Risk Disclaimer

Section 01

Trading involves substantial risk of loss

Foreign exchange, commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies and synthetic indices are leveraged products. Leverage magnifies gains and losses alike, and it is possible to lose money rapidly. You should not trade with money you need, borrowed money, or money whose loss would materially affect you.

Section 02

Past performance is not indicative of future results

Every performance figure we publish is a historical backtest result unless we explicitly label it otherwise. Backtests are simulations run over historical market data. They are not records of live trading and they are not a guarantee, projection or promise of future performance.

We publish our testing methodology openly because we would rather you judge the numbers than take them on faith. Honest testing still cannot tell you what a market will do next. Live results differ from simulated results because of spread, slippage, execution delay, broker conditions, market gaps, and market regimes that have no precedent in the test window.

Section 03

Results vary between users

Two people running the same software will not get the same outcome. Returns vary with account size, risk setting, broker, spread and commission, execution quality, leverage, the pairs you choose to run, and when you start. No figure we publish should be read as the result you will personally obtain.

Section 04

This is not financial advice

Synapse Dynamics LLC is not a licensed financial services provider, broker, or investment adviser, and nothing we publish or supply constitutes financial, investment, tax or legal advice, or a personal recommendation to trade any instrument.

Our software is a tool that you choose to operate. It does not know your circumstances, objectives or risk tolerance, and it does not take them into account. If you are unsure whether automated trading is appropriate for you, seek advice from a licensed professional in your own country before proceeding.

Section 05

Automated trading carries its own risks

• Software can encounter conditions its testing never covered, and behave unexpectedly as a result.
• Automated systems depend on your platform, computer or VPS, and internet connection remaining online.
• Broker-side factors, including requotes, widened spreads, slippage, gaps and outages, affect real results and are outside our control.
• An automated system left unattended can accumulate losses without a human noticing. You remain responsible for monitoring your accounts.

Section 06

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for your trading decisions, your risk settings, your choice of broker, and any profit or loss. We strongly recommend testing on a demo account first, and beginning with the smallest risk setting you are comfortable with.

Prop-firm and funded-account traders remain responsible for compliance with their firm's rules. Our tools include features intended to help with common requirements, but the obligation to meet those rules is yours.
