What AEGIS is, and what it is not.

AEGIS is not a broker

AEGIS does not accept, transmit, route or execute orders. It cannot place a trade on your behalf under any circumstance, and no setting, plan or integration enables it to. The interface AEGIS uses to talk to your broker has no method for submitting an order, and that absence is deliberate and permanent.

Where a broker's API permits it, AEGIS requests read-only access. AEGIS is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting as agent for any broker, exchange or proprietary trading firm named on this site.

AEGIS is not a registered investment adviser

Nothing AEGIS produces is a recommendation, and nothing on this site is investment advice. AEGIS is not registered as an investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, or broker-dealer with any regulator.

The analysis AEGIS produces is descriptive. It reports conditions it observes in market data — that price was rejected at a level, that volume is declining, that a range is compressing — together with the evidence for that observation and the condition that would make it wrong. It does not tell you to buy or sell anything, does not suggest a position size, and does not predict a price.

Any decision you make after reading it is yours alone.

Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss

Trading futures and futures options involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor. You may lose more than your initial investment. Leverage means a relatively small market movement can produce a proportionally much larger impact on your position, which can work against you as easily as for you.

Consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge and financial resources. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Past performance is not indicative of future results

Your journal statistics describe what has already happened in your own account. They are a record, not a forecast, and a setup that has worked before carries no obligation to work again.

AEGIS does not publish backtested returns, hypothetical performance, or testimonials. Hypothetical results in particular have inherent limitations: they are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, involve no financial risk, and cannot account for the effect of that absent risk on real decisions.

The analysis can be wrong

Some of what AEGIS produces is computed by a model. Models are wrong regularly and confidently. This is why every written read carries an explicit invalidation condition — the observable event that would show the read no longer applies — and why that condition is displayed with the read rather than hidden behind it.

Treat AEGIS's output as one input among several, never as a reason on its own.

Market data may be delayed

Unless you hold your own real-time exchange subscription, prices shown in AEGIS are delayed. Delayed prices are labelled everywhere they appear, and the label is derived from the data itself. Do not rely on a delayed price for a decision that depends on the current one.

Prop-firm rule tracking is a convenience, not a guarantee

AEGIS tracks drawdown, daily loss and profit targets from the data your broker reports and the thresholds you configure. Your funding firm's own calculation is authoritative. Timing, fees, unsettled positions, or a rule interpretation that differs from your configuration can all produce a different answer.

Never rely solely on AEGIS to know whether you are within your firm's rules.

No guarantee of availability

AEGIS depends on broker APIs, exchange data feeds and network infrastructure outside its control. It may be unavailable, delayed or incomplete at any time, including during the market conditions when you would most want it.
