Risk Disclosure

Important information about the risks of trading and investing.

Warning: Trading and investing in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every person. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your financial condition. You can lose some or all of your invested capital. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

General Market Risk

Financial markets are inherently volatile. The value of any financial instrument — including stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, and cryptoassets — can rise or fall rapidly. Market conditions can change without warning due to economic events, regulatory actions, geopolitical developments, or other unforeseen factors.

Past Performance

Past results, including any performance data shown in simulation or backtesting, do not guarantee future performance. Historical returns are not indicative of future returns. Market conditions that produced past results may not recur.

Cryptocurrency-Specific Risks

Cryptoasset markets carry additional risks beyond those of traditional financial markets:

Extreme volatility: Cryptoassets can experience sudden and extreme price swings, with losses of 20% or more occurring within hours.
Regulatory uncertainty: The regulatory landscape for cryptoassets varies by jurisdiction and is evolving rapidly. Regulatory changes can materially impact asset values.
Liquidity risk: Some cryptoassets or trading pairs may have limited liquidity, leading to slippage or inability to exit positions at desired prices.
Technology risk: Blockchain networks, smart contracts, and exchanges may experience bugs, hacks, outages, or failures that result in loss of funds.
Counterparty risk: Exchanges and custodians may become insolvent, freeze withdrawals, or suffer security breaches.

Automated Trading Risk

The use of automated systems for trading introduces its own set of risks:

Software may contain bugs or behave unexpectedly under certain market conditions
Connectivity issues, API rate limits, or exchange outages can prevent timely execution
Automated systems may execute trades faster than a human can intervene
Backtested strategies may not perform the same way in live markets

Not Financial Advice

ALG7 is research and engineering software. Nothing provided by ALG7 — including outputs, signals, analysis, or documentation — constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All decisions to trade or invest should be made in consultation with qualified, licensed professionals.

Operator Discretion

ALG7 runs in simulation mode by default. The decision to deploy in live trading mode is made entirely at the operator's discretion and risk. Operators are responsible for their own due diligence, risk management, and compliance with applicable laws.

Leverage and Margin

If you use leverage or margin trading, your losses may exceed your initial investment. Leveraged positions amplify both gains and losses. You should fully understand the implications of margin trading before enabling it.
