11/ Groups

11.1 Description and Creation of Groups

The Site offers Users the ability to create and participate in groups (hereinafter “Groups”) dedicated to discussions on topics related to trading, ProRealTime, and any other relevant subjects. Groups provide interactive features, including forums for posting messages and file-sharing capabilities for exchanging documents, images, or other materials pertinent to the group’s topic.

Groups may be configured by their creators as:

• Public: Open to all Users, who can join freely without invitation.
• Private: Invite-only, where membership requires an invitation from the group owner or a moderator.
• Hidden: Not visible in public searches or listings, accessible only via direct invitation or link.

To create a Group, Users must submit a request through the dedicated tool on the Site, providing a clear description of the Group’s purpose, which must align with the Site’s focus on trading and ProRealTime-related topics. ProRealCode reserves the absolute right to approve or reject any Group creation request at its sole discretion, without providing any justification. Once created, Groups are subject to ongoing moderation by ProRealCode, which may include reviewing content, suspending access, or permanently closing the Group without notice or reason.

11.2 User Responsibilities and Conduct in Groups

By creating, joining, or participating in a Group, Users agree to abide by these T&Cs, including but not limited to the rules outlined in Section 8 (User’s Liability – Electronic Communications) and Section 9 (Removal of Improper or Illegal Content). All content posted in Groups, including messages, files, links, and any other materials (hereinafter “Group Content”), constitutes Electronic Communications as defined in Section 8 and is subject to the same prohibitions and responsibilities.

Users are solely responsible for the Group Content they publish or share. This includes ensuring that such content:

• Complies with applicable laws and regulations, including French law.
• Is polite, respectful, and constructive, promoting positive and productive discussions.
• Does not harass, bully, or discriminate against other Users based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
• Avoids spam, off-topic posts, or repetitive messaging that disrupts the Group’s purpose.
• Does not contain promotional material, advertisements, or solicitations unless explicitly permitted by the Group owner and aligned with the Site’s non-commercial use policy (as per Section 4).

Group owners and moderators (promoted by the owner) are responsible for overseeing Group activity, enforcing these rules within their Group, and removing inappropriate content. However, this does not relieve individual Users of their personal accountability for their actions.

Users must interact in a manner of good faith, treating others with courtesy and respect. Examples of prohibited conduct include, but are not limited to:

• Posting offensive, abusive, or threatening language.
• Sharing illegal, violent, pornographic, or harmful content.
• Impersonating others or misrepresenting affiliations.
• Distributing viruses, malware through shared files.
• Engaging in doxxing or invading privacy.

Violations may result in immediate removal of content, suspension or termination of Group membership, or broader Site access restrictions, at ProRealCode’s discretion.

11.3 Invitations and Promotion

Group owners may invite other Users to join using the dedicated invitation tool on the Site. Invitations must be extended in a subtle and non-intrusive manner. Users are strictly prohibited from:

• Sending multiple or unsolicited invitations that could be perceived as harassment.
• Posting links to Groups excessively across the Site (e.g., in unrelated forums, comments) for promotional purposes.
• Using automated tools or bots to invite Users or promote the Group.

ProRealCode monitors invitation activity and may block or limit a User’s ability to send invitations if abuse is detected. Group promotion should focus on genuine engagement rather than aggressive recruitment.

11.4 Moderation and ProRealCode’s Role

ProRealCode retains full authority over all Groups, including the right to:

• Moderate Group Content, including reviewing, editing posts, files, or discussions.
• Appoint or remove moderators.
• Suspend or close Groups at any reason, including inactivity, violations of T&Cs, or to maintain the Site’s quality and safety.
• Access private or hidden Groups for compliance purposes.

Users can report inappropriate Group Content or behavior using the notification procedure in Section 9. ProRealCode will investigate and take action as deemed necessary, in accordance with legal obligations.

Participation in Groups is a privilege, not a right. ProRealCode shall not be liable for any loss, damage arising from Group interactions, content, including disputes between Users or third-party claims.

11.5 Intellectual Property and File Sharing

All Group Content shared in Groups is subject to Section 11 (Intellectual Property). Users must ensure they have the necessary rights to share files or materials. By uploading files, Users grant ProRealCode a non-exclusive license as described in Section 11 for hosting and moderation purposes.

Users are advised to exercise caution when downloading or accessing files shared in Groups, as ProRealCode does not verify or guarantee the safety, accuracy, or legality of such files.

12/ ProRealBlocks

12.1 Description and Use of ProRealBlocks

The Site offers Users access to ProRealBlocks, a no-code application (hereinafter “ProRealBlocks”) designed to enable the creation of trading strategy code for the ProRealTime platform without requiring manual programming. Users can assemble predefined blocks provided within the application, including but not limited to indicators, trading orders, variables, time conditions, and other elements, to build custom strategies.

