- Contravention. The information, data, methodologies, Software, and services provided by the Author are available for purchase and are not intended to be published or made available to any person in any jurisdiction where doing so would result in contravention of any applicable laws or regulations. Accordingly, if it is prohibited to make such Software available in the Recipient’s jurisdiction or to the Recipient (by reason of nationality, residence or otherwise) it is not directed at the Recipient. Before making a purchase of any software or services from the Author, Recipient must be satisfied that doing so will not result in such a contravention and is not so prohibited, and by proceeding to review them Recipient will be confirming that this is not the case.
- Subscription Fees.
- Auto Renewal. Recipient’s membership will automatically renew for the monthly, quarterly, annual or other subscription period originally signed up for, until Recipient notifies Author of decision to terminate membership and completes the cancellation procedures through the Recipient’s online account portal before the end of the existing subscription period. Accordingly, Recipient agrees that any membership fee or subscription will be billed automatically at the beginning of each renewal period at the prevailing rate to the payment method used in the most recent transaction.
- Subscription Term Modification. Recipient may modify the length of the subscription service selected. Upgrades to a lengthier term will occur immediately.

- Disclaimer of All Other Warranties. Author disclaims to the fullest extent authorized by law any and all other warranties, whether express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
- No Warranties.
- Disclosures & Disclaimers.
- NinjaTrader Affiliation. NinjaTrader® is a registered trademark of NinjaTrader Group, LLC. No NinjaTrader company has any affiliation with the Author’s products or services described herein, or any interest, ownership or otherwise, in any such product or service, or endorses, recommends or approves any such product or service made available by Author.
- Risk of Loss. Trading stocks, futures, options or spot currencies involves substantial risk and there is always the potential for loss. People can and do lose money. Past performance does not guarantee future results and is not indicative of future performance. Recipient’s trading results may vary. Because the risk factor is high in trading the markets, only genuine “risk” funds should be used in such trading. If Recipient does not have the extra capital that Recipient can afford to lose, Recipient should not trade in the markets. No “safe” trading system has ever been devised, and no one can guarantee profits or freedom from loss.
- Required Disclosure and Other Trading Disclosures.
- All Results. All trading results presented by Author in writing, picture, video, or otherwise are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
- Hypothetical Results. All trading results presented by Author in their marketing materials are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
- Hypothetical Disclosure. HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING SYSTEM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
- No Recommendation for Buy or Sell. Nothing presented by the Author through the provided Software or other Services should be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Trading in Commodity Futures is very risky. There is a possibility of substantial financial loss, greater even than monies initially invested. Simulated, hypothetical performance results have certain inherent limitations, due to the fact that the trades have not actually been executed.
- Simulated Results. Simulated trading results, in general, may be influenced by the fact that the algorithms which generated them were designed in consideration of historical trends, and with the benefit of hindsight. Past real or hypothetical performance is not a guarantee of future results, real or hypothetical. No representation is made that any trading account would, or would be likely to achieve profits or losses similar to the real or hypothetical results. Author is held harmless and is without liability regarding any use whatsoever of the trading system software and services.
- Trading may not be Suitable. Trading may not be suitable for all potential users of the Author’s Software and Services. Recipient, and not Author, assumes the entire cost and risks of any trading Recipient may choose to undertake. Under no circumstances shall Author be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from the use of or the inability to use, the materials, if any, provided by Author. Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Recipient. In no event shall Author’s total liability to Recipient for all damages, losses and causes of action, whether contract or tort (including, but not limited to negligence), or otherwise exceed the amount paid by Recipient for the current year, if any, for use of materials provided by Author.
- Investment Advice. Author is not a registered broker dealer, financial advisor, or investment advisor. Author does not provide personal investment advice. Always seek advice and guidance from professional, licensed, and registered investment advisors, financial advisors, tax advisors, and legal advisors prior to making any investment decisions.
- Methodology and System. Any trading methodology, Software, or system presented, suggested or recommended by Author are ideas that are subject to change without notice. The ultimate choice and responsibility of a trading methodology, Software, and/or system is Recipient’s alone. Any results or performance numbers are hypothetical, apply only to the current version of trading methodologies, Software, and/or systems, and are not intended to show the results of past versions of methodologies, Software, or systems. Author is not responsible for notifying Recipient about changes in methodologies or systems and has neither the right nor responsibility to alter what is traded in Recipient’s accounts.
- Trade Signals. Author makes a good faith effort to see that all trading signals are correctly generated but cannot be held liable for missed or erroneous trades or for operation issues on Recipient’s trading platform and trading system(s). Additionally, from time to time, depending on market conditions, the Author may determine it is best for signal performance to pause the release of new signals until market conditions improve. There are no credits/refunds for days in which signals are not released as it is part of the Author’s overall strategy of identifying and maintaining high quality actionable trade signals.
- Results. No representation is being made that any account will achieve similar results to any other account or actual or hypothetical performance numbers presented in the Author’s site or materials. Results can vary significantly from brokerage to brokerage, depending upon many factors not under the control of the Author.
- Trading Platform. Author trading signals, charts, Software, methodologies, and system are functional only on specified trading platforms. It is the Recipient’s responsibility to obtain, at a separate fee, the appropriate trading platform (e.g., NinjaTrader, TradeStation, etc.) to receive the Author provided trading signals.
- Recipient Acknowledge. By signing this agreement, or by installing, copying, or using the software, Recipient agrees they fully understand all representations made, or that have been made by Author are based on hypothetical trading results and Recipient fully understand no NinjaTrader company has any affiliation with the Author’s products or services herein, or otherwise.
- Data Feeds. Differences between data feeds might not only alter the entry and exit times and prices used by separate instance of the same trading system, in some cases these data feed differences will lead to entirely different trading decisions and outcome.
- Reasonable Care. Author has taken all reasonable care and precaution to ensure that information about the System and Services is fair and accurate, or has been compiled from sources believed to be reliable. Nevertheless, the Author does not make any representations or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose or use of the Software and Services. The Software may not in all cases be current, and it is subject to continuous change. Accordingly, Recipient should not rely on any part of the Software as authoritative or a substitute for the exercise of Recipient’s own skill and judgment in making any investment or other decision. Author does not warrant that the Software is error free, and will not be liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential loss arising from any use of or reliance on this Software.

If the Software and related documentation are supplied to or purchased by or on behalf of the United States Government, then the Software is deemed to be “commercial software” as that term is used in the Federal Acquisition Regulation system.

terms are otherwise breached by the Recipient, the Recipient will be liable for
each instance of breach multiplied by the initial sign-up fee plus the yearly
subscription price for the Author’s product at the time of breach.

If the download is further shared, the Recipient will be liable for each instance of dissemination as described above. This example is not all inclusive and is illustrative of how damages will be applied and calculated.
- Other fees and costs. The Author shall be entitled to recover any fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in obtaining any such relief.
