These are TRADERSYARD's Terms and Conditions ("Terms", "Terms and Conditions") which define your rights and obligations in relation to the use of the trading games and services ("Virtual Trading", "Challenges", "Services", "Services") offered by TRADERSYARD, mainly via the website www.tradersyard.com, which are offered by TRADERSYARD.
We ask you to read and understand these Terms carefully. If you disagree with or do not understand any part of these Terms, you are under no obligation to use the Services or participate in virtual trading or trading games.
Please note that we reserve the right to change our Terms and Conditions at any time at our sole discretion. We will inform you of any changes in writing, preferably by e-mail or directly via the information services on the TradersYard network. If you do not agree with the changes, you have the right to declare your objection. If we do not receive your objection within 1 week of sending the notification, we will assume that you accept the changes.
Only use the TRADERSYARD Services if you understand and agree to these Terms. By using our services or participating in our trading games, you confirm that you accept these terms and agree to abide by them.
By registering on our website www.tradersyard.com or by booking and using our services for the first time, you enter into a contract with TRADERSYARD for the provision of the services you have selected. These Terms form an integral part of any such contract and by entering into a contract with TRADERSYARD you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Our services include the provision of tools for simulated stock exchange trading (trading games) on various financial markets, the provision of analysis tools, a trading platform, a real-time data feed, a social network with group communication options, educational and teaching material and other supplementary services, in particular via the user dashboard or by facilitating access to applications provided by us or third parties.
The services offered by third parties include, in particular, various webinars. Please note that financial market information is used for simulated trading as part of the trading games offered. You acknowledge that the trades you make via the services provided as part of the trading games offered are not real. You further acknowledge that the funds made available to you for demo trading are virtual and that you cannot dispose of these virtual funds beyond their use in the context of our services. You are not entitled to withdraw these virtual funds from the demo accounts of the Challenges. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, you will not receive any compensation or profits based on the results of your simulated trading, nor will you have to bear any losses.
The TradersYard Challenges do not constitute financial services but serve purely educational purposes to familiarize users with financial markets without significant risk and to educate them accordingly.
TradersYard Competitions and Tournaments do not constitute gambling, because winning such events is 100% based on the participants’ skill regarding financial market knowledge and its application, rather than on uncontrollable chance conditions.
None of the services that TRADERSYARD provides to you can be considered an investment service within the meaning of applicable law. The Company does not provide any guidance, instructions or information on how or in what manner you should conduct transactions when using the Services or in the context of trading games. None of the TRADERSYARD Services constitute investment advice or recommendations. TRADERSYARD employees or representatives are not authorized to provide investment advice or recommendations. This also applies to any third party providers unless they are authorized to do so.
No liability is assumed for actions of the user or third parties to whom the user has granted unauthorized access.
Any information provided via the TRADERSYARD website, media or other information sources is for educational purposes only.
If you receive trading recommendations from another user in the TRADERSYARD social network, please make sure that this user is also authorized to pass on this information. Due to the diversity of users, TRADERSYARD cannot guarantee their authorizations, statements and information quality, and therefore cannot be held liable for this.
Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to create a fiduciary relationship, joint venture, partnership, agency, or employment relationship between you and TRADERSYARD. You acknowledge and agree that you act solely on your own behalf and are not authorized to act on behalf of, or bind, TRADERSYARD in any capacity.
You are solely responsible for determining whether accessing or using the Services is legal in your jurisdiction and for complying with all applicable laws. TRADERSYARD is not responsible for your compliance with such laws and may refuse or terminate your access if it becomes aware of any violation.
TRADERSYARD only offers its services to persons who are of legal age. Therefore, TRADERSYARD Services are intended only for persons over the age of 18 who reside in a country where TRADERSYARD is available. By registering on our website, you confirm that you are over 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age, you are not permitted to use the Services. You acknowledge that your access to and use of the Services may be restricted or prohibited by law in some countries, and you agree to use the Services only in accordance with applicable laws.
It is possible to use TRADERSYARD's services by visiting our website and completing the relevant registration or order form or via the payment processing of a challenge through our chosen payment provider.
