risk.

risk disclosure · last updated 6 november 2026 · version 2.2

the site carries only a short risk warning in its footer, with a link to this page. this is the full risk disclosure. read it before you pay me anything.

1.not advice

i am not a financial adviser, i am not an investment firm, and i am not authorised or supervised by consob or by any other financial regulator. nothing on the site, in the server, in my videos, in my dms or in anything i sell is financial advice, an offer or a solicitation to invest, or a recommendation addressed to you. it is educational: how i read the market and how i trade it, for you to learn from and to judge. the decision to trade, what to trade, how much and when, is yours, and so is the result.

nothing here is legal or tax advice either. this page tells you what the numbers and the screenshots on the site are, so you can judge them; it does not replace the advice of a professional you choose. a profit, a loss or a payout can have tax effects where you live: ask someone qualified there.

nothing here is an offer to invest with me. i do not take money to trade for anyone. there is no fund, no pool and no profit share. what you pay me buys education and access, not a return.

2.futures and leverage

i trade index futures, mostly nq (nasdaq-100 e-mini and micro). futures are leveraged: a small move in the index is a large move in your account, in both directions, and it can happen in seconds. you can lose more than you put in on a live futures account, and you can lose the whole account on a prop firm one. most people who trade futures lose money. only ever risk money you can afford to lose entirely, and never money you need for rent, food, debts or family.

a stop is not a guarantee. on news, at the open or in a fast market the price can jump past it, and the fill can be worse than the level (slippage). fees, commissions and data costs come on top of every trade. if trading starts to cost you money you need, sleep or the people around you, stop.

3.prop firms: simulated accounts, the firm's rules

most of the screenshots on the site come from prop firms (topstep, apex, alpha futures, tradeify, my funded futures, lucid and others). here is what those accounts are:

• a prop firm account, including a "funded" one, is a simulated account. trades are not sent to a live market; the firm tracks them in simulation. "funded" does not mean the firm hands you capital: it means you passed the firm's evaluation and it pays you a share of the profits made in simulation, under its rules.
• every firm has its own rules: daily loss limits, trailing drawdowns, consistency rules, minimum trading days, payout caps, payout schedules, and the right to change them. a payout is due only if the firm says it is due. i do not control that, and neither do you.
• evaluations cost money (a monthly fee or a one-off) and most people who attempt them fail. an "evaluation passed" or "account activated" card on the site is exactly that: a step, not money paid out. every card says which it is.
• the balance of an evaluation or a funded account is a number in a simulation. it is not money anyone holds for you.
• a firm can delay or refuse a payout, take one back, reset or close an account, change its rules after you bought, or stop operating. that is between you and the firm.
• some firms do not allow trading levels from someone else, copying trades, or taking the same trades as other traders. read your firm's rules before you take any level of mine on its accounts.

4.my results

past results do not determine future results. the numbers about me on the site and in my videos are mine, from the past, and picked by me: the "matteo's trades" tab shows my best trades, not my average, and the losing days are not in it (section 13). my win rate moves with the month, bad months included. none of it is a projection for your account, and a month of mine says nothing about a month of yours.

my trades on prop firm accounts are simulated (section 14), and a trade is profit or loss on a position, not a withdrawal.

5.member results and quotes

the payout screenshots, certificates, charts and quotes on the site were posted by individual members in the server. they are individual outcomes, not typical results, and not an indication of what you would get. the members with no results to show yet are in the server too, and there are more of them.

