meet these requirements.
- Results of Breakout Evaluation. Evaluation Traders who achieve a Passing Evaluation will be notified of such result by email and will become eligible to enter into a separate agreement (a “Evaluation Trader Agreement”) with NFA Trading Ltd., a British Virgin Islands limited company (“NFA Trading”), pursuant to which you will be engaged by NFA Trading as an Evaluation Trader (a “Evaluation Trader”), subject to the terms and conditions thereof. An Evaluation Trader who experiences a Demo Account Breach with respect to a Breakout Evaluation shall have no further access to such Breakout Evaluation or the Evaluation Dashboard after 7 calendar days following such Demo Account Breach unless and until Evaluation Trader purchases another Breakout Evaluation.
- Prohibited Trading. You agree that you shall not engage in any of the following activities (each, “Prohibited Trading”) in connection with any Breakout Evaluation or when accessing the Evaluation Dashboard:
- exploiting errors or latency in the pricing or platform(s);
- utilizing non-public or insider information;
- front-running of trades placed elsewhere;
- trading in any way that may jeopardize the relationship the Company has with a centralized exchange or market maker;
- trading in any way that may create regulatory issues for the Company, a centralized exchange or market maker;
- utilizing any third-party trading approach, off-the-shelf trading approach or one marketed to pass evaluation requirements;
- utilizing one trading approach to pass an assessment and then utilizing a different trading approach in the Demo Account;
- attempting to arbitrage your Breakout Evaluation with another account with the Company or any third-party;
- using trading approaches that are difficult to replicate in the live market, or come at a heightened risk when attempting to do so, including but not limited to, trades that would risk being auto-deleveraged due to margin requirements or trades resulting in large fluctuations in unrealized gains/losses;
- executing trade ideas belonging to or inspired by any third-party, including but not limited to, copying other traders’ or analysts’ ideas or copying trading signals from any type of trading community, social media, research report or crowdsourced idea;
- trading pursuant to more than one Breakout Evaluation at the same time; or
- account sharing of any nature, including but not limited to, sharing credentials with other users or trading multiple accounts from the same household, devices, or internet protocol address (“IP Address”).

The Company is not registered with nor regulated by the Securities & Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended. However, the investment advisory industry, which the Company is not admitting it is a part of, is subject to an extensive and highly-evolving regulatory landscape, and any changes to any laws and regulations could adversely impact the Company’s ability to offer, and your use of and access to the Evaluation Dashboard. Further, such regulatory changes could also impact your legal obligations with respect to your use of the Evaluation Dashboard. In addition to existing laws and regulations, including but not limited to the laws and regulations mentioned in the last sentence, various governmental and regulatory bodies in the United States and in other countries that, may now or at some point in the future, have the right to regulate you, the Company or the Breakout Evaluation and any transactions contemplated thereby or thereto, may adopt new laws and regulations. The Company is not responsible for any adverse impact of such existing or new laws or regulations on your use of and access to the Evaluation Dashboard suffered by you as a result of such existing or new laws and regulations. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible to determine and satisfy any of your regulatory obligations including, without limitation, the obligation to obtain all necessary licenses and permits required by applicable laws, regulators and other government authorities to participate in the Breakout Evaluation, and the Company is not obligated to advise or assist you with satisfying such obligations or any conflicts resulting with compliance thereto that, in each case, may exist as of the date hereof or arise hereafter.
- In connection with the Breakout Evaluation, the Company may provide data, information, and content relevant to trading approaches and opportunities to enter simulated trades. Any such data, information and content is for informational purposes only and the Company makes no representations or warranties to its accuracy. The Company does not encourage Evaluation Trader to take any action based upon any data, information or content provided by the Company, and you should not construe any such data, information or content as investment, financial, tax, legal, or any other kind of advice whatsoever.
