ETTFOS teaches people to trade with discipline, and discipline starts with understanding risk. Please read this page before you use our website, book a briefing or join a program. By doing any of these, you confirm that you have read it, understood it and accept it.
01 Education, not advice
ETTFOS provides trading education. Our programs, briefings, mentoring, materials, tools and this website (together, our “education”) are for educational and informational purposes only.
Nothing in our education is investment, financial, tax, accounting or legal advice, or a recommendation, offer or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any security, future, option, currency, commodity, virtual asset or other investment. Any example of a market, an instrument or a trade is there to illustrate a method, not to recommend it.
ETTFOS is not a broker, a dealer, an investment adviser, a commodity trading adviser, a portfolio manager or a financial planner. It does not manage accounts, does not trade for anyone and does not hold or manage clients’ trading funds.
A strategy briefing, a mentoring session or an answer in class is part of your education. It is general in nature and does not take account of your personal objectives, financial situation or needs, even when we talk about your goals to shape what we teach you.
02 Trading carries risk
Trading and investing in stocks, futures, options, forex, commodities and virtual assets carries risk. Prices can move quickly and against you, and you can lose some or all of the money you trade with. With leverage, margin and some option strategies, losses can be larger than the money you first put in.
Leverage works against you as well as for you: a small move in the market can bring a large loss as well as a large gain.
Only trade with money you can afford to lose, and think carefully about whether trading suits you, in light of your experience, your objectives and your financial situation.
03 Your decisions are your own
You alone decide whether, when and how to trade, which broker or platform to use and how much to put at risk. You are responsible for those decisions and for their results, gains and losses alike.
Before you trade or invest, do your own research and, where appropriate, ask a licensed professional who knows your circumstances for advice.
To the fullest extent the law allows, ETTFOS, Advanced Systems USA Inc, Advanced Systems FZ-LLC and their owners, directors, staff, instructors and partners are not responsible for any trading or investment loss, or any loss of profit or opportunity, that you suffer from using our education.
04 No promise of results
No method, technique, strategy, indicator or system is certain to make money or to avoid losses, and ours are no exception. What you achieve depends on many things outside our control, including the markets, your capital, your discipline, the time you give and the decisions you make.
Past performance, whether of a market, a strategy, an instructor or a student, is not a reliable guide to future results.
Testimonials, alumni letters and success stories describe the experience of the people who share them. Experiences vary, and none of them is a promise or a prediction of what you will achieve.
05 Examples, illustrations and calculators
Charts, examples, scenarios, figures and calculators on this website and in our programs, such as the calculator on the ETTFOS Quantum Leap page, are illustrations. A calculator works only with the figures you enter or choose: its results are arithmetic, not a forecast, an expected return or a promise of any return.
Market figures and historical data come from sources we believe to be reliable, but they may be rounded, delayed or incomplete, and we do not guarantee them.
06 Hypothetical or simulated results
Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.
Practice and paper trading differ from live trading in the same way: they carry no financial risk, so they cannot show how you will act when real money is at stake.
07 Particular markets
- Futures and options are complex. Futures are traded on margin, so losses can exceed your deposit. Options can expire worthless, and some option strategies, such as selling uncovered options, carry losses that are in theory unlimited.
- Forex is usually traded with leverage and can move with interest rates, politics and liquidity. Many forex products are traded over the counter, with the risk that the other party does not meet its obligations, and with less regulatory protection in some places.
- Share prices can fall sharply, or to nothing if a company fails, and commodity prices can swing with weather, supply and world events.
- Virtual assets may lose their value in part or in full, and are subject to extreme volatility at times. You can lose all the money you invest, and you do not benefit from any form of financial protection.
08 Brokers, platforms and other services
If you open an account with a broker, an exchange or a platform, or use any tool, data feed or service, that relationship is between you and its provider, on its terms. A mention of any provider in our education is not a recommendation or an endorsement, and ETTFOS is not responsible for any provider’s services, fees, conduct or failure.
The names, products and trademarks of other companies belong to their owners. Their mention does not mean that they endorse ETTFOS, or that ETTFOS endorses them.
09 Accuracy and changes
We work to keep our education accurate and current, but markets, rules and products change. Our education is provided “as is”, without any warranty that it is complete, accurate, current or suitable for you, and it may change without notice.
10 Where you live
Some products, markets and strategies are not available, or not suitable, for residents of some countries. You are responsible for following the laws, rules and tax obligations that apply to you where you live and trade. If any part of this page cannot apply to you under the law of your country, the rest still applies.
