Terms of Service
Effective Date: January 21, 2026
Last Updated: January 21, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Stratuye ("Platform," "Service," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Platform.
2. Description of Service
Stratuye is a strategy execution platform, not a broker, investment advisor, or asset manager.
We provide:
- Automated trading strategy execution in your own brokerage account
- Non-custodial trade signal generation and execution
- Performance analytics and reporting
We do NOT:
- Hold, custody, or control your funds
- Provide investment advice or recommendations
- Guarantee any level of performance or returns
- Act as a broker-dealer or registered investment advisor
3. Non-Custodial Model
Your funds remain at your broker at all times. Stratuye only has API access to execute trades you authorize. We cannot withdraw, transfer, or access your cash. You maintain full legal ownership of your brokerage account and can disconnect at any time.
4. Risk Disclosure
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. You acknowledge and accept that:
- Past performance does not guarantee future results. All performance data shown is backtested and may not reflect actual trading results.
- You can lose money. You can lose your entire investment. The strategy uses leverage (2x margin), which amplifies both gains and losses.
- Market risk exists. Adverse market conditions can cause losses beyond historical drawdown levels.
- Strategy risk exists. The strategy can underperform the S&P 500 in any given period.
- Execution risk exists. Slippage, liquidity constraints, broker outages, or technical failures can impact performance.
5. No Investment Advice
Stratuye is not a registered investment advisor. Nothing on this Platform constitutes investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other type of advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks of using our Platform. You should consult with a licensed financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
6. User Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Maintaining your own brokerage account in good standing
- Ensuring sufficient capital and margin requirements
- All trading decisions executed in your account
- Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
- Tax reporting and obligations
- Protecting your account credentials and API keys
7. Broker Integration
You authorize Stratuye to connect to your brokerage account via API for the purpose of:
- Reading account positions and balances
- Executing buy and sell orders according to the strategy
- Retrieving trade confirmations and performance data
You acknowledge that:
- Your broker (Alpaca Securities, Interactive Brokers, etc.) is a separate entity
- We are not responsible for broker outages, errors, or failures
- You remain subject to your broker's terms and conditions
- SIPC protection (if applicable) is provided by your broker, not Stratuye
- Live strategy execution is subject to broker constraints, including minimum notional order sizes. As a result, a minimum connected account balance may be required for execution.
8. Strategy Parameters
Strategy parameters are fixed and non-negotiable. All users receive the same strategy rules, execution logic, and position sizing. We do not offer custom strategies, parameter adjustments, or discretionary overrides. This ensures backtest validity and fairness.
9. Pricing and Fees
Stratuye offers two pricing models:
Option 1: Monthly Subscription

10. Cancellation and Termination
You may cancel at any time. Upon cancellation:
