Nothing contained in any report, newsletter, website, email, video, or communication from Commodity Lab should be construed as personalized investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument, including but not limited to securities, futures, commodities, currencies, or derivatives.

Commodity Lab is not a registered investment advisor (RIA), broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor (CTA), or any other financial professional registered with the SEC, CFTC, FINRA, NFA, or any other regulatory agency in any jurisdiction. Commodity Lab does not offer personalized advice, discretionary trading, or signal-based trading services.

No Warranties or Guarantees

All information is provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Commodity Lab makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any data, research, commentary, or analysis. There is no guarantee that any strategy, pattern, setup, or statistical tendency discussed will produce profits or prevent losses. All data and examples are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual results or market conditions.

Please note: Commodity Lab has made data-related mistakes in the past, including but not limited to errors in data cleaning, processing, interpretation, and presentation. While we strive for accuracy, we make no guarantee that future errors will not occur. Data handling involves human judgment and third-party dependencies, and as such, mistakes—while unintentional—are possible. Users should independently verify any critical figures or conclusions before relying on them for trading or investment purposes.

CFTC Rule 4.41 Hypothetical Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact of certain market factors such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are designed with the benefit of hindsight.
No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

Any backtested data or hypothetical performance shown is for educational illustration only and should not be considered indicative of actual future performance. You should not assume that any information presented will result in profitable trading outcomes.

Market Risk Disclosure

All forms of trading — especially commodities, futures, and currencies — involve substantial risk. You can lose part or all of your initial capital. You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Leverage can amplify both gains and losses. No trading method or research product is risk-free. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Third-Party Data and Sources

Some data, charts, or content may rely on third-party sources such as exchanges, historical pricing providers, or data aggregators. While we believe these sources to be reliable, Commodity Lab makes no guarantees regarding their accuracy, completeness, or ongoing availability. We are not responsible for errors, omissions, or delays in data or for any actions taken based on that data.

All readers are strongly encouraged to consult with a qualified financial advisor or perform their own independent research before acting on any information presented. Statistical results may differ based on data sources, methodologies, sample sizes, timeframes, and data curation methods used. You should verify any figures independently before using them as the basis for a trade or investment decision.
