Terms of service

Last updated October 14, 2026

1. What Signal Trader is

Signal Trader LLC, an Arizona limited liability company ("Signal Trader", "the platform", "we"), operates a marketplace that connects independent trading-signal providers ("providers") with people who choose to follow their signals ("subscribers"), together with self-hosted execution software (the "Signal Trader app") that a subscriber may run to execute subscribed signals in the subscriber's own brokerage account. Signal Trader is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, or fund. We never hold your money, and we do not make trading decisions for you: which signals to follow, at what size, and whether execution runs at all are choices you make and can change at any time. By creating an account or using the site or app you agree to these terms.

2. Your account

You must provide accurate registration information, keep your credentials confidential, and promptly complete verification steps (such as one-time codes) when asked. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these terms, abuse the service, or present a security risk.

3. Signals and subscriptions

Providers set their own signal prices; the platform does not set, anchor, or negotiate them. Each signal's price is displayed before you subscribe. Signals become eligible for listing only after the platform's minimum forward-test period (currently 60 days) has elapsed; listing is mechanical and time-based and is not an endorsement, review, or recommendation.

Billing

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance through our payment processor, Stripe, and renew each month until you cancel. Each subscription is a sale by the signal's provider; Signal Trader collects the payment on the provider's behalf, and the provider's name appears on your card statement.

Your price and any discount are those in effect on the day you subscribe, and they stay fixed for your subscription: a later change to the signal's price or discounts never applies to you, even a lower price. To take up different terms, cancel and subscribe again. A discount applies for the months it states; a discount code without an end month applies for as long as you stay subscribed.

You may cancel at any time from your account page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for: the signal keeps being delivered until then, and when the subscription ends the app closes that signal's open positions in your account. To stop trading a signal sooner, pause it in the app. If a payment fails, Stripe retries it; if it still fails, the subscription ends and its positions are closed.

A provider may set an end date for a signal or retire it. When a signal ends or is retired, its subscriptions end and the app closes its open positions in your account. If that cuts short a period you paid for, we refund the unused part of that period, prorated daily.

If something about a charge looks wrong, write to support@signaltrader.app first. If you dispute a charge with your bank instead, we contest it with the provider's records. If your bank decides the dispute in the provider's favor, we will warn you the first time; a second dispute decided that way closes your account, ends your subscriptions, and closes their open positions.

4. The execution app

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to run the Signal Trader app to execute your subscribed signals in brokerage accounts you own or control. You supply and safeguard your own broker credentials; they are used by the app on your machine and are never transmitted to the platform. You are responsible for the app's configuration — including position sizing and enabling or disabling execution — and for complying with your broker's terms. The app is provided "as is"; see sections 7 and 8.

5. Execution data and public performance records

Signal performance shown on the marketplace is built from the platform's own records. When you subscribe to a signal you consent to your execution data for that signal (such as fill prices and timing) being used in anonymized, aggregated, normalized form in the signal's public performance record. Your identity, account details, and account balances are never published. Where no subscriber executions exist for a period, the platform displays clearly-labeled simulated data instead; the risk disclosure explains how blended records are presented.

6. Providers

Providers retain ownership of their signals and grant the platform a license to deliver them to that provider's subscribers and to publish the resulting performance records. Providers set prices at their sole discretion and owe the platform a commission on platform-facilitated sales as set out in their provider agreement. Providers must not publish signals that are unlawful, fraudulent, or manipulative, must not misrepresent their track record, and must hold any rights needed to publish their signals. We do not curate, rank, or endorse listings, but we may remove listings or accounts engaged in unlawful or fraudulent conduct.

A material change gets a new version

A signal's record is permanent. Its identity — your provider name, the signal's name, its instrument and its timeframe — cannot change once registered, and its trades are never edited or reset.

When you materially change the strategy behind a signal, you must publish the changed strategy as a new version rather than change the existing signal in place. A new version is a new signal whose name adds a version suffix: MACD-RTM becomes MACD-RTM-V2, then MACD-RTM-V3. It runs its own forward test before it can be listed, and the earlier version keeps its record.

A change is material when it changes when the strategy enters or exits, which side it takes, how it sizes trades, or the protective levels it publishes — for example new entry or exit rules, or different indicator settings or filters. Fixing a delivery fault that leaves the strategy's decisions unchanged is not a material change.

The platform cannot see your strategy's code, so versioning is your responsibility. A signal changed in place keeps one record across both strategies, and that record is what subscribers see.

Descriptions describe; they never promise

The platform is neutral: it never promotes or recommends a signal, and a signal's forward test and its record on the platform are the only measure of its performance subscribers see. So everything you publish here — your username and display name, your signal names and discount codes, and the About text for you and for each signal — must describe what a strategy does, not how it will perform. That means no forecasts, targets or expected returns; no performance figures other than the platform's own record, including backtests and results from anywhere else; no guarantees or claims that a signal is safe or low-risk; no testimonials; no comparisons or rankings; and no suggestion that the platform has selected, verified or endorsed you. The same applies to anything you say elsewhere about a signal you publish here. The platform screens these fields when you save them and refuses text that breaks these rules.

Protective levels are exits

Supplying stop-loss and take-profit levels on your signals is optional — individually or together. A strategy that manages risk without fixed levels simply omits them; the platform's own catastrophe stop protects subscribers on level-free signals, outside your record.

A level you publish is an exit. Subscriber installations place it at the subscriber's broker the moment your entry fills, and the broker closes the position there when the market reaches it — no further signal from you is needed. Your record follows the same fills: when the brokers of two or more subscribers fill your stop-loss or take-profit, your signal's record closes that trade at their actual fills, whatever your strategy does afterwards, and a later close from you for that trade changes nothing. With fewer than two such fills, your own signals decide the record. Publish only the levels your strategy actually uses.

Futures signals trade the conventional front contract

A futures signal names a product root (MNQ, ES), not a dated contract. The platform resolves every open to the conventionally rolled front month — for equity index futures, the front rolls to the next quarterly eight days before expiration, matching standard front-month and continuous charts — and every platform surface (validation, the official record, and subscriber installations) resolves it identically. Run your strategy on a volume-rolled or standard continuous chart so your published prices and levels sit on the same contract the platform trades; the round's protective levels are applied to that contract exactly as you published them.

7. Disclaimers

Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Nothing on the platform is investment advice, and Signal Trader does not endorse any signal or warrant the use of any signal for trading financial instruments, or for any purpose whatsoever — use at your own risk. The service and app are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-interruption. The risk disclosure is part of these terms.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Signal Trader and its operators are not liable for trading losses, lost profits, or any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the service or the app — including losses caused by signal content, delivery delays or failures, execution errors, downtime, or your broker's conduct. Our aggregate liability for all claims in any twelve-month period is limited to the amounts you paid the platform in that period.

9. Changes and termination

You may close your account at any time. We may modify these terms; if we do, we will update the date above, and material changes will be notified on the site or by email. Continued use after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance.
