Written to be read rather than skipped. The risk disclaimer is the one that matters most — please actually read it.

Note for the site owner. These are solid, honest drafts covering the disclosures this kind of site needs.

Risk disclaimer

Trading carries a high risk of loss

Trading foreign exchange and contracts for difference (CFDs) on margin carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for every investor. Leverage works against you as readily as it works for you. Before trading, consider your objectives, experience and appetite for risk carefully. You can lose some or all of your invested capital. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Lahoog does not guarantee profit

Lahoog is a trading tool. It does not predict market direction, it cannot prevent losses, and no configuration of it produces guaranteed returns. Nobody associated with Lahoog represents or implies that using it will be profitable.

You operate the tool and you are responsible for the outcome

Lahoog executes according to how you configure it and runs only while you have it enabled. You choose the instruments, the sizing, the settings and the hours. You retain full control of and full responsibility for your trading account at all times, including every position Lahoog opens on it. We do not manage your funds, we have no access to your account, and we make no trading decisions for you.

Lahoog is a grid Expert Advisor

Lahoog operates two independent baskets of positions on a single instrument and adds further positions to a basket as price moves against it, up to configurable limits. Individual positions do not carry their own stop loss in the default configuration. Risk is managed at basket level through a profit target, a trailing lock and a drawdown stop.

Grid strategies accumulate exposure during sustained one-directional price movement. If such a movement continues far enough, a basket can grow until the account can no longer support it, resulting in the loss of the entire account balance. The per-basket drawdown stop, the equity stop and the whole-account drawdown stop exist to limit this outcome. Some of these are disabled in the default configuration and require you to set a value.

Optional averaging and scaling features carry the risk of total loss

Lahoog additionally offers an averaging ladder that adds positions against an open basket, and lot-scaling modes that increase position size across levels, including a multiplier mode. These are disabled or set to fixed sizing in the shipped defaults.

Strategies that increase position size as losses accumulate, or that average into a losing basket, escalate exposure rapidly during adverse moves. Increasing your deposit does not remove this risk; it changes only how long a losing sequence runs before the same outcome is reached.

If you enable these features, you do so entirely at your own risk and confirm you understand that total loss of capital is a realistic outcome.

Configuration is your responsibility

Lahoog exposes a large number of adjustable parameters governing grid spacing, position limits, lot sizing, exit levels and safety stops. The behaviour and risk profile of the software depend substantially on how you configure it. Default values are a starting point, not a recommendation for your circumstances, and we make no representation that any configuration is suitable for you.

No performance representations

This site does not publish backtested or live performance figures, and none should be inferred. Any results discussed anywhere by any party are specific to that account, configuration and market period, and are not indicative of future results.

Technology risk

Automated tools depend on infrastructure outside our control. Power loss, internet or VPS outage, terminal crashes, operating system updates, broker server downtime, latency, requotes, slippage, gapping and data feed errors can all cause missed exits, duplicated orders, unintended exposure or unexpected losses. Running Lahoog on a VPS reduces some of these risks but does not remove them.

Not financial advice

Nothing on this website, in our documentation, or in any communication from us constitutes investment advice, a personal recommendation, or a solicitation to trade. We are not licensed financial advisers. We do not manage funds and we do not operate managed accounts. If you need advice, consult an appropriately licensed professional in your jurisdiction.

Introducing broker disclosure and conflict of interest

We operate as an introducing broker (IB) for Axi and receive commission based on the trading volume generated by accounts opened or transferred under our IB code. Lahoog is provided free of charge under that arrangement.

This creates a conflict of interest you should be aware of. Our commission increases with your trading volume. Lahoog is a scalping tool and generates more volume than a lower-frequency approach. Our commercial interests are therefore not perfectly aligned with your interest in preserving capital. We disclose this openly so you can weigh it when deciding how much to risk.

Not affiliated with Axi

Lahoog is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by Axi or any Axi group company. Axi is responsible for your brokerage account, its terms, and its execution; we are not. Any dispute concerning your brokerage account should be raised with Axi.

Jurisdiction and eligibility

Lahoog is not offered where doing so would be contrary to local law. Axi does not accept clients from all countries, including the United States. It is your responsibility to confirm that trading CFDs, and using automated trading tools, is lawful where you live.

3. What we provide

We provide a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor, licensed free of charge to a single Axi live account number, together with documentation and reasonable setup support. We provide nothing else — no signals, no account management, no advice and no guarantee of any result.

