Risk Disclosure & Disclaimer

Last updated: March 17, 2026

1. General Risk Warning

Trading and investing in equities, derivatives (futures and options), and cryptocurrency involves significant risk of financial loss. The value of financial instruments can go down as well as up. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Past performance, including results from backtesting and paper trading, is not indicative of future results.

You should only trade with money you can afford to lose. If you do not fully understand the risks involved, you should seek independent financial advice before using this platform for live trading.

2. Not Financial Advice

AlgoCharting is a technology platform that provides charting tools, market data visualization, automated strategy execution, and AI-powered analysis. Nothing on this platform constitutes:

• Investment advice or financial advice of any kind
• A recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any security or financial instrument
• An endorsement of any particular trading strategy or approach
• Tax advice, legal advice, or accounting advice
• A guarantee of returns or profits

All trading decisions are made solely by you. AlgoCharting does not manage funds, provide portfolio management services, or act as a financial advisor.

3. Algorithmic & Automated Trading Risks

Automated trading strategies available on this platform (including EMA Crossover, RSI, MACD, and other technical indicators) carry specific risks:

• Strategy failure: No algorithm guarantees profits. Strategies that perform well in backtesting or paper trading may fail in live markets due to changing market conditions, liquidity, and slippage.
• Technical failures: Automated systems depend on internet connectivity, server uptime, and exchange API availability. Outages may prevent order execution or cancellation.
• Over-optimization: Backtesting results may be over-fitted to historical data and may not reflect future market behavior.
• Execution risk: Live market orders may be filled at prices different from expected due to slippage, partial fills, or rapid market movements.
• Unintended behavior: Automated strategies may behave unexpectedly during volatile market conditions, flash crashes, or unusual market events.

4. Indian Equity Market Risks

Trading in Indian equities (NSE/BSE) through connected brokers involves the following risks:

• Stock prices can fluctuate significantly due to company-specific, sectoral, or macroeconomic factors.
• Derivatives trading (futures and options) involves leverage and can result in losses exceeding your initial investment.
• Market hours are limited (9:15 AM – 3:30 PM IST). Positions may be affected by overnight news and gap openings.
• Regulatory changes by SEBI, exchanges, or the Government of India may impact trading conditions.
• Circuit breakers and trading halts may prevent order execution during extreme volatility.

5. Cryptocurrency Trading Risks

Trading cryptocurrency derivatives on Delta Exchange carries additional risks:

• Extreme volatility: Cryptocurrency prices can experience rapid and significant fluctuations. Daily price swings of 10-20% are not uncommon.
• Leverage risk: Perpetual futures contracts are leveraged products. Small price movements can result in significant gains or losses, including total loss of margin.
• 24/7 markets: Crypto markets operate continuously. Positions are exposed to risk around the clock, including while you sleep.
• Regulatory uncertainty: The regulatory status of cryptocurrencies varies by jurisdiction and may change at any time, potentially affecting the legality or availability of crypto trading.
• Liquidity risk: Some crypto instruments may have limited liquidity, resulting in wider spreads and greater slippage.
• Taxation: Cryptocurrency gains in India are subject to 30% flat tax (Section 115BBH) plus 1% TDS on transfers. Tax obligations are your sole responsibility.

6. AI Advisory Disclaimer

AlgoCharting's AI-powered advisory features use large language models (GPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok) to generate market analysis and trading insights. You must understand that:

• AI outputs are generated by machine learning algorithms and are not personalized financial advice.
• AI models may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading analysis.
• AI models have knowledge cutoff dates and may not reflect the most recent market developments.
• Different AI models may provide contradictory opinions on the same market situation.
• AI analysis should never be the sole basis for trading decisions. Always conduct your own research.

7. Paper Trading Disclaimer

Paper trading (simulated trading with virtual funds) is provided for educational and testing purposes. Important limitations:

• Paper trading results do not reflect actual market conditions. Simulated fills may not account for real-world factors like slippage, partial fills, market impact, and liquidity.
• Emotional factors present in real trading (fear, greed, pressure) are absent in paper trading, which can lead to unrealistic expectations.
• Virtual funds have no monetary value and cannot be withdrawn or transferred.
• Successful paper trading does not guarantee success in live trading.

8. Third-Party Services

AlgoCharting integrates with third-party exchanges and data providers (DhanHQ, Delta Exchange, Fyers). We are not responsible for:

• The accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of data provided by these services.
• Downtime, outages, or API failures of connected exchanges.
• Order execution failures, delays, or errors on exchange platforms.
• Changes to exchange policies, fees, or terms of service.
• Any losses resulting from third-party service disruptions.

9. Market Data Disclaimer

Market data displayed on AlgoCharting is sourced from third-party exchanges and may be subject to delays, errors, or omissions. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any market data. Prices displayed may differ from actual exchange prices. Do not rely solely on platform data for trading decisions.

10. No Guarantee of Availability

AlgoCharting is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the platform. Service disruptions may occur due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any losses arising from inability to access the platform.

11. Regulatory Compliance

AlgoCharting is a technology platform and is not registered as a stockbroker, investment advisor, portfolio manager, or research analyst with SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) or any other regulatory authority. Users are responsible for ensuring their own compliance with applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction.

If you are connecting exchange accounts for live trading, you must ensure that your broker/exchange is properly registered and regulated.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, AlgoCharting, its operators, directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from:
