Risk Disclosure

1. Important notice

Trading and investing involve the risk of financial loss. Losses may include part or all of the capital allocated to a trading account, and leveraged instruments may produce losses greater than the initial deposit.

cTrader tools, Copy strategies, cBots, indicators, plugins and third-party trading components should be reviewed in relation to product mechanics, fees, broker conditions, account permissions and risk tolerance before use.

2. No investment advice

This page provides general technical and informational material only. It does not constitute investment advice, financial planning, tax advice, legal advice, trade execution, asset management, suitability assessment or a guarantee of results.

Trading decisions remain the responsibility of the account holder. Historical performance, strategy descriptions, rankings, ratings, product pages and help content should not be treated as a recommendation to buy, sell, copy or automate any transaction.

3. Market and price risk

Financial markets can be affected by liquidity, interest rates, economic data, policy changes, geopolitical events, trading sessions, market sentiment and unexpected volatility.

• Prices may move quickly, causing stop-loss, take-profit or order execution levels to differ from expected prices.
• Market gaps, low liquidity or extreme conditions can increase slippage or prevent execution.
• Spreads, quotes and trading conditions may change by instrument, session, broker and market environment.

4. Leverage and margin risk

Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. Small price movements can have a significant impact on account equity and may trigger margin calls, stop-outs, forced liquidation or internal risk limits.

• High leverage is not suitable for every trader or every strategy.
• Account equity, available margin, position size, stop-loss placement and instrument volatility directly affect risk exposure.
• Margin rules, stop-out levels, spreads, commissions and execution conditions vary between brokers.

5. Copy trading risk

Copy trading may replicate the actions of a strategy provider according to platform rules and account settings, but copied results may differ from the provider’s displayed performance and are not guaranteed to be profitable.

• Strategy providers may change trading style, instruments, position size, frequency or risk level.
• Allocation size, copy ratio, latency, slippage, spreads, commission, account currency and broker conditions can affect results.
• Maximum drawdown, historical return, strategy age and rankings are reference data only and do not predict future performance.
• Before stopping a copy relationship, open positions, pending orders, exposure, fees and account risk should be reviewed.

6. cBot and automated trading risk

cBots and automated strategies execute according to preset rules, but actual performance depends on strategy logic, parameters, market conditions, broker execution, account permissions and platform compatibility.

• Incorrect parameters, over-optimization, platform updates, abnormal market conditions or network interruptions can lead to unexpected trades.
• Automated systems may open repeated positions, add to losing positions or increase exposure during volatile periods.
• Backtesting, demo observation and small-scale validation should be completed before live deployment.

7. Indicator and plugin risk

Indicators and plugins are used for analysis, alerts, workflow support or platform extension. They should not be treated as certain buy or sell signals or as a replacement for independent risk assessment.

• Indicators may lag, repaint, use unsuitable parameters or behave differently across timeframes and instruments.
• Plugins may require specific platform versions, permissions, account conditions or third-party services.
• Any tool may contain errors, compatibility issues, conflicts with other tools or limitations under live market conditions.

8. Backtesting and historical results

Backtests, demo results, historical returns, equity curves, win rates, drawdowns and rankings reflect specific data and assumptions. They cannot guarantee future live performance.

• Backtests may be affected by data quality, spread assumptions, slippage, commission, execution speed and trading session filters.
• Overfitting may produce strong historical results that fail in future market conditions.
• Demo accounts do not fully reproduce live liquidity, execution pressure, psychology, costs or account constraints.

9. Technology and execution risk

Websites, cTrader, broker systems, cloud services and third-party tools may experience technical failure, network latency, maintenance, data errors, API issues, device problems or execution interruptions.

• Orders may be delayed, rejected, duplicated, partially filled or executed at a different price.
• Browsers, operating systems, mobile devices, security software and network environments can affect download, login and runtime behavior.
• Account status, positions, orders, logs, parameters and platform notifications should be checked regularly.

10. Broker and third-party risk

Trading tools, cBots, indicators, plugins, Copy strategies, brokers, payment services and platform providers may be operated by independent third parties. Their own terms, privacy policies, fee rules and risk statements may apply.

Display, listing, comparison or linking does not guarantee quality, profitability, compliance, compatibility, continuous availability or suitability. Third-party information should be reviewed before any tool or service is used.

11. Fees, subscriptions and tax

Trading and tool usage may involve spreads, commissions, swaps, platform charges, subscription fees, performance fees, payment channel fees, exchange-rate differences, taxes and third-party service fees. These costs reduce net results and may continue during losing periods.

Before subscribing, price, billing cycle, renewal terms, cancellation process, refund conditions and invoice rules should be reviewed.

12. User responsibility

Before using any trading tool, the account holder is responsible for:

• Confirming the required trading knowledge, risk tolerance and legal eligibility in the relevant jurisdiction.
• Understanding product descriptions, parameters, permissions, fees, broker conditions and potential loss ranges.
• Managing risk through demo testing, small allocation, stop-loss controls, position limits and ongoing monitoring.
• Protecting accounts, passwords, devices, verification codes, API permissions and platform connection settings.
