In no event shall Andrew Swanscott’s and Swannytech Pty Ltd’s total liability to you for all damages, losses, fees, costs, expenses, and causes of action (whether in contract or tort, including but not limited to negligence) exceed the annual amount paid by you, if any, for accessing this site.

Indemnification: As a user of this site and/or of any products, services, software, spreadsheets, or subscriptions offered herein, you agree, at your own expense, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Andrew Swanscott and Swannytech Pty Ltd, and its representatives, employees, owners, suppliers, and agents, against any claim, suit, action or other proceeding brought against Andrew Swanscott, Swannytech Pty Ltd, its representatives, employees, owners, suppliers, and/or agents based on or arising in connection with your use of this site or any of the products, services, spreadsheets, software, or subscriptions offered herein. You agree to pay any and all costs, damages, and expenses, including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs awarded against or otherwise incurred by, or in connection with, or arising from any such claim, suit, action or proceeding attributable to any such claim.

All users are expected to consult with their own independent financial advisers and perform their own due diligence research before making any trade or investment decisions.

Information and Opinions: Information on this site is provided solely for informational or general educational purposes and should not be construed as an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities or to provide investment advice.

CFTC RULE 4.41 – HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed in this document. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Risk: The risk of loss in the trading of stocks, ETFs, options, futures, FOREX, foreign equities, and bonds can be substantial. Trading these instruments may not be suitable for all investors.
