Model Limitations: Models and algorithms based on historical data (including but not limited to: the AIVE model, the OISUF model, and the AAR model) are unable to estimate or even incorporate the effects of known or unknown future events that are not evident in the historical data (e.g. Presidential elections, the length and breadth of pandemics, earnings, central bank decisions, etc.). As a result, traders and investors must always do their own due diligence and apply their own judgment and qualitative and quantitative elements of their investment process and risk tolerance before making any trading or investment decisions.
