Legal
Terms of Service
Please read these terms carefully before using The Trading Tools. By accessing or using the site, you agree to be bound by them.
Last updated: August 22, 2026
1. Agreement to terms
By accessing and using The Trading Tools ("the Site"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you should not use the Site.
2. The service
The Trading Tools publishes daily-updated market internals, base-rate signal studies, 13F fund portfolios, economic indicators, systematic-strategy research, and per-symbol charts. Most pages are free and require no account. Selected live scanners and actionable strategy pages require a paid Premium subscription (section 3) and an account. We may add, change, or remove tools at any time.
3. Premium subscription
Premium is a paid subscription (currently $99/month) that unlocks the live Unusual Volume, Unusual Options Activity, and Momentum scanners, together with the Trades, Portfolio, and Stocks sections of published strategies. By subscribing you agree to the following:
- Billing. Payments are processed by Stripe. The subscription renews automatically each month until canceled. We may change the price with advance notice; changes apply from your next billing cycle.
- Cancellation. You can cancel anytime from your account's billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period, and Premium access ends when the subscription ends. Except where required by law, payments already made are non-refundable; we may issue refunds at our discretion.
- Your account is personal. One subscription covers one person (or one seat). Do not share, publish, or resell your account access. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your sign-in method secure.
- Acceptable use. Premium content is for your own research use. Bulk extraction, redistribution, resale, credential sharing, and attempts to circumvent authentication are prohibited. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with a pro-rata refund if we terminate without cause.
- Accounts. You must provide accurate account information and keep access to your sign-in email and password; payments by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
- No advice, no warranty. Premium screens, rankings, targets, holdings, and simulations are informational content (sections 4 and 5 apply in full) and are provided "as is". The service depends on third-party data sources we do not control; delays or outages are possible.
- Model outputs and delivery. Strategy targets, holdings, and status labels are general rule-based model outputs, not individualized trade instructions. We do not guarantee a publication time, uninterrupted delivery, or that you can transact at the price assumed by a historical simulation. You remain responsible for position sizing, execution, broker selection, taxes, and whether any action is suitable for you.
4. Educational purpose — not advice
All content, charts, readings, and tools on the Site are provided for informational and educational purposes only. The Site does not provide investment, financial, legal, tax, or trading advice, and nothing on it is a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
- Past performance and historical base rates do not predict future results.
- Strategy performance is hypothetical and does not represent returns earned by a subscriber, client, or managed account.
- All investing carries risk, including the possible loss of principal.
- You should do your own research and consult a qualified financial professional before making any investment decision.
- We are not responsible for any decision made based on information from the Site.
See our full disclaimer for details.
5. Data accuracy and "as is" basis
While we strive for accurate, up-to-date data, we make no warranties about the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any information on the Site. All content is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Market and economic data is derived from third-party sources and may contain errors, omissions, or delays.
We may correct data, model outputs, and historical results when an error or improved source is identified. Material research and performance changes are recorded on our Product & Research Updates page, but we cannot guarantee that every correction will be announced before you next use the Site.
6. Acceptable use
You agree to:
- Use the Site only for lawful purposes.
- Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its systems.
- Not use automated systems to scrape or extract data at a volume or rate that disrupts the Site or its infrastructure.
- Not interfere with or disrupt the Site's functionality.
- Respect all applicable intellectual-property rights.
7. Intellectual property
The Site's original content, design, code, and computed outputs are owned by The Trading Tools and protected by copyright and other laws. You may view, share, and quote our readings with attribution for personal, non-commercial use. Systematic republication or commercial redistribution of our content requires prior written permission.
8. Third-party data and links
The Site relies on third-party data sources (including the Federal Reserve's FRED service, SEC EDGAR, and market-data providers) and may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third party.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Trading Tools shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits or trading losses — arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site, any decision made based on its content, or any error in its data.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Trading Tools from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of the Site or your violation of these terms.
11. Modifications and availability
We may modify these terms at any time; material changes are reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above, and continued use constitutes acceptance. We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.
13. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining terms will stay in full force.
