These terms apply to thesourcefinance.com and to the services offered under the brand The Source Finance.
By using the site, you accept these terms. Each service also has its own written terms, which you accept before you start. For that service, they prevail over this page.
If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms limits the rights you have under the mandatory law of your country.
1. Who we are
This website is operated under the brand The Source Finance. Contact: thesourceoffinance@gmail.com.
The Source Finance is a provider of providers. It supplies trading software, strategies, signals and know-how to partners, who offer them under their own brand, and to traders, who use them directly.
2. Use of the site
You may use the site for lawful purposes only. Our services are for adults aged 18 or over.
You must not:
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or its systems
- use the site for fraudulent or harmful activity
- copy, resell or redistribute signals, records, software or other content without our written permission
We do not offer a service where offering it would be unlawful, or would need a licence or authorisation that is not in place. For that reason, we may refuse, limit or end access in any country or for any person.
You are responsible for checking that you may lawfully use our services where you live.
Content on the site is general information. It may be incomplete or out of date. Charts and screens are illustrative unless they are marked as a live record.
Access to the site may be suspended for security, maintenance or operational reasons.
3. Our services
The Source Finance offers six lines of service:
- The Source Softwares: expert advisors (trading bots) for MetaTrader 4 and 5, by licence or purchase. You install and run them on your own terminal and account, with the settings you choose.
- The Source Copy: our automated strategies, copied on your own broker account at the size you set. See section 05.
- The Source Traders: the copying of manual traders we have reviewed, each with a stated style, market and risk profile. See section 05.
- The Source Signals: signal rooms, sent on Telegram. Every signal is general information. See section 04.
- The Source Labs: custom trading software built to your written specification. Scope, price, delivery and ownership are set in a written agreement.
- The Source Prop Firms: expert advisors and strategies for prop-firm challenges and funded accounts. Each prop firm is independent, and its own rules apply.
Markets: forex and gold first, then Bitcoin (BTCUSD). Indices are not offered yet.
Partners, such as IB networks, brokers, signal rooms and academies, can take any line white label, under their own brand. The Partner terms page summarises how. Only a signed agreement sets the actual terms.
Each service is supplied under its own written terms or order. They set what is included, the price, and how to stop.
We review strategies and traders against written criteria before we offer them. A review is not a guarantee of skill, conduct or future results.
4. Not investment advice
Nothing we publish or supply is investment advice, a personal recommendation, or an offer or invitation to trade.
- We do not ask about your finances, goals, experience or risk tolerance. We do not tell you whether a product or service suits you.
- Signals are general and impersonal. Each signal goes in the same form to every member of a room at the same time. Any size shown is a generic example, as a share of an account. It is not a size worked out for you.
- Strategies, expert advisors and software are tools. You choose whether to use them, on which account, at what size, with what limits, and when to stop.
- Market notes, articles and records are general information and education.
If you need advice on your own situation, speak to an adviser authorised in your country.
5. Copy and Traders
With Copy and Traders, you choose a strategy or a trader. You connect your own account, set your size and limits, and can stop copying at any time.
Once you connect, the trades of the strategy or trader you chose are placed on your account automatically, at the size you set, until you stop.
Where the law of your country requires an authorised firm to provide copy trading, we offer Copy and Traders only through such a firm, under its authorisation and its terms. We tell you the firm's name and its regulator before you start.
If no such firm is available for your country, Copy and Traders are not available to you.
We may pause or retire a strategy for everyone who copies it, for example when it reaches its drawdown limit. This is a decision about the strategy, not about your account.
When you stop copying, positions that are already open may stay open on your account until they close or you close them. Always check your account.
6. No management of client funds
The Source Finance does not hold, receive, move or manage client money. It is not a bank or a broker.
Your money stays in your own account, in your name, at your broker. Some services work only with partner brokers. Your broker is independent, and its own terms and its regulator apply.
Any connection used for Copy, Traders or our software is trade-only. It can open and close trades. It cannot withdraw or transfer funds.
We never ask for your card details, or for access to the part of your broker account used for deposits and withdrawals.
We do not take deposits. Never send money to anyone who says they act for The Source Finance.
7. Risk disclosure
Trading leveraged products such as forex, gold, Bitcoin and other CFDs carries a high risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose all the money you put in, and in some cases more.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. No strategy, trader, signal or software can promise a profit or prevent a loss.
You decide whether to act on a signal, copy a strategy or run an expert advisor, and you carry the outcome.
Read the full Risk disclosure before you use any service.
8. Fees and payments
Prices are shown, or agreed in writing, before you commit. We do not charge anything you have not agreed to in advance.
- Softwares: a licence lets you run an expert advisor for a set period, with updates included. A purchase gives you a permanent licence to the version you bought.
- Copy and Traders: a performance fee on new profits only, calculated with a high-water mark. If your account does not reach a new high above its previous peak, no performance fee is due. The rate, the period and how it is collected are stated before you start.
- Labs: quoted to your specification, in writing.
- Partners: revenue share is agreed only in a signed written agreement.
We may receive payments from partner brokers or prop firms, for example commissions linked to the volume you trade, or referral fees. This is a conflict of interest. We tell you so that you can take it into account.
If you are a consumer, you may have a legal right to withdraw from a contract made at a distance. The terms of each service explain whether and how it applies.
You are responsible for any tax on your trading results.
9. Intellectual property
The site, signals, records, reports and software, and the names The Source Finance, The Record and The Standard, belong to the owner of The Source Finance or to its licensors.
Buying or licensing software gives you the right to use it under its licence. It does not give you ownership of the code. You may not copy, share, resell, decompile or reverse engineer it, or remove its protections, except where the law allows.
Signals and room content are for your own use. You may not forward or republish them without our written permission.
Ownership of software built by Labs is set in the Labs agreement.
MetaTrader and Telegram are trademarks of their owners. We are not affiliated with them.
10. Limitation of liability
We are not liable for:
- trading losses, missed profits or costs from any trade, signal, strategy, copied trade or software, whether or not you followed it
- acts or failures of your broker, a prop firm, or an authorised firm through which a service is offered
- delays or failures of systems outside our control, such as Telegram, trading platforms, broker servers, your internet connection or your device
- indirect or consequential loss
Where the law allows a cap, our total liability for a service is limited to the fees you paid us for that service in the 12 months before the claim.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or any other liability that the law does not allow us to limit. If you are a consumer, your mandatory rights are not affected.
11. Privacy
How personal data is handled is described in the Privacy Policy.
12. Changes
These terms may be updated. The date at the top of the page shows the current version.
We announce material changes on this site and, if you are a client, by email, at least 30 days before they apply. Changes required by law may apply sooner.
If you do not accept a change, you can stop using the service before it applies.
13. Complaints and disputes
If something goes wrong, write to us first. We reply within 15 working days and try to settle the matter amicably.
If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence, and you can bring a claim before its courts.
For paid services and partner agreements, the written agreement sets the law and the courts that apply.
If any part of these terms is found invalid, the rest still applies.
