1. Not Financial Advice
QWQ is a technology platform that provides automated trading tools, market data, alerts, and educational content. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, or any other form of professional advice.
All trade ideas, scanner results, AI coaching responses, newsletter content, and alerts are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They should not be interpreted as recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any security.
You should always:
- Conduct your own research before making any investment decision.
- Consult with a licensed financial advisor, tax professional, or attorney as appropriate.
- Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
- Understand the specific risks of options trading before participating.
2. Past Performance
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any historical returns, win rates, or performance metrics displayed on the platform, in marketing materials, or in newsletters:
- Represent historical data only and do not guarantee future performance.
- May include hypothetical or backtested results that were not achieved through live trading.
- Do not account for all possible market conditions, including extreme volatility events.
- May not include trading costs, commissions, slippage, or taxes.
Market conditions change. Strategies that performed well in the past may underperform or lose money in the future.
3. Options Trading Risk
Options trading carries inherent and substantial risks that you must understand before using this platform:
- Total loss of premium: Purchased options can expire worthless, resulting in a 100% loss of the premium paid.
- Unlimited loss potential: Certain options strategies, including uncovered (naked) positions, can result in losses that significantly exceed your initial investment.
- Assignment risk: Short options positions may be assigned at any time, requiring you to buy or sell the underlying security at the strike price.
- Leverage amplification: Options provide leveraged exposure, meaning small market movements can result in large percentage gains or losses.
- Time decay: Options lose value as they approach expiration, which can erode positions even if the underlying security moves in your favor.
- Liquidity risk: Some options contracts may have wide bid-ask spreads or low volume, making it difficult to enter or exit positions at desired prices.
- Gap risk: Securities can gap significantly between trading sessions due to earnings, news, or global events.
4. Automated Trading Risk
The QWQ platform offers automated trading features that execute trades in your brokerage account. By using these features, you acknowledge the following additional risks:
- System failures: Software bugs, server outages, or network disruptions may prevent orders from being placed, modified, or cancelled.
- API disruptions: Brokerage API connections may be interrupted, delayed, or rate-limited, affecting trade execution.
- Execution differences: Actual fills may differ from expected prices due to market conditions, latency, or partial fills.
- Algorithm limitations: No algorithm can predict market movements with certainty. Our strategies are based on historical patterns that may not repeat.
- Cascading errors: A single error in automated logic could potentially result in multiple incorrect trades before detection.
- No human oversight: Automated systems operate without real-time human judgment unless you actively monitor your account.
You are solely responsible for monitoring your account at all times. We strongly recommend setting account-level risk limits with your brokerage.
5. Individual Responsibility
By using QWQ, you acknowledge and agree that:
- All trading decisions, whether manual or automated, are your sole responsibility.
- You have sufficient knowledge, experience, and financial resources to understand and bear the risks of options trading.
- You have read and understand your brokerage firm's options risk disclosure documents.
- You will not hold QWQ, its founders, employees, affiliates, or partners liable for any trading losses.
- You are responsible for all tax obligations arising from your trading activity.
- You will use the platform in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
6. Educational Purpose
The primary purpose of QWQ is to provide educational tools and automated execution infrastructure for experienced traders. Our platform is designed to:
- Demonstrate systematic approaches to options trading.
- Provide market data and analysis tools for informed decision-making.
- Automate the mechanical aspects of pre-defined trading strategies.
- Offer AI-powered coaching for learning purposes.
This platform is not suitable for individuals who cannot afford to lose their entire investment, who lack understanding of options mechanics, or who expect guaranteed profits.
