RISK DISCLAIMER
1. Purpose and scope
This Risk Disclaimer explains the risks inherent in trading financial markets and the specific risks associated with using TradeSoft tools and indicators on platforms such as NinjaTrader 8. By installing, activating, or using our software, you acknowledge that you fully understand and accept these risks and that you are solely responsible for your trading decisions and results.
2. No financial or investment advice
TradeSoft provides software, indicators, and educational materials for informational and educational purposes only. We do not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Nothing on the Website, in documentation, backtest screenshots, examples, webinars, or communications should be interpreted as a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.
3. Trading risk and potential losses
Trading futures, CFDs, forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, or other leveraged products involves a high level of risk. You may lose all of the capital invested and, in certain cases, incur losses exceeding the amount initially deposited.
Users may lose prop firm accounts or real capital if they assign a live account to the strategy—especially when they ignore recommended risk guidelines or unilaterally increase leverage and position size.
4. Leverage, position size, and risk templates
TradeSoft may provide risk templates and indicative configuration guidelines that define baseline position sizes, daily loss limits, and other protective parameters.
The user must apply these templates correctly and follow instructions exactly. If the user modifies these settings, increases leverage, removes loss limits, or assumes higher risk than suggested, they fully accept the consequences of those decisions, including rapid equity declines and possible account termination.
5. Performance metrics and profit factor
Performance metrics may be published from time to time (e.g., profit factor, win rate, maximum drawdown, average profit per trade, etc.) for transparency purposes only. These figures come from backtests, forward tests, or records under specific conditions and, where applicable, using recommended risk templates.
Such results do not guarantee future performance. Any change in the instrument, broker, data provider, latency, commissions, slippage, risk configuration, or market conditions will affect results.
6. Differences between backtests and real-time results
Backtests and simulations use historical data and assume certain scenarios for slippage, commissions, and order execution. Live markets may differ substantially due to factors such as liquidity, gaps, spikes, partial fills, platform latency, temporary halts, data errors, or changes in institutional behavior.
Therefore, live results may deviate significantly from any backtest, simulation, or published example.
7. Automation, platform, and data risks
Automated execution adds specific risks. Platform failures, internet connection issues, VPS incidents, broker outages, data feed interruptions, symbol errors, or contract roll issues can cause entries not to execute, exits to be delayed, or unwanted positions.
The user is responsible for monitoring their platform, periodically reviewing logs, and having reasonable contingency plans (e.g., manually closing positions in the event of technical issues).
8. User responsibilities
The user is responsible for the choice of instruments traded, account type, broker, data provider, and the correct installation and configuration of TradeSoft indicators or strategies.
It is the user’s obligation to read and follow the installation guide, apply risk templates when provided, regularly review logs, and ensure that trading aligns with their own risk tolerance. If conditions are not suitable, the user must reduce risk or stop trading.
9. Prop firm accounts and compliance with rules
Prop firms often impose strict rules: daily loss limits, maximum drawdown, news filters, instrument restrictions, trading hours, etc. TradeSoft does not bypass or modify such rules.
The user is responsible for ensuring that their configuration complies at all times with the prop firm’s conditions. Any breach may result in immediate loss or termination of the account, even if the strategy logic is correct.
10. Recommended use and risk management
It is strongly recommended to start with simulation or paper trading, and then test with a reduced risk size before allocating significant capital or prop firm accounts.
It is advisable to use recommended risk templates, keep daily and per-trade risk within documented limits, avoid trading during high-volatility events or restricted news (where applicable), and not increase position size faster than the real evolution of your equity curve and the rules of your plan.
11. No profit guarantee and limitation of liability
No method, system, or software can guarantee profits. By using TradeSoft, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the owner of TradeSoft, its developers, collaborators, and affiliated entities shall not be liable for direct or indirect losses arising from the use or inability to use the software, including, by way of example and without limitation, loss of capital, prop firm accounts, profits, or business opportunities.
12. Regulatory status and eligibility
TradeSoft is solely analysis software and a decision-support tool. It is not a broker, financial intermediary, or investment advisor, and it does not accept or hold client funds.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the use of automated strategies and analysis tools like TradeSoft is legal in their jurisdiction and complies with applicable regulatory requirements.
13. Educational nature of materials and support
Any guide, video, webinar, trading example, contextual explanation, or support communication is purely educational and general in nature.
Support may help with installation, basic configuration, and clarifications about how the software works, but it will not tell you what to trade, when to enter or exit the market, or how much risk you should assume per trade.
14. Acceptance of the risk disclaimer
By downloading, installing, activating, or using the TradeSoft software, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accept the contents of this Risk Disclaimer, and that you assume full responsibility for your trading decisions and risk exposure.
