The World's Most Transparent Algorithmic Trading Service

01Why this page exists

Most trading products oversell, hide their assumptions, and disappear when their numbers stop working. We've been burned by enough of them. This page is the antidote — written in plain English, not legal copy.

If you decide Falcon AI isn't right for you after reading this, that's a fair outcome. We'd rather you make an informed decision than convert on a hero stat and refund a week later disappointed.

02What the backtest does NOT capture

If we tried to hide this section, you should walk away. Here it is up front.

• Slippage variance. The 1-tick slippage assumption is reasonable for liquid hours on MNQ. During news events, illiquid sessions, or thin Gold (MGC), real slippage can be 2-5× larger. This compresses winners and expands losers.
• News halts and limit moves. Major news (FOMC, NFP, geopolitical shocks) can produce gaps the backtest does not model. We disable signals during scheduled high-impact news windows, but unscheduled events can still hit positions.
• Broker-specific fees. Our Gold backtest used Micro Gold futures (COMEX:MGC1!). Different futures brokers charge different per-contract fees; we used a typical retail rate ($1.50/side) — verify your broker's actual rate.
• Webhook delivery time. If signals route through middleware (PickMyTrade, TradersPost, etc.), there's a small latency between TradingView alert and broker execution. Usually under 2 seconds, but spikes happen.
• Your discipline. Backtests assume every signal is taken. In live trading, fear, revenge trading, manual overrides, and missed sessions all degrade results. The strategy is rules-based; you have to be too.
• Regime change. The test window covers roughly a year of 2025–2026 market structure. If the broader market shifts into a regime fundamentally different from what was tested (e.g. extended ranging, persistent low-volatility), signal quality may degrade until we can re-tune.
• Survivorship in the test window. We optimized parameters on this specific window and then reported the results. We disclose this — out-of-sample performance is by definition unknown.

03What we promise vs what we don't

04What could go wrong

Risks every prospective subscriber should consider before clicking subscribe:

• Drawdown will happen. Even the best backtested mode has a drawdown number. Going through one in live trading feels much worse than reading about it. Size positions so a drawdown 2× the max we report is survivable.
• Strategy degradation. Market microstructure changes. A strategy that worked in 2025 may need re-tuning in 2027. We will communicate when adjustments are made and why.
• Discretionary override risk. The biggest cause of subscriber underperformance is taking signals manually, skipping ones that "look bad," or adding to losers. The system works because every signal is taken — your discretion is the leak.
• Concentration. Falcon AI is three engines on two instruments, MNQ and Micro Gold. It is not a diversified portfolio. Treat it as a sleeve within a broader trading approach, not your entire account.
• Prop firm rule risk. Each prop firm has its own rules (consistency, daily loss, drawdown). The strategy is compatible with several firms, but you are responsible for ensuring your specific firm allows automated execution and that the mode fits their rules. Full risk disclosure →

05How we treat your money

• All billing through Stripe. We never see your card number. You can view, update, or cancel your subscription anytime through the Stripe billing portal.
• 14-day Setup Guarantee. Your subscription is charged at signup and backed by our Setup Guarantee: if you set Falcon up correctly and zero signals fire in the first 14 days, your first month is refunded. See the refund policy.
• Monthly subscriptions cancel anytime. No "you must cancel 14 days before billing" gotchas. Cancel today, access continues until your current period ends, no further charges.
• Annual subscriptions. Annual plans are committed for the year per our refund policy, which still includes the 14-day Setup Guarantee on your first month.
• No upsells inside the product. Once you're a subscriber, you get the full system. We don't drip-feed paid coaching, paid add-ons, or paid courses on top.

06Third-party verification status

Honest answer: no independent backtest audit exists yet. The numbers on this page were generated by us, using TradingView's strategy tester, on our own modes. You are taking our word for how we ran them.

What you can verify yourself:

• Subscribe, add Falcon AI to your TradingView chart, open Strategy Tester and re-run the backtest on your own account. If you get materially different numbers, email us.
• Compare our claimed live signal output to what fires on your chart in real time. Every signal is timestamped on the chart.
• Confirm the LLC is real (Florida Sunbiz · search "Falcon AI LLC").
• Confirm the Stripe billing is real (you'll see "Falcon AI" or "Falcon AI LLC" on your statement).

If you run an independent audit and want to publish it, we will link to it here — flattering or not.
