Risk disclosure

Please read this before you use SizeOps. It applies to everything on this website, the program, the demos and our emails.

Trading is risky

• Forex, CFDs, futures, gold and indices are traded with leverage. A small move against you can cost a lot, and on some products you can lose more than you deposited.
• Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

SizeOps is a tool, not advice

• SizeOps works out position sizes and manages orders by the settings you choose. It doesn't give advice, signals or trade ideas, and it doesn't decide anything for you.
• Every trade is your decision and your responsibility.

The numbers depend on your inputs and your broker

• A size is only as right as what goes into it: your risk settings, your stop, and your broker's data (contract size, tick value, lot step, margin).
• Sizes are rounded down to what your broker allows, so the risk can come out a little below your setting.
• Check your settings, and try SizeOps on a demo account before you use it on a live one.

Planned risk vs actual loss

SizeOps sizes your position so the planned loss at your stop doesn't exceed the risk you set. Your actual loss can still be larger: spread widening, slippage, price gaps (news, weekends), commissions and swaps, delayed or rejected orders, and platform or connection problems can all make it impossible to exit at your stop.

Stops and targets aren't guaranteed

Orders can fill at a worse price than set (slippage), prices can jump past a level (gaps), and a broker can reject an order. Your platform, your internet connection or our license server can also fail or slow down. Any of these can change the result of a trade.

Prop firms

Following a prop firm's rules is up to you. SizeOps, including a license with more than one trading account, isn't linked to any prop firm, and it doesn't guarantee that you pass an evaluation or keep a funded account.

Examples and demos

• The examples on this website, including the chart where you drag the lines, are illustrations. They don't show real trades or real results.
• Hypothetical or simulated results have limits: they're made with hindsight and without real money, slippage or emotions, so real trading can turn out very differently.
• Any testimonials we show may not be typical. Your results may differ.

Who we are not

SizeOps isn't a broker, a financial adviser or an investment firm, and it isn't regulated as one. We don't hold or handle your trading money.
