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

Signals are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or solicitations. You are solely responsible for all trading decisions.

5. Risk Management Best Practices

To reduce risk, we recommend:

  • Position Sizing: Never risk more than 1-2% of account per trade
  • Stop-Loss: Always use stop-loss orders (even with copy-trading)
  • Diversification: Don't allocate 100% of capital to one strategy
  • Account Monitoring: Check your account daily
  • Emergency Plan: Know how to manually close trades if automation fails
