Effective Date: July 28, 2025 | Last Updated: October 15, 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), and replicates trades you place by hand where you have configured Copy trading or Echo. 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.
Whether the Service runs on a ClearEdge-provided virtual private server (VPS) or on hardware of your own, interruptions may occur due to hardware, software, network, or broker-side issues.
The Service is updated from time to time, normally during the daily market break. Your positions remain at your broker during an update or restart, but for that period the Service is not monitoring them and is not acting on new signals. An exit signal that fires during a restart may not reach your broker, and a trade placed on a Copy trading Leader, or a press on an Echo pad, may not reach the accounts that follow it.
6. Third-Party Services
ClearEdge Automation integrates with third-party brokers, proprietary trading firms, and signal platforms (e.g., TradingView, Trendspider), and provides access to strategies and signal channels offered by third parties through the ClearEdge Marketplace. 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. Execution Environment and User Control
ClearEdge Automation runs as a dedicated instance of the software rather than as a shared, multi-tenant cloud service. Depending on how your service is set up, it runs either on a dedicated virtual private server (VPS) provided by ClearEdge as part of your subscription, with an IP address assigned to you alone, or on a computer or VPS of your own if you run the desktop application. Where ClearEdge provides the VPS, we handle its provisioning and maintenance. In either case you are responsible for:
Protecting your ClearEdge account credentials, your broker credentials, and any API keys from unauthorized access.
Where you run the desktop application on hardware of your own, ensuring that computer or VPS meets the technical requirements for running the Service and remains powered, updated, and connected.
Maintaining your own records of your trading configurations and of your account activity, independently of the Service.
8. Subscription and Cancellation
ClearEdge Automation is offered as a monthly or annual 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. Your subscription includes access to the ClearEdge Marketplace; individual Marketplace strategies and signal channels are offered by their providers and are purchased and billed separately from your subscription.
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. Marketplace and Third-Party Strategies
ClearEdge Automation provides access to a Marketplace of trading strategies and signal channels offered by third parties, and allows you to run strategies you have written or obtained yourself. Your subscription includes access to the Marketplace; individual strategies and signal channels are offered by their providers and are purchased and billed separately. No trading strategies are included with a ClearEdge Automation subscription.
These strategies and signal channels are provided for informational purposes only. They are not created, endorsed, verified, or guaranteed by ClearEdge, and ClearEdge does not review their logic, their past results, or their suitability for your account or your risk tolerance. You assume all risks associated with using any third-party strategy or signal channel, and with any strategy of your own.
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.
An account must be run in one place at a time. Running the same broker account in the desktop application and in the ClearEdge console simultaneously will cause both to act on the same signal, producing duplicate orders and a position larger than you intended. Neither system can see the other's orders, so neither one's risk limits reflect your true exposure. Stop an account in one before starting it in the other, and confirm it has stopped.
The Service's built-in risk controls — including any daily loss limit, profit target, and cap on open positions — are a safeguard, not a guarantee. They cannot be enforced while the Service is restarting, updating, or otherwise unavailable, or where a broker rejects or delays an instruction. Keep your broker's or prop firm's own risk controls configured as an independent backstop.
Trade journal, statistics, and P&L reporting within the Service are provided for your convenience and may be incomplete or delayed. Your broker's statements are the record of your account, not the Service.
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.
Policy Update (Effective August 7, 2026): ClearEdge Automation is updating its Broadcast policies as part of an ongoing effort to align the platform with applicable regulatory standards. Effective as of the date above, Broadcast signals are authorized for routing to Simulated Accounts only. A "Simulated Account" includes any proprietary firm evaluation (challenge) account and any proprietary firm funded-trader account in which orders execute in a simulated environment and are not routed to a live exchange or market. Broadcast signals may not be routed to any Live Account, meaning any cash, margin, retail brokerage, or funded live account in which orders are routed to a live exchange or market and real capital is at risk. A proprietary firm funded account that trades simulated funds is permitted; a proprietary firm funded live account that routes real capital to a live exchange is prohibited. This update applies to all Broadcasters and Followers, and to signal channels subscribed to through the ClearEdge Marketplace. Certain general-platform disclosures in this document were written prior to the launch of the Broadcast feature; where any prior language conflicts with this Broadcast-specific policy, this Section 13 controls with respect to Broadcast. This simulated-accounts-only policy applies to Broadcast alone. It does not apply to Copy trading or to Echo, which are described in Section 14 and which replicate your own trades into accounts you own.
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, including in the ClearEdge Marketplace, 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.
