Hypothetical Performance Disclosure
Last updated: June 18, 2026
Trading apps listed on TradingApps.ai are independent, unaffiliated software programs that contain objective rules to analyze data, generate signals, or automate actions. No customized trading advice or recommendation is made by these products or by TradingApps.ai. Any results a developer presents must be labeled by basis — live, backtested, hypothetical, or simulated — as required across the marketplace.
Hypothetical performance results
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED 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 THE 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 TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS 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.
Backtested & simulated results
Backtested and simulated results share these limitations. Backtests are constructed after the fact and may benefit from hindsight, data selection, and optimization (“curve-fitting”). Simulated or paper-trading results do not involve real capital, real order execution, slippage, liquidity constraints, or the psychological pressures of live trading, and therefore may differ materially from live results.
No guarantee of results
Past performance — whether live, backtested, hypothetical, or simulated — is not necessarily indicative of future results. Apps on TradingApps.ai are tools only and do not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and any resulting losses.
