1. No Investment Advice

Capo Horn Lab B.V. ("Capo Horn Lab", "we", "us", "our") is a quantitative backtesting and strategy research firm. We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial planner under the laws of the European Union, any EU Member State, or any other jurisdiction. We do not provide investment advice, financial advisory services, portfolio management, or recommendations regarding the purchase, sale, or holding of any financial instrument or security.

All content, analysis, research publications, backtesting reports, and data made available through the Capo Horn Lab Platform are for informational, educational, and research purposes only. Nothing on this Platform constitutes investment advice, a recommendation, or an invitation to engage in any financial transaction.

2. Backtesting Limitations

Backtesting involves the simulation of a trading strategy using historical data to assess how it would have performed in the past. It is important to understand the inherent limitations of backtesting:

  • Hypothetical Nature: All backtesting results are hypothetical and do not represent actual trading. They are generated by applying a strategy to historical market data and may not account for all real-world factors that affect live trading.
  • Slippage and Execution: Our models include realistic slippage estimates, but actual slippage during live trading may differ significantly due to market conditions, order book depth, latency, and execution venue.
  • Look-Ahead Bias: We design our backtesting pipeline to prevent look-ahead bias, but no methodology can guarantee that the future will resemble the past.
  • Overfitting Risk: Strategies that perform well in backtesting may be overfitted to historical data and fail to generalise to unseen market conditions.
  • Market Regime Changes: Market microstructure, volatility regimes, and correlation structures change over time. A strategy that was profitable in historical backtests may perform poorly or incur losses in live trading.

You should never allocate capital to any strategy based solely on backtesting results. All backtesting should be considered one input among many in your trading decisions.

3. Past Performance

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Any historical performance metrics, including Sharpe ratios, CAGR, win rates, maximum drawdown, or other statistics presented in our research publications or backtesting reports, are based on historical data and are not indicative of future performance. Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss, including the potential loss of all capital invested.

Capo Horn Lab expressly disclaims any responsibility for trading losses, investment losses, or any other financial harm arising from reliance on our research, analysis, or Services.

4. Forward-Looking Statements

Our research publications and communications may contain forward-looking statements regarding market conditions, strategy performance, or industry trends. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

5. No Solicitation or Offer

Nothing on the Capo Horn Lab Platform shall be construed as an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy or sell any security, futures contract, option, or other financial instrument. Our Services are provided for research and educational purposes only. We do not solicit or accept funds for management, nor do we provide managed account services.

6. Accuracy and Completeness

We strive to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data, analysis, and content on our Platform. However, we make no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any information provided. Data sources, including Databento and other market data providers, are believed to be reliable but are not guaranteed. Errors, omissions, or delays may occur.

We reserve the right to correct any errors or omissions without prior notice. We disclaim all liability for any loss or damage arising from inaccuracies or incompleteness in the information provided.

7. Third-Party Data and Links

Our Platform may reference third-party data, tools, or websites for convenience or informational purposes. These references do not constitute endorsements, recommendations, or affiliations. We have no control over the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of third-party websites and disclaim all liability arising from your use of them.

8. Professional Advice

You should consult with qualified professionals — including investment advisors, accountants, tax professionals, and legal counsel — before making any trading or investment decisions. The content on this Platform is not a substitute for professional financial advice tailored to your individual circumstances.

Trading futures, options, and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider your financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives before trading.

9. Regulatory Disclosure

Capo Horn Lab B.V. is registered in the European Union and complies with all applicable data protection and commercial regulations. We do not hold client funds, manage trading accounts, or execute trades on behalf of clients. Our activities are limited to quantitative research, backtesting analysis, and related educational services.

We do not claim compliance with MiFID II, ESMA guidelines, or other financial conduct regulations as an investment firm, as our services fall outside the scope of regulated investment advice and portfolio management.

10. Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

This disclaimer shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes arising out of or relating to this disclaimer or your use of the Platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

If any provision of this disclaimer is found to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
