🔍 Common Review Questions - Quick Answers

Q1: “Is this copy trading?”

A: No.

Explanation:

• Copy trading = Account A copies trades from Account B (synchronized, same sizes)
• NIJA = Each account runs same algorithm independently (different timing, proportional sizes)
• Position sizes scale to account balance ($100 account → $2 trade, $10k account → $200 trade)
• No signal distribution between accounts
• Each account makes own decisions based on market analysis

Verification:
See APP_STORE_SAFETY_EXPLANATION.md Section: “Comparison to Prohibited Models”

---

Q2: “Why would results differ if everyone uses the same algorithm?”

A: Because of timing, account size, and execution differences.

Explanation:

1. Timing: Network latency (milliseconds), independent scan schedules, market price changes
2. Account factors: Balance size (position scaling), existing positions, available capital, risk settings
3. Execution: Fill prices vary, slippage, order book depth, exchange choice

User Education:
We created FAQ section “Why do my trades differ from others?” that explains this transparently. Users see this BEFORE activating live trading.

Verification:
See APP_STORE_SAFETY_EXPLANATION.md Section: “Why Results Differ Between Users”

---

Q3: “Are you providing financial advice?”

A: No. We provide software, not advice.

Clear Distinction:

• NIJA is: Software tool, algorithmic automation, technology platform
• NIJA is NOT: Financial advisor, broker-dealer, investment advisor, fiduciary

Analogy:

• TurboTax (software tool) ≠ CPA (professional advisor)
• NIJA (software tool) ≠ Financial Advisor (professional)

User Understands:

• User decides whether to use the tool
• User is responsible for all trading decisions
• User is responsible for outcomes
• We provide no personalized investment recommendations

Verification:
See APPLE_APP_REVIEW_SUBMISSION_NOTES.md Section: “NOT Financial Advice”

---

Q4: “What if users lose money?”

A: They can, and we clearly disclose this risk.

Risk Disclosure Locations:

1. First Launch Screen - Comprehensive warning with risks listed
2. Strategy Activation - Reinforced before any live trading begins
3. Daily Notifications - Regular reminders about risk
4. Settings Screen - Persistent disclaimer always visible
5. FAQ - Dedicated risk education section

Key Messages Shown:

• ✅ “Substantial risk of loss - you may lose all invested capital”
• ✅ “No guaranteed profits”
• ✅ “Past performance does not predict future results”
• ✅ “Only invest what you can afford to lose”
• ✅ “You are responsible for trading decisions”

Safety Mechanisms:

• Stop-losses on every trade (mandatory, cannot be disabled)
• Daily loss limits (default 5%, circuit breaker)
• Maximum drawdown protection (default 15%)
• Position size limits based on account tier
• Exchange minimum enforcement (prevents unprofitable micro-trades)

Verification:
See RISK_DISCLOSURE.md - Complete risk statement

A: Never. Funds stay on user’s exchange account.

---

Q6: “How do you ensure compliance with financial regulations?”

A: We’re software, not a financial service, but we implement best practices.

Compliance Approach:

1. Not a regulated entity - We’re software, not a broker/advisor
2. User responsibility - User makes all trading decisions
3. Transparent disclaimers - Clear about what we are/aren’t
4. Regional awareness - Users must confirm local law compliance
5. Age restrictions - 17+ rating, 18+/21+ gate enforced
6. Risk disclosure - Comprehensive and prominent
