GENERAL RISK WARNING
Trading cryptocurrencies and using automated trading systems involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in cryptocurrency trading can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade cryptocurrencies, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.
1. Risk of Loss of Capital
YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTED CAPITAL. Only trade with money you can afford to lose. Cryptocurrency trading is speculative and volatile. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
1.1 Total Loss Possibility
It is possible to lose your entire investment. Markets can move against your positions rapidly and without warning.
1.2 No Guaranteed Returns
We do not guarantee any returns or profits. Any representation of potential returns is hypothetical and not a promise of actual results.

If you use leverage or margin trading, losses can exceed your initial investment. Margin calls may require additional funds to maintain positions.
