You agree to immediately inform us in the event that the foregoing representation is no longer accurate.

Demo Version

We may provide you with evaluation version of the FX+ Platform for 30 days period. This demo version won’t necessarily produce the same results as those obtained on your real account following the same Providers, due to trading and/or market conditions. 

Mark-up

BTS is compensated by the broker and for this purpose, the broker applies a markup (= spread widening) to any operation generated via the FX+ Platform. This markup may vary but is usually equal (or very close) to 1 pip. Based on FX market convention, 1 pip represents the fourth decimal point of a price that is equal to 1/100th of 1%. Although such markup may be considered as minimal and therefore not significant by inexperienced traders, it may significantly affect trading results. 

Disclaimer Regarding Investment Decisions and Trading

Decisions to buy, sell, hold or trade in foreign currencies and other investments involve risk and are best made based on the advice of qualified financial professionals. Any trading in investments involves a risk of substantial losses. YOU AGREE THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED IN IMPLEMENTING INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND IN INVESTMENTS IN GENERAL.

The use of any trading system, strategy or signals, including any system, strategy or signals included as a sample in, or that is or was developed using, the FX+ Platform and the Services or any data, information, products or services provided by or through the FX+ Platform and the Services, including trade signals from Strategy Providers, does not and cannot guarantee that you will make profits, increase profits or minimize losses.

You understand that there can be no guarantee that your use of the Services or the information disseminated through the FX+ Platform will result in profits. Further, you understand that such your use may result in substantial losses.

Additionally, trading results based upon hypothetical or historically-tested trading strategies or systems do not necessarily compare to results of actual trading. No hypothetical or historical trading record can account for the level of risk present in actual trading. Numerous factors relating to market conditions, the existence or nonexistence of specific events or circumstances, human error, human/emotional reaction to losses during actual trading, inherent limitations of certain hypothetical or historically tested models, particularly ones that do not operate at the “tick” (as opposed to open, high, low, close) level, volume of trade and liquidity differences between hypothetical models and actual trades, and other supply/demand differences that may not be addressed by hypothetical models, and other conditions and circumstances, can account for these differences. There is no guarantee that your hypothetical trading results, even if tested against historical data, will produce comparable actual trading results. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical or historically tested performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading system or strategy. The possible reasons for this include the likelihood that no trading strategy or system can, even with automated trading, be precisely executed as designed. YOU AGREE THAT FUTURE RESULTS MAY NOT BE PROFITABLE OR EQUAL TO REPRESENTATIONS OF PAST PERFORMANCE; REAL, INDICATED OR IMPLIED.

The practice of “Day Trading” involves particularly high risks and can cause you to lose substantial sums of money. Before undertaking any trading program, strategy or starting following a certain Strategy Provider, you should consult a qualified financial professional. Please consider carefully whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition and ability to bear financial risks.

YOU ALONE ASSUME SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY INVESTMENTS OR DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON THE FX+ PLATFORM OR ANY DATA, INFORMATION, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH THE FX+ PLATFORM, INCLUDING TRADE SIGNALS FROM SIGNAL PROVIDERS.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE YOU OR ANYONE ELSE INCURS AS A RESULT OF ANY TRADING OR INVESTMENT ACTIVITY THAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE ENGAGES IN BASED ON ANY INFORMATION, DATA OR MATERIAL YOU RECEIVE THROUGH THE FX+ PLATFORM, INCLUDING TRADE SIGNALS FROM SIGNAL PROVIDERS, OR AS A RESULT OF USE OF THE FX+ PLATFORM.

You also agree to bear complete responsibility for your choice of Strategy Provider(s) and acknowledge that we have not and will not make any specific recommendations to you upon which you are entitled to rely.

No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those achieved by Strategy Providers or any other traders. Your attempt to follow any trades provided by Strategy Providers may be hindered by the inherent delay in receiving and executing that trade; market liquidity, and your own trading issues, including, but not limited to slippage, commissions, trading software, and internet outages.

The returns for Strategy Providers listed throughout the FX+ Platform are hypothetical in that they represent returns in a model account. The model account may rise or fall by the exact single contract profit and loss achieved by clients trading actual money pursuant to the listed system’s trading signals on the appropriate dates, or if no actual client profit or loss is available, by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by the system’s trading signals over the test period.

The actual percentage gains/losses experienced by you will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to: the settings you have selected for trades mirroring, starting account balances, market behavior, your account settings, and the performance of Strategy Providers. Because of this, actual percentage gains/losses experienced by you may be materially different than the percentage gains/losses as presented through the FX+ Platform.

No Advice or Solicitation

The FX+ Platform is for informational purposes only. You acknowledge and agree that the FX+ Platform is not intended to supply investment or financial advice or a recommendation to trade using any specific Strategy Provider. We or Strategy Providers offer no advice regarding the nature, potential value, or suitability or any particular currency, transaction, investment or investment strategy. You should not construe any data or information provided by Strategy Providers as legal, tax, investment, financial or other advice.

Nothing in the FX+ Platform is a solicitation to buy, sell or hold foreign currencies or other investments or financial instruments.

Responsibility

FX+ is not responsible for losses, either caused by platform errors under any circumstances or issued by brokers/banks/counterparties. If any error occurs for any reason, we will do our best to solve it as soon as possible.

Mistrading of Strategy Providers shall not be considered as “platform errors”, and we shall not be responsible for losses or lost profits resulting from such causes under any circumstances. FX+ platform is provided for information and trading ideas purpose primarily, and using automation & duplication services remains the sole responsibility of the Strategy Follower. Please note that any consequence of the use of the service on your real trading account will be no ones call but yours. We strongly recommend you to review your account statements and monitor your account status at least daily to ensure that the trades you ordered were placed, and that all trades that were made on your account were authorized by you.
