Terms of Service

Effective September 16, 2026

These terms cover your use of onepersontradedesk.com, the OPTD newsletter, and the free code and resources we publish (together, “OPTD”). By using OPTD you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.

Educational content, not financial advice

Everything OPTD publishes (articles, videos, newsletters, code, backtests, and examples) is for educational purposes only. None of it is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Trading futures and other leveraged products involves substantial risk of loss and isn’t suitable for everyone. Past or simulated performance does not guarantee future results. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions and any losses.

Code and tools

Free code we publish is provided under the license in its repository. It is provided “as is”. Test it yourself, in simulation, before relying on it. Automated trading can fail in ways that cost money, including through bugs, disconnections, data errors, and broker or prop-firm rule changes. Check your broker’s and prop firm’s rules before automating anything.

The newsletter is free. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in any issue. How we handle your email is described in the Privacy Policy.

Paid products

If we offer paid products or memberships, any additional terms (price, billing, cancellation, refunds) will be shown before you buy and apply alongside these terms.

Our content

Site content, videos, and newsletters are owned by OPTD. You’re welcome to share links and quote short excerpts with attribution. Please don’t republish whole articles or resell our material without permission.

Acceptable use

Don’t misuse the site: no attempts to break or overload it, scrape it at scale, access anything you’re not meant to, or use our signup forms to submit someone else’s email.

Third-party services

OPTD links to and embeds third-party services such as YouTube, Beehiiv, GitHub, brokers, and trading platforms. Their own terms and privacy policies apply, and we aren’t responsible for them. OPTD’s internal research tools use YouTube API Services, which are subject to the YouTube Terms of Service.

No warranty, limitation of liability

OPTD is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any trading losses, arising from your use of OPTD or reliance on anything we publish.

Changes

We may update these terms. When we do, we’ll change the effective date above. Continuing to use OPTD after an update means you accept the new terms.
