  • Providing the technology platform

  • Facilitating connections between users and Strategy Managers

  • Processing payments and subscriptions

  • Monitoring your account and strategy performance

  • Determining your own risk tolerance and investment objectives

  • Strategy Manager credentials or experience

  • Trading methodology or strategy viability

  • Historical performance accuracy

  • Suitability for any particular user

2.3 Strategy Manager Liability

Strategy Managers, not Quantara Capital, are responsible for:

  • Trading signals and strategy performance

  • Accuracy of strategy descriptions and disclosures

  • Losses incurred by users following their strategies

3. STRATEGY SELECTION AND SUBSCRIPTION

3.1 Choosing Strategies

When evaluating strategies, you should consider:

  • Strategy methodology and approach

  • Historical performance and drawdowns

  • Risk characteristics and volatility

  • Trading frequency and style

  • Minimum recommended account size

  • Use of leverage or margin

  • Types of securities traded

3.2 No Recommendations

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY SPECIFIC STRATEGY. The availability of a strategy on our Platform does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement. Rankings, popularity metrics, or featured placements are informational only and not recommendations.

3.3 Subscription Process

To subscribe to a strategy:

  • Review the strategy's description, disclosures, and performance history

  • Accept the strategy-specific risk disclosures

  • Authorize the subscription fee

5. STRATEGY PERFORMANCE AND DISCLAIMERS

5.1 Performance Data

Strategy performance data displayed on the Platform may include:

5.3 Hypothetical Performance

Some strategies may display hypothetical, backtested, or simulated performance. HYPOTHETICAL RESULTS HAVE SIGNIFICANT LIMITATIONS:

5.4 Live vs. Simulated Trading

Strategies may operate in:
