Risk Disclosure

Last updated 29 August 2026

Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose more than your initial deposit with leveraged products. Never trade money you cannot afford to lose entirely.

1. We are an education and software provider, not an advisor

VolumeTribe sells trading education, indicators, automated systems (Expert Advisors), signals and journalling software. We are not a licensed financial advisor, broker, fund manager or investment firm, and nothing we publish is personal financial advice.

Nothing on this site, in our courses, in our signals or in our community takes account of your financial situation, objectives or risk tolerance. If you need advice about whether trading is appropriate for you, consult a licensed professional in your jurisdiction.

2. Past performance means nothing about the future

Any performance figure we publish — win rates, profit factors, backtest results, example trades, screenshots — describes what happened in the past under specific conditions. It is not a prediction and not a promise. Markets change, and a strategy that worked in one regime can lose consistently in another.

3. Backtested and hypothetical results have known limits

Where a figure is derived from a backtest or simulation, understand what that means:

  • Hypothetical results are produced with the benefit of hindsight.
  • They do not involve real financial risk, and therefore do not reflect the effect of fear, hesitation or discipline on real decisions.
  • They may not fully account for slippage, spread widening, commission, swap, requotes, gaps or liquidity gaps.
  • No backtest can account for a market condition that has not occurred yet.

Frequently, hypothetical results differ sharply from what a live account achieves.

4. Automated systems can fail

Expert Advisors and indicators are software. They can be affected by platform updates, broker server differences, connection loss, incorrect settings, symbol naming, time-zone offsets and market conditions their logic never anticipated. An automated system left unattended can lose money quickly. Test on a demo account first, and monitor anything running on a live account.

5. Signals are information, not instructions

Signals we publish describe what one of our tools detected. They are not an instruction to trade, not tailored to you, and carry no guarantee of outcome. You are solely responsible for every order you place, including position size and risk.

6. Prop firm evaluations

Our prop-firm material is educational. Evaluation fees are generally non-refundable, rules differ between firms and between products from the same firm, and the majority of participants do not pass. Any rule or figure we quote is illustrative — always read the specific terms of the product you are buying.

7. Your responsibility

You alone are responsible for your trading decisions and their consequences. By using this site or our products you accept that neither VolumeTribe nor anyone associated with it is liable for any loss, direct or indirect, arising from your use of our education, software or signals.
