RoboLab Terms Of Use

Last revised: May 16, 2017

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to RoboLab. RoboLab is both a web-based platform and a community. As a platform, it’s a place to write and test trading algorithms. As a community, it’s a place to meet other algorithm writers and to share algorithms, tools, ideas, strategies, and trading experiences. By sharing algorithms and other content, members of the RoboLab community can use, adapt, and learn from each other. Your access and use of RoboLab, including your use and adaptation of algorithms and other content accessible shared by other members of the RoboLab community are subject to the Terms of Use set forth below.

We encourage you to share your algorithms and other content you own, and we encourage you to use, adapt, and learn from others’ shared algorithms and other content. You may, however, decide to keep private some or all of the algorithms that you write and test on RoboLab. If you choose to keep some or all of your algorithms private, we will respect that decision, subject to our Privacy Policy and these Terms of Use. You can access our Privacy Policy through the privacy policy link posted at the bottom of our home page https://robolab.bellcapital.xyz or by going directly to https://robolab.bellcapital.xyz/policies#privacy.

AGREEMENT

RoboLab is a trade name of Bell Capital Ltd (“Bell Capital”, “us” or “we”). These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between Bell Capital Ltd and you (“you”), the individual listed in the account registration form the completion of which requires you to click the applicable “I Agree” box, and sets forth the terms and conditions that govern your use of robolab.bellcapital.xyz (the “Site”) and/or any related services (the “Services”) accessed through the Site. Through the RoboLab platform, we intend to provide supplemental services (“Supplemental Services”) in addition to the basic Services available to all registered users of RoboLab (“Basic Services”). In these Terms of Use we use the term “Services” to also include both the Basic Services and any Supplemental Services for which you register. Your use of any Supplemental Services may be subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”). We will list any Supplemental Terms in these Terms of Use or will present to you for your consideration and, if satisfactory to you, acceptance when you register to use the applicable Supplemental Services. If any of these Terms of Use are inconsistent with any Supplemental Terms applicable to any Supplemental Services, the Supplemental Terms will take precedence with respect to your use of such Supplemental Services.

We refer to these Terms of Use and any applicable Supplemental Terms as the “Agreement.” We may update or amend these Terms of Use and any applicable Supplemental Terms from time to time by posting such updates or amendments to the Site. Your use of the Site or any applicable Supplemental Services after we post any such updates or amendments will constitute your agreement to those updates or amendments.

THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS OF USE AND ANY SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS BEFORE ACCESSING THE SITE OR USING ANY OF THE SERVICES. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR IF YOU CANNOT REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS THE SITE OR USE ANY OF THE SERVICES AND SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CEASE SUCH ACCESS AND USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO ANY SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS THE SITE TO USE SUCH SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES AND SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CEASE SUCH ACCESS AND USE.

1. Limited License; Use of Services.

Unless otherwise specified, Bell Capital grants to you a non-exclusive and non-transferable limited right and license to access the Site and use the Services for your personal use or for your internal business purposes (but not on behalf of any third party) provided that you agree with and comply fully with the provisions of this Agreement. Certain features of the Site or Services are available only to users who register for a RoboLab account (“Registered Users”).

You acknowledge and understand that we provide tools and infrastructure designed to allow you to learn, create, test, and use your algorithms and algorithmic trading strategies. To be clear, we do not provide the algorithms and strategies, but rather the tools to create them and the data with which you can test and use them. You can create your own algorithms or use algorithms made available on the Site as Shared Content (as defined below). Our responsibility for your algorithms or your use of algorithms provided as Shared Content is only as provided herein.

