19. Disclaimer regarding hypothetical performance results

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are mentioned below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of the trading losses are material points, which can also adversely affect trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the market in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

20. Third-party software

Our software, website and/or services may include software components supplied by third parties which are utilized by permission of the respective licensors and/or copyright holders on the terms provided by such parties ("Third-party software"). TrendTicker expressly disclaims any warranty or other assurance to you regarding third-party software. Please note that your use of the third-Party software will be governed by the terms and conditions of use and privacy policies of the third-party software providers and not by these Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy.

21. Publications — no recommendation or advice status

The information and publications are not meant to be, and do not constitute, financial, investment, trading, or other types of advice or recommendations supplied or endorsed by TrendTicker.

Any statement of view (which may be subject to change without notice) is the author's personal opinion, and the author makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of any information or analysis provided.

The authors and TrendTicker are not liable for any losses incurred as a result of any investment made on the basis of any perceived recommendation, forecast, or other information presented here.

The contents of these publications should not be interpreted as an express or implicit promise, guarantee, or indication by TrendTicker that customers will profit or that losses in connection with them can or will be limited if they rely on the information provided.

22. Data Accuracy and Delays

Stock price data provided through TrendTicker is sourced from Yahoo! Finance and may be delayed up to 48 hours from real market conditions. Our proprietary ranking calculations are based on previous day's closing prices and historical data analysis. TrendTicker makes no guarantee regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the data provided.
