Disclaimer
Last updated: TODO: date of approval
This disclaimer covers everything Derivatives Indicators ("we", "us"), the legal entity behind this website, publishes or provides: this website, the TradingView indicators and strategies, Vyuh, Swing Desk and our other desks, the research reports, and our videos, livestreams and social media posts. By using any of them, you accept it. Please read it together with the Terms and conditions.
Not investment advice
Everything we provide is for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing we publish is a recommendation, solicitation or offer to buy, sell or hold any security, derivative, commodity or crypto asset, or to follow any trading strategy.
Our content is general. It does not take into account your objectives, financial situation, experience or appetite for risk. No relationship of adviser and client, or any fiduciary duty, is created when you use our tools, buy a plan, watch our videos or contact us.
Not SEBI registered
We are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as an investment adviser or a research analyst. We do not provide tips, calls, trade setups, portfolio management or any advisory service.
We are not registered as an adviser, analyst, broker or commodity trading adviser with any other regulator either, in India or abroad, including those in the United States. Our tools for US markets are analysis tools, not advice.
Trading involves substantial risk
Trading in derivatives, including futures and options on indices, stocks and commodities, involves substantial risk and can lead to losses greater than your initial capital. As per a SEBI study, 9 out of 10 individual traders in equity F&O incurred net losses.
Among the risks:
- Leverage. A small move in the underlying can cause a large loss on a futures or options position.
- Option buying. An option can lose its whole value, quickly, and especially near expiry.
- Option selling. The loss on a sold option is not capped by the premium received and can be many times larger.
- Gaps and fast markets. Prices can jump past a stop loss, at the open or on news, and your order may fill far from the price you wanted.
- Liquidity. Some strikes, stocks and contracts trade thinly, so spreads can be wide and orders hard to fill.
- Commodities and foreign markets. MCX contracts and US markets carry their own risks, including contract specifications, trading hours and, for US markets, currency movements.
Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
Indicators show readings, not certainties
An indicator or strategy turns past prices, volume and options data into readings and signals. A Buy or Sell label is a reading of what the data showed, not a prediction of what the market will do. Signals can be wrong, can come late, and can conflict with each other. On a candle that has not closed yet, a reading can change before the candle closes.
Backtests and hypothetical results
Our research reports, and any Strategy Tester results or screenshots we show, are hypothetical. They are worked out on past data after the fact. They do not represent actual trading and do not involve real money.
Hypothetical results have built-in limits:
- They are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, and settings chosen because they did well in the past may not do well in the future.
- Fills, slippage, costs and taxes are modelled, and real orders can fill at different prices, partly or not at all.
- They cannot account for the pressure of trading real money, such as skipping a signal or closing a trade early.
- A screenshot from TradingView's Strategy Tester shows what TradingView calculated for the settings shown. It is not an account statement and not a record of anyone's real trades.
Past performance, whether hypothetical or actual, is not indicative of future results. Any figure we show is not a promise or a forecast of returns.
Automation and Vyuh
Vyuh, and any other way of turning alerts into orders, places real orders on rules that you set. You are responsible for those rules and for every order that results.
Automated trading can go wrong. Alerts can arrive late or not at all. Your computer, internet connection, tunnel, TradingView, the broker's API or an exchange can fail or slow down. Orders can be rejected, filled in part, filled at a worse price or sent more than once. Test every strategy in paper mode first, start with small quantities, and keep watching your positions.
Your broker's rules, and SEBI's rules on API and algorithmic orders by retail investors, apply to you, including any requirement for a registered static IP. Following them is your responsibility.
Market data
Prices, volumes, open interest and other data come from third parties such as TradingView, brokers and exchanges. They can be delayed, incomplete or wrong. Our desks and reports can show delayed or incorrect data. Always check prices with your broker before you trade.
Reviews and testimonials
Reviews on this website are the words of individual users about their own experience. They are not typical results, they are not verified by us, and they are not a promise of what you will get. Some are shortened, marked with "…". Your results will differ.
Videos, livestreams and posts
Our videos, livestreams and social media posts show how we read charts and use our tools. Any level, view or trade discussed in them is an example for learning, not advice to trade.
Our own trading
The people behind Derivatives Indicators trade in the markets our tools cover, and may hold positions in instruments that our content discusses, including at the time it is published.
Crypto assets
Some of our tools can be used on crypto charts. Crypto assets are not regulated as securities in India, are highly volatile and can lose all their value. Tax rules for them are strict. Using our tools on crypto charts is at your own risk.
Where you live
Our services are not directed at anyone in a country where using them would be against the law. You are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those on trading derivatives, foreign markets and crypto assets.
Taxes
You are responsible for the tax on your trading and for keeping your own records.
Your decisions, your responsibility
You alone decide whether and how to trade. Please consult a SEBI registered investment adviser before making investment decisions. You are responsible for every order placed from your account, including orders sent through Vyuh.
Third party platforms and links
TradingView, brokers such as Zerodha and Dhan, exchanges, OpenAlgo and the other services we mention are independent third parties. We are not affiliated with them unless stated, and we are not responsible for their services. Naming a broker or platform, for example as one that offers a feature, is not an endorsement. Links to other websites are for convenience; we do not control their content.
Errors and changes
We work to keep our content accurate, but it can contain errors or go out of date. We may change, update or remove content, tools and this disclaimer at any time. The date at the top shows the latest version.
