Risk disclosure

StillQuant, operated by TechArt26 LLC, provides education and software. We don't give financial or investment advice or personal recommendations, and we never manage money, hold client funds or place trades for anyone. Backtests are hypothetical, past results don't predict future ones, and investing involves risk – you can lose some or all of the money you invest.

1. Investing can lose money

Investing involves risk. Prices move for reasons nobody can predict, and you can lose some or all of the money you invest. With leverage or margin you can lose more than you put in. Only invest money you can afford to lose.

2. Backtests are not forecasts

A backtest applies rules to past prices. It shows what would have happened, not what will happen. Backtests tend to look better than live trading because they know the past, can be tuned to it (overfitting), and often understate costs, slippage and missed fills. Our reports show drawdowns and cost sensitivity for this reason. Past performance, hypothetical or real, is not a reliable indicator of future results.

3. Algorithms and automation

An algorithm follows its rules even when markets behave in ways its designers never saw. Bugs, connectivity problems, data errors and broker outages can cause losses. Everything we provide starts on demo accounts; going live is your own, deliberate decision, and you remain responsible for monitoring anything that trades for you.

4. AI assistants

Claude and other AI assistants can misread an idea, make arithmetic mistakes or state things confidently that are wrong. Check the rules Claude writes, read the drawdown, and treat every answer as a starting point for your own judgement, never as a recommendation.

5. Data from third parties

Prices, news and data come from third parties. They may be delayed, incomplete or wrong. Check the figures that matter at the source before you act on them.

6. No advice

Nothing on this site, in the Algo-Report or in results returned to Claude is investment, tax or legal advice, and nothing is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any instrument. If you are unsure, speak to a licensed adviser.
