Terms of service

1. What x9.broker is

x9.broker provides an AI-driven trading signal and copy-trade service. We connect to your own MetaTrader 5 (MT5) account at a broker of your choice and place trades on your behalf using credentials you provide. We are a software and signals provider — we are not a broker-dealer, custodian, or financial advisor, and we never take possession of your funds.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for confirming that retail algorithmic trading and the use of a third-party signal provider is permitted where you live.

3. Your account

You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity on your x9.broker portal account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms, abuse the service, or appear compromised.

4. Trading credentials

When you bind an MT5 account, you provide a trading password that allows our engine to place orders. This credential is encrypted at rest. It cannot be used to deposit, withdraw, or transfer funds — those actions remain entirely between you and your broker. You may disconnect the engine at any time, and you may revoke access directly at the broker side.

5. Performance settlement, fees & Coverage

x9.broker is paid on a profit-sharing basis. Within each tier below, the split depends on the funded balance of the connected MT5 account at the time of settlement:

• VIP — capital-protected tier. Investor receives 20% of monthly profit, plus a 0.5 percentage-point bonus on funded balances of $30,001–$60,000 and a 1.5 percentage-point bonus on $60,001–$100,000. Includes a contractual 3% monthly floor and 100% drawdown coverage (defined below).
• Signature — higher-share tier. Investor receives 40% / 45% / 50% of monthly profit across the three funded-balance bands ($0–$30,000 / $30,001–$60,000 / $60,001–$100,000), with drawdown coverage of 60% / 55% / 50% respectively. No monthly floor.
• Institution — above $500,000: profit split and coverage negotiated individually per client agreement.

Monthly Floor (VIP only). On the VIP tier, x9.broker contractually guarantees a minimum monthly payment to the investor equal to 3% of the investor's funded balance. The amount paid each month is the greater of (a) the investor's share of monthly profit, or (b) 3% of the funded balance. The Signature tier does not carry this floor — payments on Signature are strictly the band-share of realised monthly profit.

Settlement procedure. At month-end, the realised net profit on the bound MT5 account is computed from trades closed during the calendar month and expressed as a percentage of the funded balance ("MTP"). If MTP is positive, the investor withdraws the realised profit from their broker, retains the share set by their tier and band, and transfers the remaining Software Performance Fee to x9.broker within five (5) business days of month-end. Failure to settle the Software Performance Fee within this window suspends Coverage (defined below) and may result in suspension of software access.

Loss Coverage. Where MTP is negative, x9.broker contractually reimburses a portion of the realised monthly net loss on the bound account ("Coverage"). Coverage equals the applicable Coverage percentage multiplied by the realised monthly net loss on positions opened and closed by the x9 engine during the settlement month. Coverage percentages are 100% on VIP for every band, 60% / 55% / 50% on Signature by band, and as separately agreed for Institution. Coverage is paid to the investor's broker account within five (5) business days of month-end, or credited against future Software Performance Fees by written agreement.

What Coverage does not include. Coverage is a narrow contractual reimbursement, not a guarantee against loss of capital. Coverage does not apply to:

• broker failure or misconduct — insolvency, fraud, freezing, seizure, or forced liquidation of the account outside x9.broker's control;
• market events outside the engine's trading session — weekend gaps, news gaps, trading halts, or exchange outages;
• the investor's own actions on the bound account — manual trading, changing the master password, disconnecting the engine mid-month, or withdrawing while positions are open;
• floating (unrealised) losses on positions that remain open at month-end;
• fees and costs charged by the broker — FX conversion, withdrawal fees, spreads, swap charges, commissions;
• any month in which the investor failed to settle a prior month's Software Performance Fee within five (5) business days, breached these terms materially, or where x9.broker reasonably suspended Coverage on evidence of fraud, market manipulation, or abusive trading patterns.

No capital protection; Coverage cap. x9.broker does not custody investor funds. Funds remain at the investor's own broker at all times. x9.broker provides no guarantee against loss of capital, against insolvency or misconduct of any broker, or against general market risk. Coverage in any account is capped at the investor's cumulative funded balance net of withdrawals — investors will never receive Coverage exceeding the capital they have deposited. The Coverage described above is x9.broker's only loss-reimbursement obligation and operates only within the scope set out in this section.

6. Risk

Algorithmic trading involves substantial risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You may lose part or all of your deposit. See the risk disclosure for detail.

7. Service availability

The engine runs 24/5 during market hours. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability: outages, broker rejections, latency, and other technical events can prevent trades from being placed or closed. We are not liable for losses caused by such events.

8. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Nothing on this site is financial, legal, or tax advice. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and for evaluating whether the service is suitable for your situation.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, x9.broker's aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of the service shall not exceed the profit-sharing fees you paid in the twelve months preceding the claim.

10. Permitted use & confidentiality

Access to x9.broker is personal to you and limited to the MT5 account you have bound. The trades the engine places — their timing, sizing, entry and exit levels, the signals behind them, and the methods that produce them — are confidential and proprietary to x9.broker. You agree to treat all of it as a trade secret. In particular, you agree not to:

• copy, mirror, or replicate the engine's trades onto any other account, whether your own or a third party's;
• operate or supply any copy-trading, mirror-trading, or signal-distribution arrangement based on activity on your account;
• share, sell, publish, stream, screenshot, or otherwise disclose the trades, signals, entry and exit levels, or methods to anyone else;
• attempt to reverse-engineer, reconstruct, or derive the underlying strategy or model;
• place manual trades on the bound account, or otherwise interfere with the engine, in a way that disrupts its operation;
• use the service, or anything learned from it, to build, train, or assist a competing product or service.

These obligations protect a trade secret and continue to apply after your account is closed.

If you breach this section, x9.broker may immediately suspend or terminate your access, withdraw all Coverage and any Monthly Floor on the account, and pursue every remedy available at law — including an injunction to stop the conduct and a claim for damages.

Losses from prohibited use are yours, not ours. You are solely responsible for any loss, cost, tax, or liability — your own or anyone else's — arising from such conduct, including losses on any account onto which our trades are copied and any account that acts on signals you shared. x9.broker bears no liability for those losses, and you agree to indemnify and hold x9.broker harmless against any claim, by you or a third party, arising from your breach.

Liquidated damages. If you breach this section, you agree that the resulting harm to x9.broker is difficult to quantify and that a reasonable pre-estimate of that harm is USD 25,000 for each breach. This sum is payable as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, and is in addition to — not instead of — termination, withdrawal of Coverage, injunctive relief, and any other remedy in these terms.
