Risk Disclosure
⚠️ Important Warning
Trading cryptocurrencies involves significant risk and can result in the loss of your invested capital. You should not invest more than you can afford to lose and should ensure that you fully understand the risks involved.
1. General Risk Statement
Cryptocurrency trading carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade cryptocurrencies, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.
The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment. Therefore, you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
2. Market Volatility
Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. Prices can fluctuate significantly in very short periods of time. Factors that may cause price volatility include:
- Changes in market sentiment
- Regulatory announcements and government actions
- Technological developments and security incidents
- Market manipulation and whale activity
- Macroeconomic factors and global events
3. Leverage Risk
Trading with leverage amplifies both potential profits and potential losses. When trading futures with leverage:
- Small price movements can result in large gains or losses
- You may lose more than your initial margin
- Positions may be liquidated automatically if margin requirements are not met
- High leverage increases the risk of total loss
⚠️ Leverage Warning
Using high leverage (e.g., 100x) significantly increases risk. A 1% adverse price movement would result in 100% loss of your position. Only use leverage you fully understand and can afford.
4. Liquidity Risk
Some cryptocurrency markets may have limited liquidity, which can:
- Make it difficult to execute orders at desired prices
- Result in significant slippage on large orders
- Lead to wider bid-ask spreads during volatile periods
