Disclaimer & Legal

1. Risk Disclosure

Algorithmic Trading Risks

Algorithmic and automated trading systems carry unique and significant risks, including but not limited to:

• Market Risk: Financial markets are inherently unpredictable. No algorithm, strategy, or backtesting result can guarantee future performance. Market conditions can change rapidly and without warning, rendering previously profitable strategies ineffective or loss-generating.
• Technology Risk: Automated trading systems rely on software, hardware, internet connectivity, and third-party services. System failures, network outages, data feed interruptions, broker API changes, and software defects may result in missed trades, duplicate orders, incorrect executions, or other unintended consequences that could lead to financial loss.
• Execution Risk: Actual order execution in live markets may differ materially from backtested or paper-traded results due to slippage, partial fills, market impact, liquidity conditions, and the difference between simulated and real market environments.
• Strategy Risk: Trading strategies that perform well in backtesting or paper trading may fail in live trading due to overfitting to historical data, changing market regimes, survivorship bias, or other factors. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
• Options Risk: Options trading involves additional risks including, but not limited to, the risk of total loss of premium paid, assignment risk, and the potentially unlimited risk associated with certain options strategies. Multi-leg options strategies may involve multiple commissions and complex tax implications.
• Leverage and Margin Risk: Trading on margin or using leveraged products can amplify both gains and losses. You may lose more than your initial investment.