2. Accounts, Passwords and Security.

To become a Registered User, you must complete the registration process by providing Bell Capital with current, complete and accurate personally identifiable information, including, without limitation, your real name and the email address through which we can correspond with you, as prompted by the applicable registration form. You further agree to keep any registration information you provide to Bell Capital current, complete and accurate. Please read our Privacy Policy, which is available at https://robolab.bellcapital.xyz/policies#privacy, for more information about our information collection and use practices. Individuals under the age of 13 are not permitted to register for any account or use other interactive features of the Site. As part of the registration process, you are asked to select a username and password. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account information, including your username and password. FURTHERMORE, YOU ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES AND CONDUCT, WHETHER BY YOU OR ANYONE ELSE, THAT ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT. We may hold you liable for any losses incurred by Bell Capital or any other party due to someone else’s use of your account or password. You agree to notify RoboLab immediately upon your becoming aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security involving your account. Bell Capital will not be liable for any loss that you or any other party may incur as a result of someone else’s use of your password or account, either with or without your knowledge.

3. Prohibited Activities.

We use the term “Content” to mean entire or partial algorithms, code and code segments, trading strategies, data transformations, data analysis and manipulation functions, tools, software, data, databases, text, messages, images, graphics, video files, audio files, ideas and other information and materials. We use the term “Shared Content” to mean the Content (other than third party data) that we, you, or other Registered Users of RoboLab post in publicly accessible areas of the Site and Services. Third party data is subject to the terms and conditions of the provider of such data. Other than as provided at the end of this Section in respect of Shared Content, you acknowledge and agree that you will not:

copy, modify, publish, transmit, distribute, transfer or sell, create derivative works of, or in any way exploit, any of the Content accessible through the Site not submitted or provided by you, including by use of any robot, spider, scraper, scripting, deep link or other similar automated data gathering or extraction tools, program, algorithm or methodology, unless you obtain Bell Capital’s prior written consent;

Notwithstanding the prohibition on any of the above activities, we want to foster a community where Registered Users exchange and share Content that they have the right to make public. Accordingly, you are permitted to copy, modify, use, comment on and / or republish, both on and off the Site and Services, reasonable amounts of Shared Content for purposes consistent with our mission to help people write, test and improve their algorithms or for other personal use (unless Bell Capital has expressly agreed to other use in writing.) If you do copy, modify, comment on or republish Shared Content posted by another Registered User or RoboLab, you must (a) attribute authorship of that Shared Content to such Registered User or RoboLab and (b) provide the link to the appropriate URL on the Site at which you accessed the Shared Content. All comments that you post to the Site should be respectful of others and in all cases subject to the restrictions and guidelines of good behavior outlined in this Section 3. To be clear, the license to copy, modify and / or republish any Content that you have not authored is limited to the Shared Content for the above-stated purposes and use. You are not permitted, and are expressly prohibited from copying, modifying, and republishing the Content of RoboLab and its other Registered Users except as expressly permitted above. Should a question arise in the future as to what does or does not constitute Shared Content, or how it may be used, you may contact us per the last bullet of Section 16 of this Agreement. We also reserve the right to provide public or individual notice about this issue and in any case RoboLab’s decision about Shared Content will control.

We reserve the right to cancel your account with us, without any notice to you as provided in Section 19, if we suspect any violation of any of the terms of this Agreement.

4. No Liability for Shared Content or Third Party Content.

A portion of the Content contained on the Site or Services not in the nature of Shared Content may be supplied by third parties (“Third Party Content”), including, without limitation, information providers, advertisers, and Registered Users. RoboLab is a distributor (and not a publisher) of such Third Party Content. Except to the extent that RoboLab seeks to enforce its rights under any of the terms of this Agreement, RoboLab does not have editorial control over any Shared Content or Third Party Content. Any reliance you place on Shared Content or Third Party Content is therefore at your own risk. Any Shared Content, Third Party Content, including, without limitation, such Content in the nature of opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information, expressed or made available on the Site or through the Services are those of the respective authors or distributors thereof, and not RoboLab. Neither Bell Capital nor any third-party provider or distributor of information on or through the Site or Services guarantees, endorses, or is otherwise responsible or liable for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, availability, or usefulness of any Content accessible through the Site or Services. Bell Capital / RoboLab may remove any Content suspected to be in violation of the terms of this Agreement.

5. Proprietary Rights.

You retain ownership of all Content you submit, post, display, or otherwise make available on the Site or Services.

