Terms & disclaimer.

The agreement for using DeadCatFound, and the risk disclaimer that applies to everything on the site.

Last updated: June 1, 2026
⚠ Risk disclaimer — read this.
DeadCatFound is an educational platform only. We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial institution. Nothing on this website, in any course, signal, backtest, or tool constitutes financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. All trading involves substantial risk of loss; leveraged products can lose value rapidly. Backtested and paper-trading results do not guarantee future returns. Always consult a licensed financial professional. By using this site you accept that DeadCatFound bears no liability for any financial outcome.

1Acceptance

By accessing DeadCatFound (deadcatfound.org and related subdomains), you agree to these terms and the disclaimer above. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

2What we are (and aren't)

We are an educational project and a self-run paper-trading firm published in the open. We do not hold or manage your money, execute trades for you, or provide personalized advice. The "firm" trades a simulated account for demonstration and research.

3Educational use only

All content — courses, prompts, signals, the Strategy Builder, backtests, and the Journal — is provided for educational and informational purposes. Any decision you make with it is your own, and your own risk. Past performance, real or simulated, does not predict future results.

4Premium & signals

Premium research presents backtested, event-driven trade ideas built on public data. They are illustrations of a method, not instructions. You are solely responsible for any trade you place and for sizing risk you can afford to lose.

5Intellectual property

Course content, code, and branding are ours unless stated otherwise. We publish much of it openly for learning; you're welcome to learn from and adapt it, but please don't repackage it as your own commercial product or imply endorsement.

6No warranty

The site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee accuracy, uptime, or that any strategy will be profitable. Data sources (SEC EDGAR, yfinance, GDELT, broker feeds) may contain errors or delays.

7Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DeadCatFound and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential losses — including trading losses — arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.

8Changes & contact

We may update these terms; the "last updated" date reflects the latest version. Questions: hello@deadcatfound.org or the contact form.
