Disclaimers

Last Updated: 2/9/2026

1. Educational Purposes Only

Matson Capital Group provides educational content on algorithmic trading system design.

All courses, templates, blog posts, and materials are for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this website or in our products constitutes financial, investment, trading, or legal advice.

2. Not Financial Advice

MCG is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial institution. We do not provide personalized financial advice or recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any securities or instruments.

You are solely responsible for your own investment and trading decisions. Consult with a licensed financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

3. Risk of Loss

Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Futures, options, and other derivatives trading can result in losses exceeding your initial investment.

Only trade with capital you can afford to lose. Do not trade with money needed for living expenses, retirement, or other critical purposes.

4. No Guaranteed Results

We do not guarantee specific results, profits, or performance from using our courses or materials.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any historical backtests, examples, or case studies shown are for educational purposes and do not guarantee similar outcomes in live trading.

5. Hypothetical Performance

Any hypothetical or simulated performance results shown in our materials have inherent limitations, including:

• Backtests assume perfect execution and zero slippage
• Results may not reflect real-world market conditions
• Hypothetical results do not account for psychological factors of live trading
• Overfitting and lookahead bias may inflate simulated returns

6. No Signals or Recommendations

MCG does not provide trading signals, specific buy/sell recommendations, or "done-for-you" trading systems.

We teach you to build your own systems—what you choose to trade and how you execute is entirely your decision and responsibility.

7. Software and Code Limitations

Any code templates, notebooks, or software provided are for educational use and may contain bugs, errors, or limitations.

Test thoroughly before deploying in live trading. We are not liable for losses caused by software errors, broker API failures, or other technical issues.

8. Third-Party Services

Our materials may reference third-party brokers, data providers, and tools. We are not affiliated with or responsible for the performance, availability, or terms of third-party services.

9. Regulatory Compliance

You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to:

• Securities and derivatives trading regulations
• Tax reporting and obligations
• Anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements

10. CFTC Rule 4.41

HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS.

Unlike actual performance records, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since trades have not been executed, results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact of certain market factors. Simulated trading programs are designed with the benefit of hindsight and do not guarantee future performance.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MCG and its owners, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

• Use or inability to use our products
• Trading losses or financial damages
• Errors or omissions in our materials
• Third-party service failures

12. Changes to Disclaimers

We reserve the right to update these disclaimers at any time. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated disclaimers.