The presentation of our services on our website or registration on TRADERSYARD does not constitute a binding offer on our part. You only submit a binding offer when you order a service. If we accept this offer, we will send you an order confirmation by e-mail and thus grant you immediate access to the selected TRADERSYARD challenge.
The corresponding contract is only concluded upon our acceptance and confirmation.
The trading challenges are offered with the different minimum/maximum account sizes based on the different purchase prices. You will find the Prices and Account sizes in our price tables of the TradersYard.com landing page.
The Challenge Services offered include the following TRADERSYARD Challenge Levels:
-
Evaluation and verification levels without payout option (Level 1, Level 2)
-
PayOut Levels Level 3 to Level 10
It is important to note that the scope of these offers may vary depending on the specific challenges (level, asset class, account size) made available to our clients.
Please ensure that all data you provide to us via the registration or order forms, the user dashboard or by other means is complete, truthful and up-to-date. It is your responsibility to notify us immediately of any changes to your details by emailing
[email protected]. You are solely responsible for ensuring that all information you provide is accurate and up to date, as we are not obliged to constantly check the data provided.
It is acknowledged that if you provide a business number, tax identification number or similar information in the registration or order form or user dashboard, you are considered a business for the purposes of these Terms and use of the Services. It is understood that the provisions of these Terms or applicable laws granting consumer rights do not apply to you.
The fees for the TRADERSYARD Challenge vary depending on the Challenge selected. Detailed information on the individual options and their fees can be found on our website under the respective Challenge or in the description of the Challenge groups in the TRADERSYARD Social Network. TRADERSYARD reserves the right to offer the Services on individually agreed terms and conditions to be determined solely at TRADERSYARD's discretion. If discounts, vouchers and other benefits are offered and no other individual agreement has been made with TRADERSYARD, these benefits are not cumulative.
The client must pay a one-time fee for access to TRADERSYARD Challenges, as well as for the services offered in connection with these levels. The challenge starts at level 1 and ends when the payout at the highest level is reached, or when a daily loss or level loss limit is breached.
It should be noted that no refunds will be granted for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to termination of the customer or early termination of the service.
TRADERSYARD reserves the right to unilaterally change the fees and content of its Services and Challenges, to terminate them or to change the conditions necessary for their successful completion. However, such changes will not affect Services and Challenges that have already been ordered or booked prior to notification of the change.
It is possible to check, correct and change the data entered in the registration form until the registration or order has been completed. In order to book the desired services, the registration form must be submitted and the order process completed. TRADERSYARD will confirm the booking by e-mail immediately after successful payment. The contract for the TRADERSYARD Challenge Level 1 is concluded upon payment of the fee for the selected Challenge version, which enables access to the TRADERSYARD Challenge. We keep an electronic archive of the contract and provide information in accordance with the GDPR/DSGVO.

It is at the discretion of TRADERSYARD to allow other trading platforms to trade in the TRADERSYARD Challenges in the future.
In the event that a customer places an unusually high number of orders for our services within a short period of time, we may need to take protective measures to prevent potentially harmful or irresponsible behavior by the customer or a third party. These measures may include notifying the customer via our user dashboard, email or telephone. If this inappropriate behavior persists despite our notification, we reserve the right to suspend all future service requests from the customer. If we determine that the unusual behavior in question is related to the customer's involvement in prohibited trade practices under the
"Prohibited Gambling Activities" section of our Terms and Conditions, we may be required to take the action specified therein.
TRADERSYARD reserves the right to suspend the provision of any Services to a Customer, both currently and in the future, if the Customer raises an unfounded objection to the fees paid or seeks a chargeback or dispute resolution procedure with its bank or payment service provider to request the reversal or refund of all or part of the fee.
It is assumed that you are responsible for obtaining the necessary technical equipment and software, including third-party software (e.g. software for using the trading platform), at your own risk and expense in order to use our services. The TRADERSYARD Services are accessed via standard web browsers. You assume all risks and costs associated with Internet access, equipment purchases, and browser purchases and updates. TRADERSYARD does not guarantee the compatibility of the Services with any particular device or software program.