Unless you choose to share your Content, we will use reasonable best efforts to keep your Content private. Bell Capital will not review, share, or otherwise make use of private Content except as specifically provided in our Privacy Policy or this Agreement. With respect to this Agreement, Bell Capital may access, review, share, or otherwise make use of private Content in the following circumstances (including in source code or similar form):

If necessary in the course of providing technical support or other maintenance of the Services; provided that, wherever possible, any access by Bell Capital for technical support or maintenance purposes will be restricted to the very specific technical purpose relevant to such support or maintenance;
In order to comply with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements or court order;
In the event that we consider, in our discretion, that such Content may present a security risk;
In the event that we consider, in our discretion, that such Content may constitute an infringement or misappropriation of any third party right; or
In the event that we consider, in our discretion, that such Content may be relevant to Bell Capital’s defense in any legal proceeding.

Bell Capital is seeking high-quality strategies to invest in. Towards that end, we may review the results of your backtests and live trading. We may review the performance and other “data exhaust” of your Content. Such performance information includes, but is not restricted to, returns and risk measurements of any backtest or live trading executed with the Content. We may generate additional performance data from your Content for the purposes of (a) verifying that software platform changes do not change or break your algorithm or (b) analyzing standardized performance results. Any testing or evaluation will be done with the spirit and intent of protecting your Content.

We may share anonymized and/or aggregated algorithm performance statistics with third parties. Any such external or third party usage of performance data will not be made when such usage of performance data would reveal the details and workings of the underlying Content.

You may choose to share your Content on the Site and Services by posting it in public areas of the Site and Services. By so posting any of your Content in public areas of the Site and Services, you hereby grant to us and other Registered Users a worldwide, sublicensable, assignable, royalty-free, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to make, have made, use, reproduce, modify, translate, distribute, transmit, create derivative works of, perform, display, import, and otherwise exploit, without the requirement to make any payment to you or the need to seek any third party permission, such Content in any form, media, or technology, whether now known or hereafter devised or developed, and to allow others to do the same, but at all times, in accordance with RoboLab’s Privacy Policy. You represent that (i) you have the legal right to provide the Content to RoboLab for purposes of your grant of the license you have granted to Bell Capital / RoboLab and other Registered Users in the preceding sentence of this paragraph and (ii) all Content is true, accurate, current and complete, including the information about your accounts maintained at other web sites, as requested in our “add account” setup forms.

You acknowledge and agree that Our Intellectual Property is the sole property of Bell Capital or its licensors. You must abide by all copyright notices, information, or restrictions contained in or attached to any of Our Intellectual Property. Nothing in this Agreement grants you any right to receive delivery of a copy of Our Intellectual Property or to obtain access to Our Intellectual Property except as generally and ordinarily permitted through the Site according to this Agreement. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to grant, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, a license to Our Intellectual Property. Certain of the names, logos, and other materials displayed on the Site or in the Services constitute trademarks, trade names, service marks or logos (“Marks”) of Bell Capital or other entities. You are not authorized to use any such Marks. Ownership of all such Marks and the goodwill associated therewith remains with us or those other entities. Any use of third party software provided in connection with the Site or Services will be governed by such third parties’ licenses and not by this Agreement.

6. Feedback.

In the event that you provide us any ideas, thoughts, criticisms, suggested improvements or other feedback related to our Site or Services (collectively “Feedback”), you agree we may use the Feedback to modify our products and services and that you will not be due any compensation, including any royalty related to the product or service that incorporates your Feedback. You grant to us a worldwide, sublicensable, assignable, royalty-free, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to make, have made, use, reproduce, modify, translate, distribute, transmit, create derivative works of, perform, display, import, sell, offer for sale, make, have made and otherwise exploit, without the requirement to make any payment to you or to any third party or the need to seek any third party permission, the Feedback in any form, media, or technology, whether now known or hereafter devised or developed, and to allow others to do the same. This is true whether you provide the Feedback in any Content submitted publicly or privately, email or any other method of communication with us unless we have entered into a separate written mutual agreement with you that provides otherwise.

