Risk Disclosure

Nature of service

ALGOTS develops software for the MetaTrader ecosystem. We do not provide personalized investment, legal or tax advice; we do not act as a broker, portfolio manager or custodian; we do not hold client funds; and we do not direct or manage client trading accounts

ALGOTS products are general-purpose software. Product information, documentation, examples, settings and educational material on this website are provided to explain the software and are not individualized recommendations to buy, sell or hold any financial instrument

Trading risk

Forex, CFDs, futures and other leveraged or margined instruments can move rapidly and may expose you to losses that are large relative to the capital allocated to a strategy. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. The suitability, availability and legal treatment of particular instruments differ by broker and jurisdiction

Automated trading & software risk

Expert Advisors execute rules automatically. Software can behave differently from expectations because of configuration errors, platform or operating-system issues, connectivity failures, delayed or missing market data, broker restrictions, trading-session conditions, third-party service outages, software bugs or other technical events

Automation does not eliminate the need for appropriate monitoring, account safeguards and an understanding of the system being used

Position exposure and drawdown

Automated trading systems can open or maintain several positions while the market moves adversely. This can increase drawdown, margin usage and the severity of losses during sustained moves. Configurable limits and protection features may constrain certain behaviours, but they do not eliminate risk or guarantee that a loss limit will be achieved exactly in all market, broker or execution conditions. Significant losses, margin calls or account liquidation remain possible.

Performance, live results & backtests

Past or live performance is not a guarantee of future results. Market structure, volatility, liquidity, costs and execution conditions change over time

Hypothetical, simulated and backtested results have inherent limitations. They do not represent actual trading and may benefit from hindsight. They cannot fully reproduce the effects of liquidity, slippage, changing spreads, execution delays, rejected orders, outages, human intervention or the psychological and financial impact of sustaining real losses

Whenever ALGOTS publishes backtested or simulated performance, it should be identified as such and accompanied by material test assumptions such as the tested period, market, starting balance, pricing or tick model, costs and relevant configuration. Actual trading can differ materially from the simulation

Live and simulated results should never be treated as equivalent. Where both are shown, they should be clearly identified and separated

Broker, execution & third-party risk

Results can vary between brokers and accounts because of spreads, commissions, swaps, leverage, symbol specifications, execution model, slippage, liquidity, stop levels, trading hours, data quality and other conditions outside ALGOTS' control. MetaTrader, MQL5 Market, brokers, VPS providers, economic-calendar sources and other services are independent third parties and may change, interrupt or discontinue their services

User responsibility & local rules

You are responsible for deciding whether a product is appropriate for you, selecting and verifying its settings, supervising the account on which it runs, maintaining adequate margin and technical infrastructure, and complying with the laws, regulations, broker terms, prop-firm rules and tax obligations applicable to you

Availability of software through a global marketplace does not mean that every product, instrument, broker or trading approach is permitted or suitable in every jurisdiction

If you require advice based on your personal financial circumstances, seek an appropriately licensed independent professional
