Risk Disclosure
Last updated: 2026-10-06
High risk
Crypto trading carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for everyone. You can lose 100% of your deposit. Do not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
1. Volatility
Crypto prices can move 10–30% in a single day. They react to news, sentiment, regulation and the activity of large holders. Past performance does not predict future results.
2. Leverage
With leverage, small price moves cause large changes in the value of your position. At 10× leverage, a move of about 10% against you uses up your whole margin. The higher the leverage, the sooner that happens.
3. Liquidation, stop-loss and take-profit
When a position's losses reach its margin (the maintenance margin is 0.5% of the position's value), it is closed automatically at the market price. Stop-loss and take-profit orders are checked about once a minute against the market price; in a fast market the closing price can be worse than the level you set.
4. Operational risk
- The platform can be unavailable at times, and you may be unable to close a position then.
- Wallet networks and external price sources can fail or be delayed.
- In extreme conditions prices can jump past your stop-loss.
5. No investment advice
Nothing on this platform is investment advice. Charts and indicators are tools, not recommendations. Speak to a licensed financial adviser before making investment decisions.
6. Taxes
Trading may have tax consequences where you live. You are responsible for declaring gains and losses; ask a tax professional.
7. Acceptance
By using the platform you confirm that you have read and understood these risks and accept them. The full agreement is in the Terms of Service.