7. Social Networks.

In using certain Services, you authorize us to act on your behalf to access and interact with social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter (any such site, a “SN Site”) to retrieve Content and information from, and/or submit information to, such SN Sites at your request. We will not collect your username and password for any such SN Site, and we will instead store the unique authorization code (or a “token”) provided to us by the SN Site to access it on your behalf. You can revoke our access to an SN Site at any time by amending the appropriate settings from within your account settings on that site and/or on our Site. You should note that an SN Site may change or amend its guidelines and our access to it at any time, and we cannot guarantee that our Services will always include a connection to such SN Site. Further, you may be able to edit your privacy settings for the Content that you post which appears on SN Site by making selections in your “Edit Profile” settings via the Site and Services. You represent and warrant that you will comply at all times with the relevant terms and conditions of any SN Site in using our Site and Services. You also agree to follow each SN Site’s code of conduct (where applicable) when interacting with content from and posting Content to such SN Site and to file an abuse report with the applicable SN Site for Content which violates the code of conduct or terms of use for that third party site.

We are committed to your privacy and security. For more information, you should review our Privacy Policy at https://robolab.bellcapital.xyz/policies#privacy.

We do not warrant that your information will be secure.

THE DISCLAIMERS SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US AND YOU.

10. Investment Disclaimer.

You acknowledge and understand that the Services are not intended to supply investment, financial, tax or legal advice. The Services are not investment advice and any observations concerning any security, trading algorithm or investment strategy provided in the Services is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold such investment or security or to make any other investment decisions. We offer no advice regarding the nature, potential value, risk or suitability of any particular investment strategy, trading algorithm, transaction, security or investment. You acknowledge and agree that any use of the Services, any decisions made in reliance on the Services, including any trading or investment decisions or strategies, are made at your own risk.

If investment, trading or other professional advice is required, the services of a competent, licensed professional should be sought. No employee, agent or representative of Bell Capital is authorized to provide any such advice pursuant to this Agreement, and any such advice, if given, is in violation of RoboLab’s policies, is unauthorized and may not be relied upon.

Any order and/or execution trading services you may use in connection with the Services are provided by independent broker-dealers and not by RoboLab / Bell Capital. In order to use the Services to enter orders for the purchase and sale of securities and/or to implement any investment strategy or trading algorithm, you must have an existing brokerage account with such a broker-dealer or establish one. We are not a broker-dealer and we are not affiliated with any broker-dealer, further, we do not endorse or recommend the services of any broker-dealer. Upon your request, we can provide you with information about broker-dealers that will allow order entry and trading by customer accounts that use our services. The broker-dealer where you maintain an account is solely responsible for its services to you and you agree that we are not liable for any damages or costs of any type whatsoever connected with those services including, but not limited to, trading losses. Please refer to RoboLab Supplemental Terms of Use for Brokerage Connection Services for more information, located here: https://robolab.bellcapital.xyz/policies#live_trading.

You are Solely Responsible for Input Correctness and Accuracy. The quality of the product’s analysis and optimization depends on the user’s inputs. While automated guidance and value generation has been made available in the product to ease and expedite your entry of the parameters required for the product’s analysis and optimization, you, as Registered User of the system, are solely responsible for ensuring the quality of all its inputs. As such, you must carefully review all input parameters and modify their values in all ways necessary to ensure their accuracy and fidelity. While there are other factors governing analysis and optimization accuracy, the quality of the product outputs depends on the accuracy of your inputs. For the avoidance of doubt, RoboLab makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of its reverse-engineered inputs, nor for its automated input generation (auto-generate function). Complex Trade Risk: This tool is capable of generating custom solutions of arbitrary complexity (arbitrary contract types, numbers of legs, and leg quantities). The trades generated by the Service may increase beyond what is practical to execute, due to broker execution limits and the difficulties in executing a complex trade in an all-or-none fashion. Moreover, once the trade is executed, the management of a complex trade becomes more difficult than is normally the case. Another factor is that you may not be authorized to execute all contract types found in the solutions generated. RoboLab makes no representation that a solution generated by the Service can be executed and effectively monitored and managed in practice. It is entirely your responsibility to assess the appropriateness, suitability, and practicality of the solutions generated by the optimizer. It is your responsibility to ensure the trade is executable and manageable, and appropriate for your needs.

