General Risk Warning

Trading financial instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment.

1. Service Limitations and Disclaimers

1.1 What Our Service Is Not

• An automated trading system
• A trade execution service
• An investment advisor or financial intermediary
• A guarantee of trading success
• A replacement for professional financial advice
• A platform that supports pyramid trading or complex position scaling

1.2 What Our Service Is

• A technical monitoring tool for TradingView webhooks
• A comparison tool for execution timing
• An AI assistant for Pine Script development
• A reporting and analytics platform for informational purposes
• A data analysis workflow to support independent decision making

2. Webhook Monitoring Risks

2.1 Technical Limitations

• Latency: Our processing typically takes 1–5 seconds due to network routing.
• Delivery cannot be guaranteed because of network interruptions, TradingView issues, rate limiting, or maintenance windows.
• Timing measurements are approximations and not a substitute for broker records.

2.2 Security Risks

• Webhook URLs must remain confidential; exposure can compromise your data.
• Incorrect configuration may result in missed or misrouted alerts.
• TradingView may change webhook payload formats without notice, impacting comparisons.

2.3 Data Risks

• Webhook data older than seven (7) days is deleted automatically.
• Service interruptions can create monitoring gaps.
• Format mismatches or third-party changes may lead to incorrect comparisons.

3. Trade Execution Comparison Risks

3.1 Critical Disclaimers

We do not execute trades. Execution comparison data is based on third-party sources that may be delayed, inaccurate, or incomplete. Reports are informational only and are not validated against official broker confirmations.

3.2 Supported Trade Types

At this time, our matching algorithm supports simple entry/exit trade sequences only:

• ✅ Enter Long → Exit Long (buy to open, sell to close)
• ✅ Enter Short → Exit Short (sell to open, buy to close)

Pyramid trading is not currently supported. Pyramiding is a strategy where traders incrementally increase position size as the market moves in their favor. Our algorithm expects a 1:1 entry-to-exit relationship. Strategies using pyramiding, scaling into positions, or partial exits may produce inaccurate or misleading comparison results.

3.3 Timing Accuracy Limitations

• Network latency can range from 10 milliseconds to several seconds.
• Clock synchronization differences may skew comparisons.
• Broker APIs can introduce additional delays or throttling.
• Our processing adds an extra 100–500 milliseconds.

3.4 Report Limitations

• Reports should not be the sole basis for trading decisions.
• Not all execution issues can be identified.
• Market conditions outside our control may impact outcomes.
• Reports do not constitute evidence of broker misconduct.

4. Pine Script AI Assistant Risks

4.1 AI-Generated Code Risks

AI-generated scripts may contain logical flaws, unexpected behavior, or performance issues. They can exhibit overfitting, look-ahead bias, survivorship bias, or repainting problems.

4.2 Strategy Development Risks

• Backtesting results do not guarantee future performance.
• Market regimes change, rendering strategies ineffective.
• Hidden biases may be embedded within suggestions.
• Generative AI may produce plausible yet incorrect logic.

4.3 Intellectual Property Risks

• Only submit code you have rights to use.
• Suggestions could resemble existing strategies inadvertently.
• We do not verify originality or patent status.

4.4 Testing Responsibility

You must thoroughly test, review, and understand all code before live deployment. Conduct paper trading and independent verification prior to risking capital.

5. Financial and Trading Risks

5.1 Market Risks

• Rapid volatility and price gaps can trigger unexpected losses.
• Limited liquidity can prevent trade execution or force unfavorable prices.
• Black swan events may cause extreme outcomes without warning.

8.1 Backtesting Limitations

• Potential survivorship bias or missing delisted instruments.
• Look-ahead bias and curve fitting can distort results.
• Transaction costs, slippage, and market impact may be understated.

8.2 Past Performance Disclaimer

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Markets evolve, strategies can fail, and historical patterns may not repeat.

9. Psychological and Behavioral Risks

9.1 Emotional Trading

Easy access to monitoring tools can encourage overtrading, revenge trading, false confidence, or analysis paralysis. Maintain disciplined risk management at all times.

9.2 Addiction Risk

Trading can become addictive. Warning signs include inability to stop despite losses, neglecting responsibilities, emotional distress when not trading, or borrowing money to trade. Seek professional help if you experience these symptoms.