• their words. a quote is what a member wrote, on the day shown. where a member names a number, a count of my points or my rr, or says what my material did for them, it is their statement, not a figure i audited and not a claim of mine.
• their way of talking. when a member writes "no dd", "0dd", "controls the market" or "just buy the signals", that is how they talk about a trade or a day. it is not a fact about my trading: i have losing trades, losing days and drawdown, like anyone who trades, and nobody controls the market.
• picked by me. i chose which quotes and screenshots go on the site, from what members posted.
• their result, not mine. a member's payout comes from their trading, their size, their firm and their rules. it does not measure what i, or my material, did for them.
• not independent. the people quoted are members of my server, not independent reviewers. some of them may have received from me what members receive, like access, help, a discount, a role or a mention, and some may promote my products for a commission through whop's affiliate programme. a quote on the site is not a sign that they did or did not.
• not checked at the source. i do not check a member's screenshot with its source, such as the firm's own e-mail or account, and i do not vouch for it. a screenshot or a message from someone else can have been edited, or be untrue, without my knowing. if you think something on the site is not real, tell me and ask for it to come down (legal page).
• how they got here. they were posted in the server, or sent to me, and are shown under the server rules (terms; privacy). a member who wants theirs off the site can ask, and it comes off (legal page).

how the reviews and the quotes are checked: the legal page. what the site leaves out: section 18.

6.the signal room

the signals are my own levels, published to everyone in the channel at the same time, with take profit and stop, and managed live by me as the session develops: the stop is the same on every level unless i say otherwise, and i say so when it changes. they are educational input and a record of my read; they are not personalised recommendations, they are not sized for your account, and they are not matched to your capital, your risk or your situation. a level can be invalidated before you see it, a stop can be hit before a take profit, and some sessions have no level at all. taking them is your decision; sizing them is your decision; the result is yours.

the win rate ranges and the good and bad months in the signal room details are my numbers on my own levels, for the months named. they are not audited, they change with the month, and they are not a forecast of yours: past results do not determine future results.

the risk-reward (1:10 minimum, 1:15 on average) is the target ratio between the stop and the take profit i set on each single level when i publish it, as section 3 of the terms says. it is not a realised result and not a multiplier on your account. a level that reaches its target is not money in your account: your entry, your size, your fees, your timing and your firm's rules decide that.

• mistakes. i post live, and i am a person. a level can go out with a wrong price, a wrong contract or a typo, or go out late. if i see the mistake, the correction comes in the channel, and it can come after you acted on the first message. check every level against your own chart before you act.
• your feed is not my feed. a level is a price on the chart i read. your broker, your firm, tradingview or another feed can show a price a few ticks away, and further away around a contract roll. a level does not adjust itself to your platform.
• no minimum. there is no set number of levels. some sessions have none, and there can be days, or longer, without one (terms). what the room includes, how it can change, and when access ends, a removed member included, is in the terms; none of it changes the risk of a level you took. fewer levels, or none, is not a reason for a refund (terms).
• automatic copying. if you put my levels into a trade copier, a bot or anything automatic, that setup and its result are yours, and some firms do not allow it (section 3).
• my own position. i may or may not be in the trade of a level: section 21.

7.dms, 1of1 and the bot

in my dms and in 1of1 work i tell you how i read the market and how i would size a trade for myself. i do not tell you what to do with your account, i do not manage anyone's money, i do not trade anyone's account, and i will never ask you for broker or prop firm credentials. in the premium channels my bot answers from my lessons and my breakdowns; it can make mistakes and get things wrong, and it does not tell you whether to take a trade. the site only says that the bot should be able to answer your questions and that you can message me if it does not: that is not a promise that it is right, and it is not financial advice. if you ask any of the three "should i take this?", the honest answer is that only you can decide.

if something i or the bot write sounds like an instruction for your account, it is not meant as one: it is how i would read it for myself, and the decision stays yours.

in the free chat of my free discord you can tag the bot (NICHE jarvis) and ask it about my services and about me. it answers by itself, automatically, and it can get things wrong: a price, a rule, a date or a fact about me. an answer of the bot is not financial, legal or tax advice, and it is not a promise of mine: what you buy, and for how much, is what the terms and the whop checkout say (terms, section 16). your question and its answer can be read by the others in that channel; do not write anything private to it (privacy).

