Part 1: Company Overview

Regulatory Status Notice

FundYourEdge, Inc. ("FundYourEdge" or the "Company") issues this notice to clarify its regulatory status under applicable United States federal and state financial services laws. This document provides a comprehensive description of our business operations to demonstrate why our services do not fall within the scope of activities requiring registration with federal financial regulatory agencies.

What FundYourEdge Is NOT

FundYourEdge wishes to state clearly and unequivocally:

We are NOT a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
We are NOT a futures commission merchant (FCM) registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
We are NOT a commodity pool operator (CPO) or commodity trading advisor (CTA) registered with the CFTC or National Futures Association (NFA).
We are NOT an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
We do NOT accept customer deposits for trading or investment purposes.
We do NOT hold, manage, or have custody of customer funds for trading.
We do NOT provide investment advice, trading recommendations, or portfolio management services.
We do NOT solicit funds for investment or offer securities or investment contracts.

Registration with these regulatory bodies is not required because our business operations do not engage in the regulated activities that trigger such requirements, as described in detail below.

What FundYourEdge IS

FundYourEdge is a proprietary trading firm that provides:

Simulated Trading Evaluation Programs — Fee-based educational assessment services conducted in simulated environments using virtual funds, designed to evaluate trader skill, discipline, and risk management capabilities.

Funded Trading Opportunities — Performance-based compensation programs for qualified traders who demonstrate proficiency. Funded traders trade in simulated environments referencing real-time market data. FundYourEdge may, at its sole discretion, independently replicate trades to its own proprietary accounts using Company capital. At no point do participants directly access exchange accounts or trade with real capital.

The fees paid by participants are payments for assessment and educational services—not deposits of capital for trading or investment.

Part 2: How It Works

Phase 1: Trader Evaluation (Simulated Environment)

Prospective traders purchase access to our Evaluation Program, which is an educational assessment service designed to measure trading skill, discipline, and risk management capabilities.

Service Nature

The Evaluation Program is a fee-based assessment service—not an investment product or securities offering. The fee paid by participants is compensation for access to our proprietary evaluation platform, educational resources, and performance assessment tools. This is comparable to fees paid for professional certification examinations or skills assessments.

Simulated Trading Only

All trading activity during the Evaluation Phase occurs in a simulated environment using virtual funds. No trades are transmitted to any exchange. No real capital—whether belonging to the participant or the Company—is placed at risk during this phase.

No Customer Funds at Risk

Participants do not deposit trading capital with FundYourEdge. Evaluation fees are not held for investment purposes, are not segregated as customer trading funds, and are not used in any trading activity.

Performance Metrics

Participants must achieve defined profit targets while adhering to risk management parameters (maximum drawdown limits, position sizing rules, etc.) to demonstrate their qualifications.

Phase 2: Funded Trading (Simulated Environment, Company Capital)

Participants who successfully complete the Evaluation Program may be offered a funded trading account. Funded accounts remain simulated trading environments from the user's perspective. FundYourEdge may, at its sole discretion, independently replicate trading activity to its own proprietary accounts.

Simulated Trading Environment

Funded traders continue to trade in simulated environments that reference real-time market data. No trades are directly transmitted to any exchange by the funded trader. FundYourEdge may independently replicate or copy trades from funded accounts to its own proprietary trading accounts at regulated brokers—funded traders have no direct access to, ownership of, or control over any such accounts.

Proprietary Capital Exclusively

Any trade replication activity resulting from trade replication uses capital owned entirely by FundYourEdge. At no point do participants deposit investment funds, contribute capital to a trading pool, or acquire any ownership interest in trading accounts or Company assets.

Company-Owned Accounts

To the extent FundYourEdge replicates trades to exchange markets, such accounts are established in the name of FundYourEdge with regulated executing brokers and clearing firms that are members of the NFA and registered with the CFTC. Funded traders hold no account ownership, signatory authority, or beneficial interest in these accounts.

Independent Contractor Relationship

Funded traders operate as independent contractors—not employees, partners, agents, or investors of FundYourEdge. They receive performance-based compensation (profit sharing) calculated on simulated account performance.