ProRealBlocks is intended for educational and exploratory purposes only, allowing Users to experiment with strategy concepts in a visual, block-based interface. The generated code is exported as text or a compatible format for use in ProRealTime, but it is not guaranteed to be error-free, optimized, or suitable for any specific trading scenario.

By using ProRealBlocks, Users acknowledge that:

• The tool does not constitute investment advice, financial guidance, or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instruments, as outlined in Sections 4 and 7.
• All generated code must be thoroughly validated by the User themselves through backtesting, simulation in a demo trading environment (e.g., Paper Trading), and any other necessary testing before any real-world application.
• ProRealCode provides no warranties regarding the accuracy, performance, or reliability of the generated code. Users are solely responsible for reviewing, modifying, and adapting the code to their personal needs and risk tolerance.

12.2 User Responsibilities and Liability

Users are fully responsible for any code generated using ProRealBlocks and for all consequences arising from its use, including but not limited to financial losses, damages, or harms. ProRealCode, its affiliates, and representatives shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use, misuse, or inability to use ProRealBlocks or any generated code, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

In particular:

• Users must independently verify the logic, functionality, and outcomes of any generated strategy in controlled environments before deploying it in live trading.
• Trading involves significant risks, including the potential for substantial or complete loss of funds, as detailed in Section 7. Users confirm they understand these risks and accept full accountability for their trading decisions.
• Any use of ProRealBlocks must comply with these T&Cs, including prohibitions on commercial exploitation (as per Section 4) and the rules for Electronic Communications (as per Section 8).

ProRealBlocks-generated code and related activities are subject to the same health and risk warnings as other Services (Section 7), and Users should cease use immediately if they experience any adverse effects.

12.3 Public Sharing of Creations

Users may choose to publicly share their ProRealBlocks creations (e.g., strategies, code snippets, or descriptions) on the Site, such as through forums, groups, or dedicated posting features (hereinafter “ProRealBlocks Posts”). By doing so, Users grant ProRealCode a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to host, display, and moderate such content, as described in Section 11 (Intellectual Property) for Electronic Communications.

However, all ProRealBlocks Posts are subject to review and approval by Site administrators prior to publication. ProRealCode reserves the right to:

• Moderate, edit, or remove any ProRealBlocks Post at its sole discretion, without notice or justification, in accordance with Section 9 (Removal of Improper or Illegal Content).
• Reject posts that violate these T&Cs, contain inappropriate content, infringe on third-party rights, or fail to align with the Site’s standards of politeness, respect, and relevance.
• Monitor for compliance with rules on conduct, including prohibitions against harassment, spam, or unlawful material (as per Sections 8 and 9).

Users must ensure their ProRealBlocks Posts are original, do not infringe intellectual property rights, and promote constructive discussions. Public sharing does not imply endorsement by ProRealCode, and other Users rely on such content at their own risk.

12.4 Moderation and ProRealCode’s Role

ProRealCode retains full authority over ProRealBlocks and related content, including the right to:

• Update, modify, or discontinue features of ProRealBlocks without notice.
• Access, review, and delete user-generated strategies or posts for compliance purposes.
• Suspend or terminate a User’s access to ProRealBlocks for violations of these T&Cs.

Users can report inappropriate ProRealBlocks Posts using the notification procedure in Section 9. ProRealCode will investigate and act accordingly, but shall not be liable for any content shared by Users or for disputes arising from such sharing.

13/ Snippets

13.1 Description and Creation of Snippets

The Site allows Users to create and share “Snippets,” which are short code snippets accompanied by descriptive text (hereinafter “Snippets”). Snippets are intended to provide reusable code examples related to trading, ProRealTime programming, or other relevant topics, enabling other Users to view, copy, adapt, or incorporate them into their own projects.

To create a Snippet, Users must submit it through the dedicated tool or posting feature on the Site, including the code itself and a clear, accurate description of its purpose, functionality, and any relevant parameters or usage instructions. Snippets must align with the Site’s focus and comply with these T&Cs.

ProRealCode reserves the right to approve or reject any Snippet submission at its sole discretion, without providing justification. Once published, Snippets are publicly accessible (unless specified otherwise in private contexts like Groups) and may be used by other Users for personal or educational purposes.

13.2 User Responsibilities and Liability

By creating or sharing a Snippet, Users agree that it constitutes an Electronic Communication as defined in Section 8 and is subject to the same rules, prohibitions, and responsibilities outlined therein. Users are solely responsible for the content of their Snippets, including ensuring:

• The code is original or properly attributed if derived from third-party sources, and does not infringe on intellectual property rights.
• The description is accurate, non-misleading, and promotes safe and ethical use.
• Compliance with applicable laws, including prohibitions against harmful, illegal, or offensive content.

