Founding Member Extension Policy

1. Purpose

The extension provides a defined service benefit based on the official performance of the L2 Signals signal engine during the applicable measurement period.

2. Eligibility

The extension is available exclusively to eligible participants in the Founding Members Programme, which is limited and invitation-based. To qualify, a member must have an eligible first paid subscription and comply with the applicable programme terms. It may be granted only once per member and does not apply to subsequent paid months.

3. Performance measurement period

Official performance is measured using calendar months — each period runs from 00:00 on the first day to 23:59:59 on the final day of the month, using West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1). Monthly net R resets to zero at the start of each new month.

The measurement period does not shift according to an individual member's activation, renewal or payment date. A member who subscribes or pays partway through a month is assessed against the official performance for the applicable calendar month, subject to the programme's eligibility rules. The detailed methodology is in the Performance Measurement Policy.

4. Official performance determines eligibility

Eligibility is determined exclusively by the official cumulative net R recorded by the signal engine for the applicable period. Members' personal account results — balances, monetary profit/loss, personal net R, win rates and execution outcomes — are not used. The official calculation is independent of the founder's personal trading account, ensuring decisions follow the systematic engine's recorded outcomes rather than discretionary decisions.

5. Eligibility thresholds

Once the monthly performance result has been finalised:

A confirmed official net R below zero qualifies. Zero R does not qualify, and neither does any positive result. Eligibility is not determined by the number of winning or losing signals alone, but by the final official net R calculation. Examples: −3R qualifies; 0R does not; +2.5R does not; a month with no eligible completed signals gives 0R and does not qualify.

6. Month-end finalisation

The calculation begins at the end of the final calendar day of the month. Signals published during the period that remain open at the cutoff continue to be tracked until their outcomes are finalised, and the monthly result remains provisional while signals are unresolved. Eligibility is confirmed only after the official monthly result is finalised. Signals are attributed to the month in which they were published; an outcome finalised in the following month does not transfer the signal to that month's calculation. This prevents decisions being based on incomplete results.

7. Extension benefit

An eligible founding member receives one additional month of access to the designated members-only service. For clarity, that additional access period equals the current standard subscription period (currently 30 days), unless the applicable programme terms state otherwise. The extension provides additional access without an additional charge for that period, does not constitute a cash refund, does not reimburse personal trading losses, does not guarantee that future signals will be profitable, does not guarantee a minimum number of signals during the period, and does not create a recurring entitlement to additional free months.

8. Timing of the extension

Eligibility is determined after the official monthly net R is finalised. L2 Signals communicates the result to eligible members through the designated official channel, and the additional access period begins after eligibility is confirmed and the extension activated. If finalisation is delayed because signals remain unresolved, activation may also be delayed; material delays and expected arrangements are communicated to affected members. The activation and expiry dates are recorded in the subscription administration records.

9. Member execution responsibility

The extension is based on official performance, not on individual account outcomes. Members are responsible for following published entry conditions, stop-loss, take-profit and subsequent updates. If a member changes a take-profit, widens or removes a stop-loss, enters at a different price, ignores a cancellation, or otherwise deviates, the resulting personal outcome does not change the official signal result. A personal trading loss does not independently establish eligibility if the official monthly net R is positive. This applies consistently to all eligible founding members.

10. No-signal periods

Signals are generated only when the predefined strategy conditions and filters are satisfied; the platform is not required to generate signals every day or to create trades to maintain activity. If no eligible completed signals are recorded during the month, the official net R is zero, which does not qualify an eligible founding member for the one-time extension.

11. No cash alternative

The extension is a service-access benefit with no cash alternative. A qualifying member cannot request a cash payment in place of the additional access month. It does not represent compensation for personal trading losses or an admission that an individual outcome should have matched the official signal outcome. Any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected.

12. Cancellation and renewal

After the additional access month, the member may choose whether to renew at the applicable published price. The extension does not automatically entitle the member to further free access periods. If the member chooses not to renew, access may expire at the end of the extension period in accordance with the subscription terms. Cancellation does not change the official performance calculation or the eligibility determination.

13. Records and disputes

L2 Signals maintains records supporting extension decisions — the applicable calendar-month measurement period, official signal outcomes and R values, the final monthly net R calculation, the eligibility decision, the date it was communicated, and the activation and expiry dates where applicable. A member who disputes a decision may request a review through the designated official contact channel. Reviews use the official signal records and applicable published policies, and any correction must be supported by the official records and applied consistently.

14. Relationship with other policies

This policy is read alongside the Founding Members Programme, Subscription Terms & Conditions, Performance Measurement Policy, Signal Access & Delivery Policy, and Trading Risk Disclosure. If policies contain inconsistent provisions concerning extension eligibility or calculation, L2 Signals must resolve the inconsistency before relying on the affected provision.

15. Acknowledgement

Participation in the Founding Members Programme constitutes acknowledgement that the extension is conditional and available only once; official monthly net R determines eligibility; a confirmed net R below zero qualifies an eligible founding member; individual account results do not determine eligibility; the measurement cycle follows calendar months regardless of individual payment timing; the final monthly calculation may be delayed until outstanding signals are resolved; the extension provides additional service access rather than cash compensation; and future signals and outcomes are not guaranteed.