8.the partner code

the code "matteo" is a partner code with tradeify and alpha futures. when you use it you get the firm's discount and i get a commission from the firm. it costs you nothing extra. i say so here: the site does not repeat it next to the code. i am not paid to say anything specific about either firm, and i have no partner relationship with any of the other firms named on the site.

a discount on an evaluation is not a reason to buy one: most people who attempt an evaluation fail it (section 3). some member documents on the site come from alpha futures; they are there because members posted them, not because of the code. more on the legal page.

the commission gives me a reason to send you to those two firms rather than others. weigh what i say about them with that in mind. the discount and the commission are set by the firms, and they can change or end them. if i ever add another paid link or code, the same rule applies: i say so here.

9.the video and its thumbnail

the site links to one of my youtube videos, a trade breakdown on gold. its thumbnail is a graphic made for youtube: a chart of the trade, a position tag in dollars, and the risk-reward figures of the title. those are my results, on the trade and the days the video shows, and nothing else: not a promise, not an average, not what a member should expect, and not what most people who trade get. the video teaches one trade; the caption under it on the site says "my result, not typical."

a thumbnail is a graphic, not a screenshot: read it as a title, not as a document (section 17).

10.names and trademarks

topstep, apex trader funding, alpha futures, tradeify, my funded futures, lucid, whop, discord, youtube, tiktok and instagram are trademarks of their owners. they are named on the site only to say which firm issued which document, or where something happens. no prop firm has endorsed the site or reviewed anything on it, and the site is not affiliated with youtube, instagram, tiktok, discord or whop. the full list, and how each name is used: the legal page.

a name or a logo on the site is not a sign that the firm agrees with me, sponsors me or checked my results. the partner code with tradeify and alpha futures is a commission arrangement (section 8), not an endorsement of my trading.

11.what the numbers on the site are

every number on the site is a past result, mine or a member's, on the day written next to it. none of it is a promise, an average, a forecast or what you should expect.

• picked by me. i chose what goes on the site, and i chose results that went well. a sales page shows the good days; this page is where i tell you that it does.
• not typical. the site does not show what a typical member makes, and i do not claim to know it.
• yours depends on you. what you get depends on what you do: your entries, your size, your firm and its rules, your discipline, your time and the market. none of that is mine to decide.
• most people who trade lose money. that stays true after you buy anything from me.
• the document comes first. where a figure written on the site and the document it comes from say different things, read the document, and tell me: the figure gets fixed (section 17).

12.the big numbers: $100k+ and the totals

the site shows "$100k+" as the total of member payouts. this is how to read it:

• where it appears. in large type at the top of the home page, in the band of numbers, in the preview image the site shows when it is shared on socials or in chats, and wherever else the figure is used. none of those places repeats this note next to the number. this section covers every one of them.
• approximate. it is a rounded figure, not a count to the dollar. read it as an approximate figure, not as an exact amount above $100,000.
• not verified. nobody has audited it: not me, not the prop firms, not an accountant. i cannot see members' prop firm or bank accounts, so i cannot confirm a payout beyond what its screenshot shows, and the screenshots in it are not checked with the firm's own records: one of them can have been edited, or be untrue, without my knowing. a document found not to be real comes out of the total (legal page).
• what is in it. part of it is the sum of the payout screenshots you can open on the site: the results page writes that part next to the total, with the number of members and of screenshots it comes from. the rest is payouts that were reported but have no screenshot on the site, and the rounding. a payout reported without a screenshot is a statement, not a figure i audited.
• reported how. a payout can reach the total from a document a member posted in the server, from a document sent to me privately, or from what i was told, in words, by a member or about a member, with no document at all.
• what counts as a payout. a payout counts from the document a member posted, whether it shows the request to the firm or the payment: the site counts them the same way. a document with no amount on it counts as a document and adds nothing to the sum.
• other currencies. a payout in another currency is counted in us dollars at one fixed rate, not at the rate of the day it was paid, so its value in dollars can be different on another day.
• whose, and when. the figure is about members of the niche server. it may include a payout a member got before joining the server, where the card says so, and it may also take in payouts of mine. it may count more than one payout of the same member, and payouts of people who have since left the server. it is not updated live: on any given day it can be out of date, up or down.
• payouts, not profit. it adds up payouts. it does not take away what members paid to get them: evaluations, resets, monthly fees, data, my products, tax. what members kept is less than the figure, and for some of them the costs may be more than the payouts.
• not my income, not yours. the payouts are paid by prop firms to the members, from accounts the firms run in simulation (section 3): not money i paid, held or managed, and not my income. they are individual results, not typical ones, and not an indication of what you would get. most people who trade lose money.
• not a promise. it is not a forecast, not an average and not part of what you buy. it does not say how many members got a payout: most members have none on the site (section 18).