Users must independently verify and test any Snippet they create or use, including through backtesting or demo trading environments, before applying it in real trading scenarios. ProRealCode provides no warranties regarding the accuracy, safety, performance, or suitability of any Snippet. Users acknowledge that code snippets may contain errors, and their use could result in financial losses or other harms.

ProRealCode, its affiliates, and representatives shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the creation, sharing, or use of Snippets, including but not limited to losses from trading activities. All risks associated with Snippets, as highlighted in Sections 4, 7, and 15, apply fully, and Users accept complete responsibility for their decisions.

13.3 Sharing and Use by Others

Snippets are designed to be usable by any other Users on the Site. By sharing a Snippet, Users grant ProRealCode a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, transferable license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute the Snippet (including its code and description) for the purposes of operating the Site and providing the Services, as per Section 11 (Intellectual Property).

Other Users may view, copy, modify, or incorporate Snippets into their own work, but must do so at their own risk and in compliance with these T&Cs. Sharing does not imply endorsement by ProRealCode, and no Snippet should be construed as investment advice or a solicitation to trade.

13.4 Moderation and ProRealCode’s Role

All Snippets are subject to review and moderation by Site administrators, similar to other posts on the Site. ProRealCode reserves the right to:

• Moderate, edit, or remove any Snippet at its sole discretion, without notice or justification, in accordance with Section 9 (Removal of Improper or Illegal Content).
• Reject Snippets that violate these T&Cs, contain inappropriate content, infringe rights, or fail to meet standards of quality, relevance, politeness, or respect.
• Monitor for compliance with conduct rules, including prohibitions against harassment, spam, or unlawful material (as per Sections 8 and 9).

Users can report inappropriate Snippets using the notification procedure in Section 9. ProRealCode will investigate and take action as necessary but shall not be liable for any content shared by Users or for disputes arising from Snippet usage.

ProRealCode may update, modify, or discontinue the Snippets feature without notice, and retains full authority over all related content.

14/ Connections and Private Messaging

14.1 Description and Use of Connections

The Site provides a “Connections” feature (hereinafter “Connections”) that allows Users to establish mutual links with other Users, facilitating limited interactions such as private messaging. Connections are voluntary and require explicit acceptance from both parties. To initiate a Connection, a User may send a connection request to another User through the dedicated tool on the Site. The recipient User has the option to accept, reject, or ignore the request.

Connections are designed to foster relevant interactions within the trading and ProRealTime community while respecting user privacy and preferences. By establishing a Connection, Users agree to allow the connected party limited access to their profile information (as specified in the Site’s privacy settings) and enable private messaging between them. Users may manage, accept, or terminate Connections at any time via their account settings.

Users must exercise restraint and respect when sending connection requests. Repeatedly sending requests to the same User after rejection or ignoring may be considered harassment and could result in sanctions, including but not limited to suspension of the Connections feature, account restrictions, or termination of Site access. ProRealCode reserves the right to monitor connection activity for abuse and intervene at its sole discretion to maintain a positive and harassment-free environment. All Connection requests and related activities must comply with these T&Cs, including rules on polite and respectful conduct as outlined in Sections 8 and 9.

14.2 Description and Use of Private Messaging

Once a Connection is established, Users may engage in private messaging (hereinafter “Private Messaging”) to exchange text messages, files, links, or other content directly between connected parties. Private Messaging is intended for personal, non-commercial discussions related to trading, ProRealTime, or other Site-relevant topics, and is accessible only between mutually connected Users.

Private messages and any attached files (hereinafter “Private Content”) are considered Electronic Communications as defined in Section 8 and are subject to the same prohibitions, responsibilities, and rules. While Private Messaging is designed to be confidential between the involved parties, ProRealCode may access, review, or disclose Private Content if required by law, to enforce these T&Cs, to respond to complaints (e.g., harassment or violations), or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ProRealCode, its Users, or third parties.

Users are solely responsible for the Private Content they send or receive. This includes ensuring that such content:

• Complies with applicable laws and regulations, including French law.
• Is polite, respectful, and constructive, avoiding any form of harassment, discrimination, threats, or abuse.
• Does not contain illegal, offensive, defamatory, pornographic, violent, or otherwise harmful material.
• Respects intellectual property rights, privacy, and confidentiality of others.
• Avoids spam, unsolicited promotions, or repetitive messaging that could disrupt or annoy the recipient.

File sharing within Private Messaging allows Users to exchange documents, images, code snippets, or other files relevant to discussions. However, Users must:

• Verify that they have the necessary rights or permissions to share any files.
• Exercise caution when downloading or opening received files, as ProRealCode does not scan or guarantee the safety of such files (e.g., against viruses, malware, or other threats).
• Not share files that could harm devices, infringe rights, or violate these T&Cs.

