Financial Disclaimer
Last updated: 20 June 2026
Important: Please read this disclaimer carefully before using Trade By Focus.
Trading is high risk. The majority of retail traders lose money, and you should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
1. Not Financial Advice
Trade By Focus is a software tool that helps you monitor and manage your own existing MetaTrader 5 (MT5) trading account. Nothing on the platform — including charts, data, our AI chat or coaching, analysis, insights, alerts, pre-built strategies, tasks, schedules, or any other content — is financial advice, investment advice, or tax advice, and nothing is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. We do not assess whether any trade, strategy, or market is suitable for you. If you need advice, speak to an independent, suitably qualified financial adviser.
2. Trading Is High Risk
Trading foreign exchange, metals, indices, contracts for difference (CFDs), cryptocurrencies, and other leveraged instruments carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for everyone. Because these products are usually traded on margin, losses can build up far faster than you might expect, and you could lose some or all of your capital. The majority of retail investor accounts lose money. Only ever trade with money you can afford to lose, and seek independent professional advice if you are in any doubt.
3. Past Performance
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Any performance figures shown anywhere on the platform — including figures for pre-built strategies or tasks (such as the XAUUSD gold task) — are based on backtesting and/or demo-account results, are provided for illustration only, and do not represent guaranteed or likely future returns. Live results vary with spreads, slippage, broker conditions, and the market itself.
4. What Trade By Focus Does — and Does Not Do
Trade By Focus is a monitoring and management companion for your own MT5 account. It lets you view your account, manage open positions, and place trades — either manually, or through automated tasks and schedules that you set up and switch on yourself — via the hosted MetaTrader 5 service. When you use these features you acknowledge that:
- Trade By Focus does not make any trading decisions for you. It does not trade autonomously or at its own discretion — every order results from an instruction you give, manually or through a task or schedule you have activated
- Trade By Focus does not manage your money or your account. You remain the account holder and you deal with your broker directly
- You are placing real trades on a live account at your own risk
- Execution depends on the MetaTrader 5 platform, your broker, and connectivity — and automated trading can result in losses
- Software bugs, connectivity failures, feed outages, or server downtime may prevent trades from being placed, modified, or closed, and you should not rely solely on this platform to manage your trades
- You should switch off any task or schedule when you do not want trades to be placed, and monitor your account and active automations at all times
Signals sourced from third-party trade signal groups carry the same execution-path risks described above, plus additional risks specific to third-party content: provider error, retrospective message edits or deletions, parsing/interpretation error on our part, and uneven signal quality across different groups. You accept these risks in full when you connect a signal group, and you are responsible for monitoring all connected groups at all times. We recommend demo-testing any new group before going live.
5. Your Responsibility
- All trading decisions are made solely by you, at your own risk
- You bear full responsibility for every trade on your account — whether you place it manually or it is placed by a task or schedule you activated
- You are responsible for configuring your task and schedule settings appropriately
- You are responsible for monitoring your account and any active automations
- You should test any task or strategy on a demo account before using it on a live account
- You should never risk more than you can afford to lose
6. Regulatory Status
Trade By Focus is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or any other financial regulator. It is provided as a software tool only. We do not hold or control client funds, we do not provide investment management or advice, and we do not act as a broker or dealer.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Trade By Focus and its operator shall not be liable for any financial loss, damage, or cost arising from your use of the platform — including losses from trades you place manually or through tasks and schedules you have activated, system failures, connectivity issues, feed outages, delayed or failed command execution, or broker-related problems. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
