Terms of Use

Using TFT’s work.

The terms for reading, using, and sharing material from The Fringe Trader.

Last updated: 24 September 2026.

Scope of these terms

These terms apply to the content and tools on thefringetrader.com. “TFT” means The Fringe Trader publication. The website currently provides free access and does not offer account registration or process purchases or subscriptions.

Read these terms alongside the risk disclosure, privacy notice, and advertising and affiliate disclosure. The privacy notice explains data use; browsing the site does not constitute consent to optional analytics.

Research and educational use

Research, market commentary, strategy studies, examples, and tools are for general information and education. They do not account for your individual circumstances and do not create an advisory or fiduciary relationship. You are responsible for your decisions and for checking information before relying on it.

Trading involves substantial risk. Historical observations, hypothetical results, and calculator outputs do not establish that a strategy is suitable or profitable. The risk disclosure explains these limitations in more detail.

Sharing and reusing content

Original articles, charts, illustrations, and site design are protected by intellectual property rights. Third-party material remains subject to its owners’ rights and any stated licence. A publicly accessible page is not a licence to redistribute all of its contents.

You may link to TFT pages and quote brief extracts with clear attribution and a link to the source, provided you preserve their meaning and relevant qualifications. Unless a specific licence says otherwise, request permission before republishing a complete article or report, reproducing substantial material, or reselling TFT content. Nothing here restricts uses permitted by applicable law.

Separate licence terms supplied with a downloadable resource or code example govern that resource. Do not imply that TFT endorses your product, service, or trading results. To request permission, use the Contact page.

Responsible use

Do not use the site to break the law, infringe others’ rights, impersonate TFT, send malicious material, attempt unauthorised access, or interfere with the site’s availability or security. Automated access must not disrupt the service or bypass access restrictions.

Accuracy and availability

Content and tools are provided as available. TFT does not guarantee that they are complete, current, error-free, continuously accessible, or suitable for a particular purpose. Articles may be corrected, updated, or removed. Study dates and assumptions remain important even when a page has been updated.

These terms do not exclude or limit any rights, remedies, or responsibilities that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. They do not replace protections that apply to a particular reader or transaction.

External services and purchases

External websites and services have their own terms, privacy practices, prices, and policies. A link does not transfer their responsibilities to TFT or guarantee their products. Check the seller and the conditions before making a purchase.

The refunds and cancellations page explains the current position on payments. Any paid TFT offering will state its purchase and cancellation terms before you buy.

Questions, concerns, and changes

For questions about these terms, a content concern, or an error, use the Contact page. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. Later changes to these website terms do not retrospectively remove rights you already have.
