Critical Risk Warning
Trading and investing in financial instruments involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose all or more than your initial investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Read all disclaimers carefully before using this platform or acting on any content.
1. No Investment Advice
Nothing published on Smart Algos Capital constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. All content — including research notes, strategy summaries, performance data, equity curves, market commentary, and consultation guidance — is provided solely for informational and educational purposes.
Smart Algos Investment Solution Ltd is not a registered investment adviser, stockbroker, portfolio manager, or financial planner in Kenya, the European Union, the United States, or any other jurisdiction. The information we publish reflects our independent quantitative research and is not tailored to your individual financial circumstances, goals, or risk tolerance.
Before making any investment or trading decision, you should seek independent professional financial advice from a qualified adviser regulated in your jurisdiction.
2. Trading Risk Disclosure
The following risks are inherent in trading and investing. By using this platform you acknowledge all of them:
- Financial markets can move rapidly and unpredictably, leading to significant losses in a short period
- Leverage and margin products amplify both potential gains and potential losses — you may lose more than you deposit
- You may lose your entire invested capital
- Forex, contracts for difference (CFDs), cryptocurrency, and derivatives are especially high-risk instruments
- Slippage, spread widening, and order execution delays can result in worse outcomes than expected, particularly around high-impact news events
- Counterparty and broker risk: the financial soundness of a broker or exchange may affect your funds independently of market movements
- Liquidity risk: you may be unable to exit a position at the desired price, especially in thin or volatile markets
- Currency risk: gains or losses may be affected by exchange rate movements if your account is denominated in a different currency
Only trade or invest with capital you can afford to lose entirely. Never trade with borrowed money or funds needed for essential living expenses.
3. Automated Strategies and Expert Advisors
Smart Algos Capital develops and publishes quantitative trading strategies including automated Expert Advisors (EAs). In relation to these:
- Strategies are algorithmic tools — they do not guarantee profitability under any market conditions
- Backtested results are hypothetical and subject to look-ahead bias, overfitting, and data-snooping. They do not represent what actually occurred or what will occur in live trading
- Live performance results shown on the platform may include periods of favourable market conditions that may not persist
- Strategies may perform well in certain market regimes and poorly in others — drawdown periods are expected and normal
- Technical failures, internet connectivity issues, broker outages, and platform downtime can cause strategies to execute incorrectly or not at all
- You are solely responsible for monitoring any automated system running on your account and for all trades executed by it
- Always test any strategy in a demo account for a meaningful period before deploying with real capital
4. Performance Data Disclaimer

- Are for informational purposes only and are not a guarantee or promise of future results
