17Disclaimer

Trading foreign exchange, CFDs and cryptocurrency carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for every investor. You can lose more than your initial deposit. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses.

TYO develops and publishes automated trading software. We do not provide investment advice, portfolio management or trading signals, and nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.

No Expert Advisor, algorithm or optimisation guarantees profit. Any performance figure shown on this site is historical and does not guarantee, imply or predict future results.

Backtest results are simulations. Live results differ due to spread, slippage, commission, liquidity, execution speed, requotes, broker conditions and market regime changes.
