Target Audience

The content, tools, and indicators provided by EdgeTools are exclusively directed at experienced or professional market participants who are capable of independently interpreting financial market data. Use by retail customers without appropriate experience is not intended.

By accessing EdgeTools services, you confirm that you possess sufficient knowledge and experience in financial markets to understand the risks involved in using quantitative trading models.

Risk Warning

Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in trading can work against you as well as for you.

Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. There is a possibility that you may sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

No Investment Advice or Financial Services

EdgeTools trading models, indicators, and related content are provided for educational and informational purposes only. They do not constitute investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice.

We do not recommend that any particular trading model or indicator should be bought, sold, or held by you. You should conduct your own research and consult with qualified financial advisors before making any investment decisions.

Regulatory Distinction: EdgeTools does not provide asset management, investment advisory services, portfolio analysis, creation of personalized investment recommendations, or any form of financial intermediation within the meaning of Swiss FIDLEG/FINIG. Our tools are analytical instruments for experienced market participants, not regulated financial services.

Quantitative Model Risks

Quantitative trading models carry specific risks that users must understand:

  • Market Regime Failure: Models may fail or produce incorrect signals in certain market conditions, particularly during unprecedented events or structural market changes
  • Data Quality Issues: Data errors, delays, or inaccuracies can distort model signals and lead to incorrect trading decisions
  • Backtesting Limitations: Historical backtests do not guarantee future performance. Past results may not be representative of future outcomes
  • Overfitting Risk: Models optimized for historical data may not perform well on unseen data or future market conditions
  • Data Revision Risk: Signal changes due to data revisions or corrections can occur without warning
  • Model Degradation: Model effectiveness may deteriorate over time as market dynamics evolve
  • Execution Risk: Theoretical model signals may not be achievable in practice due to slippage, liquidity constraints, or market impact

Model Limitations

All trading models and indicators are based on historical data and statistical analysis. Market conditions can change rapidly, and models that have performed well in the past may not perform well in the future.

No trading model or indicator can guarantee profits or prevent losses. Markets are inherently unpredictable, and unexpected events can cause significant price movements that may not be captured by any model.

Users should understand the methodology and limitations of each model before incorporating them into their trading strategies.
