Can I lose more than my entry fee?

No. Trading is simulated, so blowing the account never creates a debt. Your entry fee (plus any resets you choose to buy) is the absolute maximum you can lose.

No. Your entry fee is the maximum you can lose. Because all trading is simulated, there is no scenario where a losing trade creates a debt, a margin call, or a bill.

What actually happens when things go wrong:

  • If your simulated account hits its max loss / drawdown limit, the account ends. That's the entire consequence — you lose access to that simulated account, nothing more.
  • Your losses can never exceed what you've actually paid: the entry fee, plus any resets you choose to purchase afterward. Resets are always optional and unlimited on challenges (each one starts a brand-new account).
  • There are no daily loss limits on any TradeSport product — only the max-loss/drawdown rules — so a bad morning doesn't automatically end your day, but the drawdown rules are always live.

Compare that with trading real futures at a brokerage, where losses can exceed your deposit. On TradeSport, the downside is capped at what you paid, by design.

One caveat that isn't about trading: fees are non-refundable once your account is provisioned, so treat every entry or reset purchase as spent when you buy it.
