Risk Disclosure
Last updated: February 2026
High Risk Warning
Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources.
1. Nature of Trading Risk
Trading in financial markets, including but not limited to stocks, futures, options, forex, and cryptocurrencies, carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.
The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment.
Leveraged instruments such as futures and options carry additional risk. Losses can exceed your initial deposit, and you may be required to make additional payments (margin calls) to maintain your positions.
2. Software Is a Visualization Tool Only
Oflow Trading software is a visualization and analysis tool only. It is designed to display orderflow data and market information for informational and educational purposes. The Software:
- Does NOT provide investment advice
- Does NOT make trading recommendations
- Does NOT guarantee profitable trades
- Does NOT predict market movements
- Does NOT execute trades on your behalf
Any trading decisions you make are entirely your own responsibility. The Software is merely a tool to help you view and analyze market data.
3. No Investment Advice
Nothing contained in our Software, website, documentation, or any communication from Oflow Trading should be construed as:
- Financial or investment advice
- A recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument
- An offer to buy or sell any financial instrument
- Tax, legal, or accounting advice
You should consult with qualified professionals before making any investment decisions.
4. Personal Responsibility
You are solely responsible for all trading decisions and actions you take.
By using the Software, you acknowledge that:
- All trading decisions are made by you alone
- You understand the risks involved in trading
- You have the financial means to absorb potential losses
- You will not hold Oflow Trading responsible for any trading losses

5. Past Performance Disclaimer
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Any examples, testimonials, or demonstrations of the Software showing historical market data or trading scenarios do not guarantee similar results in the future. Markets are inherently unpredictable, and what worked in the past may not work in the future.
6. Hypothetical Performance Disclaimer (CFTC Rule 4.41)
HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT 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 PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.
7. Trade Only What You Can Afford to Lose
Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
You should only use risk capital for trading - money that, if lost, would not affect your lifestyle or financial obligations. Trading with borrowed money, retirement funds, or money needed for essential expenses is strongly discouraged.
8. Technical Risks
You acknowledge that there are technical risks associated with using any software, including:
- Software bugs or errors
- Data feed delays or interruptions
- Internet connectivity issues
- Hardware failures
- Power outages
These technical issues may affect your ability to monitor markets or execute trades. Oflow Trading is not responsible for any losses resulting from technical failures.
9. Data Accuracy
While we strive to provide accurate and timely data, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data displayed by the Software. Market data is provided by third-party sources and may be subject to delays, errors, or interruptions.
You should verify important data through independent sources before making trading decisions.

This includes, but is not limited to:
