The legal implications of a student losing all their money following a UET bot recommendation
depend on several factors, including disclaimers, financial regulations, and legal
precedents in financial advisory and trading education.

1. Legal Liability: Who is Responsible?

A. UET’s Liability (Uncommon Education Trading)

● Not a Registered Financial Advisor: If UET is not a registered investment advisor
(RIA) under the SEC or other regulatory body, it cannot legally give personalized
financial advice. If a bot provides trade recommendations without proper disclaimers,
UET could be at risk of legal action.
● Educational vs. Advisory Services: If UET clearly states that their services are for
educational purposes only, then liability is limited, as users trade at their own risk.
● Negligence or Fraud: If UET misrepresents its bot as a surefire way to make money or
fails to disclose risks, it could be liable for misleading marketing or financial fraud.
● Algorithmic Trading Responsibility: If the bot executes trades automatically (rather
than providing guidance), there could be liability depending on misrepresentation, data
errors, or execution failures.

B. Student’s Responsibility

● Due Diligence: Traders (students) are generally expected to understand the risks
associated with trading.
● Risk Disclosure Agreements: If UET requires students to sign a waiver or disclaimer
acknowledging risks, it limits their liability.
● Suitability: If UET encouraged someone with no experience to risk everything without
proper education, it could lead to legal issues.

C. Broker’s Role

● Execution of Trades: If the trades were placed manually by the student, the broker has
no liability.
● Automated Execution: If the bot directly places orders through a brokerage account,
the broker may have compliance responsibilities to ensure the student understands the
risks.

2. Possible Legal Actions Against UET

1. Class-Action Lawsuits – If multiple students lose money due to the bot’s
recommendations and UET misrepresented its effectiveness.

2. Regulatory Action – The SEC, FINRA, or other authorities could investigate UET for
unlicensed financial advisory services.

3. Negligence Lawsuit – If UET failed to provide proper risk warnings.

4. Fraud Claims – If the bot’s performance was fabricated or misleadingly marketed.

3. How UET Can Protect Itself
● Clear Disclaimers: Must state that the bot provides educational insights, not
financial advice.
● Risk Disclosure Forms: Students should sign agreements acknowledging the risks of
trading.
● No Direct Trade Execution: If the bot only suggests trades, liability is lower compared
to a bot that places trades.
● No Profit Guarantees: Marketing materials must not promise profits or imply certainty
in recommendations.

Conclusion
If a student loses all their money, liability falls on UET only if they provided false/misleading
information or acted as an unlicensed advisor. Otherwise, traders are generally responsible
for their own decisions.
