General Financial, Legal, and Platform Risk
Software Only; No Advisory Relationship
Triton Paper IS A SOFTWARE AND MARKET-RESEARCH PLATFORM. Triton Paper IS NOT A BROKER-DEALER, REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISER, COMMODITY TRADING ADVISER, FINANCIAL PLANNER, TAX ADVISER, LAW FIRM, EXCHANGE, CUSTODIAN, OR FIDUCIARY.
No feature, model, alert, algorithm, condition rule, score, ranking, chart, watchlist, strategy, prompt, response, notification, data point, or interface element is individualized financial, legal, tax, accounting, brokerage, investment, or trading advice. Nothing in the Services is an offer, solicitation, endorsement, instruction, or recommendation to buy, sell, hold, short, hedge, or trade any security, option, futures contract, foreign exchange instrument, cryptocurrency, prediction market contract, commodity interest, or other financial product.
Self-Directed Use and Assumption of Risk
You are solely responsible for your research, suitability analysis, strategy design, risk controls, account settings, order review, tax consequences, and financial decisions. You should consult qualified professionals before making investment, trading, legal, accounting, or tax decisions. You agree not to rely on the Services as the sole basis for any financial decision.
Trading and investing are inherently risky. You may lose some or all of your capital, including more than your initial deposit when using margin, options, short selling, leveraged products, futures, forex, or similar instruments.
No Guarantee of Availability, Accuracy, or Outcome
The Services may be unavailable, delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, interrupted, or affected by software defects, model defects, market disruptions, exchange halts, brokerage restrictions, third-party outages, rate limits, stale data, calculation errors, security events, maintenance, or network failures. Triton Paper does not guarantee profit, return, execution quality, signal accuracy, model accuracy, risk reduction, or portfolio performance.
Liability Allocation
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Triton Paper AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, DATA PROVIDERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR TRADING LOSSES, MARKET LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, REPUTATIONAL HARM, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SPECIAL DAMAGES, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES.
If liability cannot be excluded, Triton Paper's total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the lesser of (a) amounts you paid to Triton Paper for the Services in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100.
Artificial Intelligence, Models, and Signals
AI Outputs Are Probabilistic and Fallible
The Services may use large language models, machine learning systems, statistical models, ranking systems, scoring formulas, rules engines, and third-party AI infrastructure. These systems may produce hallucinations, false statements, stale conclusions, incomplete analysis, incorrect citations, invalid calculations, unsuitable outputs, or misleading confidence levels.
Signals and Scores Are Not Instructions
Scores, conviction labels, "buy", "sell", "hold", "exit", "breakout", "momentum", "bullish", "bearish", "risk", "impact", "confidence", or similar labels are software classifications and analytical shorthand only. They are not personalized recommendations, trading instructions, or guarantees.
Model Drift, Prompt Risk, and Automation Risk
- Model drift: Outputs may change as models, prompts, market regimes, third-party tools, or data sources change.
- Prompt sensitivity: Different wording, missing context, or hidden assumptions may materially change results.
- Automation risk: Automated workflows can amplify stale data, connection failures, order-routing errors, and user configuration mistakes.
- Human review required: You must independently review AI outputs before relying on them or taking action.
No Training, Benchmarking, or Extraction Rights
AI outputs, model behavior, prompts, scoring structures, workflow logic, and interface responses are part of the protected Triton Paper platform. You may not use them to train, fine-tune, distill, benchmark, validate, reverse engineer, replicate, or build a competing product or service without written permission.
Hypothetical, Simulated, Backtested, and Displayed Performance
CFTC Rule 4.41 Notice
Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since trades have not been executed, results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of market factors such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs are also generally designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
Paper (Practice) Results Are Simulated
Results from Triton Paper's paper environment, including any performance figures shown on our paper site, come from an OANDA practice (fxPractice) account trading virtual funds. They are hypothetical results subject to the CFTC Rule 4.41 limitations above: no real money was at risk, and fills, spreads, slippage, and financing in a live account can differ. Live results shown on our production site come from a single internal account, are gross of fees, and are not representative of customer results.
