Risk & simulated data disclaimer

Last updated: [date]. Operator: [legal entity name], [registered address], [country].

Draft template. This page was drafted by the operator of TickForge as a starting point. It is not legal advice and has not been reviewed by a lawyer or independently verified. Placeholders in square brackets must be completed and the whole document reviewed by qualified counsel before you take payments.

1. All charts are synthetic

Every chart, tick, candle, volume figure and pattern shown in TickForge is generated by our own algorithm. It is not real market data, not a recording of any exchange feed, and not a historical reconstruction of what any instrument actually did on any date.

Instrument names, index names and reference price levels are used only to give the simulation a familiar starting point. Any resemblance to the actual price path of a real instrument is coincidental.

2. Not investment advice

TickForge is a practice and education tool. Nothing in the product — including pattern detections, strategy simulation results, alerts or AI-generated commentary — is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any instrument. We are not a broker, exchange, investment adviser or research analyst, and we do not execute orders or handle client funds.

3. Simulated results are not real results

Strategy simulation runs on synthetic data. Simulated performance has inherent limitations: it involves no real capital, no real order queue, no slippage risk from a real order book, no funding costs unless you model them, and the benefit of hindsight over a data set the engine itself produced. Simulated results have no predictive value for real trading and should never be presented as a track record.

4. Trading risk

Trading and investing in securities, derivatives and leveraged products carry substantial risk of loss, including loss greater than your initial deposit in leveraged products. You are solely responsible for any decision you take in a live market. Consider seeking advice from a licensed professional in your jurisdiction before trading.

5. Availability and accuracy

The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the simulation, pattern detection or any statistic is accurate, complete, uninterrupted or fit for any particular purpose. Features may change or be withdrawn.

6. Jurisdiction

The service is offered from [country] and is intended for users in [list of countries you intend to serve]. It is your responsibility to ensure that using a trading-simulation product is lawful where you are. We may restrict access from jurisdictions where the product would require a licence or registration we do not hold.
