1. Nature of Content

All content provided in the Publication, including articles, posts, comments, newsletters, charts, analyses, and any other materials (collectively, “Content”), is for general informational and educational purposes only.

The Content discusses topics such as order flow analysis, options, dealer gamma positioning, futures microstructure, options markets, market structure, execution frameworks, risk management, psychology, quant concepts, tools for Sierra Chart or any other topic related or not related to trading.

It does not constitute personalized financial, investment, trading, tax, or legal advice. We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial professional.

You should not rely on the Content as the sole basis for any trading or investment decisions.

2. No Investment Advice or Recommendations

Nothing in the Publication should be construed as a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or trade any security, futures contract, option, or other financial instrument.

Any examples, charts, historical data, backtests, or hypothetical scenarios are illustrative only and do not guarantee future results.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading futures, options, and equities involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.

You alone are responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with any trading decisions.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

• Free subscriptions provide access to selected Content.

• Paid subscriptions grant access to additional exclusive Content, as described on the Publication’s page.

• No refunds will be provided except as required by law or at our sole discretion.

5. Intellectual Property

All Content is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or otherwise exploit the Content without our prior written permission.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or capital, arising from your use of the Publication or reliance on the Content—even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