11. Morningstar Fundamental Data and other Data Disclaimer.

Certain of the information contained in the RoboLab Site and Services: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar Inc. and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Other third party data providers have similar limitations and their own terms and conditions of use. By using such data at the RoboLab Site or with the Services you are agreeing to be bound by their applicable terms and conditions.

12. Professional Advice Disclaimer.

Our Services are meant as an aid to assist you in organizing and managing your financial information. NEITHER BELL CAPITAL NOR THE SERVICE IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE LEGAL, TAX OR FINANCIAL ADVICE. BELL CAPITAL IS NOT A FINANCIAL PLANNER, BROKER OR TAX ADVISOR. Your financial situation is unique, and any information obtained through the Service may not be appropriate for your situation.

RoboLab Risk Disclosure Statement

Last revised: May 16, 2017

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to RoboLab. RoboLab is both a web-based platform and a community. As a platform, it’s a place to write and test securities trading algorithms. As a community, it’s a place to meet other algorithm writers and to share algorithms, tools, ideas, strategies, and trading experiences. By sharing algorithms and other content, members of the RoboLab community can use, adapt, and learn from each other.

In addition to basic services that allow you to write and test trading algorithms, RoboLab also provides a set of supplemental services, called Brokerage Connection Services, that allow you to engage in live trading through an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer based on the use of your algorithms and trading strategies.

Using RoboLab’s Services, including its Brokerage Connection Services, presents several different types of risk. We have summarized these below. You should read and understand these risks before you use any of RoboLab’s services.

RISKS

The risks that can arise from using RoboLab’s Site and Services fall into three broad categories:

risks inherent generally in using Internet-based technology;
risks inherent in writing, testing, and running trading algorithms; and
risks inherent in engaging in live algorithmic trading.

ANY PERMUTATION OR COMBINATION OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE POTENTIAL EVENTS THAT DEFINE THE RISKS DESCRIBED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS CAN LEAD TO A TOTAL OR PARTIAL LOSS OF OPERABILITY, RESPONSIVENESS, FUNCTIONALITY, AND FEATURES THAT COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY EFFECT YOUR USE OF ROBOLAB.

Risks of Using Internet-based Technology – Generally

The Internet-related technological risks arising from using RoboLab’s Site and Services to write, test, analyze, and run trading algorithms and related trading strategies fall into three categories: (a) risks related to RoboLab’s software; (b) risks related to RoboLab’s computing and communications infrastructure; and (c) risks related to your software, hardware, and Internet connectivity. It is your obligation to thoroughly and appropriately test any trading algorithm before you put it in production and to continually monitor the operation of any trading algorithm in production to ensure it is running properly and in compliance with any applicable rules.

a. RoboLab’s software might fail or work properly.

i. All software is subject to inadvertent programming errors and bugs embedded in the code comprising that software. Any of these errors and bugs can cause the software in which they are located to fail or not work properly. The applications software used to operate RoboLab’s Site and Services depends is subject to this risk. Despite testing and on-going monitoring and maintenance, inadvertent errors and bugs may still cause a failure in RoboLab’s applications software.

ii. We may update or revise our applications software in ways that cause some of its functionality or features to be lost or diminished. Any such loss or diminution could make RoboLab less valuable to you, cause certain functions and features in your algorithms to fail, and require you to change your algorithms and related trading strategies.

b. RoboLab’s computing and communications infrastructure may fail.

The operation of RoboLab’s Site and Services depend heavily on our infrastructure of computing and communications systems. The operation of this infrastructure is subject to several risks:

i. Any or all of the systems comprising our infrastructure could entirely or partially fail, function erratically, or function very slowly (thereby leading to latency, i.e., delays in receipt of and response to user requests).

ii. We may inadvertently cause a systems failure during planned or unplanned system maintenance.

iii. We may undertake software upgrades, either planned or unplanned, that take longer to implement or that causes your computer system or Internet connectivity to fail.

iv. We may change or remove functions and features whose change or removal causes your system to fail, function erratically, or function very slowly.

c. Your computer system and your Internet connectivity may fail.

