Risk Disclaimer
Last updated: September 4, 2026 | Version 2026-09-04-r5
This Risk Disclaimer is issued by TimeMatrix LLC, is part of the TimeMatrix Terms of Service, and applies to all charts, data, indicators, scripts, calculators, backtests, alerts, watchlists, synthetic portfolios, screeners, heatmaps, options analytics, symbolic research tools, and related outputs.
1. Informational Software, Not Advice
TimeMatrix provides software and research information only. It does not provide personalized financial, investment, trading, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice and does not act as your broker, adviser, portfolio manager, or fiduciary.
Nothing in the Service is a recommendation, solicitation, guarantee, suitability determination, or instruction to buy, sell, hold, or avoid a financial instrument. Consult qualified professionals who understand your circumstances when appropriate.
2. You Can Lose Money
Trading and investing involve substantial risk, including rapid loss of some or all capital. Leverage, margin, short sales, options, futures, derivatives, foreign exchange, thinly traded assets, and crypto assets can create losses greater than an initial amount, forced liquidation, assignment, expiration, or an inability to exit at the expected price.
Do not risk money you cannot afford to lose. You are solely responsible for positions, orders, sizing, liquidity, taxes, and risk controls.
3. Market Data Is Not an Executable Quote
Prices, candles, volume, fundamentals, classifications, corporate actions, news, open interest, and other data may be delayed, end-of-day, stale, partial, adjusted, estimated, corrected, duplicated, interrupted, or unavailable. "Live," "EOD," "Delayed," "Stale," and "As of" labels describe known source status but do not guarantee an executable price or complete market state.
Values can differ among exchanges, crypto venues, brokers, market makers, providers, currencies, sessions, and adjustment methods. Verify material information through an appropriate primary source or regulated intermediary before acting.
4. Charts and Custom Timeframes
A chart is limited by its source history. Custom minute timeframes are aggregated from available smaller bars and cannot recreate periods that the source does not contain. Session boundaries, partial current bars, missing intervals, timezone choices, splits, adjustments, and venue changes can alter candles and indicators.
Visual continuity does not prove data continuity. Always review data status, timeframe construction, and available-history boundaries.
5. Indicators, Scripts, and Calculations
Indicators, drawings, formulas, screeners, heatmaps, rankings, scripts, and calculators may contain assumptions, software defects, stale inputs, look-ahead behavior, parameter errors, or incomplete logic. A technically correct calculation can still be unsuitable for a decision or based on incomplete data.
Alerts and notifications may be late, duplicated, incorrect, or never delivered. Do not use an alert as your only position-monitoring, stop-loss, or risk-management method.
6. Backtests and Hypothetical Results
Hypothetical and simulated results have inherent limitations. They do not represent actual trading, and no representation is made that an account will achieve similar profits or losses. Because trades were not executed, results may understate or overstate the effects of liquidity, spreads, slippage, fees, latency, market impact, and the practical ability to follow a strategy through losses.
Results may also be affected by look-ahead bias, survivorship bias, data revisions, missing symbols, curve fitting, overfitting, repainting, changing regimes, and selected parameters. Past, modeled, or simulated performance does not guarantee future results.
7. Synthetic Portfolio Risk
The TimeMatrix portfolio is a research simulation, not a brokerage or custody account. Values depend on entered quantity, purchase date, purchase price, available market history, and calculation rules. They may omit or simplify fees, taxes, cash, deposits, withdrawals, dividends, splits, corporate actions, FX conversion, lot selection, wash sales, and execution details.
Synthetic gains, losses, weights, and returns are not official account statements or tax records. Reconcile them with your broker, custodian, and tax records.
8. Options and Max Pain Risk
Options can expire worthless and may involve leverage, assignment, exercise, early exercise, volatility, liquidity, spread, settlement, and unlimited-loss risks depending on the position. TimeMatrix does not determine whether options trading is suitable for you.
Max Pain, open-interest walls, Greeks, gamma differentials, and implied-volatility ranges are derived research measures. Max Pain is the candidate settlement price that minimizes modeled aggregate intrinsic-value payout for the included chain; it does not show where institutions are "trying" to move price and does not prove manipulation or predict settlement.
Open interest is generally reported on a delayed or completed-day basis. Missing strikes, adjusted contracts, non-standard deliverables, stale open interest, incorrect multipliers, and settlement rules can materially change options analytics.
9. Crypto-Asset Risk
Crypto markets can trade continuously and can be highly volatile, fragmented, thin, manipulated, or interrupted. Prices differ by venue. Venues can experience outages, forks, delistings, insolvency, custody failures, regulatory changes, or loss of access. A primary-venue chart is not a consolidated global market price.
10. Symbolic and Cycle Research
Astrology-based, numerology-based, Gann-inspired, Square of 9, Hexagon, planetary, longitude-band, geometric, symbolic, and cycle tools are experimental research frameworks. They are not scientific guarantees, financial advice, trading signals, or predictions of future market behavior.
11. Technology and Availability Risk
Software, networks, databases, providers, WebSockets, REST APIs, devices, and internet connections can fail or delay. Saved work can be lost, corrupted, become incompatible, or be removed. Maintain independent records and have a separate method to monitor actual positions and orders.
12. Your Responsibility
You are solely responsible for:
- Understanding each product and market before using it
- Verifying data, calculations, contract details, and market status
- Obtaining independent professional advice where appropriate
- Research, decisions, orders, positions, compliance, and taxes
- Risk limits, account monitoring, and financial outcomes
