Legal and Liability Issues

Those vendors and subscribers who live in the USA know how common lawsuits are. I would like to do everything possible to avoid any legal problems. For example I give the web address to my personal web site where backtesting information is available. There is a disclaimer noting that backtesting is hypothetical, and the system may not perform well in the future. Are there any legal problems with doing that?



What if I had an accident and couldn’t generate STC orders for the next day? What if the internet or electricity fails? I’m not perfect; what if I make a mistake that causes subscribers to lose money? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,

Cliff

I recommend consulting a lawyer, much like you would if you started any business.

you are a publisher here, unless you are qualified to manage money as a CTA/RIA/etc… People have no more rights against you than they do the NY Times when a classified listing has the wrong phone#



But there are some vendors here who have behaved recklessly. It is all about whether you want to be seen as a hobbyist or a professional.



There is a lot of room here for a professional with a good edge, good money management, etc.