4. Conditions of the free licence

Lahoog is provided free on the condition that it is used on an Axi MT5 swap-free live account registered under our introducing broker code. We may decline or withdraw a licence if an account is not registered under our IB, is transferred away from our IB, or if these terms are breached.

You may not decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or trading logic of Lahoog. You may not copy, redistribute, resell, sublicense, rent or publish the software or any part of it. You may not remove or circumvent the account licensing mechanism, or attempt to run the software on an account it was not issued for.

6. No warranty

Lahoog is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that the software will meet your requirements or produce any particular result.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any trading losses, lost profits, lost opportunity, data loss, or any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising from your use of Lahoog or this website — whether caused by the software, its configuration, technical failure, market conditions, or your own decisions. You accept full responsibility for all trading activity on your account.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

8. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against any claim arising from your use of Lahoog in breach of these terms or of applicable law.

9. Changes

We may update the software, the documentation, this site and these terms at any time. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of it.

10. Termination

We may deactivate a licence at any time for breach of these terms, attempted redistribution or reverse engineering, abusive conduct toward our support channels, or where the associated account leaves our IB. You may stop using Lahoog at any time by removing it from your terminal.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], and the courts of [JURISDICTION] have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

Privacy policy

What we collect

When you submit the licence request form, we collect:

DataWhy
Telegram username (required)To contact you, deliver the file and provide support
Axi account status (optional)So we know which step of the process you're at
Axi account number (optional)To verify the account is registered under our IB

What we do not collect

We never ask for and never want your MT5 password, investor password, or Axi login credentials. Your account number alone is enough to issue a licence. Anyone asking you for trading account passwords — including anyone claiming to be us — should be refused and reported.

How we use it

Solely to verify your eligibility, issue your licence, deliver the software and support you. We do not sell, rent or trade your data. We do not share it with third parties except where necessary to operate the service (for example, the form provider that transmits your submission to us) or where required by law.

Axi and your account

As introducing broker, we may receive reporting from Axi about accounts registered under our IB code, typically covering trading volume and commission. This is separate from the data you give us directly. Your relationship with Axi is governed by Axi's own privacy policy, not this one.

Form submissions

The request form is processed by Web3Forms, which transmits your submission to us by email. Their handling of that data is governed by their own privacy policy.

Retention

We keep request data for as long as you're an active user, plus a reasonable period afterwards for support and record-keeping. Ask us to delete your data and we will, subject to any legal retention requirement.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. Contact us on Telegram to exercise any of these.

Cookies

This site sets no tracking cookies and runs no third-party advertising or analytics scripts. If that changes, this section will be updated first.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information you give us. No transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.


Licence terms

What you're granted

A personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Lahoog on your own Axi MT5 live account, for as long as that account remains registered under our introducing broker code and you comply with these terms.

Free of charge

No fee is payable. There is no subscription and no paid tier. Because no fee is paid, no refund can arise — if you stop wanting Lahoog, remove it from your terminal and you owe nothing.

Personal use only

The licence is issued to you as an individual, for your own trading. It does not extend to friends, clients, group members, or anyone else — everyone who wants a copy can have one free by asking us directly, so there is no legitimate reason to pass the file on.

Changing accounts

You may move to a different Axi account at any time, free and without limit. Tell us the new account number so our records stay accurate.

Updates

Updates and improvements are provided free to active licence holders. We are not obliged to provide updates, maintain compatibility with future MT5 versions, or continue the product indefinitely.

Additional brokers

Support for brokers other than Axi is planned but not committed to any date. If added, it will be provided free to existing licence holders. Nothing on this site should be relied on as a promise that other brokers will be supported.

Prohibited

  • Sharing, reselling, redistributing or publishing the file
  • Decompiling, reverse-engineering or extracting the trading logic
  • Using Lahoog on accounts other than your own, or on behalf of third parties
  • Presenting Lahoog as your own product or service
  • Using Lahoog to provide a signal, copy-trading or account-management service to others

Withdrawal of licence

We may withdraw your licence, and stop providing updates and support, where these terms are breached, where your account is no longer under our IB, or where Lahoog is being used in a way that harms other users, us, or Axi. Where practical we'll tell you why first.

Ownership

Lahoog, its source code, trading logic, name and branding remain our property. This licence grants use, not ownership, and transfers no intellectual property rights.
