Trading & Educational Disclaimer
Last updated 13 August 2026
1. Educational Purpose
Mirror of the Trader is provided for educational and informational purposes.
The content primarily concerns trading psychology, behaviour, mindset, emotional responses, personal development, self-reflection and the author's personal experiences and observations relating to trading.
The author publishes under the pen name Gigi.
2. Not Personal Financial Advice
Nothing provided through Mirror of the Trader is intended to constitute personalised financial, investment, legal, tax or accounting advice.
The content does not take into account your individual financial circumstances, investment objectives, financial position, experience, risk tolerance or personal needs.
You remain responsible for your own financial and trading decisions.
3. No Personal Recommendation
Mirror of the Trader does not provide individual recommendations telling a particular user to buy, sell, hold or enter a particular financial instrument or investment based on that user's personal circumstances.
Educational discussions, examples, observations, historical experiences, trading concepts or descriptions of decisions made by the author should not be interpreted as a personal recommendation to reproduce those decisions.
4. Trading Involves Risk
Trading and investing involve financial risk.
Depending on the market, instrument, leverage and circumstances involved, losses can be substantial.
You should not interpret discussion of trading psychology, discipline, risk management, behaviour or historical trading experiences as a statement that losses can be prevented or that following any particular psychological approach will produce profitable trading results.
5. No Guarantee of Results
Mirror of the Trader does not guarantee:
- trading profits;
- investment returns;
- improved financial performance;
- successful trades;
- funded trading accounts;
- passing proprietary trading evaluations;
- recovery of previous trading losses;
- any particular level of income; or
- any particular financial result.
Individual results vary and depend on many factors outside the control of Mirror of the Trader.
6. Past Performance and Personal Experiences
Any past trading result, personal experience, example, anecdote or historical outcome discussed within the book or website is provided for context and education.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
A result experienced by the author or another person should not be treated as an indication that you will achieve the same or a similar result.
7. Psychological and Behavioural Content
The website discusses emotions, behaviour, cognitive biases, discipline, mindset, habits, decision-making and trading psychology.
This material is educational and reflective.
It is not medical, psychiatric, psychological or therapeutic treatment and should not be treated as a diagnosis or substitute for professional healthcare or mental-health services where those services are required.
8. Assessments, Tests and Exercises
Any questionnaire, assessment, personality exercise, emotional score, reflection exercise or similar tool available through Mirror of the Trader is intended for educational and self-reflective purposes.
Results are not clinical diagnoses, professional psychological assessments, financial suitability assessments or guarantees of trading ability.
9. Worksheets and Journals
Worksheets, journals, prompts, control plans, habit tools and other resources are intended to help users reflect on their own behaviour and decision-making.
They do not monitor the markets on your behalf and do not determine whether any particular trade or investment is suitable for you.
10. Market Examples
Where markets, financial instruments, charts, trades, strategies or trading situations are mentioned, they are used in an educational or autobiographical context unless expressly stated otherwise.
Such material should not automatically be interpreted as an instruction to enter, exit or copy a trade.
11. Independent Decisions
You are responsible for deciding whether trading or investing is appropriate for you.
Before making financial decisions, you should consider your own circumstances, knowledge, experience and ability to bear financial loss.
Where you require advice specific to your personal financial circumstances, you should obtain it from an appropriately qualified professional.
12. Third-Party Services
Mirror of the Trader may mention or discuss third-party platforms, brokers, proprietary trading firms, software, books, authors, websites, services or educational resources.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, such references are provided for context or education and do not constitute an endorsement, partnership, sponsorship or guarantee of that third party.
Third-party services operate under their own terms, policies and risks.
13. Information Accuracy
Reasonable care is taken when preparing the content.
However, markets, regulations, platforms, trading rules, technology and third-party services can change.
Information that was accurate when written may later become outdated.
You should independently verify information where current accuracy is important to a decision.
14. No Professional Relationship
Your purchase or use of Mirror of the Trader does not by itself create an adviser-client, investment adviser-client, broker-client, solicitor-client, accountant-client, therapist-client or other regulated professional relationship between you and Gigi or Mirror of the Trader.
15. Financial Losses
Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or restricts liability where doing so would be unlawful.
Subject to applicable law and the Terms & Conditions, Mirror of the Trader is not responsible merely because a user independently decides to trade, invest or take financial risk after reading educational material and subsequently experiences a loss.
You remain responsible for decisions you make concerning your own money and trading activity.
16. Testimonials and User Experiences
If testimonials, reader comments or user experiences are displayed, they represent the experiences or opinions of the individuals concerned.
They do not guarantee that another user will obtain the same result.
Testimonials must not be interpreted as guarantees of trading profitability or financial performance.
17. No FCA Endorsement
Mirror of the Trader does not claim that the Financial Conduct Authority endorses the book, website, author, educational content or trading psychology materials.
Nothing on the website should be presented in a way that implies FCA approval or endorsement where none exists.
18. Educational Content Versus Regulated Activity
Mirror of the Trader is intended to provide general educational and informational content rather than personalised investment recommendations or regulated portfolio management.
The nature of a communication depends on what it actually says and does, not merely on the presence of this Disclaimer.
Accordingly, features or communications should not be used to provide personalised instructions to a user to buy, sell or hold particular investments based on that user's individual circumstances unless the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to such a service have first been properly addressed.
19. Ask the Author
The Ask the Author feature is intended for questions about the book, the author's experiences, trading psychology, educational concepts and use of Mirror of the Trader.
It must not be treated as a personalised financial advisory service.
Users should not rely on responses through Ask the Author as personalised instructions to buy, sell, hold or enter a specific investment or trade.
20. Acceptance
By using Mirror of the Trader, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Trading & Educational Disclaimer together with the applicable Terms & Conditions.
