Terms of Service

About these terms

These terms apply to this website and to the services of Aika Capital. By using the site or our services, you agree to them.

Our services

Aika Capital develops custom trading software to the client’s specification: coding trading strategies (Pine Script v6 and Python), research, optimisation and automation.

Not investment advice

Nothing on this website or in our services is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument, or a solicitation. Aika Capital is not a broker, investment adviser or portfolio manager. We do not manage client funds or sell trading signals. Every trading decision is yours.

Trading risk

Trading futures, forex, stocks and crypto involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. With leveraged products you can lose more than your initial deposit. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Hypothetical performance

Performance figures on this site come from backtests (historical simulations) unless clearly stated otherwise. Historical simulation. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading involves risk. No returns are guaranteed.

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

No guarantees

We do not guarantee profits or any trading result. Software can contain errors, and automated trading can fail because of platform, broker, connectivity or market conditions. You are responsible for testing in simulation before trading live and for monitoring your automation and accounts.

The free preview

The free preview is a sample, provided free of charge and without warranty, to show how your strategy could be coded and how it behaves in a backtest. It is presented on our call and is not a finished product.

The Full Research Build

• Scope. As described on the Full Research Build page and confirmed in writing at kickoff.
• Price and timeline. Agreed on the call before kickoff. Timelines are estimates and depend on timely answers to our questions.
• Deposit. The deposit reserves your build slot and is credited toward the total. It is refundable in full until kickoff. After kickoff, it is non-refundable because it covers the work performed.
• Balance. Due on delivery, before the source code is handed over.
• Results. Refunds are never based on trading results.

Ownership of the code

Once the build is paid in full, you own the source code delivered for your strategy and may use, modify and run it without licence fees or royalties. Aika Capital keeps its general know-how and any pre-existing tools or code libraries; where such components are included in your delivered code, you receive a perpetual, royalty-free right to use them as part of that code.

Confidentiality

We keep your strategy and business information confidential. We do not share, resell or reuse it for anyone else, except where required by law.

Your responsibilities

• Give accurate information about your strategy and requirements.
• Hold and pay for your own platform, broker, data and webhook services.
• Follow the rules of your broker or prop firm.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aika Capital is not liable for trading losses, lost profits, or indirect or consequential damages. Our total liability for any service is limited to the amount you paid for that service. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Québec and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the current version is always on this page. Questions: yassinealfathmtl@gmail.com.
