Risk Disclosure Statement
Last updated: November 9, 2025
⚠️ High-Risk Warning
Trading forex, indices, and cryptocurrencies involves SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
1. Nature of Trading Risks
1.1 Leverage Risk
Forex and CFD trading involves leverage, which magnifies both gains and losses. A small market movement can result in large losses exceeding your initial deposit.
Example: With 1:100 leverage, a 1% adverse price move can wipe out 100% of your account balance.
1.2 Market Volatility
Financial markets are highly volatile. Prices can move rapidly due to economic data, geopolitical events, or market sentiment, resulting in significant losses.
1.3 Liquidity Risk
During periods of low liquidity (e.g., market open/close, major news events), you may experience slippage or be unable to execute trades at desired prices.
1.4 Gap Risk
Markets can "gap" over weekends or during news events, causing prices to jump significantly. Stop-loss orders may be executed at worse prices than expected.
2. Copy-Trading Specific Risks
2.1 Automated Execution Failures
Copy-trading relies on technology (Expert Advisors, broker APIs, internet connectivity). Technical failures may result in:
- Missed entries or exits
- Delayed execution causing slippage
- Incorrect position sizes
- Stop-loss or take-profit not being set
You are responsible for monitoring your account and manually intervening if automation fails.
2.2 Strategy Risk
Past performance does not guarantee future results. A strategy that was profitable historically may become unprofitable due to changing market conditions.
2.3 Broker Risk
Your broker may reject orders, increase spreads, or experience downtime, affecting copy-trading execution. We have no control over broker actions.
3. Signal Provider Risks
3.1 No Guarantees
We make no guarantees about:
- Profitability of signals
- Accuracy of entry/exit prices
- Win rate or risk-reward ratios
- Maximum drawdown or risk metrics
3.2 Performance Metrics
Published performance metrics (equity curve, win rate, Sharpe ratio) are based on historical data and may not reflect your actual results due to:
- Different account sizes
- Broker spread/commission differences
- Execution delays or slippage
- Subscription start date (mid-strategy entry)
3.3 Not Financial Advice
