Risk Disclosure
Important: Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors. Past performance — including backtest results generated by StratScribe — is not indicative of future results. You may lose some or all of your invested capital.
1. No Financial Advice
StratScribe is a software tool that converts written trading strategy descriptions into code. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice, investment recommendations, or solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument. All generated strategies are provided for informational and educational purposes only.
2. Backtest Limitations
Backtests are simulations based on historical data. They have inherent limitations:
- Historical performance does not guarantee future results.
- Backtests cannot account for all real-world execution factors including slippage, partial fills, liquidity gaps, and market impact.
- Survivorship bias in historical data may inflate apparent performance.
- Curve-fitting to historical data may produce strategies that perform well historically but fail in live trading.
- Market conditions change over time. A strategy that performed well in one regime may perform poorly in another.
3. Code Accuracy
While StratScribe uses automated validation to check generated code for syntax errors and common logic issues, we do not guarantee that all generated code is free of errors or that it will perform as described. You are responsible for:
- Reviewing all generated code before deploying it to a live account.
- Testing on a paper/simulation account before risking real capital.
- Understanding the strategy logic and ensuring it matches your intent.
- Monitoring live strategies and intervening when necessary.
4. Automated Trading Risks
Automated execution via broker webhooks carries additional risks:
- System failures, connectivity issues, or API outages can cause missed orders or duplicate orders.
- Latency between signal generation and execution can affect fill prices.
- Incorrect configuration of position sizing, symbols, or account types can result in unintended trades.
- Always use appropriate position sizing and maintain manual oversight of automated strategies.
5. Regulatory Considerations
Trading regulations vary by jurisdiction. You are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including those related to algorithmic trading, pattern day trader rules, margin requirements, and tax reporting obligations.
6. No Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, StratScribe and its operators shall not be liable for any financial losses, trading losses, or other damages arising from your use of this platform, including but not limited to losses resulting from generated code, backtest results, or automated trading execution.
