Legal
Risk disclaimer.
The short version: this is education, not advice, and trading can cost you money. Read the rest before you buy anything.
Educational purpose only
Everything on this site — the system, the PDFs, the blog, the charts, the backtests — is published for educational and informational purposes. None of it is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.
Trading involves substantial risk
Futures, options, and leveraged products carry a substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for every investor. You can lose more than your initial deposit. Only trade capital you can afford to lose entirely.
No performance guarantee
Backtested and historical results shown on this site were produced on NQ 5-minute charts and are presented as-is. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Backtested results have inherent limitations — they are produced with the benefit of hindsight and do not account for slippage, commissions, outages, or the psychology of live execution.
No individual advice
I am not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or CTA. Nothing on this site is tailored to your financial situation. Consult a licensed professional before making trading decisions.
Your results are your own
Any trade you take is your decision and your responsibility. Buy The Close accepts no liability for losses arising from the use of any material published here or included in the system.
Affiliate disclosure
The reading list on the Books page contains Amazon Associate links. If you buy through one of them, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. It does not influence which books are listed.
