Scope of service

The premium content is offered for informational purposes only and none of the information in it constitutes a recommendation that any particular security, portfolio of securities, transaction, or investment strategy is suitable for any specific person.

To the extent any of the information contained in the premium content may be deemed to be investment advice, such information is impersonal and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person.

Any trading signals or trading systems are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice or actionable content. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, fitness, or timeliness for any particular purposes of the trading signals or trading systems. Under no circumstances trading signals should be treated as financial advice. Trading involves substantial risks, including possible loss of principal and other losses. If investment or other professional advice is required, the services of a licensed professional should be consulted. The subscription to trading signals does not include disclosure of any strategy rules. 

From time to time, the author of the premium content may hold positions or other interests in securities mentioned in the service posts and may trade for their account based on the information presented.  The author of the premium content may also take positions inconsistent with the views expressed in the service posts.

SIMULATED 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 PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
