Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent real trading. Since trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact of certain market factors, such as liquidity. Simulated trading programs are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
Clara Systems is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor (CTA), or futures commission merchant, and is not registered with or regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the National Futures Association (NFA), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), or any equivalent authority. We do not manage money, hold customer funds, or place trades on anyone's behalf.
Clara Core is a piece of software you run on your own account, under your own control. Nothing on this website is personalized investment advice, a recommendation to trade, or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument. The performance data is a factual, reproducible record of how the software behaved on historical market data; it is shared for transparency and education, not as a promise or projection of what your results will be. Your results will depend on your own decisions, your risk settings, market conditions, and factors outside anyone's control.
Every figure on this site is reproducible from the downloadable trade exports. We make no claim, express or implied, that you will achieve similar results, and we would rather you verify our numbers yourself than take them on faith.
Trading futures involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Consider your financial situation, experience, and risk tolerance carefully, and if you are unsure, consult a licensed financial professional before trading.
Past performance, whether simulated or live, does not guarantee future results.
All examples, performance data, and scenarios are for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
You are responsible for your own trading decisions, risk management, and compliance with any prop firm or brokerage rules.
We provide guidance based on the strategy's historical backtested behavior. Nothing here is personalized financial advice.
All decisions, configurations, and best practices shared are based on this historical data.
These are not personalized recommendations and may not be suitable for all users.
Markets change over time. Performance can vary due to evolving market conditions, volatility, and macroeconomic factors.
There are no guarantees of performance.
All results presented are backtested and intended to provide transparency, not certainty.
You are responsible for your own trading decisions, risk management, and use of the system.
We provide the data and structure so you can make informed decisions based on your own risk tolerance.
Clara Systems operates using third-party platforms and services, including but not limited to trading platforms, broker connections, prop firms, data feeds, and VPS providers.
We do not control these services and are not responsible for outages, execution delays, connection failures, or technical issues that may occur.
No system is immune to errors, interruptions, or unexpected behavior.
By using this system, you acknowledge that technical risks exist and accept full responsibility for managing them.
Clara Systems is not liable for financial losses caused by NinjaTrader platform errors, Tradovate API disconnections, prop firm rule changes, or internet latency. Automated execution can result in fills that differ from historical backtests due to slippage and real-world market conditions.
Even running identical settings on the same day, results differ between accounts: fill speed, slippage, latency, broker and data-feed differences, account type, firm rules, and hardware or VPS environment all move outcomes by dollars in either direction.
The live execution record being built on the performance page will show this spread honestly. Your results will not match ours, or anyone else's, exactly. Small differences are a property of live markets, not a defect.
Clara Systems is a publisher of automated trading software and statistical data for educational purposes only.
Clara Systems does not provide personalized trading advice. All risk models are based on static historical parameters and are not recommendations tailored to any individual's financial situation. Use of the software is at the sole discretion and risk of the user.
No automated strategy is free from potential errors or unexpected behavior.
Markets change, and system performance may vary over time.
Users should understand how the system operates and monitor their accounts accordingly.
Clara Systems provides the Clara Core strategy "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
Clara Systems shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential financial losses resulting from software errors, logic failures, execution delays, or technical interruptions, regardless of whether Clara Systems was advised of the possibility of such losses.
You execute this strategy entirely at your own risk. You are solely responsible for monitoring its behavior and managing your account.

We want you to share your honest experience with Clara Core, good or bad. We do not restrict reviews, and we will never penalize anyone for posting an honest assessment of our software, our data, or our conduct. We built this entire project on transparency; asking you to stay quiet about it would contradict everything we stand for.
If something is not working, or a number on this site does not match what you see, tell us at hello@clarasystems.io. We would rather hear it from you and fix it. Honest criticism makes the work better.
We do not currently display testimonials. If user results ever appear on our channels, they will be unpaid and unsolicited, shown with the same honesty as everything else, and individual results vary; no single user's outcome is typical of what any other user should expect.
Monte Carlo analysis performed using 10,000 randomized simulations of the system's 1,517 historical trades (May 2019 – June 2026).
Each simulation randomly reorders the same trades and calculates the resulting maximum drawdown. This illustrates how trade sequence affects drawdown risk when trade outcomes remain constant.
Same trades. Same total profit. Different order. Different drawdown.
Results represent statistical analysis of historical data and do not predict future performance.
All performance figures are displayed rounded to the nearest dollar, while the underlying trade data contains exact decimal values. When rounded monthly figures are summed, they are reconciled so that the displayed months add up exactly to the displayed year, and the displayed years add up exactly to the displayed total. This reconciliation adjusts individual displayed values by at most one dollar so that no visible total is internally inconsistent. The exact, unrounded figures are always available in the downloadable trade exports, which are the authoritative source for every number on this site. Any difference of a dollar or less between a displayed figure and a hand-calculation from rounded values is a display-rounding artifact, not a data discrepancy.
Source data is available for download and independent verification.

You agree to review and accept all applicable terms, disclosures, and disclaimers provided on this website.
We may update, revise, or replace these terms, disclosures, and disclaimers at any time and without prior notice, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these terms waives any right or remedy you may have under the consumer-protection laws that apply to you, or requires you to bring a claim in a forum that would cost more to access than the value of the claim. We are not interested in using fine print to take away rights you are entitled to.
