Disclaimer and Risk Warning

Education, not advice

The Expat Trader publishes market commentary, educational material and tools. Nothing on this website is personal financial, investment, tax or legal advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument, or an offer or solicitation of any kind. We do not provide trading signals.

Everything is general in nature and does not take account of your objectives, financial situation or experience. You are responsible for your own decisions. If you are unsure whether trading is right for you, speak to a qualified, independent adviser.

Leverage and risk

Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. Prices can move quickly and against you, stop losses are not guaranteed to fill at the level you set, and no method, indicator or framework removes risk. Most traders do not make consistent profits.

Past patterns are not a forecast

Seasonality describes what has happened on average in the past. Any individual month or year can differ, and a seasonal tendency can fail. COT positioning reflects positions as at a Tuesday and is published days later, so it is context rather than a timing signal. Central bank bias labels and weekly recap commentary are our reading of public information at the time of writing and can be wrong or become out of date.

Where a page shows example figures, such as the sample statistics on the home page, they are illustrative only and are not a record of real trading performance.

Tools and data

Our calculators, dashboards and data tables are provided as a convenience. We work to keep them accurate and current, but we cannot guarantee that they are complete, error free or up to date. Always verify figures, prices and position sizes against official sources and your own broker before you place a trade.

Third-party links and referrals

Some pages link to third-party platforms, products or services. The Expat Trader may receive a referral fee or commission if you sign up or buy through them. A link is not an endorsement. Do your own research and read each provider's terms and risk disclosures before you use them.

Where you live

Rules on financial products differ by country. This website is not directed at anyone in a place where publishing or using it would break local law or regulation. It is your responsibility to check what applies to you.
