Legal
Terms and Conditions
These terms are the contract between you and TELECAST SRL for OpenTradeStudio. They also describe how account data is handled, because the sign-up form refers to the privacy terms on this page. Last update: 29 October 2026.
1. Who these terms bind
“We”, “us”, and “OpenTradeStudio” mean TELECAST SRL, a Romanian company, CUI 14752275, Trade Register J40/5940/2002, EUID ROONRC.J40/5940/2002, with its registered office at Șoseaua Mihai Bravu 12, Bl. P21-21A, Sc. 1, Ap. 26, 021326, Sector 2, Bucharest, Romania.
“You” means the person or the organisation that creates an account, installs Research Agent, or uses the website. If you do this for a company, you confirm that you may bind that company, and “you” includes it.
The service is the website, the studio, Research Agent, market-history tools, and Automations. Creating an account, ticking the acceptance box, or continuing to use the service after a change to these terms is acceptance. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.
2. The service
OpenTradeStudio is software for research and for notifications. Research Agent, on a computer you control, can search for strategy ideas, write them as Java, and simulate them on past candles. The studio lets you read that work, edit rules, run a simulation yourself, and configure channels. Automations can watch a strategy on live data and send a buy or sell message.
We may add, change, or remove features, including during a public beta. A beta feature may be incomplete, may be withdrawn, and may be offered later for a fee. Documentation on the website explains the product. If a help page and these terms disagree, these terms prevail.
3. No brokerage and no advice
We are not a broker, an exchange, a bank, a portfolio manager, or an investment adviser. We do not hold client funds, do not manage accounts, and do not place, route, or cancel orders. Nothing on the site, in the studio, from Research Agent, or from an automation is investment, financial, tax, or legal advice, and nothing is an offer or a personal recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any instrument.
We do not ask for your finances, your goals, or your risk tolerance, and we do not assess whether a strategy is suitable for you. A strategy the Agent writes is a draft for you to read and test. You decide whether to use it. Any order is placed by your own script, bot, AI agent, or broker, under their terms. We do not control whether that order is accepted.
4. Accounts
You must be able to enter a contract. Give a real email address and keep it current. You are responsible for the password, for sign-in through Google if you use it, and for everything done with the account until you tell us it is compromised. We can reset a password. We do not store it in a form we can read back to you.
One account may register more than one Research Agent, one install on each machine. You may not share the account in a way that lets another person bypass a limit, and you may not create accounts to evade a refusal or a suspension. We may refuse a registration, or ask you to confirm that you are the holder, when the use looks abusive or unlawful.
5. Research Agent on your computer
Research Agent is licensed to you, not sold. You may install it for your own research on computers you control. You may not resell it, rent it, or reverse it except where the law gives you a right that cannot be waived. The model runs on your hardware or on a server you point at. You are responsible for that machine, for the electricity and the network, and for any third-party model licence that applies to a model you download.
The Agent calls our website to sign in, to sync settings, and to store research. Disable, in the studio, stops new research. It does not uninstall the program. Quit in the tray is how that computer stops the process. An update may install, or it may wait for you to choose, depending on the setting. We do not guarantee that a given version will remain available.
6. Your strategies and our licence
You keep ownership of the strategies, notes, documents, and other material you submit. You confirm that you have the rights you need to upload them, and that they do not infringe someone else’s rights.
You grant TELECAST SRL a licence to host, copy, display, compile, and run that material only so we can provide the service, secure it, and support you. The licence ends when the material is deleted from the service, except for copies we must keep for a legal duty, for a dispute, or for a backup that is overwritten in the ordinary cycle. We do not sell your strategies. Feedback you send us about the product may be used to improve it without owing you a fee.
7. Market data
Prices and candles come from other companies, including Binance, Alpaca, and OANDA, and from the infrastructure that stores them. We do not promise that a feed is complete, timely, or correct. The free US stock and ETF feed from Alpaca is delayed by about 15 minutes. Crypto, stock, and forex sessions differ. A symbol you add is not ready for research until its history has been downloaded.
Market data is for your research inside the service. You may not redistribute it, build a competing data product from it, or strip identifiers in order to resell it. The data supplier’s own terms apply as well. If a supplier withdraws a feed, the affected symbols can stop updating without us owing you a refund of a research result.
8. Automations and signals
An automation sends a message when a strategy says buy or sell. Channels can include Telegram, WhatsApp, Google Chat, Mail, Webhook, Discord, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. A test message is still only a test. Delivery can fail, arrive late, arrive twice, or describe a bar that the delayed feed has already left behind. You are responsible for the channel addresses you enter and for the executor that reads them.
We do not monitor your positions and we do not step in if a signal is missed. Starting, stopping, and deleting behavior follow the controls on the Automations page. A running automation can keep evaluating while the website is deployed, but we do not promise uninterrupted delivery.
9. Price, Public Beta, and tax
Research Agent and the studio are free. While a public beta is in effect, Automations is also offered at no charge, up to the create limit shown on the site. That limit is five automations on an account unless the site says otherwise. Creating another one is refused. Administrators of the service are not subject to that limit. There is no credit balance and no card charge during the beta.
When the beta ends, Automations may become a paid subscription. The price, the period, and what is included are shown before you confirm. The price presented for that later plan is 49 US dollars a month. Taxes, including VAT, are added where the law requires them. Card payments, when they are turned on, are processed by a payment provider. We do not store the full card number on our servers.