TRADERSYARD may, at its discretion or to comply with applicable laws (including anti-money laundering regulations), require you to provide identification documents or other evidence of your identity or the source of any funds. You agree to cooperate fully with such requests, and failure to do so may result in suspension or termination of the Services.
The use of a single user dashboard is permitted per individual user. The protection of the user dashboard and the trading platform is ensured by personalized login data that is only accessible to authorized users. It is the user's responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of login and password and to prevent unauthorized access by third parties. The User must inform TRADERSYARD immediately of any suspicion of unauthorized access by third parties. TRADERSYARD reserves the right to change a user's login and password and will notify the client immediately in such a case.
If the Customer has registered as a legal entity, it is permitted to grant authorized employees or other representatives of the Customer access to the Services via its user dashboard.
The Client is solely responsible for all activities conducted through its User Dashboard or Trading Platform. TRADERSYARD shall have no liability and the Client shall not be entitled to any compensation for any misuse of the User Dashboard, the Trading Platform or any other aspect of the Services. Furthermore, TRADERSYARD shall not be responsible for any adverse effects resulting from such misuse if these are due to acts or omissions of the Client.
The processing of users' personal data is carried out in accordance with the separate data protection provisions of the operators of the website: TRADERSYARD and possible subsidiaries or affiliates.
The definitions, terms and abbreviations used in these terms and conditions can be found under "1.Explanation of terms".
The customer agrees that all trading activities carried out during the challenges will be recorded and analyzed in the user-specific trade analysis environment.
The customer has the option of releasing his analysis environment to the public.
TRADERSYARD reserves the right to publish the analysis data - anonymized if necessary - in a ranking portal.
The Client acknowledges that the availability of the Services may occasionally be interrupted, e.g. due to maintenance work, upgrades or similar reasons. It is noted that TRADERSYARD cannot be held liable for any resulting unavailability of the User Dashboard or the Trading Platform and the Client shall not be entitled to any compensation in such a case. Furthermore, the loss or corruption of data or other content uploaded, transmitted or stored via the User Dashboard or the Trading Platform is the sole responsibility of the Client and TRADERSYARD cannot be held liable for such incidents.
The AgenaTrader trading platforms are used to obtain financial data provided by a third-party provider with whom a service level agreement has been concluded. Please refer to the terms and conditions of the AgenaTrader platforms (https://agenatrader.com/terms-and-conditions/), but also note that TRADERSYARD cannot guarantee or be held liable for the reliability of this data provider.
The customer may request the deletion of their User Dashboard at any time by sending an email to
[email protected]. Such a request shall be deemed to be a request for termination of the Agreement by the Client, who shall then no longer be authorized to use any Services, including the User Dashboard and the Trading Platform. Upon receipt of the request, TRADERSYARD will promptly acknowledge the Client by e-mail, thereby terminating the contractual agreement between the Client and TRADERSYARD. Please note that the Client is not entitled to a refund of any fees already paid or costs already incurred.
"Virtual trading" refers to trading with virtual money in a simulated trading environment. It is a way for traders and investors to practice and execute their skills and strategies without actually risking real money. The only risk the user has to bear is the participation fee for each TRADERSYARD challenge booked.
In a virtual trading game, participants receive a virtual balance that they can use to buy and sell securities. The price movements of the securities are based on actual market conditions, giving participants the opportunity to execute their trading strategies in a realistic environment without losing or gaining real money.
In Challenge Levels 1 to 3, the participant's transactions are executed exclusively on virtual accounts. Participants act as signal providers for TRADERSYARD, which reserves the right to execute or ignore these signals on its own challenge and asset class-specific real accounts in a cooperation company licensed for this purpose, at its own discretion.
If you participate in virtual trading on any of the available trading platforms (AgnaTrader), you have the authority to conduct virtual transactions, with the exception of trading strategies or practices that fall under the prohibited category described in clause "Prohibited Gambling Activities" below. It is also your responsibility to comply with standard market regulations and practices for trading in the financial markets, including risk management. Please also note that the trading conditions you choose may impose certain restrictions on the trading platform or that TRADERSYARD may impose certain risk settings which you as a User may not override.