Performance Displays Are Not Promises
Portfolio tracking, strategy P&L, balance history, backtests, strategy simulations, scenario models, projected returns, win/loss estimates, rankings, watchlists, and paper-trading views are informational software displays. They may omit commissions, spreads, slippage, taxes, borrowing costs, margin interest, short locate fees, liquidity constraints, rejected orders, partial fills, regulatory restrictions, and other real-world factors.
Past Performance and Backtests
Past performance, historical analysis, backtested results, simulated returns, paper results, and examples are not reliable indicators of future performance. Market regimes change. Strategies that appeared successful in one period can fail immediately, permanently, or catastrophically in another.
User-Provided Settings
Any performance or risk display may depend on user settings, imported data, brokerage data, symbol mapping, timestamps, currencies, corporate actions, and calculation assumptions. You are responsible for verifying those assumptions before making decisions.
Trading, Options, Margin, and Intraday Risk
WARNING: ACTIVE TRADING, INTRADAY TRADING, SHORT SELLING, OPTIONS, FOREX, CRYPTO, FUTURES, PREDICTION MARKETS, AND LEVERAGED POSITIONS CARRY A HIGH RISK OF RAPID AND SUBSTANTIAL LOSS.
Market and Execution Risk
- Total loss: You can lose all capital allocated to a strategy or account.
- Loss beyond deposit: Margin, options, short selling, futures, and leveraged products may create losses greater than your initial deposit.
- Execution risk: Orders may be rejected, delayed, partially filled, routed differently, filled at worse prices, or not filled at all.
- Liquidity risk: Thin markets, wide spreads, halts, news events, and after-hours conditions may prevent exits or materially worsen prices.
- Operational risk: Internet outages, device failures, brokerage outages, API errors, webhook delays, and misconfiguration can cause unintended results.
Intraday and Margin Rules
Intraday and margin activity is governed by your brokerage agreement, exchange rules, clearing requirements, regulatory rules, account type, product permissions, and real-time risk controls. Brokers may impose equity requirements, margin calls, liquidation rights, order restrictions, concentration limits, good-faith violation rules, unsettled-cash restrictions, or day-trading controls. You must consult your broker for rules that apply to your account before trading.
Options, Shorts, Crypto, Forex, and Prediction Markets
Options can expire worthless and complex options strategies can create nonlinear losses. Short selling can create theoretically unlimited losses. Crypto, forex, futures, and prediction markets may trade continuously, gap sharply, lack investor protections available in securities markets, or be restricted by jurisdiction. Leveraged products can magnify losses quickly.
Retail Forex Risk
Off-exchange forex trading carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Triton Paper places trades in your own account with OANDA. Retail forex is traded off-exchange: OANDA, as the dealer, is the counterparty to your trades and sets the prices and spreads you trade at, which can differ from prices quoted elsewhere. Forex accounts are not protected by SIPC, and your funds are exposed to the dealer's financial condition. Depending on your account and your broker's policies, losses can exceed the funds you deposited.
- Leverage: Forex is traded on margin. U.S. rules cap retail leverage (for example, 50:1 on major currency pairs and 20:1 on others), but even capped leverage means a small price move can produce a large gain or loss relative to your margin.
- Margin close-outs: If your account's margin falls below OANDA's required level, OANDA may close some or all of your open positions automatically and without notice, at prevailing prices that may be far worse than any stop you set. Triton Paper does not control and cannot reverse a broker close-out.
- 24/5 sessions: The forex market trades roughly 24 hours a day, five days a week, from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon (U.S. Eastern time). Triton Paper's algorithms may open, hold, or close trades at any hour in that window, including overnight while you are not watching. Liquidity thins and spreads widen around session changes, the daily rollover, holidays, and major news.
