Terms of Use, Risk Disclosure and Legal Disclaimer
Before accessing or using Max the Machine, please read this page carefully.
By accessing this website, requesting information, applying for access, or using any software, trading signal, connection service, report, communication, or related material provided by Strategic Trading International Pty Ltd ACN 661 869 370, trading as Max the Machine, you agree to the terms, disclosures and limitations set out below.
If you do not agree with these terms, you should not access or use Max the Machine.
General Information Only
Max the Machine is a software development and automated trading technology business.
We provide access to proprietary, rules-based trading software and related technical tools. We do not provide personal financial advice, financial product advice, investment advice, portfolio management, or recommendations to acquire, hold, dispose of, or deal in any financial product.
Any information provided on this website, in downloadable reports, emails, phone calls, presentations, software materials, or related communications is general information only. It has not been prepared with regard to your personal objectives, financial situation, needs, risk tolerance, trading experience, or legal obligations.
You should seek independent financial, legal, tax and professional advice before deciding whether Max the Machine is appropriate for you.
No Australian Financial Services Licence
Strategic Trading International Pty Ltd does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence.
Max the Machine is made available as proprietary software and technical infrastructure for selected users who are capable of making their own independent decisions. Nothing provided by us should be interpreted as financial product advice, personal advice, managed investment services, dealing services, or an offer to issue or arrange a financial product.
By accessing or using Max the Machine, you acknowledge that you are not relying on us for financial advice and that you are responsible for making your own independent decisions.
Trading Risk Disclosure
Trading foreign exchange, contracts for difference, derivatives, margin products and related financial markets involves significant risk.
You may make profits, but you may also incur losses. Losses can occur quickly and may be substantial. Market conditions, broker execution, spreads, slippage, liquidity, platform interruptions, leverage, third-party technology, and unexpected market events can all affect trading outcomes.
You should only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
Past performance, live results, back-tested results, examples, case studies, modelled returns, account summaries, screenshots, or performance illustrations are not a reliable indicator of future performance. No representation is made that any user will achieve similar results.
No Custody of Client Funds
Max the Machine does not hold, pool, receive, transfer, or take custody of client funds.
Any trading account used in connection with Max the Machine remains in the client’s own name with their chosen broker or trading provider. Clients are responsible for their own broker account, deposits, withdrawals, account settings, margin requirements, login security, regulatory status, and all dealings with their broker.
We are not responsible for any act, omission, delay, outage, margin close-out, execution issue, compliance requirement, platform change, spread change, slippage, account restriction, broker decision, or technical failure caused by a broker or third-party provider.
Software Connection and Automated Trading
Max the Machine may be connected to a client’s nominated trading account through trade-copy technology, remote-server infrastructure, broker platform integration, or another third-party connection method.
Once connected, the software may generate trading instructions, signals, or automated activity that may result in trades being opened, modified, or closed in the client’s trading account.
You acknowledge that automated trading involves risk and that software does not remove market risk. Automated systems can experience losses, technical failure, connection issues, execution delays, abnormal market conditions, or performance variation between accounts.
You remain responsible for monitoring your account and deciding whether to continue, pause, disconnect, or stop using the software.
Third-Party Services
Max the Machine may rely on third-party services, including but not limited to brokers, trading platforms, trade-copy providers, remote servers, payment processors, analytics tools, website providers, email systems, and other technology providers.
We do not control these third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, reliability, performance, security, pricing, execution, compliance requirements, data handling, or any loss arising from their use.
Where third-party services are required, you agree to review and accept the terms, conditions, risk disclosures and privacy policies of those providers directly.
Equity Protection and Risk Controls
Some third-party platforms or connection services may provide equity protection, account protection, trade limits, stop-loss functions, or other risk-management settings.
These tools may assist in managing risk, but they do not guarantee protection from loss. Risk controls may fail, be delayed, be incorrectly configured, be overridden, or be affected by market gaps, slippage, platform issues, broker execution, or technical interruptions.
You are responsible for understanding, setting, reviewing, and maintaining appropriate risk controls for your own account.
Private Access and Suitability
Max the Machine is not intended for everyone.
Access may be limited, selective, or subject to suitability requirements. We may decline, suspend, restrict, or terminate access at our discretion, including where we believe a person does not understand the risks, is unsuitable, is not legally permitted to participate, or is using the software in a way that increases risk or breaches these terms.
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Max the Machine is lawful in your jurisdiction and appropriate for your circumstances.
Private Trial Access
Where Private Trial Access is offered, it is intended as a lower-entry way for suitable users to observe or test the concept on a limited basis before considering larger access.
Private Trial Access may be subject to account-size limits, usage conditions, software restrictions, monitoring requirements, payment terms, cancellation terms, and other conditions disclosed at the time of application or signup.
Private Trial Access does not guarantee future acceptance into any other program, including the Max the Machine Private Circle.
Private Circle Access
The Max the Machine Private Circle is a limited-access software program for selected clients who want exposure to automated, rules-based trading technology while retaining control of their own trading account.
Where Private Circle access includes licence fees, setup fees, profit-share arrangements, account-size limits, monitoring, reporting, or support, those terms will be set out separately before participation.
Profit-share terms, where applicable, are commercial software access terms and should not be interpreted as a managed investment scheme, pooled investment, fund, custody arrangement, or financial advisory service.
Performance Information
Any performance information shown on this website or in related material is provided for general information only.
Performance figures may relate to specific accounts, time periods, broker conditions, risk settings, software versions, market environments, or account sizes. They may not reflect your results.
Actual outcomes can vary significantly due to account balance, broker, spreads, commissions, slippage, leverage, execution speed, deposits, withdrawals, manual interference, connection quality, market conditions, and other factors outside our control.
No statement should be interpreted as a promise, forecast, guarantee, or assurance of future performance.
Service Continuation Policy
From time to time, we may offer a service continuation policy, performance-related access extension, promotional condition, or other client benefit.
Any such offer is subject to the specific written terms provided at the time. Unless expressly stated in writing, no return, result, benchmark, timeframe, profit level, account protection level, or trading outcome is guaranteed.
Any continuation, fee waiver, or extension policy relates only to future access fees and does not compensate, reimburse, or protect against trading losses.
No Warranties
Max the Machine is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
We do not warrant that the software, website, reports, connections, trading signals, third-party services, servers, broker platforms, or related systems will be uninterrupted, error-free, profitable, secure, or suitable for your circumstances.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, all express or implied warranties are excluded.
