Most risk disclosures are written to be unread. This one is written to be useful, because the failure modes it describes are the ones this product exists to argue with — and a reader who understands them uses the software better.
The short version: ORIN measures charts and explains what it measured. It is not advice, it cannot see most of the market, and trading loses most people money. Everything below is the specific version of those three sentences.
01This is software, not advice
ORIN is not an investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator or financial institution, and is not registered as any of those with the SEC, CFTC, FINRA, the NFA, the FCA or any other regulator. Nothing ORIN produces is investment advice, a recommendation, a solicitation, or an offer to buy or sell anything.
Every output is generated by applying general, publicly documented technical criteria to a price series. It is not tailored to you. We do not know your income, your net worth, your other positions, your tax situation, your time horizon, your obligations, or your tolerance for loss — and we do not ask, because knowing would not change what the software does.
Nothing ORIN says should be read as “take this trade”. The product is built specifically so that it cannot say that: it grades, it explains, and it declines. Whether to act is a decision only you can make and only you carry.
If you want advice that accounts for your circumstances, you need a licensed adviser in your jurisdiction. That is a genuinely different service and we are not a substitute for it.
02Trading loses money
You can lose some or all of the capital you commit. With leveraged instruments you can lose more than you deposit. Only risk money whose complete loss would not change how you live.
These are not abstractions. Specifically:
- Most active traders lose money. This is consistently reported by regulators requiring brokers to disclose client outcomes, and it is the base rate you are trading against. A tool that grades setups does not exempt you from it.
- A good decision can lose. Any single trade is a draw from a distribution. A correctly graded, correctly sized, correctly executed trade loses a meaningful fraction of the time, by design. If you judge the tool by whether the last trade won, you will misjudge it in both directions.
- Leverage multiplies both directions. On margin, futures, CFDs or perpetuals, a move against you that is small in percentage terms can close your position entirely regardless of where you placed a stop.
- Stops are not guarantees. A gap through your level, a halt, a fast market, or thin liquidity can fill you far worse than the price you specified — or not at all.
- Costs compound against you. Spread, commission, financing, slippage and tax are paid on every trade, win or lose. A strategy with a genuine edge before costs can be a losing strategy after them.
- Currency risk applies where the instrument is denominated differently from your account.
03What the analysis cannot know
ORIN reads a price series. That is a real thing to read, and it is much less than the market. The following are invisible to it unless you supply them:
- Scheduled and unscheduled news — earnings, guidance, central bank decisions, economic releases, regulatory action, litigation, geopolitics. A chart cannot see an earnings date, and a grade that ignores one can be confidently wrong.
- Corporate actions — splits, dividends, mergers, delistings, halts, and the adjustments different data vendors apply to them.
- Order book and liquidity conditions — depth, spread, participation, and whether the size you intend to trade can actually be traded at the levels shown.
- Your position and your context — existing exposure, correlation across your book, concentration, margin state, or the fact that you have already lost three times today.
- Anything after the last candle. Every read describes the market as at a moment. Markets move; a read goes stale, and the Service marks a read as suspended when the data behind it is too old to describe the present.
The Service surfaces its own uncertainty rather than hiding it — thin data, inferred scale, stale quotes, conflicting rules and unconfirmed manual checks all appear on the read. Take those seriously; they are the honest part.
04Automated analysis fails in specific ways
Part of the Service uses a large language model to describe, in prose, an analysis that has already been computed deterministically. The numbers come from our engine; the model expresses them. Every sentence is checked against the computed evidence, and any claim citing a figure the engine did not produce is suppressed and replaced.
That mechanism eliminates one specific failure — a fabricated price level — and nothing else. It does not make the underlying analysis correct. In particular:
- technical criteria that worked historically can stop working, and usually do so before it is obvious;
- a pattern can be correctly identified and still fail, which is the normal case rather than the exception;
- market data can be delayed, adjusted, gapped or simply wrong, and an analysis of bad data is bad however good the analysis;
- software has defects, and this software will have some you and we have not found yet.
Verify anything you intend to act on against your own broker’s data before you act on it.
05Performance figures, and why most of ours are empty
Past performance is not indicative of future results. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to any figure shown.
Where the Service publishes a statistic — a hit rate, an expectancy, a calibration curve — it is computed from outcomes that actually resolved on ORIN, and it is published whichever way it lands. Nothing is published until at least 500 resolved observations sit behind it, which is why most cells on the property currently read collecting rather than showing a number. An empty cell is the honest state of a new product; a full one at launch would have to have been invented.
Simulated and hypothetical results. Any figure not derived from live, resolved outcomes — a backtest, an illustration, a worked example — is hypothetical. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. Unlike a record of actual trading, they do not represent actual trading, and because the trades were not executed they may under- or over-compensate for the impact of market factors such as liquidity. They are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, and there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading programme. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
Worked examples in marketing material, help articles and product demos are illustrations of format, not records of trades. Where an example is fixed rather than live, the Service says so on the example itself.
How every published figure is computed, and what counts as a resolved outcome, is set out on the methodology page.
06Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for:
- every trading decision you make and every order you place;
- determining whether trading a given instrument is legal and appropriate for you where you live;
- the amount you risk. The Service computes position size from figures you supply — account size, risk percentage, loss cap — and a wrong input produces a wrong size with no way for us to detect it;
- verifying prices, levels and calculations against your broker before acting;
- obtaining independent financial, legal and tax advice where you need it.
ORIN is a second opinion that cannot see your account, your other positions, or tomorrow. Use it to check your thinking, not to replace it — and never trade money you need.
This summary is for readability. The numbered clause above it is what binds.
If trading is affecting your finances, your work, your sleep or your relationships, stop and get help. Problem gambling services treat compulsive trading, and the tooling on this site is not a substitute for that either. In the United States, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is available on 1-800-522-4700, 24 hours a day.
07Availability and jurisdiction
The Service is offered from the United States. It is not directed at any person in any jurisdiction where its availability or use would be contrary to local law, and it is your responsibility to determine whether your use of it is lawful where you are.
Nothing in the Service constitutes an offer or solicitation to any person in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful. Access from a territory subject to comprehensive sanctions is prohibited under the Terms of Service.
