Risk Disclosure
Effective 28 August 2026 · Last updated 28 August 2026
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose more than you expect to, and you can lose it faster than you expect to. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose entirely.
What Miller's Academy is
Miller's Academy is an educational business. We teach a process for analyzing markets and managing risk, and we build software that helps you apply it. That is the whole of what we do.
What Miller's Academy is not
We are not a broker-dealer, an investment adviser, a financial planner, or a commodity trading adviser, and we are not registered as any of those with the SEC, FINRA, the CFTC, the NFA, or any state regulator.
Nothing in our courses, lessons, slide decks, software, emails, live sessions, or conversations is:
- Investment advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or instrument
- A solicitation or offer to trade anything
- Personalized to your financial situation, risk tolerance, tax position, or goals — because we do not know them
- A signal service, an alert service, or a managed account
If you need advice specific to your circumstances, speak with a licensed financial professional who is obligated to consider them.
You make your own decisions
Every trade you place is your decision and your responsibility. We do not place trades for you, we do not see your account, and we have no way of knowing whether a setup we teach is appropriate for your situation on any given day. If you act on something you learned here and lose money, that loss is yours.
About examples and results
Charts, setups, and trades shown in lessons are teaching examples. Many are historical or hypothetical, chosen because they illustrate a concept clearly — not because they represent typical outcomes.
Hypothetical and historical results have well-known limitations. They are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, they do not involve real financial risk, and they cannot account for the effect of slippage, fees, liquidity, or the psychological pressure of having actual money on the line. No hypothetical record can completely account for the impact of trading real capital.
We make no promise, guarantee, or projection of any result. Past performance does not indicate future results. Most people who attempt to trade actively lose money.
Options carry additional risk
Options can expire worthless, and a long option position can lose 100% of the premium paid. Options are not suitable for every investor. Before trading options you should read the standardized options disclosure document, Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, which your broker is required to provide.
Software is a tool, not a verdict
The Trader's Bible, the trade journal, the scanner, and any indicators we distribute are aids to your own analysis. They can contain errors, display stale or incorrect data, or fail to load. Never place a trade solely because a tool of ours displayed something. Verify anything that matters against your broker and your own charts before you act.
No relationship is created
Buying a course, using our software, or communicating with us does not create a fiduciary, advisory, brokerage, or professional relationship of any kind between you and Miller's Academy.
