Terms of Use and Risk Disclosure

1. Eligibility and permitted use

You must be at least 18 and legally able to use this service. TickSPY is a free research and educational tool. Use it lawfully, respect provider terms, and do not attempt to compromise the service, extract credentials, evade limits, or resell third-party data.

2. Educational purpose and information only

TickSPY is for educational and informational purposes only. The desk shows market information, indicators, patterns, statistical estimates, and general machine-generated commentary so you can learn and do your own research. None of it is investment, financial, trading, legal, or tax advice, a personalized suitability assessment, or an offer, solicitation or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold a security, and it is not a substitute for advice from a licensed professional who knows your circumstances. TickSPY does not execute trades, hold funds, or create an advisory, brokerage, dealer, or fiduciary relationship.

3. Trading risk

Trading can result in loss of all capital. See the full Risk Disclosure before making any decision. Leverage, margin, short sales, and options can produce losses exceeding deposits. You are responsible for your decisions. Verify information independently and consult a qualified professional where needed; do not rely on this desk alone for trading decisions.

4. Prices and third-party rights

Keyless mode loads a bundled replay file. The current bundled files are generated demonstration data, not real market prices. If replaced with verified HF Data Library data, the source is IEX-only exchange data, not a consolidated quote or NBBO. Connecting your own Alpaca keys enables data available under your account and feed entitlements. Data may be delayed, incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate.

Market data and headlines belong to their providers and licensors. Access to a public endpoint, delayed data, or attribution does not itself grant redistribution rights. These terms grant no licence to reproduce, redistribute, sell, or publicly display third-party content. Provider restrictions apply to your use, and Tickspycorp remains responsible for obtaining any permissions required for its own operation. Brand names identify providers and imply no endorsement.

5. Estimates, AI, and hypothetical results

Indicators and models summarize past data and may have little or no predictive skill. A bias score is not a probability. Volatility estimates and directional labels may be wrong. Backtests are simulated, cover limited samples, and exclude commissions, spreads, slippage, taxes, financing, and other real-world costs. Past and hypothetical performance do not indicate future results.

The shared AI overview is generated from public headlines and calendar entries. It may contain inaccuracies, fabricated statements, outdated material, or source bias; verify its claims at the original sources. Visitors cannot send prompts to this model through TickSPY.

6. Credentials and privacy

Optional Alpaca credentials and preferences are stored in your browser and credentials are sent directly to Alpaca. Use Paper-account keys, keep them private, and remove or revoke them if compromised. Local storage is not encrypted by TickSPY. See the Privacy Policy for contact messages, hosting logs, providers, and privacy rights.

7. Availability, warranty, and liability

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, Tickspycorp makes no guarantee of accuracy, availability, security, or fitness for a particular purpose and is not responsible for losses resulting from reliance on data or model output. Outages and provider changes can interrupt features.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including applicable protections concerning intentional or gross fault, bodily or moral injury, or mandatory consumer rights. Your statutory rights remain available.

8. Changes and severability

Features and these terms may change. Updated terms appear here with a new date; review them before continued use. If a clause cannot be enforced, the remaining clauses apply to the extent permitted by law.

9. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Québec and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, subject to mandatory protections and jurisdiction rights that apply where you live. This clause does not remove any non-waivable consumer rights.

10. Learning exercises and research tools

Exercises are user-input arithmetic and schematic illustrations, not live quotations or individualized risk limits. Position-size examples omit buying-power limits, fills, slippage and other costs. Estimated volume profiles assign each candle's volume to a representative price and do not reconstruct actual trade-by-trade volume.

Market Structure uses fixed, experimental rules for regimes, compression, confirmed pivots and adaptive CUSUM alarms. Its Recalculate control is not model training. Historical studies group completed, non-overlapping return windows by their starting regime; they are descriptive summaries, not trading simulations, calibrated probabilities or independently validated forecasts. Small samples, dependence, missing bars and trying multiple settings can mislead. Studies on generated sample data are demonstrations only. Training in the separate Volatility tab fits a model to the available history, not to your personal circumstances. Mathematical correctness and source references do not establish predictive accuracy, endorsement or regulatory approval.
