3. Cryptocurrency Market Risks
Trading cryptocurrencies is highly risky and speculative.
Risks include, but are not limited to:
- extreme price volatility
- sudden market movements
- low market liquidity

The value of digital assets can fluctuate significantly. Users may lose part or all of their invested capital.

4. Risks of Automated Trading
Automated trading systems are based on algorithms and predefined parameters.
Even with advanced algorithms:
- trading strategies may be ineffective
- algorithms may misinterpret market conditions
- systems may react slowly to extreme market conditions

Automated trading does not guarantee profits and may result in significant financial losses.
Technical or system errors may also lead to incorrect order execution, delayed transactions, or unexpected losses.
5. Risks of Algorithmic Strategies
Strategies available on the platform (e.g., DCA strategies, grid strategies, or signal-based strategies) are based on mathematical models and historical data.
However:
- past performance does not guarantee future results
- market conditions may change at any time
- algorithms may lose effectiveness under certain conditions
Users are responsible for configuring and using trading strategies.
6. Leverage and Margin Risks
Certain trading strategies or products may involve leverage.
Leverage can significantly amplify both potential gains and potential losses.
Even small market movements can lead to substantial losses that may fully deplete your capital.
Insufficient account balance may result in automatic position closures or liquidations.
7. Risks of API Connections
To use the platform, users connect their exchange accounts via API keys.
The use of APIs may involve additional risks, including:
