Terms and conditions
Last updated 12 March 2025
By using Algolo you agree to these terms. The first two sections matter more than the rest, so they come first.
This is a research tool, not advice
Nothing here is a recommendation to trade.
Algolo tests trading rules against historical data and produces code. It does not give investment advice, does not manage money, and does not recommend any instrument, strategy or broker. Nothing produced by the service is a personal recommendation. If you need advice, speak to someone regulated to give it.
Past results are not future results
A good backtest is not a prediction.
Backtested performance is hypothetical. It reflects what a set of rules would have done on historical prices under our cost assumptions. Markets change, costs change, and live execution differs from simulation. You may lose money, including more than you deposit if your broker offers leverage.
You are responsible for what you run
If you deploy it, the outcome is yours.
Any code you download is yours to inspect, change and deploy. You are responsible for testing it, for the settings you run it with, and for every trade it places. We do not connect to your broker and we never place trades on your behalf.
Your account
One person per account. Keep your inbox secure.
You must be 18 or over. Accounts are personal and may not be shared. Because sign in uses email links and identity providers, access to your inbox or provider account is access to your Algolo account. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has it.
What you may and may not do
Use it for your own trading. Do not attack it or resell it.
You may use the service and everything it produces for your own trading, including commercially. You may not resell access to the service itself, scrape it, attempt to break its limits, use it to build a competing backtesting product, or use it for anything unlawful.
Who owns what
Your strategies are yours. The platform is ours.
You keep all rights to the strategy descriptions you write and the code the service generates for you. We keep all rights to the platform, its interface and its underlying models. You grant us only the licence needed to store and process your content in order to run the service.
Availability and changes
We may change or pause the service; we will tell you.
We aim to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change features, data coverage or pricing. Where a change materially reduces what you get, we will give notice by email before it takes effect.
Liability
We are not liable for trading losses.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for trading losses, lost profits, or any indirect loss arising from use of the service. Our total liability in any twelve month period is limited to the amount you paid us in that period. Nothing here limits liability for fraud or anything else that cannot be limited by law.
