Legal, Affiliate, and Privacy Disclosures

Last Updated: April 7, 2026

1. Affiliate Disclosure (FTC Compliance)

This site contains affiliate links. If you click a link for a service, exchange, or bot platform and make a purchase or sign up, I will likely receive a commission. This does not cost you anything extra, but it helps fund the site and the bots. For the sake of transparency, assume every outbound link on this site is an affiliate link designed to generate revenue.

2. Not Financial Advice (Strict Disclaimer)

Nothing published on this site constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. I am a systems administrator documenting my own personal journey and the real-time performance of my automated trading bots. I am not a financial advisor, broker, or tax professional.

Cryptocurrency is inherently volatile. Automated trading carries significant risk, including the potential for total loss of capital. Any action you take based on the information on this website is strictly at your own risk. Do your own research (DYOR) and consult with a licensed professional before investing.

3. Performance & Backtesting Limitations

Any live bot logs, backtested data, or historical performance metrics shared here are for educational and entertainment purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Market conditions change rapidly; a configuration that is profitable today may result in severe drawdowns tomorrow. I make no guarantees regarding the uptime, accuracy, or profitability of the strategies discussed.

4. Tax Liability

Automated grid and DCA bots can generate thousands of micro-transactions, creating complex tax obligations. You are solely responsible for tracking, reporting, and paying any capital gains taxes or other liabilities incurred from your trading activities. I provide no assistance or advice regarding tax compliance.

5. Data Security & "No Guarantee" Policy

I make zero promises regarding the security of your data on this website. While the site runs on standard modern infrastructure (Ghost Pro), it is not a digital fortress. If you subscribe or interact with this site, assume your data is not secure. Never use a password here that you use for your exchanges, bank accounts, or email.

6. Privacy Policy & Cookies

This site uses standard cookies for basic analytics and session management. If you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is collected solely to send you site updates and bot logs. I do not sell or rent your contact information to third-party data brokers. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in the footer of any email.

7. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances shall the site operator (The Yield Hammer) be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use of this website. This includes, but is not limited to, financial losses, exchange API failures, platform outages, or errors in the bot logic shared on this site.
