Risk Disclosure
Read this before using EdgeMarket
We do not give investment advice. Nothing on this platform is a recommendation, a solicitation, or an offer to buy or sell any financial instrument. We are not your financial adviser and we are not regulated as one.
The data may be wrong. Prices, filings, fundamentals and every figure derived from them may be inaccurate, delayed, incomplete or entirely missing. We do not guarantee accuracy and you must not rely on this platform as your only source.
Trading involves a serious risk of losing money — most retail investors lose money. You may lose part or all of the capital you commit, and losses can exceed your initial outlay with leveraged instruments. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
1. Information only
EdgeMarket is a research tool. It gathers market data and computes indicators so that you can perform your own analysis. It does not know your financial situation, your objectives, your tax position, your other holdings or your tolerance for loss, and it therefore cannot — and does not attempt to — tell you what is suitable for you.
No screen, ranking, score, alert, backtest or chart on this platform constitutes a personal recommendation. A security appearing in a list is not a suggestion to buy it; a security absent from a list is not a suggestion to avoid it.
2. Why the data may be wrong
Most of the information shown comes from third parties — exchanges, brokers, regulators, central banks and public filings. We reproduce and process it; we do not originate it and we cannot independently verify it. In practice this means:
- Delay. Prices are not real-time. Treat every quote as historical.
- Gaps. Instruments, days or whole periods may be missing.
- Errors at source. A provider may publish an incorrect figure, later revise it, or withdraw it. Corporate actions may be reflected late or not at all.
- Processing errors. Our own aggregation, mapping and calculation may contain defects.
- Interruptions. A feed may stop without any visible sign that the figures on screen have stopped changing.
Where the platform states the date to which data refers, that statement is provided in good faith as a help, not as a guarantee.
3. Backtests and simulated results
Backtested performance is hypothetical. It is calculated with the benefit of hindsight, over a chosen period, on data that may be incomplete or subject to survivorship and look-ahead bias. It does not include commissions, spreads, slippage, financing costs, taxes, or the practical difficulty of following a rule through a drawdown. No investor achieved these results. Past performance does not predict future results.
4. Market risk
Investing and trading expose you to risks including, without limitation:
- Capital loss — the value of an investment can fall to zero.
- Leverage — magnifies losses as well as gains, and can produce losses greater than the amount originally invested.
- Volatility — prices can move sharply and without warning.
- Liquidity — you may be unable to exit a position at the price shown, or at all, particularly in small or thinly traded instruments.
- Currency — exchange rate movements can erode returns.
- Concentration and issuer risk — an individual company can fail.
- Crypto-assets — are largely unregulated, extremely volatile, and may become worthless or untradeable.
5. Most retail investors lose money
Studies by financial regulators consistently find that a majority of retail accounts lose money on speculative trading, and the proportion is higher still for leveraged products. Assume you are in that majority unless you have strong evidence otherwise. If you cannot afford to lose the money, do not commit it.
6. Get independent advice
Before making any financial decision, consider seeking advice from an adviser authorised in your jurisdiction who can take your personal circumstances into account. Consider whether you understand the instrument, and whether you can afford the risk of losing your money.
7. Your responsibility
By using EdgeMarket you accept that every decision you take is your own, that you will not rely on the platform as the basis for it, and that EdgeMarket accepts no liability for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Service. See section 11 of theTerms of Service for the full limitation of liability.
