Copy-Trade Risk Disclosure

1. What Bridge Trading Is and Is Not

Bridge Trading IS:

• Software infrastructure that enables you to configure automated monitoring of, and response to, trade signals published by independent third-party Signal Providers you have independently selected, and to direct your Broker to execute corresponding orders in your Broker Account subject to your pre-configured parameters.
• Software that lets you choose, follow, and stop following individual signal providers.
• A platform providing analytics, audit logs, and risk-control tooling around the transmission of your pre-configured instructions.

Bridge Trading IS NOT:

• A registered investment adviser (RIA).
• A registered broker-dealer.
• A registered Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) or Commodity Pool Operator (CPO).
• A fiduciary with respect to your account or your investment decisions.
• A custodian — Bridge never holds your funds. Your money stays at your broker at all times.
• A guarantor of the accuracy, profitability, or timeliness of any signal provider's trades.

Bridge Trading does not give you investment advice, does not recommend that you buy or sell any specific security or contract, does not originate, create, or endorse any trade signal, and does not exercise any discretionary authority over your account. Bridge Trading's role is purely ministerial: it mechanically implements your pre-configured rules. Bridge Trading does not effect, execute, or participate in the execution of any securities transaction. Your Broker, and not Bridge Trading, effects the execution of all orders.

2. Who the Signal Providers Are

Signal providers (sometimes called "leaders" in the interface) are independent third parties. They may include:

• Individual traders who publish trades publicly (for example via Discord or X).
• Automated systems run by independent third parties.
• Other Bridge Trading users who have opted into being signal providers.

Signal providers on Bridge Trading are not licensed financial advisors and are not employees, agents, partners, or affiliates of Bridge Trading. Bridge Trading does not verify, vet, or warrant the qualifications, experience, performance, accuracy, or honesty of any signal provider.

You alone are responsible for choosing which signal providers to follow.

3. You Bear Full Financial Risk

• You may lose some or all of the money in your connected brokerage account.
• For certain instruments and positions (for example, short option positions), you may lose more than your account balance and may owe money to your broker.
• Past performance of any signal provider, on Bridge Trading or anywhere else, does not guarantee, predict, or imply future performance.
• A signal provider's published trade may be late, incorrect, manipulated, the result of a typo, the result of a compromised account, or simply a poor trade.
• Bridge Trading does not insure your account against losses, signal-provider errors, broker errors, or platform errors.

4. Two Modes of Operation

Approval Mode (Mode C) — Default

• You receive a notification for every signal published by a provider you follow.
• No order is placed in your account until you tap Approve.
• You may approve, decline, modify quantity, or ignore each signal.
• This is the default mode for every new user.

Auto-Execute Mode (Mode A) — Optional, Requires Separate Consent

• Your pre-configured instructions are transmitted automatically in accordance with the rules you have established, without per-trade approval. When you enable Mode A, the decision to trade has been made by you at the time of configuration — Bridge Trading exercises no discretion over whether, when, or how to transmit your pre-configured instructions. Bridge Trading's role under Mode A is purely ministerial.
• Requires you to read and consent to the separate Auto-Execute Disclosure before it can be enabled.
• Can be switched off at any time (effect is immediate for future signals).

You start in Mode C. You stay in Mode C unless you explicitly enable Mode A.

5. Asset-Class-Specific Risks

5A. Options

• Options can expire worthless. You may lose 100% of the premium paid.
• Short option positions (selling options) carry theoretically unlimited risk. If you configure the Service to follow a Signal Provider who trades uncovered options, a single adverse market move could result in losses far exceeding the total value of your Broker Account, potentially creating a debit balance for which you are personally liable to your Broker.
• Your broker must approve your account for the level of options trading required by the signal. If your account is not approved, the broker will reject the order and Bridge Trading is not responsible for that rejection.
• The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) publishes the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options." A copy is available at www.theocc.com. You should read it before trading options.

5B. Equities

• Stock prices can fall to zero. A delisted or bankrupt company can result in a total loss of principal.
• Margin trading multiplies both gains and losses.

6. Technology and Execution Risks

• Bridge Trading systems may experience outages, latency, errors, or bugs.
• Signal timing depends on the signal provider, not Bridge. Signal providers typically execute their own trade first and then manually type and post the alert. Any delay between a provider's own execution and the moment the alert is actually posted — including time spent typing, formatting, correcting, or re-posting a message — occurs before Bridge ever receives the signal, is inherent to signal-following, and is entirely outside Bridge Trading's control. Your fill price may differ materially from the provider's fill price for this reason alone, even when Bridge routes the order within milliseconds of receiving it.
• Your internet connection, your broker's systems, or the network between Bridge Trading and your broker may fail at any time.
• A signal that is published by a provider may not be successfully routed to your account, may be routed late, may be routed at a price significantly different from the signal price (slippage), or may be rejected by your broker for any reason.
• Bridge Trading does not guarantee that every signal will result in an executed order in your account.
• You are responsible for monitoring your brokerage account. Do not rely on Bridge Trading notifications as your sole source of truth about your positions.

7. Hypothetical Performance Notice

Where Bridge Trading displays paper-trade results, backtest results, AI-generated "confidence scores," win-rate statistics, signal-provider historical performance, or any other simulated, projected, or historical figures:

This notice is a standard disclosure for simulated performance data recognized under applicable securities law anti-fraud frameworks. It applies to every numerical performance figure you see on Bridge Trading unless that figure is explicitly labeled "live, real-money result." See also the standalone Hypothetical Performance Disclosure.

8. Self-Directed Trading — Your Responsibilities

By following a signal provider, you confirm that:

1. You are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter binding agreements.
2. You alone have chosen which signal provider(s) to follow.
3. You alone have set the position size, the risk parameters, and the mode of operation (Mode C or Mode A) for your account.
4. You alone are responsible for monitoring your account, including positions, balances, margin, and open orders.
5. You understand that no one at Bridge Trading is acting as your financial advisor, broker, or fiduciary.
6. You are using funds you can afford to lose entirely.
7. You will not hold Bridge Trading, its officers, employees, affiliates, or signal providers liable for any losses incurred in your account.

9. No Investment Advice Clause

Nothing on Bridge Trading — including but not limited to signal-provider trades, The Analyst (Bridge's AI), market analytics, GEX charts, options-flow data, brief content, watchlists, or any other feature — constitutes investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any security or contract, or a solicitation of any investment.

All content on Bridge Trading is for informational and educational purposes only. For personalized investment advice, consult a licensed professional in your jurisdiction.

10. Termination, Kill Switch, and Withdrawal

• You may stop following any signal provider at any time.
• You may disconnect your broker account at any time.
• Bridge Trading provides a Kill Switch in the Copy Trading console that immediately blocks all future executions for your account.
• You may delete your Bridge Trading account at any time by contacting support. Audit records will be retained as required by applicable law.

11. Regulatory Notice

This disclosure has not been reviewed or approved by the SEC, FINRA, or any other regulatory body. Bridge Trading is a technology platform and is not itself regulated as a brokerage, advisory firm, or trading firm. Bridge Trading does not effect, execute, or participate in the execution of any securities transaction; your Broker effects the execution of all orders.

If your jurisdiction prohibits the use of automated signal routing, third-party signal subscription, or copy-trading, you are responsible for not using Bridge Trading in that jurisdiction.
