Effective Date: July 28, 2025 | Last Updated: April 16, 2026
FjordPath, Inc. dba ClearEdge Automation
This Important Disclosures document outlines critical information about the risks, limitations, and responsibilities associated with using ClearEdge Automation ("ClearEdge," "we," "us," or "our"), a software platform designed to automate futures trading strategies across supported brokers. By using ClearEdge Automation (the "Service"), you acknowledge and accept the risks and terms described below.
Trading involves risk and may not be suitable for all investors. By choosing to trade in a live account (cash margin) versus a simulated account (prop broker), you (the "User") acknowledge and agree to read and accept the applicable hold harmless agreement. ClearEdge Automation utilizes proprietary broker accounts operated through simulated trading environments for live execution. Past performance of our in-house offered strategies is not indicative of future results.
By agreeing to these important disclosures, the User hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FjordPath, Inc., doing business as ClearEdge Automation, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Company"), from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), or actions arising out of or related to any trading losses incurred by the User, whether resulting from software errors in the Company's products or services, errors or omissions by the User, failures or malfunctions of third-party software or systems integrated with or used in conjunction with the Company's offerings, market volatility, or any other cause not constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Company; provided, however, that this hold harmless agreement shall not apply to losses directly caused by the Company's intentional fraud or violation of applicable law.
1. No Investment Advice
ClearEdge Automation is a tool for executing user-defined trading strategies and does not provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. We are not registered as an investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial planner. All trading decisions, including strategy configuration, broker selection, and risk management, are solely your responsibility. Consult a qualified financial advisor before engaging in trading activities.
2. High Risk of Futures Trading
Futures trading involves a high degree of risk and is not suitable for all individuals. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Key risks include:
Futures markets can be highly volatile, leading to rapid and significant losses.
Futures contracts often involve leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses.
Some futures markets may have low liquidity, impacting trade execution and pricing.
Technical issues, such as internet outages or software errors, may disrupt trading.
Engaging in futures, forex, and other financial trading involves significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. It is possible to lose the entire amount of your investment, or even more. Only use risk capital—money you can afford to lose without impacting your financial security or lifestyle.
3. Hypothetical Performance Disclosure
Performance results based on hypothetical data have many inherent limitations and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual future performance. Hypothetical performance figures are often generated with the benefit of hindsight and do not involve financial risk, thus differing significantly from actual trading results. Many factors, including market conditions and the capacity to endure losses, can adversely affect real trading outcomes. Testimonials and other promotional materials on our website do not necessarily represent the experiences of other clients and do not predict future performance.
4. User Responsibility for Trading Decisions
ClearEdge Automation executes trades based on your configured strategies and signals (e.g., from TradingView or other webhook-compatible platforms). You are solely responsible for:
Choosing, testing, and validating trading strategies.
Ensuring proper setup and authentication with supported brokers.
Setting stop-loss, take-profit, and other risk parameters.
Verifying the accuracy and reliability of signals from third-party providers.
ClearEdge Automation does not verify the suitability or profitability of your strategies or signals. Incorrect configurations or unreliable signals may result in unintended trades or losses.
5. No Guarantee of Performance
ClearEdge Automation is designed to execute trades quickly and reliably based on your instructions, but we do not guarantee:
Delays or failures may occur due to broker systems, market conditions, or technical issues.
The Service does not guarantee profits or protection against losses.
While the Service runs locally on your device, interruptions may occur due to hardware, software, or network issues.
6. Third-Party Services
ClearEdge Automation integrates with third-party brokers and platforms (e.g., TradingView, Trendspider). These services are subject to their own terms, conditions, and risks. FjordPath, Inc. is not liable for issues arising from third-party services, such as broker outages, data inaccuracies, or platform limitations.
7. Local Execution and User Control
ClearEdge Automation runs locally on your device, giving you full control over your trading data. You are responsible for:
Protecting your device, API keys, and account credentials from unauthorized access.
Ensuring your device or VPS meets the technical requirements for running the Service.
Maintaining backups of your trading configurations and data.
8. Subscription and Cancellation
ClearEdge Automation is offered as a monthly subscription, which you may cancel at any time through your account settings. Access to the Service will continue until the end of the paid period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ClearEdge Automation, its affiliates, and its employees shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:
Losses incurred through trading activities.
Errors, delays, or failures in trade execution.
Reliance on third-party signals or strategies.
Technical issues, including software bugs or device failures.
10. Regulatory Compliance (CFTC Rule 4.41)
In accordance with CFTC Rule 4.41, hypothetical or simulated performance results carry inherent limitations and do not stem from actual trading. These models lack predictive value regarding future trading outcomes. No assurances are provided that any trading account will realize profits or losses akin to those illustrated. Testimonials are not indicative of all clients' experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
11. Community Strategies
ClearEdge Automation allows you to leverage trading strategies shared by the ClearEdge community. These strategies are provided for informational purposes only and are not endorsed or verified by ClearEdge. You assume all risks associated with using community strategies.
