1EdgeProof is software, not advice
EdgeProof is a self-hosted software tool that you install, configure, and operate on your own computer. It reads messages from Discord channels you select, applies rules you configure, and submits orders to a brokerage account you control using API keys you provide. You are the sole operator of the software and the sole decision-maker for every configuration choice.
EdgeProof does not tell you what to buy or sell. It does not recommend securities, strategies, channels, or trade sizes. The ranking, scoring, and automation features reflect rules and thresholds you set and historical data from your own account. They are informational tools, not recommendations.
2We are not a broker, adviser, or fiduciary
EdgeProof ("we," "us") is not a registered broker-dealer, not a registered investment adviser, not a commodity trading advisor, and not a financial planner. We do not provide investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Nothing on this website, in the software, or in any communication from us constitutes a recommendation to enter into any transaction or an offer to buy or sell any security.
We have no fiduciary relationship with you. We do not manage your account, do not hold your funds or securities, and do not have custody of or access to your brokerage account or its credentials. Your brokerage relationship is solely between you and your broker (Alpaca). Your relationship with any Discord channel is solely between you and that channel.
3Non-custodial software
EdgeProof is non-custodial. We never hold, receive, transmit, or take custody of your funds, securities, or brokerage credentials. Your API keys stay in a file on your own machine, and orders are sent directly from your machine to your own broker. We also do not originate the trade ideas: every signal comes from Discord channels you choose and subscribe to, not from us.
Registration requirements for broker-dealers and money transmitters generally apply to firms that hold or transmit customer funds, and investment-adviser regulation generally applies to firms that provide personalized investment advice for compensation. Because EdgeProof does neither, we do not believe those registration requirements apply to us. This is our good-faith position, not a determination by any regulator, and it is not legal advice. You are responsible for your own compliance with the laws that apply to you.
4You are responsible for your trades
Every order EdgeProof submits results from configuration you chose and automation you enabled. You are solely responsible for:
- Which Discord channels you monitor and whether they are lawful and reliable sources
- The rules, position sizes, caps, and exit conditions you set
- Reviewing all activity and maintaining suitable risk controls
- Determining whether options or securities trading is appropriate for your situation
- Compliance with your broker's terms, applicable law, and the terms of any Discord community you participate in
5Options carry specific risks
Options are not suitable for all investors. Options trading can result in the rapid and complete loss of the premium paid and, for certain strategies, losses exceeding the initial investment. Before trading options you should read the Options Clearing Corporation disclosure document, Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, and understand assignment, expiration, liquidity, and time-decay risk.
6Past performance is not indicative of future results
Any performance figures shown on this website are illustrative placeholders and do not represent the results of any real account. Tournament scores, per-source P&L, win rates, and any historical data generated by the software describe past outcomes on your own account only. Past performance, whether real or hypothetical, does not guarantee or predict future results. A source that was profitable will not necessarily remain profitable.
7Automation and technology risk
Automated trading carries risks that manual trading does not. EdgeProof relies on third-party services (Discord, your broker, your local language model) and on your own hardware, network, and configuration. Any of the following can cause missed trades, duplicate trades, wrong trades, or losses:
- Incorrect extraction of a signal from informal or ambiguous text
- Software bugs, crashes, or unexpected behavior
- Outages, latency, or rate limits at Discord, your broker, or your machine
- Stale market data, gaps, halts, or fast-moving markets
- Misconfiguration, including incorrect keys, caps, or channel selection
The software is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind. You are responsible for testing thoroughly in paper mode and for monitoring the software while it runs.
8No guarantee of profit
We make no representation or warranty that use of EdgeProof will be profitable or will not result in loss. Trading is inherently risky. The majority of retail traders who trade options and short-dated instruments lose money. You should assume you may lose the entire amount of capital you allocate.
9Eligibility and jurisdiction
EdgeProof is intended for use by individuals who are at least 18 years old, legally permitted to trade securities and options in their jurisdiction, and who maintain their own eligible brokerage account. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the software is lawful where you live and trade.
