Legal notice

Who operates this store

This store is operated by Zero To Algo, publisher of From Zero to Algorithmic Trading, based in South Africa. All correspondence, including legal and regulatory queries, should go to hello@zerotoalgorithmictrading.co.za.

Regulatory status

We publish educational material. We are not a licensed financial services provider, we are not authorised by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority, and we do not provide financial, investment, tax or legal advice.

We do not manage money, we do not trade on anyone's behalf, we do not sell signals, tips or managed accounts, and we do not take deposits. Nothing on this site or in the handbook constitutes a recommendation to buy or sell any financial product, or an offer or solicitation to do so.

If you need advice about your own circumstances, speak to a financial services provider licensed by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority. You can verify any provider's FSP number on the FSCA's public register.

Risk warning

Trading carries substantial risk, including the loss of all capital you put at risk. The majority of retail traders lose money. Past performance, whether actual or simulated in a backtest, is not a reliable indicator of future results. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose entirely.

Accuracy of content

The handbook is researched carefully and its key claims are cited. Even so, markets, software, fees, venues and regulations change, and some details will age. Content is provided as it is, without warranty that it is complete or current. Verify anything critical against the official source before you act on it.

Third party services

We reference software, exchanges, brokers and websites operated by others. We do not control them, we receive no commission for mentioning them, and naming one is not an endorsement of its security, terms or availability. Your relationship with any of them is yours alone.

Copyright

All content on this site and in the handbook, including the text and the original diagrams, is protected by copyright and remains our property. Reproduction, redistribution or resale without written permission is not permitted. The terms of your reading licence are set out in our terms of service.

Governing law

This notice and any dispute arising from it are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
