Trading & AI Risk Disclaimer

1. Nature of Trade Optic

Trade Optic is designed to provide trading journaling, analytical, informational and educational software.

Trade Optic is not represented as a broker, investment manager or financial adviser.

2. No Financial Advice

Nothing provided through Trade Optic should automatically be treated as an instruction or recommendation to:

• Buy a particular investment;
• Sell a particular investment;
• Hold a particular investment;
• Enter a particular trade;
• Exit a particular trade;
• Increase or reduce a position;
• Use a particular trading strategy; or
• Take a particular level of financial risk.

You remain responsible for your own trading and investment decisions.

Where appropriate, you should seek advice from a suitably qualified professional.

3. Regulatory Status

Trade Optic is not represented as being authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") as a broker, investment manager or financial adviser.

Trade Optic's current functionality is intended to provide user-directed journaling, analytics, information and educational tools rather than regulated investment advice.

The regulatory classification of functionality depends upon what that functionality actually does and applicable law, not merely how it is described in this Disclaimer.

If Trade Optic introduces functionality that materially changes the nature of the service, applicable regulatory requirements will be assessed before that functionality is offered.

4. Trading and Investment Risk

Trading and investing involve substantial financial risk.

You may lose some or all of the money you commit to trading or investing.

Markets can move rapidly and unpredictably.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Historical:

• Trading performance;
• Patterns;
• Win rates;
• Strategies;
• Risk-to-reward ratios;
• Statistics; and
• Other information

should not be interpreted as guarantees of future performance.

5. Artificial Intelligence

Trade Optic may use artificial intelligence to:

• Analyse information;
• Answer questions;
• Review charts;
• Review screenshots;
• Identify patterns;
• Generate summaries;
• Generate reports; and
• Provide personalised analytical observations.

AI-generated outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or misleading.

Artificial intelligence may:

• Misinterpret a chart;
• Misidentify a trading pattern;
• Misunderstand information;
• Produce incorrect calculations;
• Make inaccurate assumptions;
• Omit relevant information;
• Fail to consider relevant market information; or
• Generate information that appears reliable but is incorrect.

You should not rely solely on AI-generated information when making trading or financial decisions.

Always independently review and verify information before acting upon it.

6. Pattern Analysis

Trade Optic may analyse historical information to identify recurring patterns, behaviours or statistical relationships.

These may relate to:

• Trading sessions;
• Strategies;
• Markets;
• Risk;
• Trade duration;
• Confidence;
• Emotions;
• Historical profitability;
• Win rate;
• Risk-to-reward;
• Entry or exit behaviour; and
• Other trading characteristics.

A pattern identified in historical information does not mean that the same outcome will occur in future.

Market conditions change and historical relationships may cease to apply.

7. Personal Trading DNA

Trade Optic may generate personalised traits, classifications or observations based on information associated with your account.

These features are intended to help you understand your historical trading behaviour.

They are not:

• Professional psychological assessments;
• Financial advice;
• Trading signals;
• Investment recommendations;
• Guarantees of future behaviour; or
• Guarantees of future performance.

8. Charts, Screenshots and Image Analysis

Trade Optic may allow users to submit charts, screenshots or other images for analysis.

Automated systems may incorrectly identify:

• Prices;
• Timeframes;
• Indicators;
• Chart patterns;
• Candlesticks;
• Trading symbols;
• Market structure; or
• Other information contained in an image.

You are responsible for checking the accuracy of generated analysis.

Trade Optic may display or analyse:

• Markets;
• Economic events;

• Synchronisation problems; or
• Changes made by third-party providers.

Unless Trade Optic expressly introduces a separate service stating otherwise and addresses applicable regulatory requirements, Trade Optic does not:

• Place trades on your behalf;
• Control your brokerage account;
• Manage your investments;
• Move money within your brokerage account; or
