Legal · trading risk disclosure

Risk Disclosure — you control every live trade.

EMI is an intelligence engine — software that processes public information into structured trade ideas and, where enabled, transmits a specific order plan that a customer has reviewed and confirmed. EMI is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, custodian, or fiduciary. Nothing on this site is individualized investment advice.

1. Not individualized advice or management

Alerts, casefiles, EMI Book entries, blog posts and dashboard data are educational and informational. They do not consider your individual financial situation, objectives, holdings or risk tolerance. Connecting a broker does not make EMI your adviser, fiduciary or portfolio manager.

Where a customer-directed order tool is available, you choose whether to act and choose the quantity. EMI transmits only the plan you preview and explicitly confirm. After submission, EMI does not modify, cancel, trail, resize or manage that live customer order or position. Monitor it directly with your broker and consult a qualified, licensed professional before making an investment decision.

2. Connected Brokers and Customer Orders

EMI may provide tools that allow a user to review and transmit an order to a connected brokerage account. This functionality does not make EMI your investment adviser, portfolio manager, fiduciary or broker.

EMI does not determine whether a trade is suitable for you. EMI does not know your complete financial position, investment objectives, liquidity needs, tax circumstances or ability to withstand loss.

Every order is initiated and authorized by the customer. You decide whether to trade and how much to trade. You must independently review the instrument, direction, quantity, entry, stop, target, order type and time in force before confirming.

Robinhood Agentic is a live-money product in which an authorized AI agent may be capable of placing trades without a separate broker prompt. EMI’s current Robinhood connection performs pairing and capability verification only; it does not submit an order. If EMI enables customer order submission, EMI will continue to require its own explicit customer confirmation before calling an order tool.

Broker execution may differ from EMI’s displayed plan because of market movement, stale or delayed data, liquidity, spreads, slippage, commissions, fees, outages, order-routing rules, partial fills, rejected protective orders and other factors outside EMI’s control.

A stop order does not guarantee an exit at the stop price. Bracket and OCO functionality varies by broker and instrument. Protective orders may be rejected or may not activate as expected.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, EMI does not manage a customer’s live position after an order has been submitted. EMI’s internal or simulated trade management may therefore produce a different result from the customer’s brokerage account.

Trading based on an EMI alert is entirely at your own discretion and risk. You may lose some or all of the capital committed to a trade. Leveraged products may result in losses greater than the amount initially invested.

3. Markets carry risk

Trading equities, options, futures, forex and cryptocurrency involves substantial risk of loss, up to and including total loss of capital. Leveraged products (options, futures, perpetuals, margined forex) can lose more than the initial amount risked. Only trade capital you can afford to lose.

4. Past performance and EMI Book

EMI Book is a signal-quality ledger based on truth-qualified internal lifecycle outcomes. It is not a customer brokerage statement, daily portfolio return or proof that a customer order filled. Normalized dollars use a stated model-risk assumption and are not realized customer P&L. Live results differ because of timing, slippage, commissions, fees, taxes, liquidity, rejected or partial orders and the customer's own quantity and execution. Past performance — modeled, paper or live — is not indicative of future results.

5. Order and protective-stop risk

A displayed entry, target, stop or amber managed-stop line describes EMI's current internal plan unless the page explicitly shows a verified broker-native order. It is not a guarantee of execution or loss limitation. Markets can gap through stops; stop orders can become market orders; stop-limit orders may not execute; bracket or OCO legs may be rejected, cancelled, delayed or left unavailable after a partial fill. Quotes can become stale between preview and submission.

Your broker owns acceptance and execution. If EMI, the broker or the network is unavailable, an order state may be delayed or unknown. Check the broker directly before retrying so you do not create a duplicate order.

6. Sources and accuracy

EMI processes data from SEC EDGAR, news vendors, options-flow providers, on-chain feeds and prediction markets. We make best efforts to verify each source, but we do not guarantee accuracy, completeness or timeliness. You should not rely on EMI as your sole source of information for any trade.

7. Customer responsibility and no solicitation

Nothing here is an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security, derivative, currency or digital asset. You are responsible for understanding the instrument, confirming account eligibility and permissions, choosing quantity, checking buying power or margin, reviewing every broker confirmation and statement, and managing any accepted order or open position.

8. Asset-class specifics

  • Options. Read the OCC's Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before trading any option.
  • Futures. Futures involve substantial leverage. Read your broker's risk disclosures.
  • Forex. Margined currency trading carries leverage risk and is not suitable for everyone.
  • Crypto. Digital assets are highly volatile, may trade continuously, vary by jurisdiction, and may lack the protections available for regulated securities accounts.

9. Broker and jurisdiction limits

Broker connection and order features vary by provider, account, product and jurisdiction. Provider availability does not mean the product is lawful or suitable for every customer. EMI may block or withdraw a connection or order path for provider, security, legal, reconciliation or duplicate-order risk. Paper, practice and testnet environments are not live accounts and cannot prove live execution readiness.

10. Beta software

EMI is in beta. Software defects, stale data, delayed receipts, provider outages and interface errors can occur. Never rely on EMI as the only place you monitor a live order or position. A beta warning or risk acknowledgement does not guarantee a functioning stop, complete bracket, available market or recoverable loss.

11. Forward-looking statements

Anything on this site that isn't a description of past or current state is forward-looking and subject to change. EMI's signals reflect the model's current understanding, which is bounded by available data and updated cycle-to-cycle.

12. Do your own homework

Always. Then do it again.
