Performance Disclaimer
AlgoIndex Performance and Results Disclosure
AlgoIndex.com may present performance data, back-testing results, historical returns, simulated outcomes, or other financial statistics related to algorithms, indices, or investment strategies. It is crucial to understand that all such performance information is provided solely for illustrative and informational purposes. Past or hypothetical performance is not a guarantee or reliable indicator of future results. All investments in the financial markets carry inherent risk, and individual results can and will vary. By using our Site and any performance-related content, you acknowledge and accept the following specific disclaimers regarding performance:
- No Guarantee of Future Results: Any figures or charts showing past returns (whether actual historical data or simulated back-test results) are not indicative of future performance. Markets are volatile and unpredictable. Past success does not guarantee future success. Strategies that performed well in the past may not perform well in the future for numerous reasons, including changing market conditions, shifts in volatility, economic events, and model limitations.
- Risk of Loss: All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of some or all of your invested capital. There is no such thing as a completely risk-free strategy or investment. Even conservative or algorithmically-optimized strategies can incur losses due to unforeseen market events or model errors. You may lose money following any strategy or insight obtained from AlgoIndex, and you should be financially able and prepared to bear that risk.
- Hypothetical & Simulated Performance Warnings: Some performance results on AlgoIndex may be hypothetical, such as those generated from back-testing an algorithm on historical data or paper trading simulations. Hypothetical performance has many inherent limitations. It is often designed with the benefit of hindsight, does not reflect actual market trading conditions (e.g., liquidity constraints, slippage, commissions, or human decision delays), and may fail to account for the impact of real-world factors. Therefore, simulated results can be over-optimistic and not achievable in real trading. Actual performance in live markets may differ significantly from simulated results.
- No Personalized Assurance: Any specific numbers, return percentages, win rates, or risk-reward profiles shown are generalized and not tailored to any particular investor. Your personal trading results could be better or worse than the averages or examples shown, depending on how you implement strategies, the timing of your trades, capital allocations, tax considerations, and other factors unique to you. AlgoIndex does not and cannot guarantee that you will achieve any particular outcome using information or strategies derived from our content.
- Performance Context: Where we present performance metrics (such as an algorithm’s annual return, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, etc.), those metrics should be understood in context. Often, they assume reinvestment of profits and may not account for all costs. Performance figures may also compare against benchmarks purely for context. No information on the Site is intended to imply that any strategy will outperform a benchmark or that any investment is “safe” or “low-risk.”
- Future Projections and Forward-Looking Statements: Any forward-looking statements, projections, or expectations about future performance that may appear on AlgoIndex (for example, an algorithm’s projected annualized return or hypothetical growth of a $10,000 investment) are inherently uncertain. These projections are illustrative guesses and not promises or guarantees. Actual future results could differ materially.
- Use of Performance Information: You should use any performance-related information on our Site as one of many resources in your decision-making process. It should not be the sole basis for any investment or trading decision. Always consider your own financial situation and risk tolerance.
By reviewing performance content on AlgoIndex.com, you agree that you fully understand the above disclaimers. You should be cautious and skeptical of any strategy that claims to have high returns with minimal risk. No one can predict the markets with certainty. Before acting on any performance information from AlgoIndex, we strongly advise conducting your own research, performing thorough due diligence, and, if needed, consulting a licensed financial advisor who can provide guidance based on your individual circumstances.
AlgoIndex and its contributors shall not be held liable for any decisions you make based on performance information or for any losses incurred. You bear full responsibility for your investment decisions. Please also review our No Investment Advice Disclaimer (above) and our site’s Terms of Use for additional important information. Remember: “Past performance is not indicative of future results,” and investing always carries risk.
