4. Third-Party Data Sources

QuantLink aggregates data from multiple third-party data providers, including but not limited to third-party financial data providers. See our Data Attribution & Sources page for complete attribution details.

Each third-party data provider has its own methodology for collecting, processing, and distributing data. QuantLink does not independently verify the accuracy of data received from these providers and is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in third-party data.

5. Past Performance

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS

PAST PERFORMANCE OF ANY SECURITY, INVESTMENT STRATEGY, INDEX, OR MODEL PORTFOLIO IS NOT A GUARANTEE OR INDICATOR OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. THE HISTORICAL RETURNS AND PERFORMANCE DATA PRESENTED ON QUANTLINK ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS AN INDICATION OF FUTURE RESULTS.

Any backtested, historical, or simulated performance results displayed on the Service have inherent limitations. Unlike actual trading records, backtested results do not represent actual trading. Since trades have not actually been executed, results may under- or over-compensate for the impact of certain market factors, including but not limited to lack of liquidity, slippage, commissions, fees, and market impact.


6. Risk Warnings

TRADING AND INVESTING INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS

TRADING STOCKS, OPTIONS, FUTURES, FOREX, CRYPTOCURRENCIES, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. YOU COULD LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTED CAPITAL. DO NOT INVEST MONEY YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE.

Before investing or trading, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, financial situation, and risk tolerance. You should be aware that:

  • The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the original amount invested
  • Leveraged products (options, futures, margin trading) can result in losses exceeding your initial investment
  • Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and unregulated in many jurisdictions
  • Past performance, model outputs, and backtested results do not guarantee future performance
  • Market conditions can change rapidly and without warning
  • Tax implications of trading and investing vary by jurisdiction and individual circumstances

7. AI and Machine Learning Output Disclaimer

QuantLink utilizes artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning ("ML") technologies, including AI Deep Research, AutoML, and other algorithmic tools, to generate analyses, research reports, predictions, and other outputs ("AI Outputs").

AI Output Limitations

AI Outputs are algorithmically generated and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any investment, financial, or trading decision.

You acknowledge and understand that:

  • AI Outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, or hallucinations. AI and ML models are probabilistic and may generate outputs that appear plausible but are factually incorrect or misleading
  • AI Outputs are not investment advice. No AI Output constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security
  • AI models have inherent limitations. They are trained on historical data, which may not predict future events or market conditions. Models may contain biases from training data
  • AI Outputs may become stale. Market conditions change rapidly, and AI analyses generated at a specific point in time may not reflect current market conditions
  • AutoML model outputs represent statistical patterns found in historical data and do not guarantee that such patterns will repeat in the future
  • AI-generated research reports are not a substitute for professional research conducted by licensed analysts or financial professionals
  • You are solely responsible for evaluating the appropriateness and accuracy of any AI Output before relying on it

8. Technical Analysis Limitations

Technical analysis tools, indicators, and charting features available on QuantLink are provided for informational purposes only. Technical analysis is based on historical price and volume data and attempts to identify patterns that may suggest future price movements.

You should be aware that:

  • Technical analysis is subjective and different analysts may draw different conclusions from the same data
  • Past patterns do not guarantee future price movements
  • Technical indicators can produce false signals, particularly during unusual market conditions
  • Technical analysis does not account for fundamental changes in a company's business, management, or competitive environment
  • No single technical indicator or combination of indicators can reliably predict market movements

9. Hypothetical Performance and Backtesting Disclaimer

Certain features of QuantLink, including factor models, screening tools, and AutoML, may display hypothetical or backtested performance results. HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS.

UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE 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 PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

  • Backtested results are calculated by retroactively applying a trading strategy to historical data
  • Backtesting does not account for real-world trading constraints including transaction costs, slippage, market impact, liquidity limitations, and execution delays
  • The selection of time periods, parameters, and securities for backtesting can significantly influence results (survivorship bias, look-ahead bias, overfitting)
  • Hypothetical results should not be interpreted as predictions or guarantees of future performance

10. CFTC Rule 4.41 — Hypothetical Performance Disclaimer
