Risk Disclosure

Trading in equities, derivatives, and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Read this disclosure carefully. By using Nithi Trade you confirm you understand and accept the risks below.

1. You can lose more than you invest

Derivatives trading (futures and options) can result in losses exceeding the capital you deployed, particularly in leveraged positions. Cash equity losses are capped at your invested capital but can still be 100% of the position.

2. Past performance does not guarantee future results

Paper-trading P&L is simulated. It includes modelled slippage and the same execution path as live trading, but real-market conditions (liquidity gaps, partial fills, broker-side rejections, news-driven volatility, etc.) may produce materially different results. Backtests and historical signals reflect curated past data and may not generalise to future markets.

3. The algorithm can be wrong

The Platform's engine produces buy / sell / hold calls based on statistical models of past market behaviour. These calls can — and regularly do — turn out to be wrong. On flat or trending-against-you days the engine may produce zero actionable signals; on volatile days it may generate signals that fire and immediately reverse. Both outcomes are expected behaviour, not malfunctions.

4. Not investment advice

Nithi Trade is not a SEBI-registered investment advisor. Nothing produced by the Platform — signals, explanations, news digests, charts — is investment advice. We do not assess your individual financial situation, goals, or risk tolerance. All trading decisions are yours alone.

5. Technical and operational risks

Software bugs, network outages, broker downtime, and exchange disruptions can result in missed fills, partial executions, or unintended positions. We make commercially reasonable efforts to monitor and maintain the Platform but provide no guarantee of uninterrupted operation. See Terms of Service §7 for our limitation of liability.

6. Counterparty risk

Orders are routed to Zerodha Kite Connect. Your funds and securities are held by Zerodha under their custodial terms, not by Nithi Trade. We do not custody funds or securities at any point.

7. Tax

Capital gains, short-term gains, and intraday-trading income are taxable under Indian law. The Platform does not file taxes on your behalf and does not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional.

8. Suitability

You should consider whether algorithmic trading is appropriate for you if:

• You can afford to lose 100% of your trading capital;
• You understand the products you are trading (equities, futures, options);
• You are emotionally prepared for drawdowns and have a long-enough horizon;
• You have set conservative risk limits (per-position size, daily loss cap).

If any of these doesn't apply, please use only paper-trading mode or consult a SEBI-registered investment advisor before activating live trading.
