Risk Disclosure

The Core Warning

Trading foreign exchange, contracts for difference, crypto assets, shares and commodities carries a high level of risk. You can lose some or all of your capital, and in some cases you can lose more than you deposited.

These products are not suitable for everyone. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose, and never borrow money in order to trade.

Leverage Works Both Ways

Leverage lets you control a position larger than your deposit. It magnifies a gain and it magnifies a loss by exactly the same amount.

A small move against a leveraged position can wipe out your entire deposit very quickly. This is the most common way people lose money on markets like these.

Crypto Is Especially Volatile

Crypto assets can move by a large percentage in a single day, and they trade around the clock. There is no closing bell and no circuit breaker to pause a fall.

Crypto markets are also subject to fewer investor protections than regulated share markets.

No Model Predicts The Future

The AI on this platform reads what has already happened and describes what it finds. It does not know what will happen next, and it does not claim to.

Every note we publish carries a confidence level and the conditions that would prove it wrong. Please read those, not just the headline.
