Risk Disclaimer
Trading is speculative, volatile, and can result in substantial losses. Read this before using any market education or community commentary.
1. Trading involves substantial risk
Day trading, futures, forex, options, crypto, margin products, and other active market strategies can be extremely risky. You can lose some or all of the money you commit, and losses can happen quickly.
2. Education, not advice
SSMT content, community discussion, chart markups, watchlists, lessons, examples, and live commentary are provided for educational purposes only. They are not personalized recommendations to buy, sell, hold, short, use leverage, or enter any trade.
3. No guarantee of results
No trading method, signal, framework, mentor, community, or course can guarantee profits. Past performance, backtests, examples, screenshots, testimonials, and hypothetical results do not guarantee future performance.
4. Performance examples
Any performance numbers shown on the website are presented for transparency and marketing context. They may not reflect fees, slippage, commissions, taxes, liquidity constraints, emotional execution, account size, or different market conditions.
5. Leverage and margin
Leverage can amplify gains and losses. Margin requirements can change, positions can be liquidated, and volatile markets can move faster than expected. Do not use leverage unless you understand the mechanics and can accept the risk.
6. Minors and suitability
Trading may be unsuitable for minors, inexperienced traders, or anyone with limited financial resources or low risk tolerance. If you are under the age of majority where you live, use this material only with parent or guardian permission and do not open financial accounts unless permitted by law.

- Stop trading if losses, stress, or impulsive decisions are affecting your wellbeing.