- Weekend gaps and rollover: Positions held over the weekend can reopen at a materially different price. Positions held through the daily rollover incur financing charges or credits set by your broker.
Third-Party Data, Broker APIs, and Connected Services
Third-Party Dependencies
Triton Paper may depend on brokerages, exchanges, data vendors, cloud providers, payment processors, identity providers, analytics tools, email services, SMS/push providers, AI providers, and other third parties. Third-party services are governed by their own agreements, policies, schedules, limitations, and fees.
Market Data Limitations
Market data may be delayed, stale, corrected, restated, unavailable, misformatted, incomplete, mapped to the wrong symbol, adjusted for corporate actions, or subject to vendor restrictions. You must verify market data through official brokerage, exchange, issuer, or regulatory sources before trading.
Forex prices, candles, and indicators used by Triton Paper come from OANDA and third-party data providers (including TradingView, Alpha Vantage, Financial Modeling Prep, Twelve Data, Marketstack, Yahoo Finance, and StockTwits). Market data is provided for internal strategy evaluation only, is not an official feed, and may be delayed, indicative, stale, or subject to upstream outages. Prices from these sources can differ from the prices OANDA fills you at.
Broker and API Limitations
Broker APIs may reject orders, throttle requests, disconnect accounts, change permissions, delay updates, report stale account values, impose product restrictions, liquidate positions, or modify margin requirements. Triton Paper is not responsible for broker actions, data vendor actions, third-party outages, order execution, account losses, rejected trades, fees, or regulatory restrictions.
Credential and Permission Responsibility
You are responsible for granting, reviewing, limiting, and revoking third-party permissions and API credentials. You should use least-privilege permissions whenever possible and should never connect capital, accounts, or permissions you are not prepared to monitor directly.
Investor Guidance and Fraud Awareness
Review investor education materials from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, and CFTC.
Before Making Any Investment or Trade
- Build a personal financial plan and understand your risk tolerance.
- Do not trade with emergency funds, rent, mortgage money, student loan funds, retirement funds you cannot afford to lose, or essential living money.
- Understand the product, venue, liquidity, fees, tax treatment, and worst-case loss before entering a trade.
- Diversify where appropriate and avoid concentrated exposure you cannot withstand.
- Verify claims through official issuer, exchange, broker, SEC, FINRA, CFTC, or other regulatory sources.
- Be skeptical of guaranteed returns, urgency, secret strategies, influencer hype, pump-and-dump activity, and unsolicited trading advice.
- Keep independent records of orders, account statements, confirmations, tax documents, and strategy assumptions.
No Emergency or Real-Time Monitoring Service
Triton Paper is not an emergency alert system, trade desk, brokerage supervision service, risk manager, or real-time monitoring service. You are responsible for monitoring your accounts, orders, open positions, margin status, broker notices, and market conditions directly.
Emergency Controls, Voice Commands, and AI Chat Actions
Never leave live automated trading unattended. The Emergency Controls on the Triton Paper Home page let you pause algorithms, suspend API activity, stop orders, liquidate all positions, or cancel open orders. Suspending the API or stopping orders also blocks automated exits. Keep immediate access to OANDA's own platform or mobile app so you can close positions or cancel orders if Triton Paper is unavailable.
If you link a voice-assistant integration, voice requests can be misheard, misattributed, or triggered by other people or devices nearby; check results in the app. Closing or selling off positions by voice is disabled, and AI chat actions that trade run only after you confirm them on a separate confirmation page.
Trading Psychology, Journaling & Wellness Features
Any trading psychology, emotional discipline, or AI-assisted journaling features within Triton Paper are provided solely for personal self-reflection and educational productivity. Triton Paper does not provide medical, clinical, psychological, psychiatric, or behavioral-health advice, diagnosis, or therapy. If you experience emotional distress, financial crisis, or compulsive trading behavior, stop trading immediately and contact a qualified professional or call/text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (988 in the US) or the National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-GAMBLER).
