Discretionary Catch-All
Firm-reserved discretionary termination/denial rights not captured by a specific rule — broad ‘unsportsmanlike conduct’, ‘abuse of system’, or ‘we may deny at our sole discretion’ clauses.
The rule
Firm-reserved discretionary termination/denial rights not captured by a specific rule — broad ‘unsportsmanlike conduct’, ‘abuse of system’, or ‘we may deny at our sole discretion’ clauses.
In denialrate’s refusal-ground taxonomy this category maps to a discretionary right — a broad reserved right the firm may invoke at its own judgement (the “catch-all” clauses). The ground tells a trader which kind of clause to look for in a firm’s terms: a process rule, a risk rule, a prohibited-conduct rule, a KYC rule, or a discretionary right the firm reserves to itself.
Industry-estimate share
Industry estimate: 5% of prop-firm payout denials. industry estimate, source: hftarbitrageplatform.com, accessed 2026-08-03. This is an industry estimate, not a denialrate measurement; denialrate adopts the taxonomy and publishes its own per-firm, per-category counts as the verified-cases ledger fills.
Firms affected
No firms confirmed in this category yet. The category is published so the structure exists before the data fills. A firm appears here once its terms invoke this category’s rule or a verified denial case is recorded against it.
Verified cases across firms
0 verified cases in this category. A verified case is a denied-payout report denialrate has checked against a primary source (the firm’s terms, a court filing, a regulator notice). Trader reports alone never count as a verified case.
