1. General Risk Statement
Trading futures contracts on supported markets, including but not limited to equity-index futures, involves substantial financial risk. Leverage, price gaps, volatile markets, margin calls, and adverse execution can produce rapid losses, potentially exceeding the initial investment or available account equity. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
2. Not Financial Advice
FBDBot offers software, analysis, automation, and execution-management tools. Nothing on the website, in the software, or through support constitutes individualized investment, financial, or trading advice or a recommendation to trade a specific instrument. FBD-methodology tools implement user-selectable rules and analysis, while strategy-independent tools may execute or manage user-authorized actions. No trading strategy or configuration is guaranteed to be profitable.
3. Automated Trading Risks
Automated, signal-driven, and locally integrated trading systems carry risks beyond manual order placement, including:
- Technical and connectivity failures: Local software, servers, brokerage connections, NinjaTrader components, network outages, or synchronization failures can result in missing, duplicate, delayed, rejected, or unmanaged orders.
- External sources and incorrect instructions: Indicator, webhook, or third-party signal inputs may be incorrect, delayed, unavailable, duplicated, or unauthorized. Their actions depend on enabled permissions and configuration.
- Execution and order state: Requests, charts, signals, and software displays do not prove that an order was accepted, filled, canceled, or that a position is protected. The connected trading platform and broker execution records control the actual order and position state.
- Market conditions: Slippage, gaps, halts, volatility, partial fills, order rejections, or lack of liquidity can prevent intended results, including execution of stops or profit targets.
- Configuration and feature limits: Trader-selected sizes, stops, targets, trailing rules, account selection, and risk settings can produce unintended outcomes if misunderstood or incorrectly configured. AI-assisted functions, where available, do not eliminate trading risk.
4. No Performance Guarantee
Past results, hypothetical or real, do not guarantee future performance. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to any example, backtest, or prior performance. All trading results discussed are hypothetical unless explicitly stated otherwise with verified brokerage statements.
5. Leverage Risk
Futures contracts are leveraged instruments. Small price movements can create significant gains or losses relative to margin. Margin and liquidation rules differ across contracts, brokers, and account providers, and losses may exceed deposited amounts.
6. Regulatory Risk
Futures trading is regulated by the CFTC and NFA in the United States. Regulations may change. You are responsible for ensuring that your trading activities comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. This software is not registered with any regulatory body as a trading advisor or investment advisor.
7. Technology Dependency
Depending on the licensed product and enabled workflow, use may depend on your computer, running local software (including FBDBot.exe when applicable), NinjaTrader, supported AddOns or indicators, third-party signal sources, network access, hosted services, and a connected brokerage or prop-firm account. A failure in any required component may leave orders unsubmitted, unconfirmed, or positions unmanaged. Always monitor authoritative account state in the connected trading platform and maintain a manual contingency plan.
8. Prop Firm Compliance
If you trade on a proprietary trading firm evaluation or funded account, you are responsible for confirming that your intended use of the Software complies with the firm's current rules for your specific account and program. FBDBot LLC may have compatibility or partnership arrangements with individual firms, but such arrangements are limited to their stated scope and do not guarantee approval of every product, feature, account type, or trading activity. A firm's rules and permissions may change, and violations may result in restrictions or account termination.
9. Your Responsibility
By using FBDBot platform products, you accept full and sole responsibility for all trading decisions and outcomes. You agree that FBDBot, its developers, and operators are not liable for any trading losses, missed opportunities, or other financial outcomes resulting from use of this software.
10. Seek Independent Advice
Before trading futures, you should seek independent financial, legal, and tax advice appropriate to your personal circumstances. Consider whether futures trading is appropriate for you given your financial situation, trading experience, and risk tolerance.
11. Futures Risk Disclosure
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
12. Hypothetical Performance Disclosure
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.
One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
13. Testimonial Disclosure
Testimonials appearing on this website may not be representative of other clients or customers and are not a guarantee of future performance or success.
