Risk Disclaimer

IMPORTANT: Please read this entire disclaimer carefully before using NQSharp.

This page contains legally required disclosures regarding the risks of futures trading and the nature of NQSharp's services.

Regulatory Status

NQSharp is NOT a registered Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), Investment Adviser, Broker-Dealer, Financial Planner, or any other type of licensed financial services provider.

NQSharp is a market analytics and educational technology platform. It provides automated technical analysis of publicly available market data for informational and educational purposes only. NQSharp does not:

  • Provide personalized investment advice tailored to your financial situation
  • Execute trades or manage trading accounts on your behalf
  • Hold, manage, or have access to your funds or brokerage accounts
  • Recommend specific trades, position sizes, or risk amounts
  • Guarantee any trading outcomes or investment returns

CFTC Rule 4.41 — Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

Regarding Performance Data Shown on This Website

  • All backtest results shown on this website are hypothetical — no actual money was traded
  • Results are based on a limited test period (60 days of historical 15-minute NQ=F data). Longer-term performance may differ materially
  • Commissions, exchange fees, slippage, and market impact costs are NOT included in the results and would reduce actual returns
  • NQSharp has no actual trading track record. All results shown are from automated backtesting of historical data
  • Live engine performance statistics (if shown) represent analysis accuracy, not trading results — NQSharp does not execute trades
  • Some setups were excluded from the final engine because they underperformed in testing — this constitutes selection bias that may inflate apparent results

Futures Trading Risk

TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERY INVESTOR. THE VALUATION OF FUTURES AND OPTIONS MAY FLUCTUATE, AND AS A RESULT, CLIENTS MAY LOSE MORE THAN THEIR ORIGINAL INVESTMENT. THE IMPACT OF SEASONAL AND GEOPOLITICAL EVENTS IS ALREADY FACTORED INTO MARKET PRICES. THE HIGHLY LEVERAGED NATURE OF FUTURES TRADING MEANS THAT SMALL MARKET MOVEMENTS WILL HAVE A GREAT IMPACT ON YOUR TRADING ACCOUNT AND THIS CAN WORK AGAINST YOU, LEADING TO LARGE LOSSES, OR CAN WORK FOR YOU, LEADING TO LARGE GAINS.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

You are solely responsible for your own trading and investment decisions. By using NQSharp, you acknowledge that:

  • You understand the risks of trading leveraged futures contracts
  • You will not trade with money you cannot afford to lose
  • You will consult with a qualified, licensed financial professional before making trading decisions
  • NQSharp's automated analysis may contain errors, delays, or inaccuracies
  • You will not rely solely on NQSharp for making trading decisions
