The majority of retail traders lose money. ClockTrades is a journaling and analytics tool — it does not make you profitable, prevent losses, or give financial advice. If you do not fully understand the risks described here, seek qualified, licensed advice before trading.
1. What ClockTrades is
ClockTrades is:
- a journal you use to log your own trades;
- an engine that scores those trades against the plan you have written;
- an analytics layer that summarises your own data.
ClockTrades is not:
- a broker, dealer, or exchange;
- a registered investment adviser, financial adviser or portfolio manager;
- an authorised financial services provider (FSP);
- a signal service, copy-trading service or managed-account service;
- a guarantee of profit, consistency, or risk reduction.
2. Trading risk — key points
- High risk of loss. Trading forex, futures, CFDs, options, commodities, equities, and crypto-assets carries a high level of risk and can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit, especially where leverage is used.
- Leverage amplifies losses. Small market moves can result in proportionally large gains or losses.
- Past performance is not indicative of future results. Statistics shown in your journal (win rate, expectancy, R-multiples, discipline score) describe what happened historically; they do not predict what will happen next.
- Slippage, gaps and liquidity. Market conditions can lead to execution prices different from those planned, and losses may exceed theoretical stop levels.
- Regulatory risk. Products, brokers and jurisdictional rules change. You are responsible for understanding what you are permitted to trade.
- Prop firm challenges. Paid-for funded-trader programmes have their own rules, drawdowns and fees. ClockTrades does not affiliate with any specific prop firm.
3. How to interpret ClockTrades output
- Compliance verdicts indicate whether a trade matched the plan you wrote. They do not indicate whether the trade was a good trade, only whether it was an in-plan trade.
- Discipline score is a behavioural metric computed from your own rule-compliance history. A high score does not imply profitability and a low score does not imply you will lose money.
- Dashboard, deep analytic insights, and compliance coach output are derived from the trades you have logged. They may still contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. They are educational content — not advice, and not a recommendation to take any specific trade.
- Leak calculator on this site is an illustration only. It does not reflect your actual account, brokerage, tax, or fee arrangements.
4. Your responsibilities
- You are responsible for every trading decision you make and every order you place.
- You are responsible for reviewing applicable fees, taxes and regulatory obligations.
- You are responsible for ensuring that trading is appropriate given your financial situation, experience, and objectives.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you enter into ClockTrades.
5. Seek independent advice
If you are unsure whether trading is appropriate for you, seek independent, qualified, and duly licensed professional advice in your jurisdiction before trading. ClockTrades cannot provide that advice.
6. Jurisdictional note
ClockTrades is operated from South Africa. Some of the products mentioned in your journal may be restricted or prohibited in your country. You are responsible for complying with the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside or trade.
