Risk disclosure

Trading Risk Disclosure

Trading involves substantial risk. You can lose money. You can lose more money than you expect. You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

CustomChartTrader is software for NinjaTrader 8. It is not a broker, exchange, futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading adviser, investment adviser, financial adviser, managed account service, or trading signal service.

This disclosure does not replace the risk disclosures, account agreements, margin disclosures, platform terms, or trading permissions provided by your broker, exchange, clearing firm, prop firm, data provider, or NinjaTrader.

1. Futures and Leveraged Trading Risk

Futures, options, forex, CFDs, crypto, leveraged products, and margin trading can involve a high degree of risk.

Depending on the market, instrument, leverage, margin rules, account type, broker, exchange, and volatility, you may lose all funds deposited for trading, lose more than your initial deposit, receive margin calls, be liquidated by your broker, or be unable to exit a position at the expected price.

  • Slippage
  • Partial fills
  • Rejected orders
  • Widened spreads
  • Locked markets
  • Limit moves or halts
  • Platform, broker, data, or internet outages
  • Commissions, exchange fees, data fees, routing fees, liquidation fees, or other costs

2. Software Does Not Remove Trading Risk

CustomChartTrader may help with workflow tasks such as position sizing, risk/reward preview, stop/target planning, and chart-side order controls.

Software features do not eliminate risk. A position-sizing calculator, preview line, stop order, target order, bracket plan, break-even button, close-partial button, flatten button, or cancel button can still be misused, delayed, rejected, misconfigured, or affected by market conditions.

Stops are not guaranteed to fill at the stop price. Targets are not guaranteed to fill. Market orders can slip. Limit orders may not fill. Stop-market orders may fill far from the stop trigger in fast markets. Stop-limit orders may not fill at all.

3. User Responsibility

  • Choosing whether to trade
  • Choosing live or simulation mode
  • Selecting the correct account and instrument
  • Choosing order type, quantity, stop, target, and prices
  • Checking tick value and contract specifications
  • Understanding broker, exchange, and prop firm rules
  • Monitoring all positions and orders
  • Verifying that orders are accepted, working, filled, rejected, cancelled, or modified as expected

4. Simulation First

You should test CustomChartTrader in NinjaTrader simulation mode before using it with live capital.

Simulation results may differ from live results. Simulated fills, latency, slippage, liquidity, queue priority, broker behavior, and emotional pressure may not match live trading.

Testing in simulation can reduce user error, but it cannot guarantee live performance.

5. No Profit Promise

CustomChartTrader does not promise profitable trades, increased win rate, reduced drawdown, improved trader discipline, prop firm payouts, broker acceptance of orders, better fills, loss prevention, market prediction, or successful use with any specific strategy.

Any screenshots, examples, demo values, R:R previews, documentation, videos, or website copy are for product explanation only. They are not performance claims.

6. Technical and Platform Risk

Trading software can fail or behave unexpectedly because of user error, incorrect settings, platform updates, strategy state changes, broker connection issues, data-feed issues, market-data lag, internet outage, Windows or hardware problems, NinjaTrader configuration problems, third-party add-on conflicts, exchange or broker outages, activation server problems, or software bugs.

You should maintain independent awareness of your positions and orders through NinjaTrader, your broker, or other reliable account tools.

7. No Broker or Regulatory Approval

CustomChartTrader is not approved by your broker, exchange, regulator, prop firm, or NinjaTrader unless expressly stated in writing by that third party.

You are responsible for confirming that your use of CustomChartTrader is allowed under your broker's rules, exchange rules, prop firm rules, platform license, and local law.

8. Market Data and Calculation Risk

Any calculation shown by the software depends on inputs, settings, instrument metadata, tick size, point value, account data, and platform data.

Incorrect tick size, point value, stop distance, account selection, price, quantity, or market data can produce incorrect risk or order planning information. You must verify all calculations before trading.

9. Prop Firm and Evaluation Account Risk

If you use CustomChartTrader in a prop firm, funded trader, evaluation, or challenge account, you are responsible for understanding that firm's rules.

The software does not guarantee compliance with daily loss limits, trailing drawdown, max position size, consistency rules, news rules, copy-trading rules, automated trading rules, scaling plans, account-reset rules, platform restrictions, or add-on restrictions.

10. Final Reminder

Do not trade live unless you understand the product, the platform, the market, the instrument, the account, and the risk.

You alone are responsible for your trading decisions and results.
