Disclaimer & Risk Disclosure
c8alpha is research, not advice. Camp8 LLC publishes c8alpha as a general-circulation financial-research publication. We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial planner. Nothing on c8alpha is personalized to your situation, account, or risk tolerance.
Risk of loss
All trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not predict future results. Depending on the instrument and your position, you can lose all of your invested capital — and in some cases more.
Hypothetical / paper-trading results
All performance figures, win rates, profit factors, drift references, conviction scores, and forward-tracking results on c8alpha derive from paper-trading simulations using paper-trading accounts at third-party brokers. No real money is or has been deployed. Hypothetical performance has several inherent limitations:
- It benefits from the absence of real-world execution costs, slippage, market impact, and liquidity constraints.
- It is sometimes computed with the benefit of hindsight on historical data.
- It does not account for the emotional and behavioral factors of real trading.
- The methodologies used to compute it are subject to change; older performance numbers may reflect older methodologies.
Real-world results, if achievable at all, will differ — often materially.
LLM-generated content
Some content on c8alpha, including the investigation paragraphs accompanying each pick, is generated by large language models (LLMs). LLMs can produce errors, fabricate facts, misattribute quotes, or mis-state numbers. We employ automated guards on certain numeric and date claims, but no automated system catches all errors. Verify all material claims independently before acting on them.
Conflict of interest
Camp8 LLC and its members may hold long or short positions in securities mentioned on c8alpha in paper-trading accounts. Camp8 LLC does not currently trade real-money positions in any security mentioned on the Site. Per-pick disclosure is provided on each pick page where the publisher holds a paper-trading position.
Forward-looking statements
Statements on c8alpha may be forward-looking — referring to expected events, future prices, or projected outcomes. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Actual events may differ materially.
Not a fiduciary
We are not a fiduciary to any reader. We owe no duty of loyalty, prudence, or care beyond that arising from honest publication.
Methodology and audit trail
Detailed methodology, validated mechanical plays, drift references, and the code that produces each pick are documented at /methodology. We invite scrutiny.
Reliance is at your own risk
By using c8alpha you acknowledge that you have read this disclaimer, you understand the risks of trading and the limitations of hypothetical performance, and you accept that any decision to act on any content you find on the Site is solely your own.