By using Private Messaging, Users grant ProRealCode a non-exclusive, worldwide license to store, process, and, if necessary, access Private Content for the purposes of providing the Services, as per Section 11 (Intellectual Property). ProRealCode shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or unauthorized access arising from Private Messaging, including disputes between Users or third-party claims.

14.3 User Responsibilities and Liability

Users are fully responsible for all activities conducted through Connections and Private Messaging, including the consequences of any Private Content exchanged. ProRealCode provides no warranties regarding the reliability, security, or privacy of these features beyond reasonable efforts to maintain the Site’s integrity.

In particular:

• Users must report any abusive or inappropriate use of Private Messaging (e.g., harassment) via the notification procedure in Section 9, providing details for investigation.
• Violations may result in immediate removal of content, termination of Connections, suspension of messaging privileges, or broader account actions, at ProRealCode’s discretion.
• As with other interactive features, Users acknowledge the risks outlined in Sections 7 (Risk Warnings) and 15 (Liability), and agree that ProRealCode shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from Connections or Private Messaging, including emotional distress, financial losses, or harms from shared content.

14.4 Moderation and ProRealCode’s Role

ProRealCode retains full authority over Connections and Private Messaging, including the right to:

• Monitor, moderate, or intervene in communications for compliance with these T&Cs or legal requirements.
• Suspend, disable, or remove access to these features without notice.
• Update or modify the features at any time.

Users are encouraged to use these tools responsibly to enhance community engagement, but participation remains a privilege subject to adherence to all Site rules.

15/ ProRealQuant

15.1 Description and Use of ProRealQuant

The Site offers Users access to an online tool named ProRealQuant (hereinafter “ProRealQuant”), which is an automated strategy generator and backtesting tool dedicated to the ProRealTime platform. ProRealQuant enables Users to:

• Generate randomized trading strategies based on curated indicators, conditions, and logic patterns;
• Apply filters and constraints relating to performance, quality metrics, or risk exposure;
• Preview the generated strategy’s structure, equity curve, and statistical metrics;

• financial guidance,
• a signal service,
• or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument.

• brokerage fees,
• spreads,
• slippage,
• liquidity or execution constraints,
• financing costs,
• price gaps,
• order latency,
• or any other factor that may affect real trading results.

The User acknowledges that simulated performance, including backtests or statistical reports, is not indicative of future performance.

15.2 User Responsibilities and Liability

By using ProRealQuant, the User acknowledges and agrees that:

• They are solely responsible for all strategies generated, exported, or used, including any real or simulated trading decision based on them.
• ProRealCode does not analyse, validate, or guarantee the quality, robustness, profitability, or suitability of any generated strategy.
• Any code exported from ProRealQuant must be independently reviewed, tested, and validated by the User, including through backtesting, demo trading, or any other means the User considers necessary.
• Trading involves significant risks, including the potential for substantial or complete financial loss, as outlined in Section 7 (Risk Warnings).
• ProRealCode shall not be liable for any damage, loss, error, or financial harm arising directly or indirectly from:
  • the use or misuse of ProRealQuant,
  • reliance on generated strategies,
  • incorrect or incomplete configuration of the tool,
  • differences between simulated and real-market results,
  • technical issues, delays, or inaccuracies related to User hardware, network, or trading platforms.

All strategies and outputs generated by ProRealQuant are considered Electronic Communications under Section 8 and are therefore subject to the same legal responsibility regime.

15.3 No Warranty

ProRealQuant is provided “as is” and “as available”.
ProRealCode does not warrant that:

• generated strategies will achieve any financial result;
• any generated logic is correct, complete, or adapted to the User’s personal or financial situation;
• the tool will operate without error, interruption, or omission;
• backtest results or statistical outputs reflect real-market execution.

The User assumes all risks related to the use of ProRealQuant and any strategy generated through it.

15.4 Intellectual Property

Strategies and code generated by the User through ProRealQuant remain the User’s intellectual output. However:

• ProRealQuant’s internal algorithms, templates, logic models, indicators, and generation mechanisms remain the exclusive intellectual property of ProRealCode;
• The User may not reverse-engineer, extract, or attempt to reproduce the internal functioning of the tool;
• Sharing of generated strategies on the Site constitutes a license to ProRealCode under the terms described in Section 11 (Intellectual Property).

15.5 Moderation and ProRealCode’s Role

ProRealCode retains full authority to:

• update, modify, or discontinue ProRealQuant at any time without notice;
• restrict or suspend access to ProRealQuant in case of violation of these T&Cs;
• remove public content or strategy outputs shared by Users if inappropriate, illegal, or incompatible with Site standards (Sections 8 and 9).

ProRealCode shall not be liable for any dispute between Users relating to the use, sharing, or interpretation of strategies generated via ProRealQuant.