If you are a consumer in the European Union, mandatory rights about digital services still apply, including any withdrawal right that you have not lawfully lost by asking for immediate performance. Outside those rights, a fee for a period that has already started is not refunded merely because a strategy lost money. A charge that was wrong because of our error is corrected.
10. Acceptable use
You will use the service lawfully, including the law of the country where you live and the rules of any broker or venue you connect. You will not use it to manipulate a market, to evade sanctions, to probe or overload the service, or to upload malware. You will not scrape the site in a way that degrades it, and you will not present a simulation as if it were a live audited track record.
You are responsible for the strategies you run and for the messages you cause us to send. Do not point a channel at people who have not agreed to receive it. If we believe a use breaks these terms or the law, we may suspend the account, remove the material, or keep records needed to explain what happened.
11. Intellectual property
The software, the site, the documentation we write, and the name OpenTradeStudio belong to TELECAST SRL or its licensors. These terms give you a limited right to use them while your account is open. They do not give you the brand, the source of the platform, or the right to imply that we endorse your trading. Templates we supply may be used inside the service. Third-party components remain under their own licences.
12. Privacy
We process account data to run the service: name and email, credentials or a Google sign-in identifier, strategies and research rows, Agent status such as version and whether it is online, automation settings, and support tickets. Alert secrets are masked when the studio shows them back to you. The local model and the strategy files on your computer stay on that computer except for what the Agent syncs so the studio can display the work.
We use that data to provide the account, to secure it, to send messages you asked for, to support you, and to meet legal duties. We do not sell personal data. Processors can include the host of the website, the email provider, a payment provider when billing is on, and the companies behind a channel you enable. Market data providers process symbol requests as part of the feed.
We keep the data while the account exists and for as long as a tax, accounting, or dispute duty requires. You may ask for access, correction, or deletion by writing to support@opentradestudio.com. Deletion is refused where we must keep a record, and it does not erase a backup until that backup expires. If you are in the European Economic Area, you may also complain to the authority that supervises us. For Romania, that is the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing.
13. Availability and changes
The service is provided as available. Maintenance, a failed host, a failed feed, a failed channel, or a defect can interrupt it. We aim to restore the website. We do not promise a particular uptime, and we do not promise that a signal will arrive before a price moves.
We may change these terms by posting the new version on this page with a new date. If the change is material and we have your email, we will also send a notice. Continued use after the date of the notice is acceptance. If you do not accept a material change, stop using the service and ask us to close the account. Mandatory rights of a consumer are not reduced by a change.
14. Risk
Trading stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex, metals, and oil can lose money quickly. It is not suitable for everyone. Use only money you can afford to lose. Where a broker allows leverage, including on forex and some metals, a loss can be larger than the amount put in.
Simulations, ranks, optimized results, and profit or trade counts are hypothetical. They are not a record of money that was made or lost, and they are not a forecast. Many ideas can be tried, and the best past result is the one that is kept. A backtest can assume a fill a live market will not give, and it may leave out spreads, commissions, slippage, rejected orders, and gaps. Stories about other traders on the site are not our results and are not a typical outcome. Past or simulated performance does not guarantee future results.
15. Liability
The service is provided “as is”. We exclude implied warranties to the extent the law allows, including warranties of fitness for a trading purpose or of uninterrupted operation. You are responsible for the conclusions you draw and for the orders your own executor sends.
We are not liable for trading losses, lost profits, lost data, or indirect loss, whether from a simulation, a missed or late signal, a wrong feed, a model error, or downtime. Where a limit is allowed, our total liability arising out of the service in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees you paid us for OpenTradeStudio in that period. If you paid nothing, the limit is zero, except where the next paragraph says otherwise.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded: death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any duty that a statute keeps in force. If you are a consumer, you also keep the mandatory protections of the country where you live. We are not liable for a failure caused by an event outside our reasonable control, including a venue outage, a supplier outage, a change in the law, or a widespread network failure.
If you use the service for a business, you will cover claims that a third party brings against us because of your content, your strategies, or your use of a channel, except to the extent the claim is caused by our own breach. This does not apply where you are a consumer acting outside your trade.
16. Suspension and ending
You may stop using the service at any time and ask us to close the account. We may suspend or close an account if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if the use puts the service or other users at risk. We will tell you when we can do so without defeating the purpose of the suspension.
On closure, access ends. Research on your computer stops being entitled to our website. We may delete hosted strategies and research after a short window, and we may keep what the law or a dispute requires. Sections that should survive — ownership, the licence for leftover backups, privacy duties, risk, liability, and the governing law — survive.
17. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Romania. The courts of Bucharest have jurisdiction, without removing a right you have, as a consumer, to sue in the courts of the country where you live, or a mandatory rule of that country that still protects you.
If a clause is held invalid, the rest stays in force, and the invalid clause is read down to the extent needed to make it valid. These terms are the whole agreement about the service and replace earlier statements about the same subject, except for fraud. A delay in enforcing a term is not a waiver. You may not assign the contract without our consent. We may assign it to a successor of the business, and we will tell you if that happens. Nobody else has rights under this contract.
18. Contact
Notices under these terms go to support@opentradestudio.com or to the registered office on the Contact page. Please include the account email and enough detail to identify the issue. We answer questions about the contract and the software. We do not give trading instructions.
