Risk Disclosure

1. High Risk of Loss

Proprietary trading involves substantial risk. You should never invest money you cannot afford to lose. The evaluation fee represents the maximum amount you can lose from your participation in our program.

2. Market Risks

2.1 Volatility Risk

Financial markets can be highly volatile. Prices can change rapidly due to:

• Economic data releases
• Political events
• Central bank announcements
• Geopolitical tensions
• Natural disasters or pandemics

2.2 Liquidity Risk

During periods of low liquidity or market stress, it may be difficult to enter or exit positions at desired prices, potentially leading to larger losses than anticipated.

2.3 Gap Risk

Price gaps can occur between trading sessions or due to news events, potentially triggering stop-loss orders at unfavorable prices.

3. Leverage and Margin Risks

Our programs provide leverage, which can work both for and against you:

• Amplifies Gains: Leverage can increase profits from successful trades
• Amplifies Losses: Leverage can also significantly increase losses
• Margin Calls: If losses exceed drawdown limits, positions may be automatically closed
• Over-leveraging: Using too much leverage relative to account size increases risk

4.1 Strategy Failure

No trading strategy guarantees profits. Past performance does not predict future results. Market conditions change, and strategies that worked in the past may fail in the future.

Strategies that perform well in backtesting may not perform well in live markets due to factors like slippage, commissions, and changing market dynamics.
