⚠️ IMPORTANT: Trading involves substantial risk of loss, including the potential loss of your entire investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Our trading signals are for educational purposes only and not investment advice.
Risk Disclaimer
This Risk Disclaimer applies to all users of SRDS services, including but not limited to trading signals, market analysis, and related services provided through our website, email, SMS, and other platforms.
🔴 CRITICAL WARNING: Trading in financial markets, including stocks, futures, commodities, options, and indices, carries substantial risk. You can lose some or all of your investment. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. If you do not fully understand the risks involved in trading, do not participate.
1. Nature of Trading Risk
Financial markets are inherently unpredictable and volatile. Even professional traders with decades of experience incur losses. Market prices can move dramatically in unexpected directions due to numerous factors:
- Economic data and economic cycles
- Geopolitical events and political changes
- Central bank decisions and monetary policy
- Earnings reports and corporate announcements
- Supply and demand dynamics
- Technical breaks and support/resistance levels
- Algorithmic trading and institutional flows
- Market gaps and limit moves
- Liquidity gaps and widening spreads
- Black swan events and unforeseen circumstances
2. Our Services Are Educational Only
SRDS trading signals, market analysis, recommendations, and all other services are provided for educational purposes only. We do NOT provide investment advice, financial advice, or professional trading advice. Our services are not tailored to your individual financial situation, risk tolerance, investment objectives, or circumstances.
You are solely responsible for:
- Evaluating the suitability of our services for your individual circumstances
- Consulting with qualified financial advisors, accountants, and legal professionals before making trading decisions
- Verifying all information from independent sources
- Making your own independent trading decisions
- Managing your own risk and position sizing
- Understanding the mechanics and risks of all trading instruments
3. Signals Are Not Guaranteed
Our trading signals are based on technical analysis, historical patterns, and market observations. They represent our educated opinions about potential trading opportunities. However:
- Technical analysis is subjective and not an exact science
- Market conditions can change unexpectedly
- Historical patterns do not guarantee future results
- Trading setups can fail without warning
- Entry and exit points may not be achieved at suggested levels
- Markets can gap through stop-loss levels
- Recommended stop-loss levels do not prevent losses
- No signal has a 100% success rate
4. Past Performance Does Not Guarantee Future Results
Any historical data, past performance metrics, or success rates we present are provided for informational purposes only. Past performance does not and cannot guarantee future results. Market conditions change constantly, and strategies that worked historically may not work in the future. Equities, futures, options, and commodities markets are subject to rapid changes that can make previously successful approaches ineffective.
5. Leverage and Margin Risk
Many traders use margin (borrowed money) to increase position sizes and potential profits. However, leverage dramatically increases risk. Key points about leverage:
- Leverage can amplify losses as well as profits
- You can lose more than your initial investment with leverage
- Margin calls can force liquidation of positions at unfavorable prices
- Brokers can close positions without notice
- Interest and fees associated with margin reduce profits
- Leverage is extremely dangerous for inexperienced traders
6. Specific Market Risks
Stock Trading:
- Individual stocks can move 10%+ in a single day
- Company-specific events can cause sudden price moves
- Stocks can be delisted or become worthless
- Dividend cuts or suspended dividends affect prices
Options Trading:
- Options can expire worthless, resulting in 100% loss
- Option prices can collapse rapidly, especially near expiration
- Limited liquidity can make entry and exit difficult
- Options are leveraged instruments with magnified risk
- Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega) create complex risks
Futures Trading:
- Futures use significant leverage, magnifying gains and losses
- Markets can gap through stop-loss orders
- Contracts expire and must be rolled to new contracts
- Daily settlement and margin requirements can force liquidation
- Futures markets have lower liquidity during off-hours trading
Commodity Trading:
- Commodity prices are highly volatile and unpredictable
- Supply shocks and geopolitical events cause sudden moves
- Macroeconomic data significantly impacts commodity prices
- Commodity futures require substantial capital
7. Technical Analysis Limitations
While we believe technical analysis is valuable, it has significant limitations:
- Technical analysis is subjective and interpretable in multiple ways
- Different analysts may reach different conclusions from the same data
- Chart patterns are not reliable predictors of future price movement
- Support and resistance levels often fail
- Indicators lag price action and may provide false signals
- Technical analysis ignores fundamental factors and news events
- Market conditions that break technical patterns happen regularly
8. Technology and System Risks
- Internet connectivity failures can prevent signal delivery or trade execution
- Email and SMS services may be delayed or fail
- Trading platforms and brokers may experience outages
- Software bugs and glitches can cause unexpected issues
- Cybersecurity breaches could compromise your account
- Power outages or hardware failures can interrupt service
9. Broker and Counterparty Risk
- Your broker could become insolvent or fail
- Broker errors could result in incorrect order execution
- Margin calls or forced liquidations can occur unexpectedly
- Regulatory changes could affect trading access or conditions
- Currency exchange rates affect international trading
10. Signal Timing and Execution Risk
- By the time you receive signals, market conditions may have changed
- Entry prices may not be achievable at suggested levels
- Slippage (difference between expected and actual execution price) can be significant
- Market gaps can skip over stop-loss levels entirely
- Liquidity constraints can make execution difficult
- Order rejections can prevent intended trades
11. Emotional and Psychological Risks
- Trading can be emotionally stressful and psychologically demanding
- Fear and greed often lead to poor trading decisions
- Emotional trading typically results in losses
- Winning trades can create overconfidence and excessive risk-taking
- Losing streaks can lead to revenge trading and larger losses
- Addiction to trading and gambling-like behavior can develop
12. Tax Implications
Trading has tax consequences. You are responsible for:
- Understanding tax implications of your trading activity
- Reporting all trading gains and losses to tax authorities
- Consulting with qualified tax professionals
- Maintaining accurate records of all trades
- Paying applicable taxes on trading profits
13. Age and Legal Restrictions
Our services are intended for adults 18 years of age or older. You confirm that you are legally able to enter into trading contracts in your jurisdiction and that you have the legal capacity to use our services.
14. Limitations of Our Analysis
- We cannot predict market movements with certainty
- Unforeseen events can invalidate technical analysis
- Market conditions can change faster than we can analyze and communicate
- Our analysis represents opinions, not facts
- No amount of analysis can eliminate trading risk
- Different traders may implement signals differently, affecting results
15. No Guarantee of Profitability
We make NO guarantee that you will be profitable. Trading results are highly variable and depend on numerous factors including market conditions, your individual trading execution, position sizing, risk management, and pure chance. Even traders who follow all our guidance exactly can experience losses.
