Questions and Answers
Question: What is Autotrading?
Autotrading is an arrangement where you request AutoShares to process self-directed automated trade execution for your account, based on trade alerts published by investment newsletter publishers and trade alert services you subscribe to independently of AutoShares. Using the AutoShares AutoTrade execution program, you set your account to automatically enter and exit trades in accordance with trade execution instructions you pre-determine and set for your account. This enhances your ability to execute trade alerts efficiently, even if you are unable to keep in touch with current market conditions.
AutoShares acts solely as an order processor for autotrade execution settings you have activated in your online brokerage account. It is your responsibility to set and monitor your automated trade settings and each transaction effected in your account and to decide if those transactions are appropriate for you. We strongly encourage you to closely review each trade confirmation and account statement you receive to ensure that you are comfortable with the activity you set for trade automation in your account.
Newsletter publisher autotrading users do not receive investment advisory, investment supervisory or investment management services, nor the initial or ongoing review or monitoring of the user’s individual investment portfolio or individual particular needs.

Accordingly, do not attempt to contact publishers or AutoShares for guidance or for seeking personalized investment advice, which they cannot provide.
