Risk disclosure

1. You can lose money

Trading carries risk of loss. Automating it does not remove that risk — it removes the delay between a decision and its execution, which cuts both ways.

Decide what you can afford to lose before you set a limit, not after. If losing the amount you are about to expose would change your life, do not expose it.

2. Leverage and liquidation

Futures strategies use leverage. Leverage multiplies both directions: a small move against a leveraged position can lose more than the amount committed to it, and your exchange can liquidate the position before any instruction from us arrives.

Some supported venues offer leverage up to 125x. High leverage is not a feature to reach for because it is available.

3. Drawdown is normal, not a malfunction

Every strategy on this platform publishes its max drawdown and its worst losing streak precisely because both are expected. A strategy with a 60% win rate still loses four in a row regularly.

The platform stops opening after 6% down on the day or 12% on the week, and drops back to base risk after three consecutive losses. Those cuts limit the pace of a bad run. They do not make a bad run impossible.

4. Past results do not predict future results

Published metrics are measured on trades the platform executed and closed. They describe what already happened under conditions that no longer exist.

A strategy that worked in one market regime can fail in the next one. The number of closed trades behind a figure is published next to it so you can judge how much weight it deserves.

5. What paper trading cannot tell you

Paper trading uses real prices and every platform rule, but it does not model fees or slippage. That makes a paper result a ceiling, not a promise: a live account will come in under it.

It also cannot reproduce the part that breaks most people, which is what you do when a real balance is falling.

6. What backtesting cannot tell you

Backtests charge a fee per side and the slippage you set, but they do not model the impact of your own order on the market, gaps straight through a stop, or perpetual funding.

Use a backtest to compare strategies and assets against each other. Do not read one exact number off a single run and treat it as an expectation.

7. Exchange and counterparty risk

Your funds stay at your exchange, which means your exchange's risk stays yours: outages, order rejections, changed margin rules, delistings, restrictions on your account, insolvency.

We can neither prevent those events nor compensate you for them.

8. Technology risk

Software, networks and third-party APIs fail. During an interruption, strategies may not open, manage or close positions, and a stop managed by the platform rather than natively by your exchange may not fire.

You can always act directly at your exchange, and Stop everything is there to close what is open and pause what is running.

9. Crypto-specific risk

Crypto markets trade around the clock, move violently, and can become illiquid without warning. Regulatory treatment varies by country and can change quickly, including in ways that restrict your access to a venue or an asset.

10. This is not advice

ActionTraderPro executes and measures strategies. It does not assess whether a strategy suits your circumstances, and nothing on this site or in the product is investment, legal or tax advice.

If you need advice, get it from someone licensed to give it where you live.
