This is software, and software fails
Shogun can miss an alert, act on one late, place an order you did not
expect, or stop running without telling you. It depends on TradingView, on your internet,
on your PC staying awake, on your broker's platform, and on our licence server — and
any one of those can fail without warning, including while you are in a
position.
A stop is not a guaranteed exit price
Gaps, fast markets, thin liquidity, execution latency and slippage can all make a loss
larger than the number you set. The price your strategy expected and the price you get
will differ.
Automated orders can breach a prop account in a single trade
Funded and evaluation accounts carry rules that an automated system can violate faster
than you can react — a daily loss limit, a trailing drawdown, a maximum position
size, or a flat-before-the-close deadline. A breach can end the account
regardless of whether you were up or down on the day.
Shogun's guards and the session-close built into the bots are there to assist
with that. They do not guarantee compliance, they depend on settings you
control and on the platform actually running, and meeting your firm's rules
remains yours. Read your firm's rulebook; it is the one that decides.
Where the responsibility sits
You are responsible for every order placed in your account. We do not
accept liability for trading losses, for missed or duplicated trades, or for an account
being suspended, breached, failed or closed — whether that follows from a defect or
error in our software, from a failure of a service it depends on, from a configuration you
chose, or from the market itself.
Nobody here sees, directs or manages your account, and no order is placed on your behalf
without your own setup. We provide tools; the trading decisions and the consequences are
yours.
So start on a practice account
Run it on an evaluation or simulated account until you have watched it behave across a
full session and you trust what it does. Only trade with money you can afford to
lose entirely — and with futures, you can lose more than you put in.
