Terms of Service for Trade Timeline Application
1. Introduction to Trade Timeline Terms of Service
This document establishes a legally binding agreement between Trade Timeline (referred to as "we," "us," or "our") and the user ("you" or "user") governing the access to and use of the Trade Timeline application and its services. The primary function of Trade Timeline is to provide a platform exclusively for trade journaling. By using this application, you agree to adhere to the terms and conditions outlined herein. The agreement becomes effective immediately upon your initial use of the application . It is important to understand that these terms apply to all features and functionalities currently available within the Trade Timeline application and any future updates or additions, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
As the Trade Timeline application evolves, it may become necessary to modify these Terms of Service. We expressly reserve the right to change these terms from time to time without providing direct notice to you. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to periodically review this document to familiarize yourself with any modifications. Your continued use of the Trade Timeline application after any such modifications will constitute an acknowledgement of the updated Terms of Service and an agreement to be bound by them . This ensures that the terms remain relevant and applicable to the application's current state and any changes in legal or regulatory requirements.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Trade Timeline application, you unequivocally acknowledge that you have carefully read, fully understood, and willingly agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy . This agreement governs your relationship with Trade Timeline and outlines the rules and regulations for using our services. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must immediately cease all access to and use of the application . This condition is fundamental to your right to use the application, as it ensures a mutual understanding and acceptance of the terms that govern the platform.
Consideration should be given to including an age restriction for using the Trade Timeline application. While the application focuses on trade journaling and does not directly involve financial transactions, users will be inputting their trading data, which may have financial implications. Establishing a minimum age, such as 18 years or older, as suggested in other terms of service examples, could be a prudent measure. This can help ensure that users are of legal age to make their own decisions regarding financial matters and to understand the implications of the data they are recording within the application.
3. Description of Service: Trade Journaling
The core functionality of the Trade Timeline application is to provide a dedicated platform for users to engage in comprehensive trade journaling. This involves the ability to meticulously record various details related to individual trades, such as entry and exit prices, dates, precise times of execution, the specific symbols or assets traded, and the size or quantity of the positions taken. Furthermore, the application allows users to add detailed notes and personal observations about each trade, capturing the rationale behind the decisions, emotional states during the trade, and any relevant market context. The application may also offer basic performance tracking metrics derived from the entered data, providing users with a high-level overview of their trading activities.
It is crucial to explicitly state that Trade Timeline does not offer several services that might be associated with broader trading platforms. For clarity, Trade Timeline does not provide any form of trading advice, financial recommendations, or signals. The application does not facilitate the execution of trades, nor does it directly connect to users' brokerage accounts for automated data import or any other purpose. Features such as backtesting trading strategies or replaying past trades are not part of the Trade Timeline service. This clear distinction ensures that users have accurate expectations about the scope of services provided.
Trade Timeline reserves the sole and absolute right to modify, temporarily suspend, or permanently discontinue the application, or any specific feature or part thereof, at any time. This can be done with or without prior notice to users. Such actions may be necessary for various reasons, including but not limited to performing maintenance, implementing updates, addressing security concerns, or making strategic business decisions. Trade Timeline will not be held liable to you or any third party for any loss or inconvenience resulting from any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the application or its features. This provision ensures operational flexibility for Trade Timeline to adapt and evolve over time.
4. User Accounts

As part of the registration process, users may be asked to complete an online registration form that requests certain information and data. It is imperative that all information provided during registration is truthful, accurate, and kept current. Users are responsible for maintaining and promptly updating their registration data to ensure it remains complete and accurate at all times. This ensures the integrity of user data within the application and facilitates effective account management.

You are entirely responsible for all activities that occur under your account, regardless of whether you authorized them. This includes any actions taken, data entered, or modifications made within the application using your credentials.
