Restarting Optimus Notice & Risk Acknowledgement

TRND Algorithmic Trading Service Notice and Risk Acknowledgment

Before proceeding to use Optimus V2, please carefully review the important terms and disclosures outlined below. This notice provides essential information regarding the high-risk nature of algorithmic trading through new election cycles both now and in the coming months. Only clients who fully understand and accept these terms should consider using the TRND Bot service.

In this new update, we have updated the following for V2:

  • Improved Performance (especially during elections): The ElectionTime function checks for specific months and years associated with election periods, adjusting trading conditions during these times to mitigate high volatility risks.

  • New Recovery Algorithm: The recovery logic in RecoveryAlgo activates when a specified drawdown threshold is met (-10%). It calculates a trade’s volume based on previous losses and dynamically doubles the lot size, applying FIFO-compliant order management to reduce loss exposure.

  • Loss cut feature Improvement: The ApplyLossCut function now includes expanded loss cut types (lcamount and lcpercent), with enhanced logic to pause trading or restart on a scheduled interval (daily, weekly) if losses exceed predefined thresholds.

  • Optimized code to run better for backtests.

  • Fixed issue with DLL import (no longer required to enable DLLs).

  • Fixed Automatic News refresh issue.

High Risk Environment Advisory

Pre-Inauguration Period (Now through Jan 21, 2025 - Dec 31, 2025)

The period leading up to the upcoming U.S. presidential inauguration is expected to present an extremely high-risk environment due to volatility and significant market fluctuations. By choosing to participate in the TRND Bot service during this period, you accept that market conditions may cause substantial changes in account performance, including drawdowns or margin calls.

Post-Inauguration Period (Jan 21, 2025 - Dec 31, 2025)

After the inauguration, the trading environment will remain high risk as markets adjust to the new administration. Unexpected market events, sometimes referred to as “black swan” events, may continue to impact trading. Clients should proceed only if fully aware of these risks and prepared to trade under such conditions.
