Risk Disclaimer & Compliance Policy

Effective Date: August 2026
Corporate Entity: Weston International Management Consultancy Private Limited
Brand Name: STARK Futures Academy
Registered Location: Trivandrum, Kerala, India

1. Educational & Skill Development Purpose Only (SEBI Compliance)

STARK Futures Academy is a specialized educational and software training brand owned and operated by Weston International Management Consultancy Private Limited.

We are strictly an educational institution providing software analysis training, market data education (such as Bookmap and Level II data), and technical skill development. We are NOT registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as Investment Advisors (IA), Research Analysts (RA), or Portfolio Managers.

  • We do not provide investment advice, financial planning, or portfolio management services.
  • We do not offer “buy/sell” signals, trading tips, or direct stock recommendations.
  • Any charts, data, or market scenarios discussed in our curriculum, live sessions, or digital content are strictly for educational and illustrative purposes.
  • Decisions made based on the information provided in our courses are entirely at your own risk. Please consult a qualified, registered financial advisor before making any personal investment decisions.

2. Mandatory US Futures & Hypothetical Performance Disclaimer (CFTC Rule 4.41)

Because our curriculum covers the mechanics of the US Futures market, we are required to display the following standard regulatory disclaimer regarding simulated and hypothetical performance:

CFTC RULE 4.41 – HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL 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 PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

3. High Risk of Futures & Derivatives Trading

Trading futures, options, and other derivative products involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all individuals. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in futures trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.

You must carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition, objectives, and specific needs. You should only trade with risk capital—money that, if lost, will not adversely impact your lifestyle or financial security.

4. Third-Party Evaluation Platforms & Prop Firms

STARK Futures Academy is an independent educational provider. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating as brokers or proprietary trading firms (e.g., Topstep, Tradeify, etc.).

  • References to “funding,” “evaluations,” or “prop firms” refer to independent, third-party simulated trading evaluations.
  • STARK Futures Academy does not guarantee that any student will pass a third-party evaluation, secure funding, or generate profits.
  • Any certificates or “Success Stories” displayed on our website represent individual student achievements in passing simulated software evaluations. They are exceptional results and do not guarantee future performance for any individual.

5. No Guarantee of Results

There are no assured returns, target returns, or guarantees associated with our curriculum. The concepts of Orderflow, Auction Market Theory, and Bookmap software require significant time, discipline, and practice to understand. STARK Futures Academy and Weston International Management Consultancy Private Limited shall not be held liable for any financial losses or damages incurred by individuals utilizing the software and analytical techniques taught in our programs.
