Risk disclosure

Shadow Edge Tools LLC (“Shadow Edge Tools”) builds software for NinjaTrader 8. We are a software vendor, not a broker, an introducing broker, a CTA, a financial advisor, or a signal service. Nothing on this site or in our products is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Read this disclosure in full before purchasing or using any Shadow Edge Tools product.

Futures and forex trading risk

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Only risk capital — money you can afford to lose without affecting your financial security or lifestyle — should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical and simulated performance (CFTC Rule 4.41)

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, because the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.

Any Sim, Replay, backtest, or demo content shown on this site or in our product documentation is illustrative only. The Discipline Score™, Stat Sheet figures, example trades, and any P&L shown in screenshots or videos are examples, not results you should expect to achieve.

What our software does — and does not — do

Our tools help you plan trades, size positions from a fixed-dollar risk, attach protective orders, monitor account-level risk, and measure your own execution behavior. They do not predict the market, generate trade signals, or guarantee any outcome. You decide what to trade and when.

We are deliberately explicit about what the tools cannot do:

• Brackets can fail or slip. Protective orders depend on your broker connection, exchange acceptance, and market conditions. Markets gap, brokers reject orders, and connections drop. A stop is not a guaranteed fill price.
• Order Lock is a discipline aid, not a kill switch. It cannot block every possible order-entry path on every NinjaTrader configuration. Broker apps, hotkeys, and other add-ons can route around it.
• Auto Flatten can slip, reject, or fail. It depends on NinjaTrader running and connected. In fast markets it can fill far from the trigger price. It is a safety net, not a guarantee, and never a substitute for broker-side or firm-side risk enforcement.
• Prop firm rules change.Built-in rule presets are provided for convenience and may not reflect your firm's current rules. Always confirm rule values with your firm.

No guarantee of results

No representation is made that using Shadow Edge Tools will prevent losses, keep a funded account alive, pass a prop firm evaluation, or produce any particular result. Trading outcomes depend on factors outside our control, including your decisions, your broker, your prop firm, and the market.

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and for verifying that any tool behaves as you expect before risking real money. Test every product in Sim before using it on a live or funded account. If something is wrong with an order, position, or account, use your broker's Control Center or support desk first — our software is one layer of a defense-in-depth setup, not the only layer.

Third-party platforms and data

Our products run inside NinjaTrader 8 and may rely on third-party market data (such as Kinetick) and broker connections. We are an independent software vendor and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NinjaTrader, Kinetick, any prop firm, or any broker. Some platform links on this site are affiliate links; Shadow Edge Tools may receive compensation if you open or fund an account through them, at no additional cost to you.
