Risk Disclosure

Last Updated: April 4, 2026

1. General Futures Trading Risks

Futures trading carries inherent risks that can result in significant financial losses. The Nasdaq 100 E-mini (NQ) futures contract is a leveraged derivative product that exposes traders to volatility in the technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 index. Key risks include:

• The possibility of losing your entire account balance in a single trading session
• Losses that may exceed your initial deposit or margin requirement
• Rapid and unpredictable price movements caused by economic data releases, geopolitical events, corporate earnings, and other market catalysts
• Market gaps where prices jump significantly between sessions, bypassing stop-loss orders
• Periods of extreme illiquidity where orders may not be filled at expected prices

2. Leverage Risk

Futures contracts are highly leveraged instruments. A single NQ E-mini contract controls a notional value that is many multiples of the required margin deposit. While leverage can amplify profits, it equally amplifies losses. A small adverse price movement can result in losses that are disproportionately large relative to your margin. You may be required to deposit additional funds (margin calls) on short notice to maintain your positions, and failure to meet margin calls may result in forced liquidation of your positions at unfavorable prices.

3. No Guarantee of Profits

There is no guarantee that the use of The Jade Ninja's alerts will result in profits or prevent losses. Our algorithmic engine generates trade signals based on technical analysis, market structure, and confluence scoring. However:

• No algorithm, strategy, or trading system can guarantee profits
• Profitable periods may be followed by extended drawdowns
• Market conditions may change in ways that reduce the effectiveness of any strategy
• Individual results will vary based on execution timing, slippage, broker fees, and personal risk management

4. Past Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual trading records, simulated results do not represent real trades. Because simulated trades are not actually executed, results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact of certain market factors such as slippage, liquidity, and fees. Simulated trading programs are generally designed with the benefit of hindsight.

5. Not Financial Advice

The Jade Ninja does not provide financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, or legal advice. Our Service delivers algorithmic trading alerts for informational and educational purposes only. The alerts are not personalized recommendations and do not take into account your individual financial situation, risk tolerance, investment objectives, or experience level.

You should:

1. Consult a qualified, licensed financial advisor before making any trading or investment decisions
2. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely
3. Conduct your own research and due diligence before acting on any alert
4. Understand the products you are trading and the risks involved

6. Suitability

Futures trading is not appropriate for everyone. Before trading NQ futures, you should carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your:

• Financial situation: Can you afford to sustain total loss of the funds you commit to trading?
• Experience: Do you understand how futures markets, margin, and leverage work?
• Risk tolerance: Can you withstand significant account drawdowns without making impulsive decisions?
• Time commitment: Are you able to actively monitor your positions and respond to market conditions?
• Emotional readiness: Can you handle the psychological stress of financial losses?

If you are unsure whether futures trading is suitable for you, seek professional financial advice before subscribing to or acting on our alerts.

7. Emotional and Psychological Risks

Trading can have significant emotional and psychological impacts. Common challenges include:

• Fear and greed: Emotional decision-making can lead to premature exits, over-leveraging, or revenge trading after losses
• Overconfidence: A streak of winning trades may lead to excessive risk-taking and abandonment of sound risk management
• Loss aversion: The reluctance to realize losses can cause traders to hold losing positions far longer than their trading plan dictates
• Addiction: The fast-paced nature of futures trading can become psychologically addictive, leading to compulsive trading behavior
• Stress and anxiety: Financial uncertainty and market volatility can cause significant stress that affects your daily life, relationships, and health

If you experience any of these symptoms, consider stepping back from trading and seeking professional support.

8. Technology and Execution Risks

The delivery of alerts and execution of trades are subject to technology risks, including:

• Delivery delays: Telegram messages, internet connectivity, or mobile notifications may be delayed, causing you to miss optimal entry or exit points
• System failures: Our algorithmic engine, servers, or third-party infrastructure (including Telegram) may experience downtime or errors
• Execution risk: The price at which you execute a trade may differ from the alert price due to slippage, latency, or market volatility
• Broker issues: Your broker's platform may experience outages, reject orders, or impose restrictions during volatile market conditions
• Data inaccuracies: Market data feeds may contain errors or delays that affect alert generation

The Jade Ninja is not responsible for losses arising from technology failures, delivery delays, or execution discrepancies.

9. Regulatory and Market Risks

Futures markets are subject to regulatory oversight and may be impacted by:

• Changes in margin requirements by exchanges or regulators
• Trading halts, circuit breakers, or exchange-imposed restrictions
• Regulatory changes that affect futures trading rules or tax treatment
• Broker insolvency or failure to segregate customer funds

10. Third-Party Risks

The Jade Ninja relies on third-party services (including Telegram for alert delivery, data providers for market information, and payment processors for billing). We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their performance, security, or availability. Any disruption to these services may affect your ability to receive and act on alerts.

11. Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your trading decisions. By using The Jade Ninja, you acknowledge and accept that:

1. All trading decisions are yours alone, regardless of any alerts received
2. You will implement your own risk management, including appropriate position sizing and stop-loss placement
3. You will not risk more capital than you can afford to lose
4. You have read and understood these risks before using the Service
5. You will not hold The Jade Ninja liable for any trading losses