Broadcast signals may only be routed to Simulated Accounts, meaning proprietary firm evaluation (challenge) accounts and proprietary firm funded-trader accounts in which orders execute in a simulated environment and are not routed to a live exchange or market. Broadcast signals may not be routed to any Live Account, meaning any cash, margin, retail brokerage, or funded live account in which orders are routed to a live exchange or market and real capital is at risk. A proprietary firm funded account trading simulated funds is permitted; a funded live account trading real capital is not. The Follower is solely responsible for ensuring the account connected to any Broadcast they follow is an eligible Simulated Account.
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.
Broadcasters may broadcast only for routing to Simulated Accounts, including proprietary firm evaluation (challenge) accounts and proprietary firm funded-trader accounts that execute in a simulated environment. Broadcasters may not direct or encourage Followers to route Broadcast signals to any Live Account, meaning any cash, margin, retail brokerage, or funded live account in which real capital is routed to a live exchange or market. A proprietary firm funded account trading simulated funds is permitted; a funded live account trading real capital is prohibited.
14. Copy Trading and Echo Disclosures
IMPORTANT: Copy trading and Echo replicate your own trades across multiple accounts simultaneously. Losses can be multiplied proportionally across every connected account. Use with extreme caution.
ClearEdge Automation offers two features that replicate trades you place by hand across multiple accounts you own:
Copy trading lets you designate one of your own accounts as a "Leader" and trade it by hand, with every position that account opens, adds to, or closes replicated automatically to the other accounts you have connected to it ("Followers"). Each Follower may be configured with its own instrument — the Leader's contract, or its mini or micro equivalent — and its own size, expressed as a multiple of the Leader's size or as a fixed number of contracts.
Echo is a trading pad: within an Echo session you press Buy, Sell or Flatten once, and every account carrying that Echo signal takes the trade at its own size ("Mirrored Accounts").
Both features are intended solely as convenience mechanisms for users who independently own and manage multiple accounts of their own, on supported and compatible broker and proprietary trading firm platforms, and neither alters or reduces any of the risks described in this document. Neither is a signal-sharing service, and neither is authorized for replicating your trades into any account belonging to another person; doing so may require registration with the CFTC, the NFA, or another regulator, and compliance is your sole responsibility. Unlike Broadcast, these features are not restricted to Simulated Accounts. Each feature is governed by its own agreement: the Copy Trading Disclosure and User Agreement, and the Echo Feature Disclosure and User Agreement.
14a. Amplified Financial Risk
Because these features replicate trades across multiple accounts, any losses sustained on a given trade are similarly replicated across every connected account. Users should fully understand that:
A single erroneous trade on a Leader, or a single press on an Echo pad, can trigger simultaneous losses across every connected account.
The aggregate financial exposure across all connected accounts may substantially exceed the exposure of any single account, and a size multiplier greater than one increases a Follower's loss beyond the Leader's.
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.
Where a connected account is configured on a mini or micro contract, its exposure will not correspond exactly to the trade you placed.
Where you use both features, your aggregate exposure is the sum of what each has opened.
14b. Proprietary Trading Firm (Prop Firm) Account Risk
Many users may connect prop firm evaluation or funded accounts to these features. Users are expressly warned that:
Prop firm accounts are subject to strict drawdown, daily loss, and position-size rules that vary significantly by firm, and some firms restrict or prohibit replicating the same trades across multiple accounts outright. 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. The Service's own per-account limits are set by you and are not derived from, and do not reflect, your prop firm's rules. 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 Copy trading or Echo is a foreseeable risk and one for which ClearEdge Automation bears no liability.
14c. Software Error and Feature State Risk
Software errors, signal misfires, connectivity interruptions, and broker-side failures may occur. When trades are replicated, the consequences of any such event are multiplied by the number of connected accounts. ClearEdge Automation:
Does not guarantee that all connected accounts will receive or execute the same trade simultaneously or at the same price.
Is not liable for partial fills, missed executions, or duplicate executions across connected accounts.
Routes replicated trades in one direction only, and does not confirm back that a trade was received, executed, or filled in any individual account.
Does not copy anything, including exits, while a Copy trading Leader is in a NOT LEADING state, and does not begin copying a Leader that already holds a position in a copied instrument until that position has closed (WAITING FOR FLAT).
Does not close any open position when a Follower is removed, an instrument is unticked, a Leader is stopped, or an Echo session is ended. Those positions remain at your broker and must be managed by you.
Shows, on an Echo pad, the position you have sent rather than what any individual account holds; a Max Position setting caps the pad, not your aggregate exposure.
Strongly recommends that users monitor every connected account in real time during any active Copy trading or Echo session.
14d. User Acknowledgment
By using Copy trading or Echo, the user confirms that they have read and accepted the agreement applicable to that feature, that they own and control every account they connect, and that they 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.
