Disclosures & Risk Disclaimer
TRADING INVOLVES RISK OF LOSS. TFW Global provides educational content only and does NOT provide financial or investment advice. You alone are responsible for your trading decisions and any financial losses.
Risk Disclaimer
This document provides important information about the risks associated with trading financial instruments. Please read this disclaimer carefully before using TFW Global's educational platform or engaging in any trading activity.
1. Trading Risk
1.1 Risk of Loss
Trading and investing in financial markets carry substantial risk of loss. Depending on the type of trading (forex, stocks, crypto, etc.), you may lose some or all of your investment capital. You should only trade with money you can afford to lose.
1.2 Market Volatility
Financial markets can be extremely volatile. Prices can change rapidly and dramatically, resulting in significant gains or losses in short periods of time. Even experienced traders can suffer losses due to market conditions beyond their control.
1.3 Leverage Risk
Many trading instruments, especially forex and futures, offer leverage which amplifies both potential profits and potential losses. Using leverage increases risk significantly. A small price movement can result in large losses, and you can lose more than your initial investment.
2. Educational Content Only
2.1 Not Financial Advice
TFW Global provides educational content and training materials for informational purposes only. Nothing on our platform constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or recommendations to buy or sell any financial instrument. All content—including strategies, courses, webinars, and community discussions—is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
2.2 Seek Professional Advice
Before making any trading or investment decision, you should consult with a qualified financial advisor, accountant, attorney, or other appropriate professional. Do not rely solely on TFW Global's content when making financial decisions.
2.3 Your Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions and for conducting thorough research before trading. You acknowledge that you understand the risks involved and that you trade at your own risk.
3. No Income Guarantees
3.1 No Guaranteed Returns
TFW Global does not guarantee any specific income, profit, or return on investment. We do not promise that you will make money, become profitable, or achieve any specific financial result. Trading results are highly unpredictable and depend on many factors including market conditions, your skill, experience, psychological discipline, capital management, and pure chance.
3.2 Past Performance Does Not Guarantee Future Results
Historical trading performance, case studies, examples, or results shared on the platform do not indicate or guarantee future results. Markets change continuously, and strategies that worked in the past may not work in the future.
3.3 Individual Results Vary
Every trader is different. Results vary significantly based on individual factors including experience level, trading strategy, capital available, emotional control, market conditions, and numerous other variables.
4. Testimonials and Case Studies
4.1 Results Are Not Typical
Testimonials from TFW Global members represent individual experiences and should not be considered typical or representative of what most members achieve. Individual results vary widely.
4.2 Success Stories Are Limited
We may share success stories from members, but these represent a small subset of outcomes. Many traders experience losses, break-even periods, or reduced profits. Do not assume you will achieve similar results.
4.3 No Income Representations
Any statements about potential income or profit potential are for educational discussion only and do not represent typical results or guaranteed outcomes.
5. Market Risks
5.1 Systemic Risk
Markets can experience significant downturns, crashes, or extended bear markets that affect all traders. Economic crises, geopolitical events, or sudden policy changes can create severe market disruptions.
5.2 Broker and Exchange Risk
Even well-established brokers can experience outages, technical failures, or other issues that affect your ability to trade. In extreme cases, a broker could fail, potentially affecting your funds.
5.3 Technology Risk
Trading platforms, internet connections, and other technology can fail. Technical failures can prevent you from entering or exiting trades, potentially resulting in significant losses.
6. Psychological Risk
6.1 Emotional Trading
Trading can trigger strong emotions—fear, greed, overconfidence—that lead to poor decision-making. Even traders who understand trading theory often struggle with the psychological aspects of executing trades consistently.
6.2 Discipline Required
Successful trading requires strict discipline and adherence to a trading plan. Most traders fail because they cannot maintain discipline, especially during losing periods or high-stress market conditions.
7. Content Accuracy and Limitations
7.1 Information "As-Is"
All educational content provided by TFW Global is provided "as-is" without warranty of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. While we strive for accuracy, errors may occur.
7.2 Market Changes
Markets, rules, platforms, and techniques change constantly. Content created at one point in time may become outdated or less effective as market conditions evolve.
7.3 No Real-Time Updates
Our content does not provide real-time trading signals or recommendations. You should not rely on our content for timing entries and exits in real trades.
8. Responsible Trading
8.1 Trade Responsibly
Only trade if you:
- Understand the risks involved
- Can afford to lose the money you invest
- Have educated yourself on trading basics
- Have a written trading plan
- Use proper risk management (position sizing, stop losses)
- Can maintain emotional discipline
8.2 Start Small
If you're new to trading, consider starting with very small position sizes, using a demo account, or paper trading before risking real capital. This allows you to learn without significant financial risk.
8.3 Never Risk Money You Need
Do not trade with money needed for living expenses, emergencies, or other critical financial needs. Only use capital you can afford to lose completely.
9. Limitation of Liability
TFW Global is not liable for any trading losses, financial losses, or damages resulting from your use of our platform or reliance on our educational content. By using our Service, you acknowledge that you understand these risks and accept them.
10. Regulatory Information
TFW Global is an educational platform, not a broker, financial advisor, or investment firm. We do not offer investment advice, manage funds, or execute trades on your behalf. We do not hold licenses as investment advisors or brokers. Always verify that any broker or financial service you use is properly licensed and regulated.
11. Affiliate Disclosure (FTC Compliance)
TFW Global participates in affiliate programs operated by third-party trading platforms, brokers, prop firms, and trading-tool providers. Some of the links on our website, in our chatbots, in our email newsletters, and in our Skool community are affiliate links. If you click one of those links and complete a signup, deposit, or purchase with the partner, TFW Global may earn a commission. This commission comes from the partner, not from you — your cost is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go to the partner directly.
11.1 Why we use affiliate links
Affiliate commissions help fund the free content we publish (blog posts, the chatbot, public guides) and offset the operating costs of the community. We are transparent about this so you can make an informed decision about whether to use our links.
11.2 Our recommendation standard
We only recommend partners we have personally vetted. Our criteria include: (a) the partner is regulated where applicable in the United States, (b) the partner has a positive reputation among our community members, (c) the partner's product or service genuinely fits our members' needs. We will not recommend a partner solely because they pay a commission. If we encounter quality issues with a partner, we remove or update the recommendation.
11.3 Current affiliate partners
Our current active affiliate partners include but are not limited to: TradingView (charting platform), TradeStation (broker), and Tradezella (trade journaling). Additional partners may be added as we identify quality fits for our community. The most current list is published on our Tools & Brokers page, which always indicates which links are affiliate links.
11.4 You are not obligated to use our links
You are free at all times to use a partner's direct (non-affiliate) URL or to choose any other broker or service that fits your needs. Our recommendations are educational suggestions, not requirements.
11.5 Disclosure in chatbot and Skool conversations
When our chatbots or our team members recommend an affiliate partner, the recommendation includes a disclosure statement. The chatbot disclosure is generated automatically; team members follow community guidelines requiring the same disclosure when posting affiliate links inside our Skool community.
12. US-Based Community & Jurisdictional Note
TFW Global is registered in and operated from the United States. Our content, services, and recommendations are intended primarily for residents of the United States. While our community welcomes members from other countries, we do not specifically target customers in any particular foreign jurisdiction, and we do not represent that our affiliate partners are licensed or appropriate for residents of any country other than the United States. If you are not a US resident, you are responsible for verifying that any broker, prop firm, or trading service we mention is licensed and appropriate for your jurisdiction before using their services. You are also responsible for any tax, regulatory, or legal implications of using a partner service from your home country.
