Terms of Service & End-User License Agreement

The Trade Routes Platform is licensed software that runs on the end-user's own computer and connects to the end-user's own MetaTrader 5 terminal and brokerage account. The software may automatically generate and execute orders according to its programmed rules once activated by the user and configured with user-defined risk parameters. It is supplied strictly as a technical, analytical and educational tool.

Trade Routes AB does not manage client money, does not hold client funds, does not log in to client accounts, does not exercise discretion over client accounts, does not provide portfolio management, and does not act as an investment firm, broker, dealer or financial adviser.

Nothing on this website, in the software, in its documentation or in any communication from Trade Routes AB constitutes investment advice, a personal recommendation, a solicitation to trade, or a broker recommendation.

The software is broker-agnostic. It operates with any MetaTrader 5 brokerage account that offers the pairs you license (currently XAUUSD — Gold) and permits automated execution. The end-user chooses the broker freely and independently.

Subscription pricing is flat and universal. The license fee is identical for every customer, in every currency-equivalent, regardless of which broker the customer uses, whether the customer opened an account through any referral link, and regardless of account size or trading volume. No discount, rebate, surcharge or conditional fee is applied on the basis of broker choice.

Any brokerage introduced by Trade Routes AB is a suggested partner only. Where Trade Routes AB receives compensation from a brokerage for introduced clients, that arrangement is independent of the license fee, is disclosed publicly on the Partner Brokers page, and creates no obligation for the customer to use that brokerage.

The Software is not offered in the United States of America, Belgium or Japan, nor in any territory subject to European Union sanctions. Access from these locations is blocked and licenses are not issued to residents there.

Before any purchase or licensing enquiry the customer must confirm that they are not a resident of a restricted jurisdiction. Providing a false confirmation is a material breach of these terms and voids the license without refund.

Trade Routes AB may refuse, suspend or terminate any license where residency, sanctions screening or applicable local law requires it. It is the customer's own responsibility to ensure that using automated trading software and a chosen brokerage is lawful where they reside.

The software does not impose a leverage limit. Account leverage is set at the brokerage: EU-regulated retail accounts are subject to ESMA caps, while non-EU brokers may apply substantially higher leverage. The end-user is responsible for ensuring the account leverage and the configured maximum lot size leave sufficient free margin.

For EU-regulated retail accounts, set the leverage input to 20 for Gold and 30 for major Forex pairs, in line with ESMA retail leverage caps. For international accounts operating at higher leverage, set the input to the leverage actually applied by the brokerage.

A 500 USD minimum capital level carries significantly higher relative drawdown risk on tight 20:1 EU retail margin than on offshore accounts operating at up to 500:1, because a smaller balance supports fewer valid position sizes and a single adverse volatility expansion consumes a larger share of usable margin. Higher leverage does not reduce risk; it increases both the position size the account can carry and the speed at which capital can be lost.

Trading foreign exchange, contracts for difference, futures, precious metals and other leveraged products carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. You may lose all of the capital you deposit.

The end-user assumes 100% of all risk arising from the use of the software, from every trade it places, and from every configuration setting the end-user selects.

Past performance, backtests, simulated results and any figures published by Trade Routes AB are not indicative of and do not guarantee future results. No profit, income, return or protection against loss is promised or implied.

The end-user is solely responsible for testing the software on a demonstration account before deploying live capital, for monitoring its operation, and for the tax treatment and reporting of their own trading activity.

Each license is issued as a signed file bound to the product, the customer's MetaTrader 5 account number, the brokerage server, the computer fingerprint and an expiry date. The software will not start if any bound value does not match.

Licenses are personal and non-transferable. Copying, sublicensing, renting, reselling, reverse-engineering, decompiling or attempting to extract the strategy logic, models or parameters is prohibited and terminates the license immediately.

All intellectual property in the software, its methodology, models, parameters and documentation remains the exclusive property of Trade Routes AB.

Licenses are sold as monthly or annual subscriptions at the published uniform price. Access runs to the end of the paid period.

Customers may cancel or switch between monthly and annual plans with effect from the end of the current paid period. Paid periods already commenced are not refundable, as the licensed software is delivered digitally and activated on issue.

Changing brokerage or MetaTrader 5 account during a license period requires a new license file to be issued for the new account and machine.

The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted operation.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Trade Routes AB is not liable for trading losses, lost profits, missed trades, slippage, brokerage or platform outages, connectivity failures, incorrect configuration, or any indirect or consequential damages. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the license fees paid in the twelve months preceding the claim.
