Technology Access and Trader Evaluation Program Terms and Conditions - Bacryp Funded
WHEN DO THESE TERMS APPLY
These Terms and Conditions (Terms) are agreed between you and Bacryp Funded (SVG)
LLC trading as Bacryp Funded (the Company) and sets out the terms and conditions that
apply to your Account and your use of the Services (including under an Evaluation Outline or as a Funded Trader or ancillary services associated with either or both). These Terms are effective immediately on successful registration of your Account and continue until terminated or you stop using the Services in accordance with clause 18. By registering your Account and using the Services, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms
WHAT YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR
Assessment of Trading skill
- By establishing an account and paying the Access Fee, you agree to have your trading skills assessed by the Company in a proprietary demonstration environment (developed by the Company) and evaluated against the Evaluation Hurdles corresponding to your chosen Evaluation Outline.
- You will receive access to the Trading Platform, which you will use to execute your trades for evaluation by the Company according to the Evaluation Hurdles.
Funded Trader
- If your trading skills are sufficiently proficient and you satisfy the Evaluation Hurdles, the Company may offer you a role as a Funded Trader (which you may accept or decline). There is no guarantee that you will be offered such a role, irrespective of whether you satisfy the relevant Evaluation Hurdles.
- As a Funded Trader, the Company will allocate to you a Bacryp Funded FUM (the amount of which will correspond to your Evaluation Outline) from which you will conduct trades with the aim of making a Notional Net Profit for each Trading Period.
- If you satisfy the Funded Trader Criteria for a given Trading Period, you will receive a Trader Payment for that Trading Period.
- If you do not meet the Funded Trader Criteria for a given Trading Period, you will not receive a Trader Payment for that Trading Period.
- As a Funded Trader, you will not be required to make any payment of money to either fund your allocated Bacryp Funded FUM or cover the negative monetary positions of your trades.
Your Bacryp Funded FUM and the monetary positions of your trades are representative in nature only and are not “live” amounts or positions.
Trades are representative only
All your trades will be placed on the Trading Platform, which is strictly a demonstration-only environment and not a “live” platform. The Trading Platform may use real data taken from a live trading environment, but such data will be representative only, and your trades will not be placed in a “live” trading environment. This applies to the trades you place as part of your chosen Evaluation Outline and as a Funded Trader.

Paying an Access Fee and participating in an Evaluation Outline (successfully or otherwise) does not oblige the Company to offer you a Funded Trader position.
