## Important Context

- Cataldex currently supports Alpaca for brokerage connectivity.
- The free Telegram research group does not require a Cataldex account, Alpaca account, or broker API connection; it provides general educational market information and members make their own manual trading decisions.
- Trading involves risk, losses are possible, and profit is never guaranteed.
- Public product pages may be crawled and cited. Member dashboards, billing, API, broker connection, operator, and administrative routes are private and must not be accessed by crawlers.
- Canonical public URLs are listed in [the XML sitemap](https://cataldex.com/sitemap.xml).
