Risk Disclosure, Disclaimer & Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

To use Tasty Bot Tastic you must be:

1. At least 18 years of age;
2. A legal resident or citizen of the United States (or a jurisdiction where automated options trading services are lawful);
3. The holder of a valid, individually owned brokerage account in good standing with tastytrade, Inc.; and
4. Legally permitted to trade options and/or futures in your jurisdiction.

By using our services you represent and warrant that all of the above are true. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet these requirements.

2. General Risk Disclosure

Options and futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose all or more than your initial investment. Only use risk capital — funds you can afford to lose without affecting your financial security or lifestyle. Carefully consider your experience level, investment objectives, financial resources, and risk tolerance before using any automated trading tool.

Past performance — whether from backtests, paper trading, or prior live results — is not indicative of future results.

3. Nature of Our Services — Not Investment Advice

Tasty Bot Tastic provides a technology platform, automated execution bots, and tools that help users implement their own options and futures trading strategies. We do not provide investment advice, financial advice, trading recommendations, signals, research, or analysis of any kind.

All trading decisions, strategy selection, bot configuration, parameter settings, position sizing, and risk management are solely your responsibility. Our bots execute pre-programmed rules and parameters that you define, enable, and control.

Tasty Bot Tastic is not a registered investment advisor, commodity trading advisor (CTA), commodity pool operator (CPO), broker-dealer, or financial institution. Nothing on this platform, in our documentation, in strategy descriptions, or in any communications from us constitutes investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security, futures contract, or option.

4. Automated Trading and Bot-Specific Risks

Automated options trading carries unique risks beyond those of manual trading:

By using our services, you acknowledge these risks and agree that Tasty Bot Tastic bears no liability for losses arising from them.

5. TBT AI Rank Disclaimer

The TBT AI Rank is a proprietary composite scoring metric developed by Tasty Bot Tastic. It is calculated from historical backtest data using Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, and Calmar ratio components, and is intended solely for comparative and educational purposes.

The TBT AI Rank is NOT:

• A regulatory rating or certification of any kind
• A guarantee or prediction of future performance
• A recommendation to use or avoid any strategy
• An endorsement by any regulatory body or financial institution

A high TBT AI Rank reflects favorable historical risk-adjusted metrics under the tested conditions only. Market conditions change, and past backtest performance does not guarantee future results.

6. Custom Bot Development Service

Tasty Bot Tastic offers a custom bot development service whereby we build automated execution software based on trading rules, parameters, and logic submitted by the subscriber ("Custom Strategy").

By engaging this service, you acknowledge and agree that:

1. Tasty Bot Tastic is providing software engineering services only. We do not review, evaluate, validate, endorse, or offer any opinion on whether a Custom Strategy is sound, profitable, or suitable for any purpose.
2. The Custom Strategy logic is provided entirely by you. You are solely responsible for its design, testing, and live deployment.
3. TBT AI optimization of Custom Strategy parameters is a mathematical analysis of historical data only and does not constitute investment advice or guarantee future performance.
4. Custom bots are private to your account and will not be made available to other users without your explicit written consent.
5. Custom bot development fees are non-refundable once development has commenced, regardless of strategy performance.

9. Hypothetical Performance & CFTC Rule 4.41

Performance figures, backtest results, strategy statistics, and TBT AI Rank scores presented on this platform may be based on hypothetical or simulated trading results.

Backtested results presented on this platform used historical SPX 5-minute tick data from 2022 and 2023.