- No Representations by Company. The Company does not make any representation, warranty or covenant that any data, information, or content appearing on the Company website or in Company materials, including information such as market data and news information provided by third parties, is accurate or complete. The Company has not been involved in the preparation or editing of third-party information and does not explicitly endorse or approve such information including, without limitation, invitations to engage in a trading evaluation similar to the Breakout Evaluation, trade as a Funded Trader, or trade or invest your personal capital on a brokerage, exchange or other trading platform or invest your personal capital with any person or entity for the purposes of such person or entity investing and/or trading such personal capital. You alone bear the sole responsibility of evaluating the merits and risks associated with using any such data, information, or content for any purposes whatsoever. As such, you agree not to hold the Company, its owners, members, managers, executives, employees or affiliates, liable for or assert any claim for damages that may arise from any decision that you make based upon the use of any such data, information, or content appearing on the Company website or in Company materials. Hyperlinks to third-party data, information, content, materials or services purported to be provided by such third party may be provided by the Company as a convenience to you but such data, information, content, materials or indicated services are not controlled by us. You acknowledge and agree that the Company is not responsible for any aspect of the data, information, content, materials or services provided by such third parties that you access (i) directly by clicking through the related hyperlink or (ii) indirectly by referring to such hyperlink to access the website therein by any other manner except clicking through such hyperlink, or further data, information, content, materials or services purported to be provided by some other third party, contained in any third-party data, information, content or materials or on any third-party websites accessible or linked on the Company’s website or in the Company’s materials.
- Simulated Trading Environment. The Company, through the Evaluation Dashboard, provides Evaluation Trader with the opportunity to simulate investing and trading financial instruments, with the sole potential benefit of engaging in the Breakout Evaluation being the opportunity to be eligible to enter into a Evaluation Trader Agreement with NFA Trading as a “Funded Trader” (as defined therein) by achieving a Passing Evaluation in accordance with Section 3 above. Latency and slippage arising as a result of any additional amount of time it takes for orders to be routed to and executed on the live market including but not limited to the speed of internet connectivity and order routing, may adversely materially impact execution prices.
- Achieving a Passing Evaluation is Difficult and Risky. You acknowledge that achieving a Passing Evaluation is difficult and that the results that you may achieve are subject to significant risks, some of such risks may depend on your skill in trading and others may be out of your control. Examples of the risks that may be out of your control are the price and liquidity (which includes the trading volume and other trading-related activities) of cryptographic tokens, digital currencies, cryptocurrencies or virtual currencies, or other digital assets that (A) digitally represent value based on (or built on top of) a cryptographic protocol or network of a computer system and (B) is available to trade on the Evaluation Dashboard (“Digital Assets”), for which you will be able to trade on the Evaluation Dashboard, have historically been subject to significant volatility and uncertainty that depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to market conditions, sentiment, changes in liquidity, Forks (as defined below), the activities of other market participants, general economic environment, public perception, technical and technological constraints, regulation, and government activities. Therefore, there is no assurance that any Digital Asset that is available to trade on the Evaluation Dashboard will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of liquidity: the price of Digital Assets can change rapidly, decrease substantially and potentially even fall to zero, and the lack of liquidity associated with a Digital Asset could lead to slippage, wider spreads or difficulty executing trades at desired levels which will in turn impact your ability to achieve a Passing Evaluation and could otherwise cause a Demo Account Breach. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and there can be no assurance that any prediction of market prices or trends will be correct. In addition, leverage can work for you as well as against you and may magnify the impact of adverse market conditions, which potentially may lead to significant losses that could, together with other factors, result in a Demo Account Breach.
- Operational and Technological Risks. Your ability to achieve a Passing Evaluation is also subject to operating and technological risks including, the potential failure of the hardware, software or internet connectivity on or through which the Evaluation Dashboard operates. You acknowledge and agree that the Company is not responsible for any such failure or any communication delays or disruptions that may occur when you engage in simulated trading on the Evaluation Dashboard. Although the Company’s third-party service and systems providers employ backup systems and contingency plans to minimize the possibility and impact of such failures, delays or disruptions, there can be no assurance that such failures, delays or disruptions will not occur or, if they do occur, will not result in a Demo Account Breach. You agree to bear the full risk of any such failure, delay or disruption including any that occurs as a result of any software or hardware update of the Evaluation Dashboard or any third-party platform used to deliver the Breakout Evaluation – whether made on schedule or delayed.
- Changes to Digital Asset Protocols. You acknowledge changes to Digital Asset protocols and agree that the Company is not responsible for such changes nor liable for any loss of value in the Digital Assets you hold at the point in time in which such change occurs or is occurring, that you may experience as a result of such changes. You acknowledge and agree that the Company has sole discretion to determine its response to any such change and that the Company has no responsibility to assist you with Digital Assets that become unavailable to trade in the Breakout Evaluation as a result of the Company’s response to such changes and that the Company is not required to support new Digital Assets (as described in the next sentence) that result from such changes including but not limited to Forks. “Forks” means changes in the operating rules of the underlying protocol or network of a Digital Asset that result in (i) more than one version of that Digital Asset or (ii) material changes in the value, function or name of that Digital Asset. The Company has the sole discretion to, first, temporarily suspend trading of existing and new Digital Assets associated with a Fork, and, then, not support the existing and new Digital Asset for trading in the Breakout Evaluation.
