Risk Disclosure

This Risk Disclosure ("Disclosure") describes the material risks of using the products and services provided by Pura Vida Connections LLC ("Puravida Edge," "we," "us," "our") through puravidaedge.com (the "Site"). You should read this Disclosure carefully and in its entirety before purchasing, subscribing to, or using any Puravida Edge product. By using our products, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the risks described below.

This Disclosure is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service. In case of conflict between this Disclosure and any marketing material on the Site, this Disclosure controls.

1. General Statement on Trading Risk

Trading futures, foreign exchange, contracts for difference (CFDs), and other leveraged financial instruments involves a substantial risk of loss. Such trading is not suitable for all individuals or entities. You may lose all or part of the capital you commit to any trading account, including funds paid to proprietary trading firms ("prop firms") for evaluation challenges, reset fees, or subscription costs. You may also lose money paid to us for software access.

You should only commit funds that you are prepared to lose entirely and that, if lost, would not materially affect your financial wellbeing.

2. Nature of the Service

Puravida Edge provides automated trading strategies as invite-only Pine Script-based tools hosted on the TradingView platform. We sell software access. We do not:

• Manage your trading account or your money
• Provide individualized investment advice
• Hold any client funds in any capacity
• Place trades on your behalf
• Guarantee any trading outcome

You retain full and exclusive control over (a) which prop firm or broker you use, (b) which strategies you activate, (c) which risk preset (Conservative or Aggressive) you select, (d) which account sizes you trade, and (e) all decisions to start, pause, or stop automated trading.

3. Hypothetical and Simulated Performance

All performance figures published on the Site, including but not limited to time-to-pass medians, blow rates, payout frequencies, annual net dollar figures, Sharpe ratios, Sortino ratios, Calmar ratios, profit factors, win rates, drawdowns, and equity curves, represent hypothetical or simulated performance results derived from backtested data and Monte Carlo simulation. They do not represent actual trading on real accounts.

In accordance with industry-standard disclosures applicable to hypothetical performance:

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

This is consistent with the standard hypothetical performance disclaimer described in CFTC Regulation 4.41(b).

4. Limitations of Backtests

Our backtests are based on 12 months of empirical market data (May 2025 through April 2026, refreshed monthly). Backtested results are subject to several limitations, including:

• Look-ahead bias and hindsight bias — strategies are designed with knowledge of the historical period and may be inadvertently optimized to historical conditions that do not recur.
• Market regime dependency — past market conditions, volatility regimes, liquidity profiles, and correlation structures may not repeat. Our backtests assume the future P&L distribution resembles the past, which is an assumption that may fail.
• Execution differences — backtests use idealized fills (typically at the bar close or specified price). In live trading, slippage, spread, partial fills, and latency may produce materially different results.
• No transaction cost modeling — our backtests do not model commission, financing costs, swap charges, prop firm evaluation fees, prop firm reset fees, or subscription costs.
• Sample size limitations — some strategies have small trade samples within the 12-month period (e.g., 18–23 trades for Open MNQ/NAS and Hook MNQ/NAS). Small samples produce wider confidence intervals on all performance metrics.
• Survivorship and selection effects — strategies presented in our portfolio reflect a selection of strategies that performed well in development; strategies that performed poorly during development may have been discarded.

5. Limitations of Monte Carlo Simulation

We use block-bootstrap Monte Carlo simulation (1,500 paths per strategy preset, 3-year simulated horizon, 5-day blocks to preserve short-term autocorrelation) to estimate Time-to-Pass medians, Blow rates, Payouts per year, and Net dollar figures. Monte Carlo simulation has the following limitations:

• Assumed stationarity — the resampling assumes that future daily P&L distributions resemble the historical distribution. Real markets exhibit regime shifts that this method cannot anticipate.
• No tail-event modeling — extreme events that did not occur in the 12-month empirical period (e.g., flash crashes, central-bank shocks, geopolitical events, exchange outages) are absent from the simulation.
• Model parameter sensitivity — choice of block size, number of paths, horizon length, and other technical parameters affect output. Different reasonable parameter choices may produce different results.
• No correlation modeling across strategies — we simulate each strategy independently. Real portfolios run multiple strategies on the same account and exhibit correlation effects not captured by single-strategy simulation.
• Excluded costs — the simulation does not deduct prop firm evaluation fees, reset fees, withdrawal fees, taxes, currency conversion costs, or any subscription cost paid to Puravida Edge.

The Monte Carlo "Modeled Net $/yr" figures, "Blow %/yr" figures, and "Time-to-Pass (median)" figures are estimates of model output, not predictions of your future results.

6. Prop Firm Risk

Most users of Puravida Edge use the strategies in conjunction with proprietary trading firms ("prop firms") that offer evaluation challenges leading to access to firm-funded trading accounts. Prop firm trading involves additional risks specific to this business model:

• Evaluation fees are at risk — fees paid for evaluation challenges are typically non-refundable and may be lost in full if you fail to pass the evaluation.
• Industry-wide failure rates — across the prop firm industry, the majority of evaluation participants do not pass their evaluations. Estimates vary by firm and account type.
• Rule changes — prop firms reserve the right to change their rules at any time, including trailing drawdown calculation methods, daily loss limits, profit targets, payout schedules, profit split percentages, and instrument lists. Such changes may invalidate the assumptions on which our strategies are tuned.
• Account closure — prop firms may close accounts for rule violations, suspected manipulation, or at the firm's discretion. Funds in funded accounts are at risk if the firm becomes insolvent or refuses to pay out.
• Payout uncertainty — prop firm payouts are not guaranteed. Firms may delay, reduce, or refuse payouts under various circumstances described in their Terms of Service.

7. Risk Preset Compatibility — Aggressive vs Conservative

Puravida Edge strategies ship with two risk presets:

• Conservative — defensive sizing compatible with all prop firms regardless of trailing drawdown calculation method.
• Aggressive — increased sizing designed exclusively for prop firms using end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown.

Use of the Aggressive preset on a prop firm using real-time (intraday) trailing drawdown has a high probability of account loss due to intraday equity floor breaches that the strategy was not tuned to avoid. This is a structural mismatch between firm rules and the chosen preset, not a strategy defect.

You are solely responsible for verifying your prop firm's trailing drawdown calculation method before selecting a risk preset. Use of the Aggressive preset on incompatible firm rule sets is not covered by the money-back guarantee.

8. Technology, Execution, and Connectivity Risks

Our strategies execute through a chain of third-party services: TradingView (alert generation) → TradersPost or PineConnector (webhook bridge) → broker or prop firm (trade execution). Failures at any link in this chain may produce:

• Missed entries
• Missed exits (including missed stop losses)
• Duplicate orders
• Latency-induced slippage
• Partial fills or no fills
• Disconnections during volatile market events
• Authentication failures or expired credentials

We do not control any of these third-party services. We are not liable for any losses arising from third-party service failures. You acknowledge that automated trading depends on continuous, reliable operation of multiple independent systems, and that such reliability cannot be guaranteed.