every other total on the site, the one written on the results page included, has the same limits: it is a sum of screenshots as they were posted or sent to me, prepared as the legal page says, read by me and not audited. if a screenshot turns out to be wrong, it comes down and every total that counted it changes with it (legal page). the terms say the same: no total on the site is part of what you buy.

the member number is the count of accounts in the discord server on the date written next to it, with the server's bots taken out. it counts accounts, not active people: some accounts are inactive.

13.matteo's trades

the trades tab is titled "some trades i took with the strategy i teach". here is what each part of that means, and what it does not:

• "some". i picked them: they are my best trades, not my average, taken from days that went well. the losing days are not in that tab. they happen.
• "i took". they are positions i took myself. they are profit and loss on a position, not withdrawals and not payouts.
• "the strategy i teach". it is how i trade and what i teach. it is not a promise that you will take the same trades, get the same entries, or get the same results: your entries, your size, your timing, your firm's rules and the market decide that. the signal room has no lessons (terms, section 3).

a trade screenshot shows one position at one moment. where it shows open p&l, the profit on a position that was still open when the shot was taken, that is not closed profit and not a withdrawal, and the price can move against an open position after the shot. where part of a screenshot is covered (balances, account ids, digits), any figure written under it is a reading of what is still visible, not an exact amount. some trade screenshots are cropped, covered, highlighted or put together from two; what may be done to an image is on the legal page.

14.simulated accounts and open p&l

the prop firm payouts on the site, and every trade taken on a prop firm account, come from simulated accounts (section 3). unless a screenshot on the site says it is a live account, treat it as a simulated one.

15.where i sell, and the rules there

i live in italy and i sell online, to people in the eu, in the us and elsewhere. i am not registered, authorised or supervised as an investment firm, an investment adviser, a commodity trading advisor or anything similar, by consob or by any other regulator, in italy, in the eu, in the us (the sec, the cftc, the nfa) or anywhere else.

what i sell is education, and the signal room levels are the same for everyone: published to the whole channel at the same time, not based on or tailored to anyone's account, capital or situation. i do not trade, manage or hold anyone's account or money. if the law where you live does not let you buy this kind of education or follow published levels, do not buy.

nothing on the site is an offer or a solicitation in a place where the law does not allow it. if i find out a purchase comes from such a place, i can refuse it, and what was paid for it comes back, as the law asks when a sale cannot go ahead (terms). where the law of the place you live gives you more rights than this page, you have them.

16.18+

everything here is for adults. if you are under 18, do not buy, do not join the niche discord at all, and do not trade. where the law of your country sets the age of adulthood above 18, that age applies. by buying you confirm your age; if i find out a member is under age, the access ends, and being under age does not by itself give a refund (terms).

