01Educational content only — not investment advice
All content shared through Main Street Trades — including our website, Discord channels, voice rooms, posts, audio, video, screenshots of trades, watchlists, market commentary, trade ideas, and any other material produced by us, our contributors, or our members — is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
It is not:
- Personalized financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security
- A solicitation to invest in any product or strategy
- An offer to manage your money or act as your broker, advisor, or fiduciary
- A guarantee of any specific outcome
02We are not registered advisors
Main Street Trades is not a registered investment advisor (RIA), broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, futures commission merchant, or financial planner. None of our contributors, moderators, or affiliates hold themselves out as licensed financial professionals through this community. If a contributor is separately licensed, that license does not extend to anything they post inside Main Street Trades.
03You are responsible for your trades
Every trade you place is your decision. Before acting on anything you read, watch, or hear inside Main Street Trades, you should:
- Do your own research and due diligence
- Consider your financial situation, risk tolerance, time horizon, and investment objectives
- Consult a licensed financial advisor, tax advisor, and/or attorney in your jurisdiction
- Understand the specific risks of the instrument you are trading (options decay, leverage, liquidity, gap risk, etc.)
04No guarantee of results
No method, strategy, indicator, or alert shared inside Main Street Trades guarantees a profitable outcome. Markets are inherently unpredictable. Many traders — including experienced ones — lose money. There is no system that wins every time and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.
05Past performance
Any past performance shown — whether by us, by contributors, by partner traders, by third-party tools, or by individual members — does not guarantee future results. Screenshots, statements, returns, win-rates, and trade logs reflect a specific set of past conditions that may never repeat. Results can be cherry-picked. Always consider the full track record, not isolated wins.
06Hypothetical & back-tested results
Hypothetical or back-tested performance results have inherent limitations. They do not represent actual trading and cannot fully account for slippage, commissions, taxes, market impact, emotional discipline, or the specific timing of real-money execution. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown.
07Forward-looking statements
Statements about future prices, market direction, trends, or outcomes are opinions, not facts. They reflect the speaker's view at a moment in time and are subject to change without notice.
08Conflicts of interest & disclosures
You should assume that contributors, partner traders, and Main Street Trades itself may hold positions in instruments discussed, may enter or exit those positions at any time without notice, and may benefit financially from your membership. Where required by applicable law, specific positions or compensation arrangements will be disclosed inside the relevant post or channel.
09Affiliate and partner relationships
Main Street Trades may earn revenue from affiliate or partner relationships with third-party tools, brokers, data providers, or educators referenced inside the community. Affiliate compensation does not influence our editorial judgment about whether a tool is worth your time, but you should evaluate any external product on its own merits.
10Third-party content & member-generated content
Main Street Trades aggregates and references content from third parties, including data feeds, vetted private traders, and external Discord communities. We do not control, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of third-party content. Member-generated posts inside the Discord reflect the views of the member who posted them, not Main Street Trades.
11Tax considerations
Trading has tax consequences. The tax treatment of stocks, options, futures, crypto, and other instruments varies by jurisdiction and by individual circumstances. We are not tax advisors. Consult a qualified tax professional before relying on any tax-related statement inside the community.
12Updates to this disclaimer
We may update this disclaimer from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Continued use of Main Street Trades after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated disclaimer.