By using the Trading Platform, you acknowledge that TRADERSYARD has access to information about your virtual trading activities. You authorize TRADERSYARD to share this information with entities that are either affiliated with TRADERSYARD through a corporate relationship or otherwise related to TRADERSYARD. You also authorize TRADERSYARD and these entities to handle the information as they see fit and in accordance with the GDPR.
Please note that these activities may be automated and require no further consent or authorization from you. You are not entitled to any compensation or revenue in connection with TRADERSYARD's use of the data. It is important to understand that your virtual trading on the Platform does not constitute investment advice or recommendations to TRADERSYARD. In the Pay-Out Levels, users act as signal providers, whereby TRADERSYARD decides whether to execute or ignore these trades on the real money accounts of the licensed cooperation company based on various risk analyses, which are evaluated, among other things, from the trading activities of Levels 1 to Level 3 of the user.
In accordance with the rules of the Challenges, you can suspend or terminate your virtual trading on the platform at any time.
TRADERSYARD accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of the information displayed on the relevant trading platform and User Dashboard. Furthermore, TRADERSYARD cannot be held responsible for any interruptions, delays or inaccuracies in the market information displayed via your User Dashboard.
If your trading strategy violates any of the rules below, we reserve the right to investigate and take necessary action, which may include suspending your account.
During the period of virtual trading within the Challenges, it is strictly forbidden to use trading strategies that knowingly or unknowingly exploit errors in the service, such as inaccurate price displays or delayed updates.
Likewise, it is strictly prohibited to trade with an external or delayed data feed or to engage in any form of trading activity - alone or in collaboration with others, including through linked accounts or accounts held with different TRADERSYARD affiliates - with the intention of manipulating trading, e.g. through simultaneous opposite positions.
It is also prohibited to execute trades contrary to the terms and conditions of TRADERSYARD or the trading platform used.
It is expressly forbidden to purchase services or grant 3rd party companies access to the user's accounts that carry out virtual trading on behalf of the challenge participant.
The use of software, artificial intelligence, ultra-high-speed tools (high-frequency trading) or mass data entry that could be used to manipulate or exploit our systems or services or to gain an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited.
It is strictly prohibited to execute trades that are inconsistent with the manner in which trading on any of the financial markets provided to TRADERSYARD is conducted in a legally correct manner or in a manner that gives rise to a reasonable concern that the Client's activities may result in financial or other harm to TRADERSYARD.
In addition, the client is expected not to take advantage of the services by entering into transactions without applying standard risk management practices for trading on the financial markets. These practices include, among other things, the risk management specified in the TRADERSYARD Challenges, tricky to circumvent with too high positions (lucky shots).
TRADERSYARD reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether certain trades, practices, strategies or situations constitute prohibited trade practices.

https://docs.tradersyard.com/german-1/challenges/unzulassige-trading-aktivitaten/gambling-regeln link.
In the event that a customer engages in any of the prohibited trade practices, TRADERSYARD reserves the right to take the following actions:
-
this shall be deemed a violation of the terms and conditions of the respective TRADERSYARD Challenge,
-
remove any transactions that violate the prohibition from the client's trading history and/or exclude their results from the profits and/or losses generated by virtual trading, and/or
-
immediately terminate all services provided to the customer and subsequently terminate this contract.
In the event that one or more Prohibited Trading Practices are detected on one or more TRADERSYARD Challenge Accounts of a Client or on Challenge Accounts of different Clients or by the combination of trades across one or more TRADERSYARD Challenge Accounts, TRADERSYARD reserves the right to cancel all Services and terminate all relevant Contracts in respect of all TRADERSYARD Accounts of the Client. TRADERSYARD may take any action referred to in this Agreement as it deems appropriate.
Engaging in prohibited trade practices or using TRADERSYARD Challenge Accounts for such activities may result in a violation of the terms and conditions for such accounts with potential Third Party Providers. Consequently, the third party provider may also terminate the relevant agreements and delete all associated user accounts.
