Automated Trading Disclosure

Automation Amplifies Risk

Automated systems can execute at speeds and frequencies that make manual intervention difficult or impossible. A single logic error, misconfiguration, or unexpected market condition can result in a large number of unintended orders within seconds. Automation can dramatically amplify both gains and losses compared to manual trading.

Specific Automated Trading Risks

• Logic defects, code errors, or configuration mistakes in strategies, webhooks, or routing rules
• Unintended orders, repeated orders, duplicate fills, or failure to execute exit orders
• Stale state: automation acting on outdated data or a position state that no longer reflects reality
• Delayed triggers, failed webhook deliveries, dropped messages, or out-of-sequence processing
• Latency-induced slippage: orders sent faster than the broker can process under peak conditions
• API disconnections, credential expiration, rate-limit rejections, or broker system outages
• Exchange rejects, partial fills, position mismatches, and reconciliation errors between Trade Manager and broker
• Cloud provider, device, browser, internet, and infrastructure failures during live automation
• Runaway automation: exponential loss from looping logic or self-reinforcing signal errors

Trade Manager's Limitations

Trade Manager does not guarantee that Automation will function as intended, remain continuously available, comply with broker or prop-firm rules, or produce results consistent with any hypothetical, backtested, or simulated outcomes. Automation features are provided on an "AS IS" basis.

Trade Manager is not responsible for losses arising from automation failures, misconfiguration, webhook delivery issues, broker-side errors, latency, volatility spikes, runaway logic, or any other technology-related failure.

Your Obligations When Using Automation

Webhook and Signal-Based Automation

If you use webhook-based automation (e.g., TradingView alerts, custom scripts, or third-party signal services), you accept additional risks including:

• Signal source errors, false signals, or delayed signal delivery
• Webhook endpoint exposure or unauthorized access if credentials are compromised
• Misconfigured alert conditions that trigger unintended orders
• Signal flooding: receiving more signals than expected and generating excessive orders

Trade Manager is not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any third-party signal source used with the Platform.

Prop Firm Automation Risks

If you use automation features in connection with prop trading evaluation accounts, you accept that:

• Automated strategies may violate prop firm rules regarding drawdown, position size, trading hours, or consistency
• Trade Manager does not monitor prop firm rule compliance and is not responsible for account failures
• It is your sole responsibility to verify that your automation complies with current prop firm requirements
