1. Who we are
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the services provided by Stanchion Systems Ltd (“Stanchion”, “we”, “us”), a company registered in England and Wales, and your use of this website. By using our website or engaging our services you agree to these Terms.
2. What we provide
Stanchion provides managed technical infrastructure and setup services for automated trading — including virtual private server (VPS) provisioning, installation and configuration of MetaTrader 4/5, installation and configuration of the automated trading strategies (“strategies”) you select, connection to your own broker account, and ongoing monitoring and maintenance. We provide infrastructure and technical services only.
3. Not financial advice; not regulated
Stanchion is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Nothing we provide constitutes financial advice, investment advice, a personal recommendation, or a managed investment service. We do not recommend specific strategies, make no representation that any strategy will be profitable, and make no performance claims. All trading decisions and their outcomes are yours alone. You are responsible for satisfying yourself that automated trading is appropriate for your circumstances.
4. Your responsibilities
- You must open and hold your own trading account, in your own name, with a regulated broker. You retain full control of that account and all funds within it at all times.
- You are responsible for all trading capital. Stanchion never holds, controls, or has withdrawal authority over your funds.
- You must provide accurate information and have the legal capacity and authority to enter into these Terms.
- You are responsible for ensuring your use of strategies complies with your broker’s terms and any applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
5. Fees and payment
- Monthly subscription. Our services are charged as a flat monthly fee based on your chosen plan. The fee does not vary with your trading performance — we take no share of profits and charge no performance-based fees.
- Setup fee. A one-off setup fee may apply. Where a promotional waiver is advertised, it applies for the stated period. Any setup fee is invoiced before work begins and is non-refundable once setup work has commenced.
- Strategy licences. The cost of any strategy licences is separate from our service fees. Where you ask us to obtain a strategy on your behalf, we purchase the licence and bill the cost to you. Strategy licences are subject to the terms of their respective authors.
- Invoicing. Fees are invoiced and payable in advance. We confirm all costs in a quote before any work begins; no payment is taken automatically through this website.
- All fees are exclusive of VAT where applicable.
6. Configuration & testing
Before going live, we configure each strategy to your account and test that everything runs correctly on your setup. No real capital is committed until you confirm you want to go live, and you may choose to run all of your strategies, only some, or none.
7. Trading risk
Automated trading carries significant financial risk. You can lose money, including all of the capital committed to your account. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Past performance — whether shown in backtests or on live, verified accounts — does not predict future results. Please read our Risk Disclosure in full before proceeding. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
8. Cancellation
You may cancel the ongoing service at any time by giving one month’s written notice. There is no long-term contract. On cancellation we will stop the monitoring and maintenance service at the end of the notice period; your broker account and funds remain entirely yours and under your control.
9. Third-party services and referral links
Our service relies on third parties including broker platforms, VPS/data-centre providers, MetaTrader, Myfxbook and strategy authors. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, availability or performance of these third parties. This website and our materials may contain referral or affiliate links — for example to brokers or strategy authors — through which we may receive a commission or revenue share at no additional cost to you. Such links never affect the price you pay, the spreads you receive, or our broker-agnostic approach, and we will set you up on any regulated MT4/MT5 broker you choose.
10. Limitation of liability
We provide our services with reasonable skill and care. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Stanchion is not liable for any trading losses, loss of profits, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of strategies, the markets, or any third-party platform. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, our total liability arising out of or in connection with our services is limited to the fees you have paid to us in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
11. Intellectual property
All content on this website — text, branding, knowledgebase articles, and design — is owned by or licensed to Stanchion and may not be reproduced without permission. Strategies and their set files remain the property of their respective authors.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available on this page, with the “last updated” date shown above. Continued use of our services after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
