Nilgiris Money
Trading foreign exchange, gold, indices, and contracts for difference involves a substantial risk of loss. Markets are not predictable. Even a strategy with a strong long-term track record can, and will, have losing weeks, losing months, and — over short windows — losing years.
Capital deployed into a trading account at our partner broker, connected to a Nilgiris Money Bridge, is at risk of partial or total loss. We do not insure your account. The broker does not insure your trading positions. There is no government deposit guarantee on trading accounts outside India.
Before deploying any capital, you should be satisfied that the amount you commit is genuinely risk capital — meaning capital whose total loss would not materially compromise your livelihood, your obligations to dependents, or your operational reserves.
Any performance figures, screenshots, equity curves, trade lists, or example numbers presented anywhere on this platform — whether on this website, in webinars, in marketing communications, in the client dashboard, or in discussions with our team — refer to historical results only.
Historical performance is not a forecast. It is not a promise. It is not even strong evidence that a strategy will continue to perform as it has done. Market regimes change. Volatility regimes change. Liquidity conditions change. Strategies that thrived in one environment can underperform or fail in another.
Where worked examples ("if your account grows from $1,000 to $1,200…") appear, they exist to illustrate the mechanics of profit-share calculation, not to suggest a typical or expected outcome.
A drawdown is the percentage your account is below its previous peak balance. Every trading strategy experiences drawdowns. A strategy that compounded 25% per year over a decade still spent stretches down 10%, 15%, sometimes 25% from its prior high before recovering.
You should expect to see drawdowns on your account. We do not consider a drawdown a failure of the strategy unless it materially exceeds the historical maximum drawdown of that strategy on our own books — and even then, recovery is typically the next phase, not exit.
Even strategies that have run successfully on our desk for years can eventually stop being profitable. Market structure evolves. Correlations break. Liquidity providers change. A strategy that fired clean signals for a decade can, in principle, stop producing edge in the next year.
If our trading desk concludes that a strategy has lost its edge, we will withdraw it from the signal stream — and inform connected clients in writing. You retain the right to pause copying, revoke our authority, or withdraw your funds at any moment, with no notice required.
Your money sits in a trading account at an internationally regulated broker — not at Nilgiris Money. While this is operationally an advantage (your money never sits with us), it does introduce counterparty risk at the broker.
Specifically:
Most trading accounts are denominated in US dollars. When you fund the account from India via the LRS framework, you are converting INR to USD. When you withdraw, you are converting USD back to INR. Exchange-rate movements between funding and withdrawal directly affect your INR-denominated return.
The LRS scheme caps remittance at USD 250,000 per resident per Indian financial year, across all permitted purposes. Exceeding this cap is not permitted under the framework.
You are responsible for your own LRS-related declarations to your bank and tax authority. Nilgiris Money does not file these on your behalf and does not provide personal tax advice.
Many clients fund their broker accounts via USDT — a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. USDT moves quickly across borders but carries its own set of risks:
Nilgiris Money operates as a financial education and technology company. We are not an investment adviser, asset management company, portfolio manager, or stockbroker as defined by Indian securities regulation, and we do not hold any registration with Indian financial regulators.
Capital invested via the LRS framework into international trading accounts is the resident's individual investment activity. Any gains from this activity are subject to Indian taxation rules applicable to foreign income, capital gains, and forex earnings. Tax treatment depends on factors specific to each individual, including residency status, holding period, and the categorisation of the asset.
You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable tax obligations in India on income generated through Nilgiris Money Bridges. We strongly recommend engaging a qualified tax practitioner with experience in cross-border investment income.
The Nilgiris Money platform relies on a chain of technical infrastructure: our trading-desk systems, the copier software that mirrors trades, the broker's trading server, the network connections in between, and the CRM that surfaces information to you. Any link in this chain can fail.
Specifically:
We monitor these systems continuously and have automated alerts for the most material failure modes. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. In rare cases, a technical issue may produce a financial outcome you would not have chosen — for example, a missed exit due to copier delay.

Nothing on this website, in our webinars, or in any communication from our team constitutes personalised investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, or legal advice. We provide general information about our strategies and the framework within which they operate. Whether any of our products is suitable for your specific financial situation is a determination that you, or a qualified adviser engaged by you, must make.