17.what a screenshot can and cannot show

• prepared for the page. an image on the site may be cropped, covered, marked, put together from more than one screenshot, resized, or sharpened and enlarged with software, ai tools included (legal page). none of that is meant to change a figure, a date, a name or what a document is. if it does, the image is wrong.
• illustrative images. a graphic, a thumbnail, a mock-up, a drawing on a chart, or an image made with ai is illustrative: it is not a document and it does not show a result, even when it has numbers on it. an image made or changed with ai so that it shows a payout, a trade or a figure that did not happen would be wrong, and it comes down (legal page).
• whose. a screenshot can be mine, a member's, or a document a member sent me privately. the caption says whose. a member's document is not mine, and mine is not a member's. a payout i was only told about, in words, has no image on the site; it can only be part of a total (section 12). if a document turns out to belong to someone other than the person its caption names, it is wrong and it comes down. i do not check a member's document with its source, and i do not vouch for it: it can have been edited, or be untrue, without my knowing (legal page).
• old. a screenshot shows one moment, and it can be months old. since then the account may have been lost, reset or closed, the firm's rules may have changed, and the payout shown may be the only one that person got.
• copied by hand. a figure written next to an image is copied from it by me, and it can carry a typo or a rounding ("about"). the document is the source (section 11).
• which account. an evaluation, a funded account and a live account are different things (sections 3 and 14). the balance of an evaluation or a funded account is not money.
• before costs. a payout shows what the firm paid out, not what the person paid to get there, and not what was left after tax.
• currency and date. an amount is in the currency of the document, or counted in us dollars at one fixed rate where it goes into a total. a date is the one on the document or the day it was posted, and a time zone can move it by a day.

18.what the site does not show

the site shows results that went well. that is a choice, and it makes results look better than the average. what it leaves out:

• my losing trades, my losing days and my bad months (section 13).
• members who failed evaluations, lost accounts, had a payout refused, stopped trading or left, and members who have nothing to show.
• what the members shown paid before their payouts: evaluations, resets, fees, time.

i do not know the average result of my members, and i do not claim one. a result on the site is the exception you can see, not the rule you should expect.

19.examples, replays and backtests

a chart marked after the fact, a replay, a backtest, or an example in a lesson, a breakdown or a video shows how i read a setup. it is not a trade that was taken and not a result. it is made knowing what happened next, which a live trade never does, and it has all the limits of simulated results in section 14, and more. a level or a zone drawn on a chart is my reading, not data.

20.platforms, data and outages

the room and everything around it run on services that are not mine: discord, whop, youtube, tradingview, the broker or the prop firm you trade with, their platforms (tradovate, quantower and others), market data feeds, the internet and your device.

• any of them can be down, slow, wrong or changed, without notice to me or to you. a level can reach you late or not at all; a platform can show a price, a fill or a balance that is wrong or late; a firm's dashboard can change after a screenshot was taken.
• i do not control them and, to the extent the law allows, i do not answer for them (terms).
• their rules, prices and terms are theirs. read them before you use them.
• a link on the site to another site leads to a site i do not run; what is on it is the responsibility of whoever runs it.

21.my own interests

• i earn from what i sell, and from the partner code (section 8). that gives me a reason to show results that went well, and to send you to the two partner firms.
• when i publish a level, i may be in the same trade, enter it, exit it or not take it at all, before, at the same time as, or after the channel sees it. a level does not say whether i hold it.
• members who promote my products through whop's affiliate programme may earn a commission; when they do, they have to say so where they promote (terms).

22.socials, lives and videos

this page applies to what i post on youtube, tiktok, instagram, in lives and in the discord too: past results, picked by me, not typical, not a promise. a clip can be cut, sped up, captioned or set to music. a post can be old and still online, and a price, a plan or a number in it may no longer be right: for what you buy, the terms and the whop checkout on the day you buy are what count. whatever words i use in a live, a comment, a clip or a dm, none of them promises you a result.

23.what i answer for, here

to the extent the law allows, i do not answer for losses, missed profits, fees, failed evaluations or refused payouts that come from your trading decisions, from a level you took or did not take, from a mistake or a delay in a level, or from a platform, a broker or a prop firm. what i answer for, and what can never be excluded, is in the terms.

this does not affect your rights as a consumer under the law of the country where you live, and it does not limit any liability the law does not let me limit. if a sentence of this page is not valid where you live, the rest still applies.

no sentence on this page makes a wrong number or a wrong image on the site right. if you find one, tell me: it gets fixed or taken down (legal page).

the terms page says what you buy and what happens if you change your mind; if something on the site is wrong, the legal page says how to tell me. questions to matteoabati054@gmail.com.
