Master Software License, SaaS Terms & Risk Disclosure
Official binding legal standards, non-advisory technology classifications, liability limitations, and statutory SEBI risk disclosures governing all algorithmic tools provided by Mohammad Rehan / Rehan Quant Lab™.
Statutory Regulatory Risk Notice (SEBI Study Disclosures)
According to official regulatory research published by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), 9 out of 10 (93%) individual traders in the equity Futures & Options (F&O) segment incurred net financial losses, with an average loss of over ₹50,000 per trader. Over and above net trading losses, loss-makers expended an additional 21% to 28% of net losses on transaction broker fees and statutory taxes.
Derivative and cryptocurrency trading involves substantial risk of catastrophic capital loss. Never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose entirely.

Extreme Market Risk & No Guarantee of Profit
