Compliance

1. Compliance overview

This Compliance page explains important risk disclosures, platform limitations, and user responsibilities for ScanTrader. It is meant to help users understand what ScanTrader is, what it is not, and how to use the service responsibly.

ScanTrader provides educational chart analysis tools. It does not provide brokerage services, execute trades, manage money, custody assets, or act as a financial adviser.

2. Educational and informational use only

All ScanTrader outputs are for educational and informational purposes only. The platform may help explain what a chart could be showing, where risk may exist, and how a possible setup may be structured.

ScanTrader should be treated as a research assistant, not as a financial professional. You should use your own judgment and consult qualified professionals before making financial decisions.

3. Not an adviser, broker, or signal service

ScanTrader is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, exchange, market maker, money manager, research firm, or signal provider.

ScanTrader does not provide personalized investment advice, execute orders, route orders, hold customer funds, manage portfolios, recommend securities based on your personal financial situation, or guarantee trading outcomes.

Any examples, setups, outputs, targets, stop losses, or options-style ideas are software-generated educational information and should not be interpreted as instructions to buy, sell, hold, short, hedge, or trade any financial instrument.

4. Market risk disclosure

Trading and investing involve risk. Stocks, options, ETFs, futures, crypto, and other financial products can move quickly and unpredictably. You can lose money, including your entire investment.

Past performance, backtested examples, historical patterns, or model-generated analysis do not guarantee future results. A setup that looked strong in the past can fail in live market conditions.

• Markets can gap up or down without warning.
• Stop losses may not execute at expected prices.
• Volatility can increase quickly.
• Liquidity can disappear.
• News, earnings, economic reports, analyst changes, and macro events can invalidate chart setups.
• Chart screenshots may omit important information.
• Options can expire worthless.

5. Options risk disclosure

Options are complex and risky. If ScanTrader displays options-style context, it is for educational purposes only. Options can lose value quickly due to price movement, time decay, volatility changes, spreads, liquidity, assignment risk, and expiration.

You should not trade options unless you understand how options work, including calls, puts, strike prices, expiration, implied volatility, bid/ask spreads, assignment, exercise, and the possibility of total loss.

Before trading options, review official options risk disclosures from your broker and qualified educational sources.

6. AI and analysis limitations

ScanTrader may use automated systems, trained models, technical indicators, chart recognition, and other software methods. These systems can be useful, but they are not perfect.

The platform may misread a chart, miss a level, fail to detect the correct ticker, misunderstand timeframe, overlook news, ignore liquidity, provide stale context, or generate analysis that does not match your trading plan.

AI outputs should always be reviewed, verified, and compared against your own research before you make any decision.

7. No profit guarantees

ScanTrader does not guarantee profits, returns, win rates, accuracy, risk reduction, or market success. Any marketing, examples, screenshots, or demonstrations are illustrative and should not be treated as promises.

Even if an analysis appears confident, the market can move against the setup. The responsibility for every trade remains with the user.

8. User responsibility

You are responsible for deciding whether ScanTrader is appropriate for your goals, experience, risk tolerance, financial situation, and jurisdiction.

You are also responsible for independently verifying analysis, using proper risk management, understanding order types, checking live prices, and making sure any action you take is allowed by your broker and local laws.

• Do your own research before trading.
• Check current price, spread, volume, news, earnings, and broader market conditions.
• Use position sizing that matches your risk tolerance.
• Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
• Do not rely on ScanTrader as your only source of information.

9. Screenshot and input quality

ScanTrader’s analysis depends heavily on the quality and completeness of the information provided. A blurry, cropped, outdated, or incomplete screenshot may produce lower-quality results.

For best results, chart screenshots should clearly show the ticker, timeframe, candles, current price area, major levels, and enough chart history to understand context.

If the screenshot leaves out important information, the output may be incomplete or incorrect.

10. Compliance with laws

You are responsible for complying with all laws, rules, regulations, exchange policies, broker terms, tax obligations, and account restrictions that apply to your use of ScanTrader and any trading activity.

ScanTrader is not responsible for determining whether a trade, strategy, account type, tax treatment, or financial product is legal, suitable, or available in your jurisdiction.

11. Marketing and performance disclosures

Any examples, testimonials, simulated scans, demo trades, hypothetical scenarios, or performance-related content are for illustration only. They may not reflect real trading results and should not be considered typical, expected, or guaranteed.

If we reference historical patterns, backtests, or model performance, those references are not promises that the same result will happen in live markets. Real-world execution can differ because of slippage, liquidity, spreads, commissions, delays, volatility, and user behavior.

12. Support does not provide financial advice

ScanTrader support may help with account access, bugs, billing, scan issues, or product questions. Support cannot tell you whether to buy, sell, hold, short, size, hedge, or enter a specific trade.

Any support response about how the product works is not financial advice and should not be treated as a trading recommendation.

13. Updates to this page

We may update this Compliance page as the product changes, as new features are added, or as legal and regulatory expectations evolve.

Your continued use of ScanTrader after updates means you understand the latest disclosures posted here.