- No Assurance of Results. All of the foregoing factors as well as others may adversely impact your ability to perform well in the simulated trading environment provided by the Evaluation Dashboard. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that you will successfully achieve a Passing Evaluation regardless of the number of Breakout Evaluations you purchase. As such, you acknowledge and agree that (i) you should carefully consider whether purchasing a Breakout Evaluation is appropriate for your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk tolerance and (ii) any such purchase is your sole responsibility.
- No Payout, Compensation or Consideration Except Certain Eligibility. Even if you achieve a Passing Evaluation, you will not receive any payout, compensation or other form of consideration from the Company for achieving such Passing Evaluation except that you will become eligible to become a Funded Trader subject to a Funded Trader Agreement with NFA Trading (the “Funded Trader Agreement”). The Company will not be a party to, or responsible for any payment, compensation or other form of consideration under, any Funded Trader Agreement you may enter into with NFA Trading.
- Evaluation Trader-Generated Content. By submitting, uploading, publishing, transmitting or otherwise making available any content, data, information, communication or material (collectively, “Evaluation Trader Content”) through, on or in connection with the Evaluation Dashboard, you acknowledge, represent, warrant and covenant that (i) you are solely responsible for all such Evaluation Trader Content that you create, generate, submit or share, (ii) any Evaluation Trader Content is truthful, accurate and complete and created, generated, submitted or shared, as applicable, in good faith, and (iii) the Company disclaims and makes no warranties or representations as to the accuracy, quality, reliability, suitability, completeness, truthfulness, usefulness, or effectiveness of the Evaluation Trader Content, or any other information created, generated, submitted or shared in connection therewith by you on the Evaluation Dashboard.
- Termination. Pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 above, you agree (i) not to engage in any Prohibited Trading in connection with any Breakout Evaluation or when accessing the Evaluation Dashboard, and (ii) to use the Evaluation Dashboard solely in accordance with the Program Rules and the other terms and conditions hereof. You acknowledge and further agree that the Company has the sole discretion to determine what activities constitute Prohibited Trading. You further acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the circumstances contemplated under sub-Sections 6(b) and (c) below, the Company has the sole and absolute discretion to immediately terminate your Breakout Evaluation and your access thereto; provided, that you shall have access to your Breakout Evaluation for no more than 7 calendar days following such termination, and your access to the Evaluation Dashboard, respectively, and that you will not be entitled to any refund of the Evaluation Fee paid in respect of such Breakout Evaluation, for any activities that the Company determines to be Prohibited Trading whether you agree with this determination or not. Such disagreement will not constitute a controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement under Section 12 below and will, therefore, not be subject to the arbitral processes nor will any of the arbitral rights that would otherwise be provided to you in relation to the resolution of a controversy or claim within the meaning of and in accordance with Section 12 below, be provided to you, as such processes and rights are described thereunder.

General Rules re Passing Evaluation:
The Evaluation Trader will use the same Demo Account for 1-Step and 2-Step of the Breakout Evaluation, and the Evaluation Trader’s login credentials for 1-Step and 2-Step are the same. However, the Evaluation Trader’s trades, open position and balance from 1-Step will be revised to begin 2-Step.
There is no maximum number of attempts to obtain a Passing Evaluation.
Upon a Demo Account Breach, the Evaluation Trader must purchase another Breakout Evaluation to have the opportunity to receive a Passing Evaluation and derive the associated benefits thereunder, as described in the Agreement.
Drawdown Limits:
If the value of the Demo Account Balance reaches or exceeds either the applicable Maximum Daily Loss Limit (as defined below) or the applicable Maximum Drawdown Limit (as defined below) on any given day in which the Evaluation Trader may trade through the Evaluation Dashboard pursuant to the Agreement, the Evaluation Trader will be in Demo Account Breach.
