Risk Notice & Disclaimer.
01 / Statement of Risk
/ Required reading · Before you participate
Sterling Capital Technologies is a trading education and software company. Everything published, broadcast, demonstrated, or said on this site is strictly for educational and informational purposes.
If you trade based on anything you learn here, you do so at your own discretion, with your own capital, in your own segregated brokerage account. We are not investment advisors. We do not manage money. We do not execute trades on your behalf. We do not guarantee any outcome. Read this page in full before signing up, applying, or copying any strategy referenced on this site.
Education first.
02 / Scope of Operation// What we are
A trading education and software company. We teach what proven trading strategies look like, how to evaluate verified performance data, and how to choose A-Book brokers with segregated client accounts.
We trade four live strategies on our own capital and publish every gain, every drawdown, and every trade to Myfxbook for independent third-party verification. The published record is the curriculum.
// What we are NOT
We are not investment advisors, broker-dealers, money managers, Commodity Trading Advisors (“CTAs”), commodity pool operators, or registered investment advisers.
We do not hold customer funds, manage trading programs, run PAMM accounts, or trade on your behalf. We are not licensed to provide personalized investment advice, and nothing on this site should be treated as such.
// Publisher’s exclusion
Sterling Capital Technologies relies upon the “publisher’s exclusion” from the definition of “investment adviser” as provided under Section 202(a)(11)(D) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and any related state securities laws. To the extent any content may be deemed to be “investment advice,” such information is impersonal, of general and regular circulation, and not tailored to the investment needs of any specific person.
Verified live. No guarantees.
03 / Past Performance & CFTC// What we publish
Every strategy on this site (Meridian Prime, Sentinel, Sentinel X, Sentinel Z) is publicly verified live on Myfxbook, an independent third-party verification service. Gains, drawdowns, win rates, individual trades, and equity curves are visible in real time and cannot be edited or retroactively hidden.
Trade history is accessible at any time at myfxbook.com/members/WhiteHatZoneInc.
// What that means for you
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. A strategy that gained 100% in one year may lose money the next. A strategy with a low historical drawdown may exceed it. A strategy that has worked for years may stop working entirely without warning.
Verified performance is what occurred. It is not a forecast.
// U.S. Government Required Disclaimer · Commodity Futures Trading Commission
Futures and Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. There is a substantial risk of loss in trading futures, options, and forex. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell futures or options. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this website.
// CFTC Rule 4.41 — Hypothetical / Simulated Performance
Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.
Brokers, affiliates, third-party content.
04 / Third-Party Disclosures// Brokers we discuss
We highlight specific brokers (currently Aeron Markets on MetaTrader and BlueStarFX on cTrader) as educational examples of A-Book execution and segregated client custody.
These mentions are not endorsements of suitability for your situation. Broker selection is your responsibility; check regulation, deposit/withdrawal terms, and execution model independently before opening an account.
// Affiliate disclosure
We may receive compensation for referrals. Some broker, software, or partner links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may receive a referral fee or revenue share if you open an account, subscribe, or transact through them.
Affiliate compensation does not change the cost to you, does not change our vetting standards, and does not influence which strategies we publish. We disclose material affiliate relationships at the point of recommendation in accordance with FTC guidance.
// External links
Links to third-party websites (including Myfxbook, broker sites, news outlets, and social platforms) are provided for educational reference. We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of external sites.
// Press & media mentions
Mentions of Sterling Capital Technologies in Business Insider, USA Today, Benzinga, AP, Medium, Street Insider, and other outlets are press distribution and syndicated coverage. Coverage is not an endorsement by those publications of any strategy, investment, or outcome.
Atypical results.
05 / FTC Testimonials & Endorsements// Testimonials and examples
Any testimonials, case studies, success stories, or example results shown on this site reflect exceptional outcomes. They are not typical, average, or guaranteed results.
Each individual’s success depends on background, dedication, desire, motivation, prior trading experience, available risk capital, market conditions during the period of participation, and the specific strategy or strategies chosen. Most retail traders lose money. We do not claim, imply, or promise that you will achieve similar results.
If a testimonial is paid, sponsored, or comped, that relationship is disclosed alongside the testimonial in accordance with FTC Endorsement Guides.
Your account. Your decision. Your risk.
06 / Personal Responsibility// Trading is your decision
Every trading decision, position size, broker selection, account configuration, and strategy choice is yours. We provide education. You decide whether, and how, to act on it.
You may pause, change, or terminate any copy connection at any time through your broker or your Sterling Capital dashboard. You hold custody of your funds at your broker at all times.
// Risk capital only
Trade only with risk capital: money you can lose without jeopardizing your financial security or lifestyle. Forex and futures trading involves substantial risk, including potential loss of more than the initial deposit.
If you do not have risk capital, or if losing your trading account would cause material harm to your finances, do not participate. Seek advice from a licensed financial professional familiar with your specific circumstances.
// Risk acknowledgment
By using this site, applying for any program, copying any strategy, or otherwise engaging with Sterling Capital Technologies, you acknowledge that you have read this risk notice in full, understand that trading carries substantial risk of loss, and accept that any decision to trade or to copy a strategy is made at your sole discretion and risk.
