Risk Disclosure

Futures markets can move faster than orders can be filled, can gap through the price where you intended to exit, and can move against a position far enough to close it out before the reasoning behind the trade has had a chance to be right or wrong. A stop order is not a promise that a position closes at a specific price.

Most people who trade retail futures accounts lose money. Nothing on this site, in the One42 tools, in the Core Program, or in mentorship changes that fact, and nothing here is offered on the basis that it will.

Futures contracts are leveraged. The margin posted to hold a position is a fraction of the notional value the contract controls, which means a small move in the underlying index produces a much larger move in the account. Leverage magnifies losses exactly as it magnifies gains.

If an account falls below the maintenance margin your broker requires, the broker may issue a margin call or liquidate positions without notice, at whatever price is available at the time. Margin requirements are set by exchanges and brokers, not by Trade142, and they can change — including intraday, and including during the conditions in which you are least able to respond.

The One42 framework is taught on NQ — Nasdaq-100 futures. It is a futures market. Nothing on this site concerns foreign exchange, equities, options, or digital assets, and the framework should not be assumed to transfer to them.

NQ is a fast, high-range instrument. Single one-minute candles around the cash open regularly cover a meaningful fraction of an entire average day's range. That characteristic is part of why the framework is built the way it is, and it is also why an execution error on NQ is expensive in a way it might not be elsewhere.

Trade142 provides educational content and charting tools. Nothing on this site, in any lesson, in any indicator output, in any email, or in any mentorship session is:

• a recommendation to buy or sell any futures contract or any other instrument;
• personalised investment, financial, tax, accounting, or legal advice;
• an offer to manage, direct, or trade any account on your behalf;
• a statement that any particular trade, setup, or session is suitable for your circumstances, your account size, or your risk tolerance.

Mentorship reviews are retrospective and educational. When James reviews a submitted trade, he is assessing whether it followed the framework's stated rules — not advising you on what to trade next. You should consult a qualified professional who knows your personal circumstances before making any financial decision.

You should not infer from anything on this site that Trade142 or James Norman holds a licence, registration, designation, or regulatory approval of any kind. This statement is under review by counsel and will be updated if the structure of any product changes.

The name "One For Two" describes a candlestick signature the framework defines. It is not a claim about risk-to-reward, a target ratio, or an expected outcome, and it must not be read as one.

Your results depend on your capital, your discipline, your execution, your broker, the market conditions you happen to trade into, and factors outside anyone's control. Two people applying the same rules on the same day can and do end up with different outcomes.

Teaching a chart-based framework means showing charts. Every historical chart, annotated example, bar-replay walkthrough, or indicator screenshot on this site is a retrospective illustration of how the framework's rules label price action that has already happened. Marking a level on a finished chart is not the same as having traded it, and it must not be read as a record of trading.

Where a simulated or hypothetical result appears

Every replay walkthrough, drill, and worked example in the Core Program is simulated. So is every result any student produces while completing it, because the program requires simulation throughout and certifies nothing about live trading. U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Regulation 17 CFR § 4.41(b) requires the following cautionary statement wherever hypothetical or simulated performance is presented, and it applies to all of it.

Any hypothetical result we publish will state the assumptions behind it — instrument, timeframe, date range, position size, and whether commissions and slippage are included. A result without those assumptions is not a result.

The One42 TradingView indicators mark and alert patterns that the framework defines. They draw levels, mark gaps and their inversions, label session extremes, and highlight the One-For-Two signature.

• They do not place, modify, or close orders, and they have no access to any brokerage account.
• They do not evaluate whether a trade should be taken, and an alert is not a signal to enter.
• They describe what the framework says is present on the chart. They make no claim that what is present will be followed by any particular price movement.
• They depend on TradingView, a third-party platform whose availability, data, and script behaviour are outside our control.

Read the method page for what each tool is actually looking at.

Trade142 does not operate a brokerage, a proprietary trading firm, or a funded-account programme, and does not hold or have access to customer funds. Any broker, futures commission merchant, prop firm, data vendor, or platform you use is a separate business with its own terms, its own risks, and its own fees.

You are solely responsible for every order you place, every position you size, every risk you take, and every consequence that follows. Trade142 has no visibility into your account and no ability to act on it. Learning a framework does not transfer responsibility for using it.

If you do not understand a risk described on this page, do not trade until you do.
