Nothing provided by Hermetic Trader — including the Vigil journal, this website, our emails, and any other material — is financial, investment, trading, tax, or legal advice, nor is it a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy or sell any security, future, contract, or other instrument.
We are not a licensed broker, dealer, investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, or financial planner. Your use of the tools does not create any advisory, fiduciary, or agency relationship between you and us.
Vigil is a journaling and record-keeping tool for self-directed traders. It reflects your own inputs back to you: it describes patterns in what you record — your readiness, your rules, your execution — and shows you where you drifted from your own plan. It does not grade your trades, predict outcomes, tell you what to do, or read the market for you.
Vigil does not place trades, execute orders, or manage money, and it does not provide any "bias," signal, or recommendation to take, hold, or close a position. Every decision to enter, exit, size, or skip a trade is yours alone, and you are solely responsible for it.
We make no representation or warranty that use of the tools will be profitable, will avoid losses, or will achieve any particular result. Markets are uncertain. Past performance — your own, ours, or anyone else's — is not indicative of future results.
Any charts, screenshots, panels, or examples shown on this site or in our marketing depict Vigil's interface and are provided for illustration only. They are not records of actual trades, actual returns, or any user's results. Where an example references past price action, it was selected to explain a concept and is not representative of typical performance.
Hypothetical or simulated examples have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual track record, they do not involve real financial risk, cannot fully account for the impact of live market conditions, and may benefit from hindsight. No representation is made that any account will, or is likely to, achieve results similar to anything shown.
Trading futures, options, and other leveraged products involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Leverage can work against you as easily as for you. You may lose some or all of your initial capital, and with certain leveraged products you can lose more than your initial deposit.
Only trade with risk capital — money you can afford to lose without affecting your financial security or lifestyle. If you do not fully understand these risks, seek advice from an independent, licensed financial professional before trading.
You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions and their consequences, for complying with the rules of your broker, exchange, or prop firm, and for any tax or reporting obligations that arise from your trading. You should evaluate whether any approach is appropriate for your circumstances, objectives, and risk tolerance.
Vigil runs alongside third-party platforms — including TradingView, your broker or prop firm, and your data providers. We do not control those platforms, their data, their availability, or your order execution, and we are not responsible for them. Their own terms and risk disclosures apply to your use of them.
Vigil is provided "as is." It may contain errors, rely on delayed or imperfect data, or be unavailable from time to time. Do not rely on it as your sole basis for any decision.
