Risk Disclaimer
Last updated: 8/15/2025
HIGH RISK WARNING
Cryptocurrency derivatives trading carries an extremely high level of risk and can result in the loss of your entire investment.
Leveraged trading amplifies both potential profits AND losses. You can lose more than your initial investment.
Never invest money you cannot afford to lose completely.
Nature of Cryptocurrency Markets
Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and unpredictable. Factors that contribute to this risk include:
- Extreme Volatility: Prices can change dramatically within minutes or hours
- 24/7 Markets: No closing bell means gaps and overnight risk
- Regulatory Uncertainty: Government actions can cause sudden price movements
- Market Manipulation: Smaller markets may be subject to manipulation
- Technical Risks: Blockchain issues, exchange hacks, or smart contract bugs
- Liquidity Risk: Inability to exit positions at desired prices
Leverage and Derivatives Risks
Leverage multiplies both gains and losses. A 10x leveraged position means a 10% adverse price movement can result in a 100% loss (liquidation). Higher leverage equals higher risk of total loss.
Specific risks include:
- Liquidation Risk: Forced closure of positions when margin requirements aren't met
- Funding Costs: Ongoing fees that can erode profits over time
- Slippage: Execution at worse prices than expected during volatile conditions
- Gap Risk: Price gaps that can cause losses beyond stop-loss levels
