Risk Disclosure & Legal Consent

Trading financial instruments, including but not limited to cryptocurrencies, forex, options, and derivatives, involves substantial risk of loss. You may lose all of your invested capital. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely.

Past performance of any trading strategy, algorithm, or individual trade is not indicative of future results. Markets are inherently unpredictable. No system — human or automated — can guarantee profitable outcomes.

AlphaTerminal provides tools, signals, and automation features for informational and educational purposes. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions.

Volatility. Cryptocurrency markets operate 24/7 and are subject to extreme price swings. An asset may lose 50% or more of its value within hours. Price gaps can occur without warning due to exchange outages, regulatory announcements, or large-order activity.

Exchange risk. Cryptocurrency exchanges are not regulated like traditional financial institutions. Exchange failures, hacks, insolvency, or fraud are real risks. AlphaTerminal connects to third-party exchanges (Binance, Bybit, and others) but has no control over their operations, solvency, or security. Funds held on an exchange are at the exchange's risk.

Custody risk. Funds held on an exchange are custodied by that exchange, not by AlphaTerminal. You are responsible for the security of your exchange API keys. Compromise of your API keys can result in loss of funds. AlphaTerminal encrypts stored API keys but cannot guarantee zero-risk custody.

Regulatory risk. Cryptocurrency laws and regulations change rapidly across jurisdictions. Your use of this platform may be restricted or prohibited in your region. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws.

Leverage. Forex trading often involves leverage, which amplifies both gains and losses. A small adverse price movement can result in a loss exceeding your initial margin deposit. You may be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your position or face automatic liquidation.

Margin calls. If your account equity falls below the required margin level, positions will be closed automatically. This can happen rapidly in fast-moving markets and may result in losses greater than your account balance.

Counterparty risk. Forex trades executed through brokers such as OANDA involve counterparty risk. The broker's financial health, liquidity, and operational continuity directly affect your ability to trade and withdraw funds.

Market hours and liquidity. Forex markets have periods of low liquidity (e.g., market opens, holidays) during which spreads widen significantly, and slippage on orders may be substantial.

AI trading bots can and will lose money. AI-generated signals and automated trading systems are based on statistical models trained on historical data. These models do not predict the future. Market conditions can change in ways that render a previously effective strategy unprofitable or catastrophic.

No guarantee of profit. AlphaTerminal's AI Auto-Trader, 0DTE Autopilot, Grid Bots, Elite/Lotto Mode, and all other automated trading features carry no guarantee of profitability. You may lose your entire allocated capital.

System failures. Automated systems can fail due to software bugs, network outages, exchange API changes, or unexpected market conditions. Orders may not execute as intended, may execute at unexpected prices, or may fail to execute at all during system failures.

Backtesting limitations. Any backtest results shown are based on historical data under assumed conditions. Backtests do not account for slippage, liquidity constraints, fees, or the impact of your own orders on the market. Real-world performance will differ.

Past performance does not equal future results. A trader with an excellent historical track record may experience future losses. Copying another trader's positions does not guarantee that you will achieve similar results, as timing, capital size, fees, and market conditions differ.

Whale signal risks. Signals derived from large wallet movements (whale activity) may reflect strategies, portfolios, and risk tolerances that are incompatible with your own financial situation. Whale traders may have hedging positions or information you do not have access to.

Delay and slippage. Copied trades are executed after detection of the original trade. Delays in detection and execution can result in significantly worse entry prices than the original trader received.

Smart contract risk. Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols operate through smart contracts. These contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or be subject to exploits. Funds deposited into smart contracts can be lost permanently if the contract is hacked or has a critical flaw.

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value). Blockchain transactions can be front-run or sandwiched by miners or automated bots seeking to extract value from pending transactions. This may result in worse execution prices than expected.

Impermanent loss. Providing liquidity to automated market makers (AMMs) exposes you to impermanent loss — a reduction in value relative to simply holding the underlying assets — when asset prices diverge significantly.

Bridge and protocol risk. Cross-chain bridges and third-party DeFi protocols used by the DeFi Autopilot feature carry additional risks including bridge exploits, oracle manipulation, and liquidity crises.
