Terms of Service

1. Financial Loss and Risk Disclaimer

BY USING ANTTRADER, YOU EXPLICITLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TRADES EXECUTED ON YOUR BEHALF.

AntTrader connects to external broker APIs (such as Binance) and places trade orders at your request. The platform is not an investment fund, registered brokerage, or certified financial advisor. We do not guarantee profits, execution speeds, or protection against slippage. Under no circumstances shall AntTrader, its authors, or its operators be liable for any direct or indirect financial losses, liquidated portfolios, or transaction fees incurred through your usage of the platform.

2. Staging and Closed Alpha Status

This platform is currently provided in a closed alpha staging phase. Services, databases, and background connection loops may experience outages, downtime, or database resets as sprints are deployed. Uptime, correctness of mock trades, or real-time websocket synchronization cannot be guaranteed. We strongly recommend configuring API credentials linked exclusively to Testnet (paper trading) broker accounts during this staging period.

3. User Credentials & Absolute Supervision

AntTrader enforces a strict Human-in-the-Loop protocol. The platform will never place a market or limit order without your explicit, manual authorisation on the Pending approvals queue. You are solely responsible for ensuring your API keys have appropriate permissions restricted to Spot/Margin trading, and that Withdrawal privileges are permanently disabled on the exchange portal.

3a. Portfolio Selection and Execution Channel

Every approved signal requires you to select a target portfolio and to confirm a responsibility statement. The selected portfolio's environment (PAPER, TESTNET, or LIVE) and attached broker credential determine the execution channel. You are solely responsible for selecting the correct portfolio. AntTrader may reject orders when a ticker is incompatible with the selected portfolio (for example, an equity ticker sent to a Binance portfolio), but you remain fully responsible for any order executed against a portfolio you chose.

4. No AI Fiduciary Duty

The AI components (including the AntAssist multi-agent debate and the Google ADK-powered Trader Advisor) generate recommendations using probabilistic algorithms. They do not have fiduciary duty, and their reports are synthesized for educational context, historical reference, and cognitive coaching. You must execute independent verification before authorizing any trade order.

5. Acceptable Use and Scope

Staging access is granted for personal, non-commercial testing and evaluation purposes. You agree not to exploit connection endpoints, reverse-engineer execution loops, scrape data, probe for vulnerabilities, or load test APIs in a manner that degrades service quality for other staging users.

Any attempt to interfere with, damage, gain unauthorised access to, or misuse AntTrader infrastructure, APIs, or connected third-party services may result in immediate suspension of your account, referral to law enforcement or regulatory authorities, and civil or criminal legal action. AntTrader maintains automated monitoring, logging, and rate-limiting mechanisms to detect and investigate such activity.

6. Fees and Billing

During the closed alpha staging period, AntTrader does not charge subscription, platform, or per-trade fees. You remain responsible for all fees, commissions, spreads, funding costs, and transaction charges imposed by the broker or exchange to which you connect.

Should AntTrader introduce paid plans or platform fees in the future, the applicable fee schedule will be published on this page at least 30 days before any charges take effect. Continued use of the platform after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated fees.