Any of the components of your computer system and/or your Internet connectivity could fail entirely, function erratically, or function very slowly. The result of any of these occurrences could make it difficult or impossible for you to access the RoboLab Site or use the RoboLab Services.

Risks in Writing, Testing, and Running Trading Algorithms

Writing, testing, and running computer-based trading algorithms is subject to several risks, any of which can cause your algorithms to not function as you had intended or fail to achieve one or more of the objectives of your algorithms. Algorithmic trading is rapidly changing as a practice and as an industry. Models of markets used to write and test trading algorithms are inherently limited and often fail to perform as expected. In addition, trading algorithms are implemented in software programming code, and no matter how well designed and thoroughly tested, any such code can have logical errors and bugs that cause the algorithms to malfunction or suggest trades that, if executed, would result in losses. It is your obligation to thoroughly and appropriately test any trading algorithm before you put it in production and to continually monitor the operation of any trading algorithm in production to ensure it is running properly and in compliance with any applicable rules

a. Your algorithm may be designed on the basis of an incorrect understanding of: how the platform on which it is written, tested, or run works; how your algorithm works; the operation of the trading markets for the securities to which your algorithm is addressed and how the different systems comprising those markets interact; the costs of executing the trades suggested by your algorithm; and how much market opportunity you can capture with computer-based trading algorithms.

b. Your algorithm may contain logical errors in the code you write to implement it or in the code of the model of the market with which you test your algorithm.

c. Errors may exist in the data used for testing your algorithm or the applicable model of the market.

d. Your algorithm might appear to succeed in a backtesting environment using historical data, but fail when using live data.Your algorithm might appear to succeed with some data sources, but fail when using other data sources, including live data sources.

e. Your algorithm may not achieve the returns you anticipate. There are no guarantees, or even expectations, that can be made about the future behavior of an algorithm.

Risks of Engaging in Live Algorithmic Trading and Related Strategies

RoboLab’s Brokerage Connection Services allows you to engage in live trading through an unaffiliated, registered broker-dealer based on the trades suggested by running your algorithms. Engaging in live trading subjects you to (a) the risks associated with trading generally, and (b) the risks associated with live algorithmic trading using RoboLab’s Brokerage Connection Services.

THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THE EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE RISKS, ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH ANY OF THE OTHER RISKS DESCRIBED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF ALL OF THE MONEY YOU HAVE DEPOSITED IN THE BROKERAGE ACCOUNT YOU USE FOR LIVE TRADING BASED ON THE ALGORITHMS YOU WRITE, TEST, AND RUN ON ROBOLAB. LOSSES CAN HAPPEN MORE QUICKLY WHEN USING ALGORITHMIC TRADING THAN OTHER FORMS OF TRADING. YOU SHOULD DISCUSS WITH AN INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL THE RISKS OF TRADING IN GENERAL AND ALGORITHMIC TRADING IN PARTICULAR. YOU USE ANY ALGORITHM IN LIVE TRADING AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IT IS YOUR OBLIGATION TO THOROUGHLY AND APPROPRIATELY TEST ANY TRADING ALGORITHM BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN PRODUCTION AND TO CONTINUALLY MONITOR THE OPERATION OF ANY TRADING ALGORITHM IN PRODUCTION TO ENSURE IT IS RUNNING PROPERLY AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE RULES.

a. Risks of Trading, Generally

You may incur losses (or fail to gain profits) while trading securities. You should discuss the risks of trading with the broker-dealer where you maintain an account or other investment professional. RoboLab provides you only with trading technology and can provide no investment, financial, regulatory, tax or legal advice.

b. Certain Risks of Live Algorithmic Trading

In addition to all of the risks described above, live algorithmic trading is subject to the following types of types of risk:

i. Backtesting and Paper Trading Cannot Assure Actual Results.