In the event that the Client continues to engage in any of the Prohibited Trade Practices despite prior notification by TRADERSYARD, TRADERSYARD reserves the right to deny the Client access to all or certain parts of the Services, including the User Dashboard and the Trading Platform, without any compensation. In this case, the Client shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid.
TRADERSYARD cannot accept responsibility for any trading or investment activities undertaken by the Client outside of the existing relationship. This includes any use of data or information from the user dashboard, the trading platform or any other source in connection with the services offered for actual trading on the financial markets. This applies even if the Client uses the same trading platform for both virtual and actual trading purposes. TRADERSYARD shall not be responsible for any third party services accessed by the Client via the Platform, including webinars.
The financial markets are subject to frequent and abrupt changes, which can make trading in these markets unprofitable and lead to significant financial losses.
It is important to note that previous successes and profits achieved by the client during virtual trading are not a guarantee or indication of future developments or results during live trading.
After the payment of the fee for the TRADERSYARD Challenge, the client will receive his access data for the trading platform via the e-mail address he has provided or the user dashboard. It should be noted that the activation of the TRADERSYARD Challenge is subject to the payment of the relevant fee.
If the Client is a consumer, the Client expressly requests TRADERSYARD to provide the Services before the end of the withdrawal period by opening the first Virtual Trading Account. The User decides himself when he starts virtual trading in the Challenge Accounts.

Example course of the $5000 Challenge:
- The user starts at level 1
- Each level is assigned a certain amount of the maximum account size.
- When the profit target is reached, the user advances to the next level and receives an account with a higher virtual account balance ("Virtual Account Size")
- If the cash value minus the open P&L of a challenge account has reached the daily loss limit or the level loss limit of this level, all your trades will be closed and your challenge will be marked as failed. You can continue to trade your challenge if you purchase an account reset. More information on how to reset your account can be found
Here.
- As soon as level 3 is reached, the trader qualifies for real money payouts (more details to follow) and has the right to request a payout as soon as the trader reaches Level 4
- From level 3, the user acts as a potential signal provider, for which a work contract is concluded with the user as soon as Level 4 will be reached.
- TradersYard is authorized (but not obligated) to replicate these trades on the proprietary prop trading account in order to participate in these signals.
The aforementioned parameters and their individual steps are explained in more detail at www.tradersyard.com under the heading "Challenges" and at www.docs.tradersyard.com.
There is no time limit on when the user has to start trading or how long they have to stay in a level. The user remains in the challenge until he has either reached level 10 in the profit target or has breached a loss limit (daily or level loss) for the open loss amount.
If the customer has reached the profit target of his respective level above the closed trades, his account is temporarily blocked, all his current trades are closed and his orders are deleted. The customer is informed of this by e-mail and this fact is also displayed in his user dashboard. The system then checks whether the user may have violated the "Prohibited trade activities" paragraph or other challenge rules.
If a trader has reached a payout level, he must wait until he receives confirmation of the payout, only then may he continue trading. If he continues trading before this, the trades are invalid and he may have to start the level from the beginning.
In order to be able to advance to a higher level, the following rules must also be observed, which are listed at https://docs.tradersyard.com/traderchallenge/rules-for-traderchallenge:
-
Each level has specific margin limits which can be reduced from 100% margin utilization per trade in level 1 to 10% margin limitation per trade. You can find the specific values of the margin limits on our website...
-
At least 15 trades must have been closed
If this check is positive, i.e. in the trader's favor, the user is assigned the virtual account size and the risk parameters of the next level, with which the user starts again at this level.
If the check is negative, the effects of the "Prohibited trade activities" paragraph apply. Checks within the meaning of "Prohibited trade activities" are also carried out continuously during trading activities within a level.
However, if the daily risk limit or the absolute level risk limit is reached, the challenge is terminated, all trades are automatically closed, the orders are deleted, the challenge is blocked and the status of the challenge is set to "failed".
The trader now has the option to buy back into the challenge via a reset and start again with Level 1.
