Risk Disclosure
Last updated: June 2026
Read this before you sign up. If anything below is unclear, do not proceed. Algorithmic trading on leveraged instruments can result in the total loss of your capital — and on some accounts, debt to your broker beyond what you deposited.
1. You can lose everything you deposit
Trading leveraged forex, metals, indices and similar instruments is high-risk. Markets move against positions every day. Even a profitable system has losing weeks, months, or years.
Do not deposit money you cannot afford to lose entirely. Specifically, do not deposit money needed for rent, food, debts, retirement, your family's welfare, or any obligation you cannot replace from other income.
2. On some account types, you can lose MORE than you deposit
If your broker offers high leverage and your account is not flagged as “negative balance protection”, a fast market move can leave your account balance below zero — meaning you owe the broker the difference.
We strongly recommend trading only on accounts with negative balance protection enabled.
3. Past performance is not future performance
Any equity-curve image, backtest result, or live track record we show you describes the past only. Markets change. Strategies decay. There is no statistical promise that what worked yesterday works tomorrow.
Even our most thoroughly out-of-sample validated approaches can fail on new regimes that have never appeared in the validation data.
4. Service availability
We may have bugs. We may pause your bot to investigate. We may shut down the service permanently. We will give notice when possible but cannot guarantee uptime.
5. Risks specific to algorithmic trading
- Broker downtime: if your broker's servers fail, we cannot place or close orders.
- Slippage: in fast markets, fills can be worse than expected.
- Network outages: our infrastructure may briefly disconnect. Stop-losses placed at the broker still protect you, but new orders pause.
- Black swans: events like the 2015 CHF unpegging, 2010 Flash Crash, or 2020 March selloff can blow through stops.
- Strategy decay: what worked may stop working without warning.
6. Tax
Profits from trading are taxable in most jurisdictions. We do not calculate or remit taxes on your behalf. You are responsible for tracking and reporting. We provide a CSV export of your trade history to help.
7. This is not investment advice
Nothing on this website, in our communications, or in our software constitutes personalized investment advice. We do not know your financial situation. We do not recommend leverage levels, position sizes, or whether you should be trading at all. Those decisions are yours.
8. If in doubt, walk away
The honest version: if you don't fully understand what leverage, stop-loss, drawdown, position sizing, and slippage mean — you are not ready to use this service. Read about those terms first. Trade a demo account for a month. Then decide.
