Trading & Performance Disclosures

Last Updated: October 2026

Please read the following risk disclosures, regulatory statements, and legal disclaimers carefully prior to purchasing, downloading, installing, or operating any software, automated trading strategy, custom indicator, dashboard, alert feed, or educational material provided by Tactical Data Desk ("TDD", "we", "us", or "our").

CFTC Rule 4.41 — Hypothetical or Simulated Performance Disclaimer

HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER- OR OVER-COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE 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.

Testimonials, backtests, replay simulations, and hypothetical performance results displayed on this website, in videos, Discord channels, or marketing materials do not reflect actual trading by clients and do not account for real-world variables such as execution lag, market slippage, broker commissions, platform crashes, or exchange fees.

1. Substantial Risk of Trading Futures, Options & Equities

Trading futures contracts, options, equities, and leveraged instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The high degree of leverage often obtainable in futures and options trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.

You may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with your broker to establish or maintain a position. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your broker to deposit substantial additional margin funds on short notice. If you fail to do so, your position may be liquidated at a severe loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.

You should carefully evaluate whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your financial condition, investment experience, risk tolerance, and personal circumstances. Only risk capital — money that you can afford to lose without endangering your living situation, family, or retirement — should be used for trading.

2. Automated Trading Systems & Algorithmic Execution Risks

Tactical Data Desk provides automated strategies and algorithmic execution tools (including, but not limited to, the TDD Sentinel Ultimate and TDD Fibonacci AutoTrader). Deploying automated execution systems introduces distinct operational and technical risks, including:

You acknowledge and agree that automated systems are not set-and-forget mechanisms. You are solely responsible for continuously monitoring system status, verifying position states, enforcing risk limits, and maintaining secondary manual liquidation protocols.

3. Educational and Informational Purpose Only (No Investment Advice)

Tactical Data Desk, its owners, officers, developers, and team members are not registered as Investment Advisers (RIAs), Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs), Commodity Pool Operators (CPOs), or Broker-Dealers with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the National Futures Association (NFA), or any state or international regulatory authority.

All indicators, automated software, dashboards, live streams, Discord discussions, guides, video tutorials, and commentary are provided strictly for educational and informational purposes. Nothing contained on this website or in any Tactical Data Desk communication constitutes a personalized recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any security, commodity, option, or contract.

4. Indicator Limitations & Signal Failure

Our technical indicators (such as the TDD MACD Divergence System, Order Flow Suite, Gamma Exposure levels, and Whale Alerts) are designed to visualize market data, auction order flow, and institutional order books. Indicators and mathematical models can be wrong, and signals can and do fail.

Market conditions change continuously. Past statistical edges, divergences, or volume profiles do not guarantee future profitability. All chart examples, setups, stop-loss markers, and profit targets displayed in documentation or promotional content are illustrative examples, never guarantees of price movement.

5. Past Performance & Telemetry Tracking

Past performance, whether live or simulated, is no guarantee of future results. Any live execution logs, telemetry summaries, PnL trackers, or customer testimonials represent unique historical snapshots and should never be viewed as typical or expected results.

Actual returns depend heavily on individual account size, risk tolerance, order entry timing, trade management discipline, platform configuration, broker execution, and market liquidity.
