Algovest Disclosures

Last updated: June 27, 2026 · Effective: June 27, 2026

This page exists to make clear what Algovest is, what it isn't, and what you should keep in mind when using it. It supplements — and does not replace — our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Algovest is a product of Section 44 LLC. Any reference to "Algovest," "we," "us," or "our" on this page refers to Section 44 LLC doing business as Algovest.

1. Algovest Is Not an Investment Adviser

Algovest is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, or financial planner. We do not provide personalized investment advice. Nothing you see in the Service should be construed as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any specific security, or as legal, tax, or accounting advice tailored to your circumstances.

The signals, agents, strategies, and analyses we display are algorithmic outputs — deterministic and statistical computations over public market data. They are inputs to your own judgment. Every trading decision is yours.

If you need personalized advice, consult a licensed professional.

2. Signals Are Not Recommendations

When an Algovest agent emits a "bull," "neutral," or "bear" stance for a particular symbol:

  • That stance reflects the algorithm's evaluation of the data it considered, under the parameters you (or the agent's defaults) configured.
  • It is not a recommendation that you specifically should buy, sell, or hold that security.
  • It does not consider your financial situation, tax position, risk tolerance, time horizon, or any other personal circumstance.
  • It does not guarantee that the price will move in any particular direction, or by any particular magnitude, or within any particular timeframe.

You may use Algovest signals as one of many inputs to your own decision-making process. The decision — and the responsibility — remain yours.

3. Risk of Loss

Investing in securities involves risk, including the risk of losing some or all of your invested capital. You should only invest money you can afford to lose. Specific risks include, without limitation:

  • Market risk — securities can decline in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, in response to macroeconomic, geopolitical, or company-specific events.
  • Liquidity risk — at times of stress, you may not be able to buy or sell a position at or near the displayed price, or at all.
  • Algorithmic risk — algorithms can be wrong. Models trained on historical data can fail when the underlying regime changes. Edge cases, bugs, and stale data can produce incorrect signals.
  • Concentration risk — strategies that concentrate exposure in few symbols, sectors, or factors can experience large drawdowns.
  • Execution risk — the price at which an order fills can differ materially from the price at which the signal triggered.
  • Connectivity risk — outages of Algovest, your broker, your internet connection, or your device can prevent timely execution of any decision.

Past performance — including back-tested, simulated, or paper-traded results — is not indicative of future results.

4. Data Sources and Third-Party Attributions

The Service relies on third-party data. By using the Service, you agree that your use of each provider's data is subject to that provider's own terms of use, linked below.

Market data

Real-time and historical OHLCV bars and intraday market data are provided by Databento, Inc. (the EQUS.SUMMARY daily-bar and EQUS.MINI intraday datasets). Data Provided by Databento. Use of this market data is subject to the Databento Terms & Conditions and the dataset license terms incorporated therein. Algovest displays only derived values (P&L, stance, and the historical price at which a signal evaluated) — not raw real-time quotes.

Regulatory filings

Form 4 insider transactions, 8-K current reports, 13F institutional holdings, and XBRL company-facts financial statements are obtained from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system, which is public-domain government data.

Macroeconomic data (FRED)

Economic observations are obtained from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED®) service operated by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

This product uses the FRED® API but is not endorsed or certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

Your use of FRED data through the Service is governed by the FRED® API Terms of Use, the FRED® Services Terms of Use, and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you agree to be bound by those FRED® terms.

Congressional disclosures

Periodic Transaction Reports are obtained from the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives. This is public-domain government data.

News

RSS feeds from public US-equities news publishers. Each publisher's terms apply to the headlines and links sourced from their feed. Sentiment is computed internally from the headline and article body.

Additional sources

Commitments of Traders reports from the CFTC, Treasury auction results from the U.S. Treasury, and event data from the GDELT Project (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license requires attribution).

General

We do not purchase or use any third-party derivative or "alternative-data" feeds. Algovest computes signals from primary public sources only.

We strive to validate the data we ingest, but we do not warrant its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. Quoted prices may be delayed and may differ from execution prices. None of the third-party data providers listed above endorse, sponsor, or are affiliated with Algovest, and none of them are responsible for any signal, recommendation, or outcome produced by the Service.

5. Paper Trading vs. Live Trading

The current public release of Algovest supports paper trading only. Trades shown in the app are simulated using internal accounting against your starting paper balance and the price displayed at the time the signal triggered. No real money is at risk in paper mode. Slippage, partial fills, market impact, and other real-world frictions may not be fully modeled.

Live brokerage execution will be enabled in a later release subject to additional approvals from our brokerage partner. When live trading is enabled, Algovest will:

  • Clearly indicate paper vs. live mode on every screen, API response, and notification (paper = blue badge; live = green badge).
  • Require an explicit per-strategy opt-in for live execution.
  • Continue to give you full discretion to enable, disable, pause, or revoke execution for any strategy at any time.

6. Broker Authorization (Alpaca Connect)

When you connect a brokerage account to Algovest:

  • We use Alpaca's OAuth 2.0 flow. We never receive or store your Alpaca password or login credentials.
  • Algovest receives an OAuth access token scoped to the permissions Alpaca's authorization screen showed you, plus an account identifier we use to route orders. These tokens are stored encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM.
  • Algovest places orders only at your direction — no order is placed without an explicit per-strategy execution opt-in by you.
  • Alpaca does not warrant or guarantee that Algovest will work as advertised or expected. Before authorizing, learn more about Algovest at tradealgovest.com/about and read these Disclosures in full.
  • You can revoke Algovest's access at any time from inside the Algovest app or from your Alpaca dashboard.

Your relationship with Alpaca is governed by Alpaca's own customer agreement. The Alpaca Customer Agreement is available at alpaca.markets and is the controlling legal document for any brokerage account you open or use.

7. No Guarantee of Availability

We do not guarantee that the Service will be available without interruption. We may schedule maintenance windows, experience unplanned downtime, or temporarily restrict access to specific features. We will not be responsible for trading opportunities missed during downtime, nor for losses arising from a delayed signal, missed notification, or outage.

8. Conflicts of Interest

Algovest is currently a free product. We do not receive payment for order flow, do not earn commissions on trades placed through the Service, and do not receive compensation from any data vendor, broker, or issuer to feature or rank any specific security or strategy. If this changes — for example, when paid subscription tiers launch — we will update this section.

The author(s), employees, and contractors of Algovest may personally hold positions in securities discussed by the Service. Any such positions are taken in personal accounts subject to a disclosure-and-pre-clearance policy designed to prevent the use of non-public information about Algovest's signal-generation process for personal trading.

9. Intellectual Property and Permitted Use

Signals, agents, strategy outputs, and other Service content are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use. You may not redistribute, resell, white-label, or republish Algovest output as your own work product. You may not present any signal as personalized advice to any third party.

10. Forward-Looking Statements

Some content in the Service or on tradealgovest.com may contain forward-looking statements (e.g. expected earnings dates, projected macroeconomic conditions). Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Actual outcomes may differ materially. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Algovest does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. Trades placed through a connected brokerage account may have tax consequences. Consult a qualified tax professional before making decisions that may affect your tax position.

12. Jurisdiction

The Service is intended for use by U.S. residents. We do not represent that the Service is appropriate or available in any jurisdiction outside the United States. If you access the Service from elsewhere, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with local law.

13. Reporting Errors or Concerns

  • Operations / data issues: support@tradealgovest.com
  • Security: security@tradealgovest.com
