TRADING STRATEGY DISCLOSURE Updated: [Month] [Year] Account: [Account Number] ------------------------------------------------------------- INSTRUCTIONS - DELETE THIS ENTIRE BLOCK BEFORE SUBMITTING Fill every [bracketed] field. The numbers must match the settings you actually run (defaults below reflect the $300 risk model; adjust to yours). Firms differ on automation: some allow fully automated systems but prohibit high-frequency trading, some allow automation only while you are present and managing it, and some prohibit it entirely. It is your responsibility to check your firm's current terms and stay up to date with them. We cannot advise what to declare; describe your own operation. In the EXECUTION section, keep only the line that is true for you and delete the other. If you run several accounts on the same strategy, one disclosure covers them all. About this template: provided free by Clara Systems for traders whose prop firm asks about their trading approach. Personal cash accounts and self-directed retirement accounts raise no permission questions; prop firm accounts are governed by each firm's own current rules, and only those rules matter. Clara Systems is not a party to your agreement with your firm and accepts no responsibility for its acceptance or for rule changes. ------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM OVERVIEW Systematic trading strategy for MNQ (Micro E-mini Nasdaq) futures with structured risk management and defined exit logic.
