We provide trading indicators and technical analysis tools exclusively for TradingView. Our indicators are designed to assist with market analysis but are not intended as financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals. Trading involves significant risk, and many participants may incur losses. All trading decisions are made at your own risk and discretion.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or profitability of any indicators provided. Technical indicators are tools that may assist in decision-making but do not guarantee profits or prevent losses. Past performance of indicators or trading strategies is not indicative of future results. Market conditions can change rapidly, and indicators may produce false signals.
Decisions to buy, sell, hold, or trade securities, commodities, cryptocurrencies, or other financial instruments carry inherent risks and are best made with guidance from qualified financial professionals. You should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite before making any trading decisions. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose, as market volatility can result in substantial losses.
Indicators are based on historical price data and mathematical calculations. They may not account for all market factors, including fundamental analysis, news events, or sudden market changes. No single indicator or combination of indicators can guarantee successful trading outcomes. Users are responsible for understanding how indicators work and making their own trading decisions.
