Risk Disclosures & Regulatory Notices

1. Futures & Forex 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. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed, illustrated, or shown on this website, in the MindGuard Chrome extension, or in any marketing material.

2. No Investment, Trading, or Financial Advice

MindGuard is a behavioral coaching and trading-psychology tool. Nothing MindGuard displays — including AI-generated messages, alerts, mental-score values, bias indicators, cascade warnings, or coaching content — constitutes investment advice, trading advice, a solicitation to buy or sell any security or derivative, or a recommendation of any trading strategy.

MindGuard is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, futures commission merchant (FCM), introducing broker (IB), commodity trading advisor (CTA), or commodity pool operator (CPO). You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions and for consulting a qualified professional before making any financial decision.

3. CFTC Rule 4.41 — 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 the 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 of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Any charts, figures, scenarios, or before/after comparisons shown on the MindGuard website, extension, dashboard, or marketing materials are illustrative and hypothetical unless explicitly marked as actual customer trading data with supporting records.

4. Testimonials Disclosure

Testimonials appearing on MindGuard properties (website, landing pages, social media, emails) may not be representative of the experience of other clients or users and are not a guarantee of future performance or success. Individual results vary and depend on each trader's discipline, strategy, market conditions, and personal circumstances.

Where testimonials are used, they reflect the honest opinion of the individual quoted at the time the testimonial was given. MindGuard does not pay for testimonials, although users may receive non-cash benefits (such as extended trial access or discounted subscriptions) in exchange for sharing feedback. This will be disclosed alongside the testimonial where applicable.

5. Role of MindGuard — Educational Tool Only

MindGuard is designed to help traders recognize cognitive biases, emotional patterns, and behavioral cascades during trading sessions. Its purpose is psychological awareness, journaling, and post-trade review — not the generation of trading signals or execution of trades. MindGuard does not place, modify, or cancel orders. All trading activity originates from and is executed by the user's broker platform (e.g. Tradovate, NinjaTrader), subject to that broker's own terms and risk disclosures.

6. Third-Party Brokers & Data

MindGuard integrates with third-party trading platforms and data providers. MindGuard does not control, guarantee, or endorse the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or availability of data, pricing, execution, or services provided by those third parties. Trade data displayed in MindGuard is derived from your broker's feed and may be delayed, incomplete, or subject to revision by the broker.

7. Forward-Looking Statements

Any statements on MindGuard properties about product roadmap, future features, expected results, or market outlook are forward-looking and subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual outcomes may differ materially. MindGuard undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

8. Trademark Notice

NinjaTrader® is a registered trademark of NinjaTrader Group, LLC. Tradovate® is a registered trademark of Tradovate, LLC. No NinjaTrader company, Tradovate entity, or any other broker mentioned on this site has any affiliation with the owner, developer, or provider of the products or services described herein, nor any interest, ownership or otherwise, in any such product or service, nor does any such entity endorse, recommend, or approve any MindGuard product or service unless explicitly stated in writing.

9. No Guarantee of Results

MindGuard makes no guarantee or representation that use of the product will result in profitable trading, reduced losses, improved win rate, higher Sharpe ratio, better discipline, or any other specific outcome. Trading results depend on many factors outside of MindGuard's control, including but not limited to market conditions, personal strategy, risk management, execution quality, and emotional state.
