Risk Disclosure

Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. EXIT CODE is a self-directed discipline tool: it does not generate trading signals and does not provide financial advice. Where you connect your own broker, EXIT CODE only transmits the order you choose, on your instruction, to your own account; it never decides what or when you trade, and it cannot guarantee any trading outcome or prevent a loss. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and any losses incurred.

1. What EXIT CODE is

EXIT CODE is a pre-trade discipline tool delivered as a web application at exitcode.trade. You bring a trade; the application runs it through eight gates against the rules you set when calm and returns one verdict (CLEARED or BLOCK) alongside a live readout of how close you are to breaching your account limits.

The product enforces a methodology you, the trader, define yourself. You bring your own technical setup criteria. You set your own stop loss, take profit, and risk parameters. The system flags deviations from the rules you set when calm.

2. What EXIT CODE is NOT

Not a signal service. The product does not tell you what to buy or sell, when to enter, or which direction to trade.
Not financial advice. Nothing on the website, in the app, in our emails, or in any course material constitutes personal financial advice under Australian Corporations Act 2001 or equivalent legislation in your jurisdiction.
Not a broker or dealer. EXIT CODE is not a broker, dealer, or custodian, does not hold your money, and does not make trading decisions for you. When you connect your own broker and use one-click placement, EXIT CODE transmits the order you have specified, on your click, to your own account as your agent (see Section 7). You choose every trade; EXIT CODE never chooses, sizes, or times a trade for you.
Not a guarantee of profitability. No tool can make you profitable. EXIT CODE only enforces discipline against your own pre-declared rules.

3. Subscription and pricing

Pricing is in USD. Stripe handles currency conversion automatically at checkout.

Free: Sign up with your email to unlock the intro lesson and the four pre-trade gate lessons (Gates 1–4) and the free tools (breach calculator, equity simulator). No payment required.
The Proving Ground: $29 USD per month, starting with a 3-day free trial. A card is required at sign-up; you are not charged during the trial, and it converts to $29/month only if you do not cancel before the 3 days end. Cancel any time from your account settings. The sim-only backtester: replay your own broker's history through all eight gates, with zero real money at risk. Included free with the full EXIT CODE subscription.
EXIT CODE (full workstation): all 8 gates live in the workstation, the full methodology course, and The Proving Ground included. $99 USD per month Founder rate, locked for life for the first 100 members: the rate never increases for as long as your subscription stays active. Once the first 100 Founder seats are filled, the standard rate is $149 USD per month. Founder also includes the Discord premium tier, a founder badge, and the 30-day Clean-Slate Guarantee.

All plans are monthly subscriptions. Fees are shown in USD, and Stripe converts your local currency at checkout.

4. Refund policy

The free tier is free forever. The free course lessons (the intro lesson and the four pre-trade gate lessons (Gates 1–4)) + the free tools (breach calculator, equity simulator). Use them for as long as you need before deciding to upgrade.

Paid plans (The Proving Ground $29/mo · EXIT CODE $99/mo Founder, $149/mo standard)

Cancel any time from your account settings. Access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. No partial-month refunds.

Clean-Slate Guarantee. Every paid plan includes it: run the gates before every trade for 30 days, and if it has not changed how you trade, email us once within 30 days of your first payment for a full refund, and keep the course and the free tools.

Why this policy

Access is granted by issuing your private workstation token the moment you pay. The free tier (the free course lessons + the free tools) gives you enough of the framework to evaluate it before paying, and the 30-day Clean-Slate Guarantee covers you if it is not what you expected.

Statutory rights (cannot be excluded)

This policy does not limit your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or equivalent consumer protection legislation in your jurisdiction. If the product has a "major failure" (not as described, defective, unsafe, etc.), you are entitled to a refund regardless of this policy. Contact info@exitcode.trade for refund requests.

5. Acceptable use

You may not:

Share, transfer, sell, lend, or disclose your account, login, one-time or magic login link, access email, credentials, or workstation token to anyone else; your access is personal to you, one person per account
Copy, record, download, screen-capture, transcribe, or republish any course, lesson, video, audio recording, transcript, or other material
Attempt to circumvent the access controls, scrape, or extract the EXIT CODE application, or reverse-engineer its gate logic, thresholds, or methodology
Resell, sub-license, or redistribute any part of the product
Use the product in jurisdictions where its use would be illegal under local financial services regulation
Misrepresent the product as endorsed by any of the cited authors (Hougaard, Douglas, Tendler, Tharp, Nekritin & Peters, Marlatt); we reference their published works under fair-use citation

The full intellectual-property, confidentiality, and account-sharing terms that apply when you use the workstation are set out in the EXIT CODE User Agreement.

6. Founder terms

Cap of 100 founder members at $99/month locked for life. Once 100 are claimed, the founder rate closes and standard pricing ($149/month) applies.
The founder rate of $99/month is locked for the life of your subscription and never increases. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies from your first payment.
Founder badge is permanent, visible in Discord premium tier channels and on any future member-comparison features.
All future updates to the EXIT CODE workstation are included at no extra cost.
Discord premium tier access is included for the lifetime of the EXIT CODE Discord server.

7. Execution and your broker connection

EXIT CODE offers optional one-click trade placement to your own connected brokerage or proprietary-trading account (for example a cTrader account with FTMO, Fusion, or another cTrader broker). This feature is available on paid plans and only after you accept the EXIT CODE User Agreement.

You connect your own account. No order is ever transmitted unless and until you click to place it.
When you click, EXIT CODE transmits the exact order you specified (instrument, direction, entry, stop, target, and size) to your own account, as your agent carrying out your instruction. EXIT CODE never decides what, when, or how much you trade.
Your relationship with your broker or prop firm, your compliance with their terms, and any outcome (including account breach, suspension, or loss) are solely your responsibility.
We may suspend, restrict, or disable execution at any time, including via an immediate global kill switch, without notice.

Your use of the workstation and one-click placement is governed by the EXIT CODE User Agreement, which you must accept before you can execute. Where these Terms and the User Agreement differ on the workstation or execution, the User Agreement prevails.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, EXIT CODE and the legal entity behind the EXIT CODE business name (ABN 45 984 876 899) are not liable for any trading losses, lost profits, lost opportunities, indirect damages, or consequential damages arising from your use of the product. Our maximum aggregate liability to you for all claims is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 3 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) AUD $100.

This limitation does not exclude or limit any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify EXIT CODE and the legal entity behind the EXIT CODE business name (ABN 45 984 876 899) against any claims arising from your trading decisions, your misuse of the product, or your violation of these Terms.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of New South Wales.

11. Changes to these Terms

If we make material changes, we will email registered users with at least 30 days' notice before the change takes effect. Your continued use after the change constitutes acceptance.