“Maximum Daily Loss Limit” is equal to the percentage difference between the Demo Account Balance and the Demo Account Equity (as each term is described below). “Demo Account Balance” means the balance of the Demo Account, not including any open positions at 00:30 UTC on any given day that the Evaluation Trader may trade through the Evaluation Dashboard pursuant to the Agreement (and this balance and any balance hereinafter referred to as being calculated at 00:30 UTC, updates as of this time on any given day that the Evaluation Trader may trade through the Evaluation Dashboard). “Demo Account Equity” means the balance of the Demo Account including any open positions at any point within 24 hours of calculating the Demo Account Balance as of 00:30 UTC on any given day that the Evaluation Trader may trade through the Evaluation Dashboard pursuant to the Agreement. Both the Demo Account Balance and the Demo Account Equity are available to the Evaluation Trader at such Evaluation Trader’s Evaluation Dashboard. The Maximum Daily Loss Limit for 1-Step Trading and 2-Step Trading is (4)% and (5)%, respectively.
“Maximum Drawdown Limit” means, for 2-Step Trading, a decrease of the applicable Drawdown (as defined below) from the Highest Demo Account Balance (as defined below) and, for 1-Step Trading, a decrease of the applicable Drawdown from Initial Demo Account Balance (as defined below). “Highest Demo Account Balance” means the highest balance that your Demo Account has reached on any given day that the Evaluation Trader may trade through the Evaluation Dashboard pursuant to the Agreement. “Drawdown” means the balance representing at least an 8% or a 6% decrease from the Initial Demo Account Balance for 2-Step Trading and 1-Step Trading, respectively. “Initial Demo Account Balance” means the provided balance of the Demo Account immediately upon the Demo Account being opened by the Company.
Trading and Swap Fees:
The Company’s trading fee to place a buy or sell order is 0.035%.
If the Evaluation Trader has an open swap position at 00:00 UTC on any given day that the Evaluation Trader may trade through the Evaluation Dashboard pursuant to the Agreement, a daily swap fee of 0.09% per open swap position will be deducted from the balance of the Demo Account at this time.
Leverage Limits: Maximum leverage for BTC and ETH is 5x. Maximum leverage for all other Digital Assets is 2x. Available leverage is auto-applied and not subject to change.
Open Position Size Limits: The maximum open position size for any Digital Asset is available in the Evaluation Dashboard. Simply right-click on a Digital Asset and select ‘Instrument info’, or click the “i” button at the top of the Digital Asset’s chart tab. Alternatively, a list of each Digital Asset that can be traded by the Evaluation Trader through the Demo Account and its corresponding maximum open position size, can be viewed on the Company’s Symbols website at https://www.breakoutprop.com/symbols/.
Limit Orders: Unfilled limit orders may occur as a result of the spread (difference between the bid and the ask prices) and/or insufficient liquidity at the limit order purchase or sale price for a particular Digital Asset. The Evaluation Dashboard does not support partial fills, meaning that if a limit order cannot be filled for the full amount, it will not be filled at all. The Company recommends reviewing the “depth of market” tool in the Evaluation Dashboard to determine whether there is sufficient liquidity to get a full fill of an order at a proposed limit price.
Hedging: The Evaluation Trader may hedge open positions in its Demo Account. “Hedge Mode” whereby the Evaluation Trader may simultaneously enter into both a long- and short-position on the same financial instrument. Hedge Mode is enabled by default in all Demo Accounts.
Partial Take Profit Orders: As of the date hereof, sell orders for part of an open position are not permitted.
Simulated Capital and Trades: The Evaluation Dashboard is a simulated trading environment that seeks to replicate a live trading environment with a high degree of accuracy but the capital that appears in the Demo Account has no economic value whatsoever and filled orders do not have a counterparty that exists.
VPN Usage: The Company permits Evaluation Traders to use virtual private networks (“VPNs”); provided, that the Evaluation Trader does not use such VPN to attempt to conceal or misrepresent the jurisdiction in which the Evaluation Trader is operating from, or evade the applicable laws and regulations provided for in the Agreement or the other terms and conditions of the Agreement.
Resolving Account Trading Restrictions:
If the Evaluation Trader receives the “Trading is disabled, please contact your account manager” error message when trying to execute a trade on the Evaluation Dashboard, it means the Demo Account is under review by the Company. This review process can take up to 24 hours. No action is required by the Evaluation Trader during this time.
However, if the Evaluation Trader continues to receive the above message after 24 hours of first receiving such message, the Evaluation Trader can contact the Company via email at Support@breakoutprop.com or use the live chat function on the Company website to work towards resolving this issue.