12. Platform Limitations
ClearEdge Automation is not intended for ultra-short-term scalping or HFT strategies. Typical signal-to-execution lag ranges from 0.3 to 2 seconds.
Users are solely responsible for ensuring that orders do not conflict with one another. Overlapping signals can lead to unintended trade behavior.
ClearEdge Automation does not currently provide broker or exchange order IDs, position state, or account information for use in any strategy logic.
ClearEdge Automation is not a self-healing system. Things can and will go wrong. Users are solely responsible for monitoring signals, trade logic, open positions, and broker connections. ClearEdge automation is not designed as a “set and forget” trading software.
13. Broadcast Feature Disclosures
IMPORTANT: The Broadcast feature involves following the live trades of another ClearEdge user. This carries substantial additional risk. Please read this section carefully.
The Broadcast feature allows a designated user (a "Broadcaster") to share their live trade signals with other ClearEdge users who have opted in as followers ("Followers"). ClearEdge Automation provides only the technical infrastructure for this signal-sharing functionality and expressly disclaims any endorsement of, or responsibility for, any Broadcaster, their trading strategy, track record, qualifications, or results.
13a. No Endorsement of Broadcasters
ClearEdge Automation does not verify, vet, endorse, recommend, or guarantee the competence, profitability, regulatory compliance, or suitability of any Broadcaster. The availability of a Broadcaster on the ClearEdge platform is not a representation that such Broadcaster is a registered investment advisor, commodity trading advisor, or any other regulated financial professional. Followers are solely responsible for evaluating the suitability of any Broadcaster whose signals they choose to follow.
13b. Follower Responsibility
By enabling the Broadcast follow feature, a Follower acknowledges and agrees to the following:
The Follower is solely responsible for any trades executed in their account as a result of following a Broadcaster's signals.
Trade execution for Followers may differ materially from the Broadcaster's execution due to latency, broker differences, account-specific margin requirements, or other factors.
Past performance of a Broadcaster is not indicative of future results.
ClearEdge Automation is not liable for any losses resulting from following a Broadcaster's signals, including losses arising from software errors, transmission delays, or signal misfires.
The Follower has read and agreed to the Broadcast Follower Agreement prior to activating the feature.
13c. Broadcaster Responsibility
Any user who activates the Broadcaster role acknowledges that:
They are not acting as a registered investment advisor or commodity trading advisor by virtue of broadcasting, unless separately registered as such.
They assume no legal liability to Followers for trading outcomes, but they are expected to operate in good faith and are bound by the Broadcaster Pre-Session Agreement.
ClearEdge Automation may suspend or terminate Broadcast access at its sole discretion for any reason, including patterns of behavior deemed harmful to Followers.
14. Echo Feature Disclosures
IMPORTANT: The Echo feature replicates trades across multiple accounts simultaneously. Losses can be multiplied proportionally across all connected accounts. Use with extreme caution.
The Echo feature allows a user to execute a trade within their ClearEdge dashboard and automatically replicate that trade signal across multiple brokerage or proprietary trading firm accounts simultaneously ("Mirrored Accounts"). This feature is intended solely as a convenience mechanism for users who independently manage multiple accounts, and does not alter or reduce any of the risks described in this document.
14a. Amplified Financial Risk
Because Echo replicates trades across multiple accounts, any losses sustained on a given trade are similarly replicated across all Mirrored Accounts. Users should fully understand that:
A single erroneous signal can trigger simultaneous losses across every connected account.
The aggregate financial exposure across all Mirrored Accounts may substantially exceed the exposure of any single account.
Leverage and margin requirements vary by account and broker; a trade that is permissible in one account may be declined or partially executed in another, leading to inconsistent position states.
14b. Proprietary Trading Firm (Prop Firm) Account Risk
Many users may connect prop firm evaluation or funded accounts to the Echo feature. Users are expressly warned that:
Prop firm accounts are subject to strict drawdown, daily loss, and position-size rules that vary significantly by firm. A trade replicated to a prop account that violates those rules may result in immediate account disqualification or termination.
ClearEdge Automation does not have access to, and does not monitor, the rules or account status of any prop firm account. It is the user's sole responsibility to ensure that any replicated trades comply with the applicable prop firm's trading rules.
Losing multiple prop firm accounts simultaneously as a result of Echo usage is a foreseeable risk and one for which ClearEdge Automation bears no liability.
14c. Software Error Risk Across Multiple Accounts
Software errors, signal misfires, connectivity interruptions, and broker-side failures may occur. When using Echo, the consequences of any such event are multiplied by the number of Mirrored Accounts. ClearEdge Automation:
Does not guarantee that all Mirrored Accounts will receive or execute the same signal simultaneously.
Is not liable for partial fills, missed executions, or duplicate executions across Mirrored Accounts.
Strongly recommends that users monitor all connected accounts in real time during any active Echo trading session.
14d. User Acknowledgment for Echo
By enabling the Echo feature, the user confirms that they have read and accepted the Echo Feature Disclosure Agreement and understand the amplified risks described herein.
15. Changes to This Document
We may update this Important Disclosures document to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on our website (clearedge.trading). Continued use of the Service after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated terms.
