Risk Disclosure

Trading futures is risky

Futures and other leveraged products involve substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for everyone. Because of leverage, you can lose more than the money you deposit. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Not investment advice

Holdout is software for charting and analysis. Nothing on this website, in the software, in emails or in any other material from us is investment, financial, tax or legal advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. We don't know your finances or goals. Speak to a licensed professional if you need advice.

Signals and statistics

Indicator signals and on-chart statistics describe how rules would have behaved on past data. Markets change; a rule that worked in the past can stop working. On-chart statistics generally ignore commissions, slippage and the difficulty of executing at the prices shown.

Hypothetical performance (CFTC Rule 4.41)

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.

Automated trading

Strategies that place orders can malfunction, receive bad data, lose connection or behave differently live than in testing. Always test on a simulated account first and monitor live trading.

Prop-firm accounts

If you trade an evaluation or funded account, follow that firm's rules. Some firms restrict automated trading, news trading or holding positions overnight. Using our tools does not guarantee passing an evaluation or receiving a payout.
