IMPORTANT: Trading financial instruments including futures, stocks, options, forex and other securities involves substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors. Please read this Risk Disclosure carefully before using The Trader Alert products or services.
1. Trading Involves Substantial Risk
Trading in financial markets involves a high degree of risk. You can lose some or all of your invested capital. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss exceeding your initial investment. You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your financial circumstances, investment objectives and risk tolerance.
Past performance of any trading strategy, indicator or system is not necessarily indicative of future results. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown or discussed anywhere on this Site.
2. The Trader Alert Does Not Provide Financial Advice
The Trader Alert is a software company that provides technical indicator tools for use with NinjaTrader 8 and other compatible trading platforms. We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor or financial planning firm. Nothing on this Site or within our software constitutes:
- Financial advice or investment advice
- A recommendation to buy or sell any security or financial instrument
- Trading signals or trade recommendations
- An endorsement of any particular trading strategy
- A guarantee of any particular trading outcome
All trading decisions are made solely by you. You are fully responsible for all trading decisions and their outcomes.
3. Our Indicators Are Tools Only
The indicators provided by The Trader Alert are technical analysis tools designed to alert you when user-defined conditions are met on a price chart. They do not predict future price movements, guarantee profitable trades, or make trading decisions on your behalf.
The effectiveness of any technical indicator depends entirely on how it is configured and used within your overall trading strategy. No indicator or alert system can guarantee profitability or prevent losses.
4. Alert Delivery Risk
While we strive to ensure reliable alert delivery, we cannot guarantee that alerts will be delivered in a timely manner or at all. Alert delivery depends on factors outside our control including but not limited to:
- Your internet connection and computer performance
- NinjaTrader platform performance and data feed reliability
- Email server availability and delivery times
- SMS carrier gateway reliability and filtering policies
- Third-party service availability
You should not rely solely on alerts from our software for time-sensitive trading decisions. Always monitor your charts and positions directly.
The Trader Alert is not liable for any trading losses, missed opportunities or financial damages of any kind resulting from alerts that failed to fire, fired late, fired incorrectly or were not received for any reason. You acknowledge that alert delivery is dependent on factors outside our control and that you bear sole responsibility for monitoring your trading positions at all times.
5. Technology Risk
The use of electronic trading systems and software carries inherent risks including but not limited to hardware failure, software bugs, internet outages and data feed errors. These technical issues could result in missed alerts, delayed notifications or incorrect indicator readings. We are not responsible for any trading losses resulting from technical failures of any kind.
6. Futures Trading Risk
If you are trading futures contracts please be aware that futures trading involves leverage and can result in losses that exceed your initial margin deposit. Futures markets can be highly volatile and prices can move rapidly in response to economic, political and market events. You should thoroughly understand how futures contracts work and the risks involved before trading them.
7. No Guarantee of Results
The Trader Alert makes no representation that any user will or is likely to achieve profits similar to any examples, testimonials or results discussed on this Site or in any marketing materials. Individual results will vary significantly based on market conditions, trading strategy, risk management, capital, experience and many other factors.
Any examples of trading results shown anywhere on this Site are for illustrative purposes only and are not representative of what any particular user should expect to achieve.