It is not possible for a computer model to truly predict what might have happened if an algorithm-based trading strategy was in play in a live trading environment. For example, the implementation of such a strategy can itself have an impact on the market, and the model may fail to account for real-life factors that impact the model. Moreover, the model may fail to account for execution costs including broker commissions, fees, and trading slippage. And, in a live trading mode, your broker may not permit orders or actions that were executed in the model.

A promising model result does not necessarily predict a successful strategy. Execution of the code comprising the algorithm and the performance of that code may prove to be impossible in a live trading environment. Changes in various market factors not foreseen in a model can change, causing a strategy to fail. A backtest might be over-fitted to past data, and fail when the strategy is applied to new, live data. Orders that were executed correctly in the backtesting environment may be disallowed or rejected by your broker, causing the algorithm to fail or otherwise not perform as expected. Attempts to place, edit, or cancel orders might fail, or might result in unexpected outcomes. Moreover, your algorithm might not handle market conditions that cannot be reasonably anticipated, i.e., a “flash crash” or an exchange outage. These market conditions, by definition, will not have been tested.

ii. The relevant market might fail or behave unexpectedly.

Market centers in which you seeking to implement your trading strategy may fail or behave incorrectly because of technical reasons relating to infrastructure, connectivity, and similar factors.

Your algorithm might suffer from adverse market conditions. Those conditions can include lack of liquidity, and abrupt and unwarranted price swings. Also possible are late market openings, early market closings, market chaos, and mid-day trading pauses, and other such disruptive events.

iii. Your broker may experience failures in its infrastructure, fail to execute your orders in a correct or timely fashion, reject your orders, or fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Your broker’s infrastructure and/or applications program interface (API) to which you connect the system on which you are running your algorithm might fail. In addition, even if your broker’s infrastructure and API are working correctly, your broker may reject orders in error or by design, incorrectly execute orders, or induce errors through unexpected behavior (such as returning messages out of sequence, incorrectly acknowledging orders, or posting incorrect execution reports). You should refer to the brokerage agreement between your broker and you for how, if at all, any losses arising from these risks are allocated between your broker and you. RoboLab bears no responsibility for this.

If your broker fails to comply with laws and regulations applicable to trading in general and algorithmic trading in particular, trades for your account that were previously permitted may be disallowed without warning. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is engaged in increasing its surveillance of algorithmic trading and could promulgate rules that increase the risk of compliance failure by your broker.

iv. The system you use for generating trading orders, communicating those orders to your broker, and receiving queries and trading results from your broker may fail or not function in a correct or timely manner.

The substance of your orders to buy, sell, correct, or cancel might not be what you desired because of errors in the algorithmic trading system that you are using. Such errors could include various incorrect parameters. Even if the substance of your orders is correct, because of errors in your system, your desired orders might not be placed at all or might be placed too early or too late. Latency (i.e., delays) within and between your system, as well as those of your broker and the market in which you seeking to effect trades, might cause orders, corrections, and cancels to be placed or not placed in ways that are not desired. You may receive incorrect information, or be unable to get information, about your orders, your positions, or market conditions. Incorrect actions may be taken, or correct actions may not be taken, because of inaccurate or missing information. In addition, you may be unable to terminate or edit your algorithm.

v. The systems of third parties in addition to those of the provider from which you obtain algorithm writing, testing, and implementation services, your broker, and the applicable securities market may fail or malfunction.

Algorithmic trading depends on the availability of various services from third parties in addition to your algorithm services provider and broker. These, for example, include providers of data services, computational services, and network connectivity. The operations of these third parties are beyond all of our reasonable control. Regardless of the reason for any failure by your broker, the market in which you seek to have trades executed, or these other third parties, we will not have any liability for any such failure.

Accurate and complete real-time price data is critical for the success of algorithmic trading. The systems of these data providers could experience failures, errors, and latency, which could result in missing, incorrect, or stale market data.

