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.
