Disclosures

Effective May 14, 2026

This page lists the material disclosures we want you to know about as a Trade Tracer subscriber. It supplements, and is incorporated by reference into, our Terms of Service, Risk Disclosure, and Privacy Policy.

1. Founder & personnel trading; conflicts of interest

Trade Tracer's founder, employees, contractors, and other personnel (collectively, "Personnel") may from time to time hold long or short positions in the same securities, options, derivatives, or other instruments that appear in scanner output, AI-generated reports, the Pulse, Founder Picks, the Tracer Line, the Anchor Line, or other Content published by the Service.

Anti-front-running commitment. Personnel do not trade ahead of subscribers based on non-public knowledge of Service Content. Featured setups, Founder Picks, the daily scanner output, and other published Content are released to all subscribers at the same time. Personnel do not establish or adjust positions on the basis of pre-publication access to Service Content with the intent of front-running subscribers.

Independent decisions. Where Personnel hold a position in a security or instrument that also appears in Service Content, the Personnel's trading decisions are made independently from the Service's mechanical scanner output and AI-generated reports. Personnel may decline to act on Service Content, may exit positions before subscribers do, and may take views opposite to those reflected in Service Content. Personnel's individual results are not representative of any subscriber's experience.

No co-investment, no signal-following service. Trade Tracer does not pool subscriber funds, does not manage subscriber accounts, does not place trades on subscriber accounts, does not offer a "copy-trade" or "signal-following" service, and does not represent that Personnel positions or trading results forecast subscriber outcomes.

2. Compensation, affiliate, and referral relationships

Subscription revenue. Trade Tracer's primary source of revenue is paid subscriptions to the Service. We are paid by you, not by third parties for influencing what we publish.

No paid placements in Content. Trade Tracer does not accept payment, securities, free positions, free services, or other compensation from issuers, broker-dealers, exchanges, or other third parties in exchange for the inclusion of any ticker, instrument, or theme in scanner output, AI reports, or other Content. The Service's coverage decisions are made independently.

Affiliate and referral links. Trade Tracer may from time to time include affiliate or referral links (for example, to brokers, charting platforms, or other tools we use ourselves). Where any such link generates compensation to Trade Tracer if you sign up or transact, that fact will be clearly disclosed at the point the link appears in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 C.F.R. Part 255). We will not include affiliate links to tools or services we do not ourselves consider trustworthy.

Advertising. Trade Tracer does not run third- party advertising on the Service. We do not sell advertising inventory and do not allow third parties to place ads on the Service.

3. Performance claims; methodology

Any quantitative claim about past signal performance, hit rate, win rate, profit factor, average return, drawdown, or other performance metric appearing on the Service or in marketing material is subject to the methodology described in this section and the limitations described in Section 4 of our Risk Disclosure.

  • Universe. Unless otherwise specified, the underlying universe is the S&P 500 plus the Nasdaq 100, with thematic additions when relevant. Tickers in the universe may change over time.
  • Signal definition. Performance figures are computed against the published mechanical definition of the relevant signal (for example, the Tracer Line, the Anchor Line, the 3+2+1 scanner) as it existed on the trade date under review. The model evolves; figures generated under prior model versions may not be reproducible under the current model.
  • Hypothetical performance. Where performance is computed via backtest rather than live trading, the limitations described in Section 4 of the Risk Disclosure apply: no slippage, no liquidity constraints, no execution cost, no taxes, hindsight bias, and survivorship bias may all be present.
  • No survivorship-bias correction guaranteed. Backtest universes may include tickers that survived to the present and may exclude delistings.
  • No specific result is achievable. Aggregate performance does not predict any individual subscriber's outcome. Markets change; strategies that worked in past regimes may fail in future regimes.

Where a specific performance figure is published, that publication will state the universe, the time period, and the signal definition used to compute it. If material details are missing from a published figure, treat the figure as illustrative only and do not rely on it.

4. Artificial-intelligence usage

Trade Tracer uses third-party large language models (currently Anthropic's Claude family) to generate explanatory written commentary, regime reads, and setup analyses from market data we provide to the model. The AI does not place trades, does not select tickers for inclusion in the scanner, does not set Tracer Line or Anchor Line values, and does not make decisions about your access to credit, insurance, employment, or any other significant legal or contractual right.

What the AI sees. The model is provided ticker symbols, scanner output, market data, options-derived levels, and aggregate market context. The model is not provided your personal information, account details, brokerage holdings, or any other personally identifiable information.

What the AI produces. A written report, regime read, or other prose that interprets the model's inputs. AI outputs may contain factual errors, internally inconsistent statements, outdated information, or fabricated content ("hallucinations"). AI outputs are general-purpose educational commentary, not investment advice, not recommendations, and not predictions.

5. Data sources

Market data, options data, and reference data are provided by third-party data vendors, including without limitation Polygon.io (and its successor entities). Such data may be delayed, inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable. Trade Tracer makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of any third- party data. Cross-check any Content with your broker, your exchange, and other reputable sources before acting on it.

6. Updates to these Disclosures

We may update these Disclosures from time to time as our relationships, methodology, or data partners change. Material updates will be communicated by email to the address associated with your account when reasonably possible. The version in effect at the time of your visit to the Service is the version posted here.
