1. Market and leverage risk

Foreign exchange and other financial markets can move quickly and unpredictably. Leverage magnifies gains and losses; losses may occur rapidly and can exceed a deposit where account terms permit. Only risk capital a person can afford to lose should ever be considered.

2. Model and data risk

A model is an imperfect representation of changing markets. Historical patterns may disappear. Data may be incomplete, delayed or wrong. Overfitting, selection bias, regime change and assumptions about costs can make research appear stronger than future reality.

3. Hypothetical and demonstration results

Backtests, shadow observations and demonstration interfaces have inherent limitations. They do not reproduce every real execution condition and do not represent an individual customer’s result. Past, simulated or demo performance does not guarantee future performance.

4. Execution and liquidity risk

Real outcomes may differ because of spread, slippage, latency, rejected orders, partial fills, market gaps, liquidity, broker rules and outages. Stop instructions may not execute at the requested price.

5. Technical, security and third-party risk

Software, devices, networks, APIs, brokers, exchanges and data providers can fail or become unavailable. Cybersecurity events and incorrect configuration can also cause loss or interruption. Monitoring and safeguards reduce risk but cannot eliminate it.

6. Human and operational risk

Incorrect settings, excessive position size, misunderstanding, emotional decisions and failure to supervise automation can produce harm. Any future release requires customer controls, emergency stopping, incident handling and clear responsibility.

7. Suitability and professional advice