Profit Sharing Structure

Funded traders receive a percentage of net trading profits as calculated from their simulated account performance. This arrangement is analogous to a performance bonus or sales commission—not a return on invested capital, as the trader has no capital at risk.

Risk Borne by Company

All trading losses from any trade replication are absorbed by FundYourEdge. Funded traders do not bear financial liability for trading losses, as they have no capital invested and no direct access to exchange accounts.

Summary of Fund Flow

Transaction	Source	Destination	Purpose
Evaluation Fee	Participant	FundYourEdge	Payment for assessment services
Trading Capital	FundYourEdge	Company Trading Accounts	Proprietary trading operations
Profit Share	FundYourEdge	Funded Trader	Performance-based compensation

At no point does customer money enter any trading account or become subject to market risk.

Part 3: Registration & Compliance

Why Registration Is Not Required

Based on the business operations described above, FundYourEdge does not engage in activities that trigger registration requirements with the SEC, CFTC, NFA, or FINRA.

1. No Custody or Control of Customer Funds for Trading

FundYourEdge does not accept, hold, or manage customer funds for the purpose of trading or investment. The SEC Customer Protection Rule (Rule 15c3-3) and CFTC customer fund segregation requirements apply to entities that hold customer funds for trading purposes. Because participant payments are fees for services—not deposits for trading—these rules do not apply.

2. No Broker-Dealer Activity

FundYourEdge does not execute trades on behalf of customers using customer funds, maintain customer securities accounts, act as an intermediary between customers and securities markets, or solicit orders for the accounts of others. The Company trades exclusively for its own proprietary account. This structure falls outside the definition of "broker" and "dealer" under Sections 3(a)(4) and 3(a)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

3. No Futures Commission Merchant Activity

FundYourEdge does not solicit or accept orders for futures or options contracts on behalf of customers, accept customer funds to margin, guarantee, or secure trades, or maintain customer accounts for futures trading. All futures trading is conducted using Company capital in Company-owned accounts. This falls outside the definition of "futures commission merchant" under Section 1a(28) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

4. No Commodity Pool Operation

FundYourEdge does not operate a commodity pool because it does not solicit, accept, or receive funds from multiple persons for combined trading, pool participant capital for investment in futures, options, or swaps, or offer participation interests in a trading fund. The Company trades solely its own proprietary capital. Participant evaluation fees are not pooled for trading purposes. This structure is exempt from Commodity Pool Operator ("CPO") registration under CFTC Regulation 4.10(d)(1).

5. No Investment Advisory Services

FundYourEdge does not provide personalized investment advice or trading recommendations, manage client portfolios or investment accounts, or receive compensation for advising others on the value of securities. All information provided by FundYourEdge is intended solely for educational and informational purposes related to trading. This falls outside the definition of "investment adviser" under Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

6. Simulated Trading Disclosures

All evaluation activity occurs in simulated environments with full disclosure to participants. Simulated performance is clearly identified as hypothetical in compliance with CFTC Rule 4.41. No representation is made that simulated results reflect actual trading performance.

CFTC Rule 4.41 — Hypothetical Performance Disclaimer

HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

Applicable Legal Framework

The Company's operational structure aligns with exemptions recognized for:

Proprietary trading firms trading exclusively their own capital (SEC Release No. 34-102022)
Entities not meeting the definition of "dealer" under the Securities Exchange Act due to absence of customer account handling
Firms exempt from CPO/CTA registration under CFTC Regulations 4.5 and 4.13
Educational service providers not engaged in regulated financial activities

Neither the National Futures Association (NFA) nor the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) requires proprietary trading evaluation firms to register with or be members of any regulatory organization when operating under the structure described herein.

Voluntary Compliance Commitments

While not required to register with federal financial regulators, FundYourEdge voluntarily maintains the following standards to ensure operational integrity and consumer protection:

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Procedures

Comprehensive identity verification (KYC) through licensed third-party providers prior to account activation and payout processing

Regulated Execution Partners

To the extent FundYourEdge replicates trades from funded accounts to exchange markets, all such execution occurs through brokers that are registered with the CFTC and are members of the NFA

CME Group Market Data Compliance

Transparent Disclosures
