Risk Disclosure

Draft 0.1, 24 October 2026

Draft for legal review. Not yet in force.

Please read this before you use TradeDFine. It explains the risks of trading in derivatives and the limits of what risk-control software can do.

1. Trading in futures and options is high risk

• Futures and options are leveraged. You can lose more than you expect, quickly, and in some cases more than the money in your account.
• Studies published by SEBI have found that about nine out of ten individual traders in equity futures and options made net losses over the periods studied, after costs.
• Brokerage, exchange charges, taxes and other costs reduce any profit and add to any loss.
• Past results, including any illustration on our website, do not indicate future results.

2. What TradeDFine is not

• TradeDFine is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser, research analyst, portfolio manager or stockbroker.
• It does not tell you what, when or how much to trade, and nothing in it is investment advice.
• The limits are yours. A limit that is too loose, or switched off, gives no protection.

3. What risk-control software cannot do

It cannot guarantee an exit price or that your loss stays within a limit.

• An exit is an order like any other. In fast, illiquid or gapping markets, near expiry, or at the open, the price can move past your limit before the order fills, or the order may not fill at all.
• Exchanges may halt trading or limit price bands; brokers may reject orders, for example for margin, freeze quantity or risk reasons.

It depends on your broker and on networks.

• It sees your account only through your broker's systems. If your broker's systems, the exchange, the internet or our own service are slow or unavailable, the information can be late or missing, and actions can be delayed or impossible.
• When information is missing or late, TradeDFine shows the state as unknown, never as safe, and alerts you. You must then check and manage your positions in your broker's own app.
• You must log in to your broker every trading day. Without a valid login, nothing can be monitored or done.

It acts only on what you set.

• In shadow mode it does not act at all; it only records what it would have done.
• Live controls act only where you have switched them on, and only where your broker and the rules allow.
• Positions or orders placed outside the connected account, or in segments not supported, are not covered.

4. Your responsibility

You remain responsible for every trade in your account, for watching your positions, and for using your broker's own risk tools. Keep your broker's app available on your phone during market hours.
