Disclaimer
Last updated: May 12, 2026
The following terms apply to all content published under the name Midas Lab or by its author, including but not limited to this website, the RSS feed, The Midas Logbook, any social-media account associated with the Midas Lab community, and any other channel through which Midas Lab content is distributed (collectively, the “Content”). By accessing or engaging with any of the Content, you acknowledge and agree to the following.
1. Entertainment and Educational Purposes Only
The Content is provided solely for entertainment, informational, and educational purposes. It is not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as, investment, financial, trading, tax, legal, accounting, or any other professional advice. Nothing in the Content constitutes a recommendation, solicitation, endorsement, or offer to buy, sell, or hold any security, derivative, commodity, cryptocurrency, or other financial instrument.
2. No Adviser Relationship
The author of Midas Lab is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading adviser, certified financial planner, attorney, accountant, or tax professional, and is not licensed to provide investment advice in any jurisdiction. No fiduciary, advisory, or professional relationship is created by your engagement with the Content. The author owes you no duty of care, loyalty, or disclosure beyond what is publicly stated.
3. Past Performance and Forward-Looking Statements
Any references to historical performance, backtest results, paper-trading results, or live trading outcomes — including entries published in The Midas Logbook — describe past events and do not predict, indicate, or guarantee any future performance. Backtest and simulated results in particular are subject to numerous limitations, including but not limited to hindsight bias, look-ahead bias, survivorship bias, and the absence of real-world execution constraints, slippage, fees, and liquidity dynamics. Actual trading results will differ, often materially, from historical or simulated results.
Statements about future performance, market direction, or strategy behavior are inherently uncertain. You should not rely on any such statement as a prediction of future outcomes.
4. Risk of Loss
Trading and investing in financial markets involves substantial risk, including the risk of total loss of capital. Leveraged trading and trading in volatile instruments such as options, futures, and cryptocurrencies can result in losses that exceed the amount invested. You should not risk capital you cannot afford to lose.
5. Your Responsibility
You alone are responsible for your own investment, trading, and financial decisions. Before executing any trade or making any financial decision influenced by the Content — including any example, signal, strategy description, or performance figure referenced in any Midas Lab post, Logbook entry, social-media post, or community discussion — you must consult a licensed financial professional qualified to advise on your individual circumstances. You are responsible for conducting your own independent research and exercising your own judgment.
6. No Warranties
The Content is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The author makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any information contained in the Content. The author may make errors. The author may change opinions without notice. The author may publish information that is incomplete or that turns out to be wrong.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the author of Midas Lab shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or reliance on the Content, including but not limited to financial losses, lost profits, lost opportunities, or any other damages, regardless of the legal theory asserted and regardless of whether the author was advised of the possibility of such damages.
8. Third-Party Content and Affiliations
The Content may reference third-party software, brokers, exchanges, data providers, or trading platforms. Such references are made for illustrative or technical context only and do not constitute an endorsement. The author has no general affiliation with any third party referenced in the Content. Any affiliation, sponsorship, or compensation, if it exists with respect to a particular post or item of Content, will be disclosed in that specific post.
9. Proprietary Information
The Content describes the general architecture and methodology of a personal trading-bot project. Specific parameter values, thresholds, signals, and any other proprietary details of the underlying strategies are intentionally not disclosed and are not part of the Content. You should not assume that strategy examples described at a general level are sufficient to replicate the underlying project's behavior.
10. Jurisdiction
The Content is published from the United States. It is your responsibility to determine whether your access to or use of the Content is permitted under the laws of your jurisdiction. The Content is not directed at any person in any jurisdiction where its publication or availability would be contrary to local law.
11. Changes
The author may revise this disclaimer at any time without notice. The version in effect on the date you engage with the Content governs your use of it. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was made.
If you have read this far and you are still considering acting on something you read at Midas Lab without consulting a licensed financial professional first, please re-read section 5. That section is the entire point of this page.
