2. Description of Service
AlgoSteward is an AI-powered trading bot platform that allows users to create, backtest, and deploy automated trading strategies with built-in ethical screening based on Biblical principles.
3. Important Risk Disclaimer
TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- You may lose some or all of your invested capital
- Automated trading systems can malfunction or behave unexpectedly
- Market conditions can change rapidly and unpredictably
- You should only trade with money you can afford to lose
AlgoSteward is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial planner. The Service does not provide personalized investment advice. All trading decisions are made by you.
4. No Financial Advice
Nothing on this platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. The information and tools provided are for educational and informational purposes only. You should consult with qualified professionals before making any investment decisions.
5. Ethical Screening
Our ethical screening feature is designed to help users align their investments with Biblical principles by filtering out companies involved in certain industries (gambling, tobacco, alcohol, weapons, adult entertainment, etc.).
However, please note:
- Ethical screening is not perfect and may not catch all companies
- Company classifications may change over time
