Risk Disclosure
Please read these notices carefully
CFDs and cryptocurrencies are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 76% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how these instruments work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
Market Risks
The value of your investments can go up as well as down. You may receive less than you originally invested.
- Volatility: Financial markets can fluctuate sharply. Daily price movements of 5-10% are not uncommon with cryptocurrencies.
- Liquidity risk: in stressed markets, it can be difficult to close positions at fair prices.
- Total loss: A complete loss of invested capital is possible.
- No guarantees: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Risks of Automated Strategies
Our AI-powered trading algorithms are subject to specific risks:
- Model risk: Algorithms are based on historical data and may fail in unfamiliar market conditions.
- Technical failure: Software errors, network problems, or system failures can lead to unintended losses.
- Overfitting: Strategies that worked well in the past may fail in the future.
- Flash crashes: Automated systems can amplify extreme market movements.
Cryptocurrency Risks
- Extreme volatility: Cryptocurrencies can lose 20% or more of their value within hours.
- Regulatory risk: New laws could restrict the trading or possession of cryptocurrencies.
- Technology risk: Protocol errors, 51% attacks, or smart contract bugs can lead to losses.
- No deposit insurance: Cryptocurrencies are not protected by government deposit insurance systems.
- Irreversibility: Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed.
Leverage Risk
Trading with leveraged products amplifies both gains and losses:
- A 10:1 leverage means that a 1% market movement leads to a 10% gain/loss.
- Margin calls can force the closure of positions.
- You can lose more than your original deposit.
Warning: leverage should only be used by experienced investors who fully understand and can bear the risk.

- Diversify your investments across different asset classes.
- Use stop-loss orders to cap losses.
