Risk Warning & Not Financial Advice
Version 2026-10-29.1 · Effective date: [effective date] · Applies to Vettro, run by Sheldon Lines, trading as Vettro
In short
- Vettro provides information only. It never gives financial advice, recommendations or trading signals.
- Trading carries a high risk of losing money, especially with leveraged products and crypto.
- Past performance and how markets have reacted before do not guarantee future results.
- You make every trading decision yourself, and you are responsible for it.
- If you need advice for your own situation, speak to a licensed financial adviser.
This summary helps you read the page. The full text below is what applies.
1. Information only: never advice, recommendations or signals
Vettro is a market preparation, research and education tool. Everything it shows you is factual information: session briefs, news summaries, economic events, recent official results, cross-market connections, how markets have typically reacted, and answers to questions about that information. Vettro doesn't show market prices.
It is the same for everyone who follows a market. Answers to your questions only explain that information, and they never say what you should do about it.
Vettro never:
- gives financial, investment, trading, tax or legal advice
- recommends buying, selling or holding any market, instrument or product
- gives trading signals, entries, exits, stop levels or price targets
- predicts where a price will go
- assesses whether a trade or product is suitable for you
Nothing on Vettro is an offer or invitation to buy or sell anything. Vettro is not a broker: it doesn't hold money or place trades.
2. Information versus advice, as regulators see it
Financial regulators treat advice (recommending what a particular person should do) differently from information (facts and general context). Vettro is designed to stay on the information side everywhere:
South Africa: FSCA (FAIS Act)
Under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, giving “advice” (a recommendation, guidance or proposal about financial products) requires an authorised financial services provider. The Act excludes factual information, such as objective information about markets, products and events, from “advice”. Vettro provides only that kind of information. Sheldon Lines, trading as Vettro is not an authorised financial services provider and does not give advice.
United Kingdom: FCA
Regulated investment advice involves a personal recommendation about the merits of a particular investment. Vettro gives general information and does not make recommendations, so it does not give regulated advice. Sheldon Lines, trading as Vettro is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority.
United States: SEC and CFTC
Vettro publishes general, impersonal market information on a regular basis. It does not give personalised advice about securities or commodity interests and is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The same applies in every other country: Vettro doesn't hold a licence to give financial advice anywhere, so it never does. If you are unsure whether you may use information services like Vettro where you live, check your local rules.
3. You make every decision
Every decision to trade, or not to trade, is yours alone, and so are the results. Only you know your full financial situation, goals, experience and how much risk you can take.
Tiles and answers to “Ask about this market” are factual (for example, “a high-impact event is scheduled for Tuesday”). None of them tells you what to do, and none of them is an assessment of whether a trade suits you. If you need personal advice, speak to a licensed financial adviser in your country.
4. Trading carries a high risk of loss
- You can lose money, and quickly. Prices of currencies, commodities, indices, stocks and crypto can move sharply and without warning.
- Leverage multiplies losses as well as gains. With leveraged products such as CFDs, spread bets and futures, a small price move can wipe out your deposit, and with some products you can lose more than you put in. Many retail traders lose money trading CFDs.
- Crypto is especially volatile, trades around the clock, and may have less regulatory protection than other markets.
- Prices can jump past your stop-loss, for example over a weekend, at the market open or after a news release.
Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
5. Past performance and past reactions
Past performance does not guarantee future results. When a brief describes what happened before, citing its sources, that doesn't mean the same thing will happen again.
The Ripple Map, Central Banks, Trend Analysis and the Economic Scoreboard show connections and past official figures: what has been scheduled, published and changed. Trend lines and arrows describe the past only, and say nothing about what figures or markets will do next.
“How markets have typically reacted” and the coloured historical lean describe what has more often happened after similar events in the past. Past reactions don't predict the next one: the same kind of result can be followed by a very different move.
6. Information can be wrong or late
Prices, news and events come from third-party providers and may be delayed, incomplete or wrong. AI summaries and answers can contain mistakes (see our AI disclosure). Vettro is not a real-time trading tool. Always check the original sources before relying on anything important.
7. Examples are illustrations
Previews marked “Example” use made-up headlines, fictional sources and sample numbers to show how Vettro works. They are not real news or market data.
