Risk disclosure
- Paper mode is the default. Paper results are simulated and do not guarantee live results.
- Live trading moves real money in your own Alpaca account. Losses are yours, and can exceed what the paper results suggest.
- Live mode is never switched on automatically: it needs your typed confirmation, a fresh identity check and a healthy live connection.
- The kill switch is always available and halts trading and flattens open positions.
- This is software that follows fixed rules. It is not investment advice.
