Read this page in full before subscribing. It describes the real risks of using ZepTrader.
Trading futures and other leveraged products involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. Only risk capital you can afford to lose.
Futures contracts are traded on margin. Leverage means that a small market movement has a proportionally larger impact on the funds you have deposited — both for and against you. A leveraged position can lose money rapidly, and you can lose more than your initial deposit depending on the market, your broker's margin terms and your position sizing.
ZepTrader makes no guarantee of profit or freedom from loss. No trading system, automated or otherwise, can guarantee returns. Automated execution does not remove market risk — it applies a ruleset consistently, including in losing markets.
Backtested and simulated results are hypothetical. Hypothetical performance has limitations, including that it is prepared with the benefit of hindsight, does not involve financial risk, and cannot fully account for the impact of market liquidity, slippage, partial fills, halts, limit moves and the psychological realities of real trading. Past performance — real or simulated — does not guarantee future results. Differences between hypothetical results and actual results can be significant and adverse.
ZepTrader is software. It depends on your device, your internet connection, third-party services (including market-data providers and, when available, brokers) and the correct operation of our servers. Outages, latency, data errors, delayed or stale quotes, and software defects can cause orders to be missed, duplicated, or filled at unexpected prices. Risk controls — including the kill switch, daily loss limits and position caps — are software features and are subject to the same technology risks. You are responsible for monitoring your automations and positions.
Rules-based execution removes emotional decision-making but does not remove risk. Automations execute their programmed logic in all market conditions, including fast, illiquid or erratic markets. Review the exact rules of any automation inside your account before enabling it, and size positions appropriately.
ZepTrader is a software platform, not a broker, financial adviser, commodity trading advisor or asset manager. Nothing on this site, in the platform, or produced by Zep AI (including the AI Trade Analyst, AI Journal, AI Performance Analyst and AI Risk Assistant) constitutes financial, investment, tax or legal advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any instrument. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions.
ZepTrader is an independent software product. It is not a bank, broker-dealer, futures commission merchant or exchange. Your funds remain with your brokerage; ZepTrader never takes custody of your money.
ZepTrader does not hold itself out as a regulated financial-services entity. Where broker integrations exist, execution is provided by your chosen broker under that broker's own terms and regulatory framework — your relationship with your broker is between you and the broker.
By subscribing to or using ZepTrader, you acknowledge that you have read this Risk Disclosure, that you understand the substantial risks involved, and that you accept sole responsibility for your trading decisions and their outcomes.
If you have questions about these risks, contact hello@zeptrader.com — or consult a qualified independent financial adviser before subscribing.
