3. NO ADVISORY RELATIONSHIP
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
FX Navigator does NOT provide financial advice, investment advice, or personalized recommendations.
By using our Service, you explicitly acknowledge and agree that:
- No fiduciary or advisory relationship exists between you and FX Navigator
- We do not consider your individual financial situation, goals, or risk tolerance
- Signals are provided for informational and educational purposes only
- You are solely responsible for your trading decisions
- We are not registered as financial advisors, investment advisors, or fund managers
- The Service is an automated system that broadcasts the same signals to all users
3.1 Independent Decision Making
You acknowledge that your decision to copy FX Navigator signals is made independently and at your own risk. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified financial advisor before engaging in forex trading.
4. HOW THE SERVICE WORKS
4.1 Signal Generation
- The FX Navigator EA operates on our master account at Vantage Markets
- Trading signals are generated automatically by the EA's algorithm
- All signals are executed without human intervention or discretion
4.2 Signal Copying Process
- When you connect to our PAMM, your account automatically copies our trades
- Trade sizes are proportionally adjusted based on your account balance
- All users receive the same signals at the same time
- Execution may vary slightly due to market conditions and spreads
4.3 Your Control
You retain full control over your account:
- Start or stop copying at any time
- Adjust your risk settings (if available)
- Withdraw funds at any time (subject to Vantage Markets' policies)
- Close positions manually if desired
5. PERFORMANCE FEE DETAILS
5.1 Fee Structure
15% Performance Fee - Our only source of compensation
- Charged only on net profits
- Calculated using High Water Mark principle
- Automatically processed by Vantage Markets
- Deducted from your account periodically (typically monthly)
5.2 High Water Mark (HWM) Principle
The HWM ensures you only pay performance fees on new profits:
- Fees are only charged when your account reaches a new equity high
- If your account experiences a drawdown, no fees are charged until previous highs are recovered
- This protects you from paying fees on the same profits twice
5.3 Fee Calculation Example
Example: If your account grows from $10,000 to $11,000 (profit of $1,000), the performance fee would be $150 (15% of $1,000). If the account then drops to $10,500 and later grows to $11,500, fees are only charged on the $500 above the previous high of $11,000 (fee = $75).
