Forward Edge Futures Risk Disclosures

1. Forward Edge Futures Is Software, Not Account Management

Forward Edge Futures provides broker connectivity, automation controls, dashboard reporting, and operational support for self-directed trading accounts. We do not take custody of your funds, hold margin on your behalf, or assume responsibility for your trading decisions. Your brokerage assets remain with your broker, and you remain responsible for the account at all times.

2. Futures Trading Risk

Futures contracts are leveraged products. Small market moves can create large gains or large losses. The strategy is built with a defined daily stop-loss approach intended to limit loss on a trading day, but market conditions, liquidity, and execution quality can still materially affect results. Depending on your account structure, margin rules, contract size, and market conditions, you may still face liquidation, auto-liquidation, or account restriction by your broker.

• Rapid price movement can cause losses before you can react manually.
• Gap moves, low liquidity, or thin order books may worsen execution quality.
• Commissions, fees, financing, and slippage can materially affect results.
• Past performance, screenshots, examples, simulations, or historical dashboards do not predict future results.

3. Automation Can Help Execution, Not Remove Risk

Automation follows a rules-based structure with built-in daily stop-loss management intended to keep losses defined under normal operating conditions. It does not eliminate trading risk, and in some cases it can increase speed of execution, increase exposure, or magnify the effect of a setup mistake or platform issue.

• Orders may be placed faster than you can manually review them.
• Incorrect account selection, contract sizing, or mode selection can produce unintended trades.
• Protective logic can fail, be delayed, or be unavailable when external services fail.
• Repeated alerts, stale signals, or unexpected platform states can result in missed trades or unintended duplicate activity.

4. Technology, Connectivity, and Integration Risk

Forward Edge Futures depends on third-party technology, including broker APIs, authentication systems, cloud infrastructure, internet connectivity, signal sources, and your local device or browser session. Any of these may fail or change without notice.

• Broker outages, maintenance windows, API changes, token expiration, or permission changes may interrupt connections.
• Orders may be delayed, rejected, partially filled, canceled, or executed at a worse price than expected.
• Dashboard balances, positions, and P&L views may lag or temporarily differ from broker records.
• Software defects, browser issues, hosting failures, webhook interruptions, or data discrepancies can affect what the platform shows or does.

5. Live, Demo, and Simulated Environments

Demo, paper, or simulated environments can be useful for testing, but they do not fully reproduce live-market conditions. Execution quality, liquidity, slippage, permissions, rate limits, and account behavior can differ materially between demo and live accounts. A setup that appears stable in demo may still behave differently in live trading.

6. Third-Party Broker and Signal Dependency Risk

If you use Forward Edge Futures with Tradovate or another supported integration, your experience depends on that provider’s systems, rules, and permissions. If you use alerts or signals from another source, those signals may be delayed, malformed, missing, duplicated, or not appropriate for the connected account.

• Forward Edge Futures cannot control broker-side fills, routing decisions, exchange conditions, or platform downtime.
• Forward Edge Futures cannot guarantee that a third-party alert source matches your intended account, symbol, or risk settings.
• Your broker’s records remain the authoritative source for account balances, positions, and completed transactions.

7. No Promise of Suitability or Profitability

Forward Edge Futures does not represent that the platform is suitable for your financial condition, experience level, risk tolerance, or objectives. We do not guarantee that the software will improve results or produce profits, and past performance does not guarantee future results. The strategy includes built-in stop-loss and daily risk controls, but no feature, safeguard, or status indicator should be treated as a promise that losses cannot exceed expectations in every circumstance.

8. What You Are Responsible For

You are responsible for deciding whether and how to trade. That includes deciding whether to connect a live account, whether to rely on automation, and whether the built-in daily stop-loss structure fits your own situation, account size, and risk tolerance.

• Test new setups carefully before live use.
• Verify the connected account, contract size, and automation status before each session.
• Monitor your broker account and know how to disable automation or flatten positions through your broker if needed.
• Use only risk capital you can afford to lose.
• Consult licensed financial, legal, or tax professionals if you need personal advice.

9. Reporting and Dashboard Limitations

Performance summaries, charts, signal logs, account metrics, and exported platform reports are provided for operational visibility and convenience. They may be delayed, estimated, incomplete, or unavailable. They are not official broker statements or tax forms and should not be treated as your sole books and records for tax, accounting, or compliance purposes. For tax filing, rely on your broker's official statements and forms and use platform exports only as supplemental records.

10. Your Acknowledgment

By using Forward Edge Futures, applying for access, or connecting a broker account, you acknowledge that you have read these disclosures, understand that the service provides software for self-directed futures trading, and accept the risks associated with futures trading, broker connectivity, and automation.
