Pirate Traders Risk Disclosure Statement

Read this before you buy from us or act on anything we publish. It is short on purpose.

1. Trading futures can cost you everything you put in, and more

Futures and other leveraged instruments carry substantial risk. Leverage works both ways: small market moves can produce losses larger than your initial deposit. You are responsible for every trade you place and every dollar you lose. Only risk capital, money you can afford to lose without changing your life, should ever be traded. If losing your trading account would harm your financial security, do not trade.

2. We are educators, not advisers

Everything we publish, teach, and host, including emails, live streams, videos, courses, workshops, mentorship conversations, and community discussions, is general information and education about markets and trading. It does not know you, your account, your risk tolerance, or your situation. Nothing in it is investment advice, trading advice, a recommendation, or a signal, and none of it is tailored to you. When we discuss trades, levels, or scenarios, including anything phrased as what we would do, we are illustrating a way of thinking about markets, not telling you what to do. Pirate Traders Inc. is not registered as an investment adviser or commodity trading advisor with any federal or state authority. If you need advice, consult a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.

3. Examples and past results describe the past, not the future

Any levels, scenarios, base rates, or results we show, whether real or hypothetical, are descriptions of what happened before. Hypothetical and historical results have inherent limitations: they do not represent actual trading, they are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, and they do not reflect real conditions such as slippage, fees, and liquidity. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown. Past performance, real or hypothetical, is not indicative of future results. A pattern that held before can fail immediately after you act on it.

4. You are responsible for your own decisions

You alone are responsible for your trading decisions and their outcomes. Keep your protective orders with your broker, verify important levels independently, and never rely on any single source to manage the risk of an open position. Pirate Traders Inc. and its officers bear no responsibility for your trading results.

5. You accept this by using our Services

By using our Services or buying from us, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this statement, that you assume all risk of your trading decisions and results, and that this is further described in our Terms of Service.