In some cases, providers of algorithmic services may rely on third parties to meet the computational needs entailed by algorithmic trading.

Your ability to engage in algorithmic trading through Internet-based services depends critically on network connectivity between you, your broker, the other third party service providers described above, and the applicable markets.

Any failures or delays in the third party data, computational, and connectivity services described here could materially and adversely affect your ability to successfully engage in algorithmic trading.

vi. Malicious and criminal activities might cause your algorithms and strategy to fail or your brokerage account to be compromised.

All computers and networks are subject to malicious “hacking” attacks and criminal activities designed to misappropriate intellectual property, compromise personally identifiable information, steal funds, or any combination of such purposes. These attacks might be attacks on a target of opportunity or specifically targeted. Each of the various systems described above that are necessary for you to engage in live algorithmic trading is subject to such attack. Any such attack could cause the system so attacked to function improperly or not at all and could result in the misappropriation of your intellectual property, the compromise of your personally identifiable information and personal financial information, and the theft of your funds.

RoboLab Security

Last Revised: May 16, 2017

The protection of our members’ intellectual property is one of our core promises. Our success and the success of our members hinge on us keeping that promise. Our members have run millions of years worth of backtests and directed millions of dollars in assets through RoboLab live-trading algorithms, and we have never suffered a security breach which compromised their algorithms. We intend to keep it that way.

We always appreciate your input and feedback on our security practices. To report any possible security issues or other questions, please email us at contact@robolab.bellcapital.xyz. Please see below for additional information about vulnerability reporting.

Our approach to security

Here’s how we think about and maintain the security of our application.

Layers of security

There’s no one trick that makes a web site secure, no wall one can erect that will completely keep out the bad guys. Effective security requires multiple layers of controls and precautions, so that even if one layer is compromised, overall security remains intact. For example, the environment in which we execute each trading algorithm is isolated from the rest of our application, and from all the other executing algorithms, in at least three different, independent ways. Even if there were a flaw in one of those isolation strategies which allowed it to be compromised, the others would remain intact.

Best practices

We employ many industry best practices to maintain our application’s security. For example:

We are protected by CloudFlare, the industry leader in detecting and preventing DDoS and similar attacks.
We support two-factor authentication and strongly encourage members trading real money through RoboLab to use it.
Sensitive data in our databases are protected with strong encryption.
Member passwords are stored securely as salted, one-way hashes.
All application network traffic is encrypted in transit, including not only the traffic between your browser and RoboLab, but also all the data that travels between our internal application components.
We use the principles of separation of privileges and least privileges to minimize the potential impact of compromises.
We employ automated triggers to detect and block attempts to compromise our application.

Members of our team maintain their security expertise by subscribing to industry security periodicals and email lists and participating in various security forums.

Constant vigilance

Keeping our application secure is a continuous effort. Our ongoing security activities include:

We periodically engage external security-industry professionals to perform active white-hat penetration testing of our application, and to review our architecture and implementation in depth to look for potential security concerns.
We operate an active, private bug-bounty program on HackerOne, and we encourage independent security researchers who are not in our HackerOne program to report vulnerabilities (see below for additional information).
We subscribe to relevant security notices and alerts, and act quickly to secure our site from any newly announced vulnerabilities that might impact it.
Virtually every line of code added to our application is reviewed in depth by a developer other than its author.
We employ extensive, real-time, 24×7 monitoring of our application’s performance and of anomalous application behavior.
We have engineers on-call 24×7 to respond to alerts about potential security issues.

Maximum transparency

We value transparency in all we do, and we think it is particularly important when it comes to security. We have been always been, and will continue to be, honest and forthcoming about the security of our application. When it comes to the security of your data, we don’t expect you to take us at our word; we know we need to earn your trust.

Vulnerability disclosure

We appreciate help from our community in responsibly identifying security vulnerabilities in our application, and we reward responsible disclosure of substantive vulnerabilities. Researchers considering testing RoboLab or reporting vulnerabilities should first read our public HackerOne directory page. Issues may then be reported in private correspondence to contact@robolab.bellcapital.xyz.
