Risk Disclosure

Effective: April 27, 2026  |  Operator: Q Signals (sole proprietorship, Massachusetts)

Trading and investing involve substantial risk, including possible loss of principal. Q Signals is a research tool, not a guarantee engine. This document supplements (and is incorporated into) the Terms of Service v2.0 and Disclaimer.

Market risk

Prices can move sharply because of earnings, macroeconomic surprises, liquidity shocks, sentiment reversals, and geopolitical events. Even strong-looking setups can fail quickly.

Model risk

Signals are based on statistical and rule-based models that can overfit, degrade, or underperform in new market regimes. Reinforcement-learning progress does not eliminate model drift.

Data and uptime risk

Q Signals depends on upstream market and news providers. Delays, outages, missing filings, or stale data can affect displayed outputs, rankings, targets, and outcome evaluation.

Backtest risk

Backtests are hypothetical and can differ materially from live results because of slippage, liquidity, timing, survivorship effects, and behavioral execution differences.

Options and leveraged products

Options, leveraged ETFs, and high-volatility instruments carry elevated risk, including rapid decay, gap risk, assignment risk, and amplified losses. These products are not suitable for every user.

Crypto and wallet risk

The Q token is a utility/discount mechanism, not an investment contract. Holding any crypto asset exposes you to extreme volatility, total loss, smart-contract failure, network outages, validator slashing, exchange insolvency, and irreversible transaction errors. Q Signals never has access to your private keys, seed phrases, or signing material; loss of those by you is permanent and unrecoverable.

AI-generated content risk

Some outputs (chat, summaries, options ideas) are generated by large language models that can hallucinate, misread filings, miscalculate Greeks, or invent tickers. Always verify before acting.

User responsibility

Only trade with capital you can afford to lose, use your own risk controls, and consult licensed professionals when needed. By using Q Signals you accept all of the above risks and agree to the limitation of liability in the Terms of Service.
