Auto-Execute (Mode A) Disclosure

Effective Date: 2026-05-20  ·  Version 1.0  ·  Bridge Trading

1. What Auto-Execute Does

When Auto-Execute (Mode A) is enabled:

• Orders are placed in your brokerage account automatically, without your per-trade approval, whenever a leader you follow publishes a signal.
• The order is routed to the broker account you have connected to Bridge Trading.
• You will receive a notification after the order is placed, not before.
• You are not asked to confirm each individual trade.

When Approval Mode (Mode C, the default) is active:

• You receive a notification for each signal.
• You must tap Approve before any order is placed.
• Nothing executes without your explicit per-trade approval.

Switching from Mode C to Mode A changes this behavior immediately. All future signals from the leader will auto-execute until you switch back to Mode C or disconnect your broker account.

2. You Bear Full Financial Risk

• You may lose some or all of the money in your connected brokerage account.
• Bridge Trading does not guarantee any return, performance level, or protection of capital.
• Futures trading involves leverage. Losses can exceed your initial deposit.
• Options trading involves complexity and time decay. Options can expire worthless.
• Past performance of any leader's signals does not guarantee future results.
• A leader's signal may be delayed, incorrect, or based on information you do not have.
• Orders placed automatically may fill at prices significantly different from the signal price (slippage), particularly in fast-moving or illiquid markets.

You are solely responsible for all financial outcomes in your brokerage account.

3. Bridge Trading Is Not Your Financial Advisor

• Bridge Trading is a technology platform that routes signals from community leaders to connected brokerage accounts. It is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading adviser, or commodity pool operator.
• Leaders on Bridge Trading are not your financial advisors. They are community members sharing their own trading activity. They are not required to be licensed, regulated, or registered with any financial authority.
• Nothing on Bridge Trading constitutes investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any security or futures contract, or a solicitation of any investment.
• You are making your own decision to follow a specific leader and to enable auto-execute on that leader's signals. Bridge Trading facilitates this connection; it does not make trading decisions for you.

4. Auto-Execute Is Your Choice — You Can Turn It Off Anytime

• You can switch back to Approval Mode (Mode C) at any time from the Copy Trading tab.
• You can disconnect your broker account at any time.
• You can stop following a leader at any time.
• Switching back to Mode C takes effect immediately. Any signal that has already been published and is in progress at the moment you switch will complete normally.
• Bridge Trading provides a Kill Switch in the Copy Trading console that immediately blocks all future executions (Mode A and Mode C) for your account. Use this in an emergency.

5. Futures-Specific Risks

If you are auto-executing futures signals (e.g., /ES, /NQ, /MES, /MNQ, /CL, /GC):

• Futures are leveraged instruments. A small price move can result in a large loss relative to your account equity.
• Futures positions can result in losses exceeding your account balance. You may owe money to your broker beyond what is in your account.
• Futures markets trade nearly 24 hours a day. Auto-execute can place orders outside of regular trading hours, including overnight and on weekends for certain instruments.
• Margin calls may occur. Your broker may liquidate positions without notice if margin requirements are not met.
• Futures trading is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association (NFA). Bridge Trading is not a registered CTA or CPO.

6. Options-Specific Risks

• Options can expire worthless, resulting in a 100% loss of the premium paid.
• Options strategies involving selling (short positions) can result in theoretically unlimited losses.
• Auto-executing options signals requires that your brokerage account have the appropriate options approval level. If your account lacks the required approval level, the order will be rejected by your broker; Bridge Trading is not responsible for this rejection.
• Bridge Trading does not verify your options approval level before placing orders.

7. Technology Risks

• Bridge Trading's systems may experience outages, latency, or errors that result in delayed, failed, or incorrect order placement.
• Your internet connection, your broker's systems, or bridge infrastructure between Bridge Trading and your broker may fail at any time.
• In the event of a technical failure, orders may not be placed, may be placed incorrectly, or may be placed at unintended prices.
• Bridge Trading does not guarantee that every leader signal will result in an executed order in your account.
• You are responsible for monitoring your brokerage account for accuracy and for reporting any discrepancies to your broker promptly.

8. No Performance Claims or Guarantees

• Bridge Trading does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or profitability of any leader's signals.
• Bridge Trading does not endorse, vet, or warrant the performance of any leader.
• Any win rates, returns, or performance figures shown on the platform are historical and do not guarantee future performance. See Hypothetical Performance Disclosure.
• Past performance is not indicative of future results.
