Trading and Automation Risk Disclosure

Last updated: July 29, 2026

1. Substantial risk of loss

Trading stocks, options, futures, prediction-market contracts, and other instruments involves substantial risk. You may lose some or all of the amount invested. Depending on the instrument and strategy, losses may exceed the initial amount deposited. Options can expire worthless, lose the entire premium, move rapidly, and in some structures create losses beyond the premium.

2. Current public execution scope

The current public SignalVortex customer build supports Tradier PAPER routing for supported options and spreads, a local Robinhood Browser beta route for user-configured RSA and Microcap stock strategies, and a local Poly Trade route that lets you connect your own Polymarket account (international wallet or Polymarket US API credentials) to research prediction markets and preview and place orders. SignalVortex never takes custody of funds, private keys, or API credentials beyond your local encrypted store; Poly Trade positions can expire worthless and are subject to Polymarket's own venue, custody, and settlement risk, which SignalVortex does not control. Live brokerage routing and customer futures, equities, and crypto execution beyond what is described here are not currently available. References to those markets may describe general content, research, locked controls, or roadmap modules rather than executable customer features.

3. User-configured automation risk

Automation can act faster than manual trading and can repeat a mistake. Risks include incorrect source selection, incorrect strategy settings, sizing errors, stale or malformed messages, parsing errors, duplicate or missed messages, latency, software defects, operating-system failures, update failures, and unexpected interaction between settings.

4. Source, parsing, and message risk

Discord messages and other source material may be incomplete, edited, deleted, delayed, ambiguous, fraudulent, or inconsistent. A parser may misunderstand a ticker, expiration, strike, call or put, side, price, quantity, trim, exit, or spread structure. “Approved” means only that configured software rules passed; it does not mean the trade is suitable, correct, or profitable.

5. Order and execution risk

A detected alert, displayed quote, validation result, preview, or submitted order does not guarantee a fill. Orders may be rejected, duplicated, partially filled, filled at a different price, remain open, be canceled late, or fail to cancel. Broker records control. Users must independently monitor orders and positions through the broker.

6. Risk controls are not guarantees

Position limits, slippage controls, duplicate detection, stop logic, trailing logic, correlation filters, emergency pause, and other safeguards can reduce certain risks but cannot eliminate loss or guarantee correct behavior. Market gaps, halts, illiquidity, stale data, broker outages, and software failure can prevent a control from working as intended.

7. PAPER and hypothetical results

PAPER fills, simulations, backtests, theoretical estimates, and hypothetical results may not reflect real liquidity, slippage, fees, assignment, exercise, margin, routing, queue priority, or market impact. PAPER success does not predict live results. Past performance, creator results, provider statistics, or historical win rates do not guarantee future performance.

8. Market-data and third-party risk

Quotes, Greeks, volume, open interest, corporate-action details, broker balances, Discord status, and other third-party data may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable. SignalVortex cannot control third-party outages, policy changes, authentication requirements, rate limits, or service termination.

9. Microcap, reverse-split, and corporate-action risk

Microcap securities may have limited public information, low liquidity, wide spreads, sharp price moves, promotional activity, delisting risk, and a greater risk of fraud. Reverse-split and corporate-action outcomes depend on issuer terms, broker treatment, settlement, fractional-share policies, cash-in-lieu treatment, eligibility, fees, and timing. Any displayed round-up value, return, or opportunity estimate is theoretical until independently confirmed with the issuer and broker.

10. Creator trade logs and conflicts

Creator trade logs may describe positions currently or previously held by SignalVortex personnel. Those positions may be entered, modified, reduced, or closed at any time, including before or after publication. SignalVortex personnel may benefit from price movement, membership revenue, referrals, or other disclosed relationships. A creator’s action is not a recommendation for another person.

11. General and impersonal information

Signals, analytics, provider analysis, market intelligence, and creator trade logs are general and impersonal. They are not tailored to your account, finances, objectives, or risk tolerance. You are solely responsible for deciding whether a source, strategy, or transaction is appropriate.

12. User oversight and emergency action

SignalVortex should not be treated as an unattended guarantee against loss. Keep direct access to Discord and your broker, watch orders and positions, and know how to stop or manage activity without SignalVortex. Technical support is not an emergency trading service and cannot close positions for you.

13. Use only risk capital

Do not trade money needed for living expenses, emergencies, debt obligations, taxes, or other essential purposes. Consider your experience, financial resources, objectives, and risk tolerance and consult qualified professionals when appropriate.
