AI Disclaimer & Risk Disclosure

CRITICAL NOTICE: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

By using MyTradeLog, you acknowledge and accept all risks outlined in this disclaimer.

This document explains the limitations, risks, and important considerations when using AI-powered analysis for trading decisions.

Last Updated: December 1, 2025

1. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE

What This Means

MyTradeLog does NOT provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals.

  • AI analysis is for educational and informational purposes only
  • AI recommendations should NOT be your sole basis for trading
  • You are 100% responsible for all trading decisions
  • You should consult with a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions

Our Limitations

We ARE:

  • A tool for analyzing your trading data
  • A journal for tracking your performance
  • A platform for understanding your trading patterns

We are NOT:

  • A financial advisor
  • A broker or trading platform
  • Responsible for your trading results

2. AI HALLUCINATION & ACCURACY RISKS

What Is AI Hallucination?

AI "hallucination" occurs when an AI model:

  • Invents data that doesn't exist in your trades
  • Claims patterns without sufficient evidence
  • Makes confident-sounding but false statements
  • Misinterprets trade data or metadata

Real Examples of Hallucinations

  • "Trade_47 entered SOL at $145" (Trade 47 was ETH at $2800, not SOL)
  • "Your best token is DOGE" (You never traded DOGE in uploaded data)
  • "You win 70% of Tuesday trades" (You had only 1 Tuesday trade)
  • "Your average win is $500" (Your actual average is $250)

Why This Happens

  • AI trains on massive datasets and sometimes fabricates details
  • AI can misinterpret your trade data or notes
  • AI may extrapolate beyond the data available
  • AI doesn't always understand context or nuance

How We Mitigate Hallucination

We've implemented:

  1. Validation Layer: AI outputs are fact-checked against your actual trade data
  2. Confidence Thresholds: AI won't claim patterns with <70% confidence
  3. Data Completeness Checks: AI acknowledges when data is incomplete
  4. "Verify" Button: You can flag inaccurate claims, which we review

However, we CANNOT guarantee hallucinations won't happen. Always verify AI claims against your actual trade data.

3. DATA LIMITATIONS & GAPS

Incomplete Trade History

  • AI can only analyze trades you've manually uploaded or auto-imported
  • If you've traded for 2 years but only uploaded 6 months of trades, AI won't see the bigger picture
  • Missing data = incomplete analysis

Incomplete Trade Records

  • AI relies on data you provide for each trade
  • If you don't record all details (entry price, exit price, token, date), AI can't analyze those trades accurately
  • Incomplete records = less reliable analysis

Survivorship Bias

  • AI only analyzes closed trades
  • It does NOT see:
    • Open positions (still in trade)
    • Liquidated positions (stopped out 100%)
    • Abandoned positions (never closed)
  • Result: If you liquidate trades often, your actual success rate may be much lower than AI reports

Insufficient Sample Size

  • With only 10 trades, patterns are weak and unreliable
  • AI may claim patterns that are just coincidence
  • General rule: You need 50+ trades for reliable patterns

4. LIMITATIONS OF TRADE ANALYSIS

What AI CAN Do

  • Identify trading patterns (e.g., "You lose more on certain tokens")
  • Find timing patterns (e.g., "Your 2am trades underperform")
  • Detect strategy weaknesses (e.g., "Your SOL perp trades have 20% win rate")
  • Provide performance insights

What AI CANNOT Do

  • Predict future market movements
  • Guarantee profitability
  • Replace professional financial advice
  • Understand your personal risk tolerance
  • Know your full financial situation
  • Diagnose why you make specific decisions

5. NO FINANCIAL PREDICTIONS

AI Does NOT Predict Markets

Important: MyTradeLog does NOT forecast:

  • Token prices going up or down
  • Market trends
  • Volatility changes
  • When to enter or exit trades
  • Which tokens will pump or dump

Any claims that past analysis predicts future performance are false and risky.

Past Performance ≠ Future Results

  • Historical patterns do NOT guarantee future success
  • Markets change; what worked before may not work again
  • New regulations, market structure changes, and sentiment shifts invalidate old patterns

6. CRYPTOCURRENCY & TRADING RISKS

Extreme Volatility

  • Cryptocurrency prices can swing 20-50% in hours
  • You can lose your entire investment quickly
  • No asset class is riskier than crypto derivatives (perps, shorts, leverage)

Liquidation Risk

  • On leveraged trades (perps, margin), a small price move = instant liquidation
  • You can lose 100% of collateral in seconds
  • MyTradeLog does NOT track liquidations well if you don't manually log them

Irreversible Transactions

  • Blockchain transactions are permanent
  • Sending funds to the wrong address = permanent loss
  • Scams and rug-pulls happen constantly

Regulatory Risk

  • Crypto regulation is still evolving
  • Your favorite token or exchange might be banned overnight
  • Tax laws for crypto are complex and changing

MyTradeLog cannot protect you from any of these risks.

10. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISKS

By Using This Service, You Acknowledge:

  • You understand crypto trading is high-risk
  • You may lose your entire investment
  • AI analysis can be inaccurate or hallucinate
  • This is NOT financial advice
  • You alone are responsible for trading decisions
  • Past performance does NOT guarantee future results
  • You have read this entire disclaimer

You Accept:

  • All risks of using AI analysis
  • All risks of cryptocurrency trading
  • All risks of data breaches or security incidents
  • All responsibility for your losses

11. BEFORE YOU TRADE BASED ON AI ANALYSIS

Checklist:

  • Have I verified the AI claim against my actual trade data?
  • Is this pattern based on 50+ trades (not just 5-10)?
  • Does this insight make sense to me?
  • Have I considered the downside risk?
  • Would I feel comfortable losing this money?
  • Have I consulted with someone I trust?
  • Is the confidence level >80%?

If you answer "NO" to any question, DO NOT TRADE based on that AI insight.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • We are NOT liable for losses resulting from AI analysis
  • We are NOT liable for trading decisions you make
  • We are NOT liable for AI hallucinations or errors
  • We are NOT liable for data breaches (though we try to prevent them)
  • Our total liability is capped at what you paid us (max $100 USD)

FINAL STATEMENT

MyTradeLog is a powerful tool for understanding your trading patterns and analyzing your performance.

But it is NOT:

  • A guarantee of profits
  • A replacement for your judgment
  • Financial advice
  • A substitute for professional guidance

Use it wisely. Verify AI claims. Manage your risk. And remember: the market can hurt you regardless of how good your analysis is.

I have read and understand this disclaimer. I accept all risks of using MyTradeLog.
