Strategy LABTM – Terms & Disclaimer
By requesting access to Strategy LABTM, you confirm you have read and accepted the following in full. The site-wide disclaimer applies as well.
What you are buying
You are buying a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Strategy LABTM and our indicators on TradingView for the length of your subscription. You are not buying the software itself, its source code, or any ownership of it. We keep all rights to it.
How subscriptions work
Subscriptions run monthly or yearly and do not renew automatically. There is no recurring charge and no card on file. When your end date arrives, access stops.
This matters if you are trading. Access ending is not gradual and there is no grace period. If you have positions open and your subscription lapses, you will lose the use of these tools while those positions are still running. Renew well before your end date, and do not depend on access continuing past it. We are not responsible for losses arising from an expired subscription, however they came about.
Paying and getting access
Subscriptions are paid in USDC or USDT, to the wallet address we give you. After paying, you contact us on Discord with the wallet address you paid from and your TradingView username, so we can match the payment to you and grant access.
Access is granted manually by a person, not automatically, so allow a reasonable amount of time. If you send the wrong amount, pay from an address you do not tell us about, or give us the wrong TradingView username, we may not be able to identify or reach you.
Crypto payments are irreversible. Check the address and the network before sending. Funds sent to a wrong address or network cannot be recovered and are not our responsibility.
Refunds
All payments are final and non-refundable. Access is granted immediately after payment is confirmed, and once it is granted it cannot be returned.
If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, you normally have 14 days to cancel a digital purchase. Because access is delivered right away, we ask you to confirm at the time of purchase that you want it delivered immediately and that you understand you lose that cancellation right once it is. If you are not willing to confirm that, please do not buy.
Licence and what you may not do
The licence is for you alone. Access is personal and non-transferable. You may not share, resell, sublicense, rent or give away your access, or use it on behalf of anyone else. Scripts are invite-only and may not be published or redistributed to people who have not paid for them.
You may not attempt to copy, decompile, reverse engineer or recreate our indicators or Strategy LABTM, whether by hand or using automated tools, and you may not use screenshots, exported settings or other material taken from them to build a competing product.
Ending access
Sharing access results in immediate termination without refund. We may also suspend or end your access without refund if you break these terms in any other way, or if we stop offering a product, in which case we will give you reasonable notice.
Not financial advice
Strategy LABTM is a software tool. Nothing in the tool, the indicators, the documentation, or anything said by Candle Effect staff or members in our Discord constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. We are not licensed financial advisors. Every trading decision you make is your own.
Backtest results are not predictions
Backtests are historical simulations. They do not account for real slippage, spread, exchange fees, funding rates, partial fills, or liquidity at the moment of execution, and they can be unintentionally over-optimised to past data. A profitable backtest is not evidence that a strategy will be profitable live. Expect live results to differ from backtested results.
Trading risk
Cryptocurrency trading involves substantial risk of loss. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses and can result in liquidation of your entire position. DCA and safety-order strategies increase exposure as price moves against you, which increases risk rather than reducing it. You can lose more than you expect to lose, up to and including your entire account balance. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose entirely.
Software is provided “as is”
Strategy LABTM is provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied, and is a decision support tool rather than a system that guarantees a profit. Despite testing, the software may contain bugs, errors, or unexpected behaviour. Signals may fire when they shouldn't, fail to fire when they should, duplicate, or arrive late. Updates may change how existing settings behave. We make no guarantee of accuracy, uptime, or fitness for any particular purpose.
You are responsible for your configuration
You choose the pair, timeframe, indicators, order sizes, safety-order count, step settings, take-profit rules, and leverage. Incorrect or untested settings can produce unintended orders and significant losses. Always test on a demo or paper account, and start with the smallest size your exchange allows, before running any strategy with real funds.
Monitor your positions
Automation does not remove your responsibility. You are expected to monitor your open positions and your bot. If something behaves unexpectedly, stop the bot and close positions manually. Do not leave an untested strategy running unattended.
Third-party platforms
Strategy LABTM depends on services we do not own or control:
TradingView. Our indicators run there. Alerts can be delayed, dropped, rate-limited, or stopped entirely. TradingView may change its alert or webhook behaviour, suspend your alerts, or stop supporting the features our tools rely on, at any time. Alert limits depend on your TradingView plan.
Astrabit. Order execution, bot configuration, exchange connection, and API handling are entirely Astrabit's. We do not control how or whether your bot executes a received signal.
Your exchange. Outages, maintenance, API failures, order rejections, liquidations, and slippage are outside our control.
Candle Effect is not responsible for any loss caused by the failure, downtime, delay, error, or change of policy of any third-party platform, and we do not promise any level of uptime.
Access and security
Candle Effect never has access to your funds, your exchange accounts, or your API keys, and will never ask for them. Keep API withdrawal permissions disabled. Any staff member who asks for keys, seed phrases, or a transfer of funds is an impersonator — report them immediately.
Support
Support covers installation, settings, and tool behaviour. It does not include strategy design, market analysis, entry or exit calls, or any guidance on what to trade. We do not manage accounts or trade on anyone's behalf.
Eligibility
You confirm you are of legal age in your jurisdiction and that using automated crypto trading tools is lawful where you live. Compliance with local law and tax reporting is your responsibility.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Candle Effect and its operators accept no liability for any trading loss, missed opportunity, liquidation, data loss, or damages of any kind arising from the use of, or inability to use, Strategy LABTM — whether caused by software fault, third-party failure, or user error. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Changes
These terms may be updated, as may our prices. Changes apply from the date shown at the top of this page, and continued use after an update constitutes acceptance. A price change never affects a subscription you have already paid for.
