5. Backtesting and Hypothetical Performance
Backtested and simulated results shown on the CHARTON platform are hypothetical and have inherent limitations:

- Hypothetical performance results are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight.
- No representation is made that any account will achieve results similar to those shown.
- Backtested results may reflect over-optimization (“curve fitting”) to historical data.
6. AI and Automated Systems
- AI-generated outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading.
- AI systems may produce unexpected or erroneous results, including so-called “hallucinations.”
