Solicitor-review note: this risk disclaimer was drafted by Claude (AI) from general UK financial-promotion guidance, per our documented drafting approach — it is not solicitor-authored. Independent solicitor review is recommended and currently pending; go-live is not blocked on that certification.
Specifically flagged for that review: whether the FCA's COBS 4.12A mandatory risk-warning wording (which applies to promotions of certain regulated "restricted mass market investments" by an authorised firm) applies to this site. Our working assumption is that it likely does not — Trading Vigilante offers trading education, not a promotion of a specific regulated investment product, and is not an FCA-authorised firm — but this is an interpretation, not a verified legal conclusion, and we are not silently assuming it away. We have taken the conservative posture on this page (below) regardless of how that question is ultimately resolved.
Risk disclaimer
This page applies to all content, courses, tools, and community material provided by Trading Vigilante (operated by VDM Ltd), whether on this site, in emails, or in any linked community space. Please read it before acting on anything you learn from us.
Educational content only
Everything we publish — articles, courses, videos, tools, community discussion, and any commentary on markets or specific instruments — is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is intended to help you understand trading concepts and develop your own skills and judgement; it is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any specific investment, and it is not tailored to your personal circumstances.
Not financial advice
Nothing on this site or in our content is financial advice, investment advice, or a personalised recommendation. We do not know your personal financial situation, investment objectives, or risk tolerance, and we do not provide advice that takes them into account. Before making any trading or investment decision, you should consider seeking independent financial advice from a suitably qualified, FCA-authorised adviser.
Not FCA-authorised
VDM Ltd is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and Trading Vigilante is not an FCA-authorised firm. We do not hold client money, execute trades on your behalf, or manage investments for you. Any trading or investment decision you make, and any broker or platform you choose to use, is entirely your own responsibility.
Capital is at risk
Trading and investing carry a real risk of loss, and you can lose more than your initial investment, depending on the products and leverage involved. Past performance (including any results, case studies, or examples we present) is not a reliable indicator of future results. Markets are volatile and unpredictable; no educational content, tool, or strategy can guarantee a profit or protect you against loss. You should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose, and you should independently verify anything you learn from us before acting on it.
Your responsibility
By using this site and our content, you acknowledge that any trading or investment decisions you make are made independently and at your own risk, and that VDM Ltd is not liable for any losses arising from decisions you make based on our educational content — see also the liability section of our Terms of Service.
