Market and volatility risk
Prices may change rapidly because of economic events, sentiment, concentration, market structure, or unexpected news. Orders may execute at a different price than expected.
Liquidity and leverage risk
Thin or disrupted markets can make exit difficult. Leverage magnifies gains and losses and may create losses beyond an initial margin, depending on the instrument and provider.
Automation and model risk
Rules can behave differently when conditions change. Data errors, overfitting, latency, configuration mistakes, and software failures can produce unintended actions. Human monitoring remains necessary.
Technology, custody, and third-party risk
Outages, cyber incidents, provider insolvency, wallet compromise, network congestion, or access loss may affect funds or activity. Confirm who holds assets and which protections actually apply.
Personal suitability
Do not commit funds needed for living expenses. Consider independent professional advice where appropriate, and do not act because of pressure, fear of missing out, or an unverified claim.
