Please read this page before you use Fillbook or trade. It is a plain-language summary and not a complete list of every risk. It forms part of our Terms of Service.
Futures trading involves substantial risk
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Futures are leveraged. A small move in price can produce a large gain or a large loss relative to the money in your account, and losses can exceed your deposit. Stop orders and other protective orders may not limit your loss: markets can gap, move quickly or become illiquid, and orders can fill at prices worse than the one you set (slippage) or not fill at all. Platform, internet, data-feed or broker outages can stop you from entering or exiting a position.
Only trade with money you can afford to lose. If you are unsure whether trading is right for you, speak to a licensed professional who knows your circumstances.
Past performance
Past performance, whether your own logged history, another trader's, or any figure Fillbook calculates from it, is not necessarily indicative of future results. Statistics such as win rate, profit factor, Edge Score and averages describe what happened in a particular sample of trades. They do not predict what will happen next.
Hypothetical, simulated and sample results
Any sample data, charts, or dashboards shown on this site (for example, on the landing page) are for illustration only and do not represent an actual user's results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading — for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
Fillbook's simulators, What-If tool, pass-probability estimate, evaluation expected-value card, backtests and sample dashboards are hypothetical. They apply stated assumptions to historical or invented data, benefit from hindsight, assume future trading will resemble the past, ignore slippage, fees and emotions unless stated, and are not predictions or guarantees. Screenshots and figures labelled as sample data are for illustration only and are not any real user's results.
Prop firm evaluations and funded accounts
Many prop firms charge a fee to take an evaluation, and that fee can be non-refundable. Passing an evaluation, being funded, keeping a funded account and receiving a payout are never assured. Evaluation and funded accounts are often simulated accounts rather than live brokerage accounts, and a firm may change its rules, pricing, payout terms, drawdown calculation or account sizes, or close or restrict an account, at any time under its own terms.
Fillbook is not affiliated with any prop firm or broker, cannot see or control what a firm decides, and does not guarantee any outcome with any firm. Where we have a referral relationship with a company, we disclose it, and you should weigh that financial interest. Read the firm's own terms before you pay.
Rule changes and the limits of Fillbook's rule tracking
Firms change their rules, and Fillbook's presets can be out of date or incomplete. Fillbook calculates drawdown, daily-loss, consistency and similar figures from the closed trades it has received and the rule values you entered. It cannot see open positions or your live balance, and a firm may calculate the same thing differently. The firm's own dashboard and determination always control.
Alerts only warn. They can be late, wrong or missing because of delayed syncs, missing data or an outage, and Fillbook cannot block, close or change an order. The dashboard refreshes about every 30 seconds while open and is not a real-time monitor. Always confirm the current figure with your firm or broker.
Not advice; your responsibility
Fillbook is software for journaling and analysis. It is not financial, investment, tax or trading advice and is not a broker, adviser or signal service. You alone decide whether and how to trade, and you are responsible for the results and for complying with your firm's, broker's and exchange's rules and with the law.
AI-generated text can be wrong or out of date and is not advice. Check anything important yourself before acting on it.
Independence and trademarks
Fillbook is independent of the prop firms, brokers and platforms it names. Their names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to identify them. See the Disclosures page for required notices and the Recommended page for referral relationships.
