RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

IMPORTANT: READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING APEX

⚠️ TRADING RISKS

You Could Lose Everything

  • Algorithmic trading carries substantial risk of loss
  • You may lose some or all of your invested capital
  • Only trade with money you can afford to lose completely
  • Never trade with borrowed money or funds needed for living expenses

    • No Guaranteed Returns

  • Past performance does NOT predict future results
  • Backtested results may not reflect real trading conditions
  • Strategies that worked historically can fail in the future
  • Market conditions change unpredictably

    • Strategy Failure Modes

    Automated strategies can fail due to:

  • Market regime changes (volatility shifts, liquidity dries up)
  • Model overfitting (strategies optimized on historical data that don't generalize)
  • Execution issues (slippage, partial fills, API failures)
  • Black swan events (unexpected market shocks)
  • Competition (edge erosion as similar strategies proliferate)

    • Technical Risks

  • System downtime may prevent you from closing positions
  • API failures from exchanges may cause missed trades
  • Network latency can result in stale prices
  • Bug risks in trading logic (we test extensively but bugs can occur)

    • Slippage & Costs

  • Actual execution prices may differ from displayed prices
  • Transaction fees (exchange fees, gas fees) reduce profits
  • Slippage in low-liquidity markets can be significant
  • Frequent trading increases cumulative costs

    • Regulatory Risks

  • Prediction markets and crypto regulations are evolving
  • Platforms (Polymarket, Kalshi, etc.) may face regulatory action
  • Tax treatment of trading profits varies by jurisdiction
  • You are responsible for compliance with local laws

    • 🛡️ OUR RISK CONTROLS

    Apex includes safety features, but they are not foolproof:

  • Position limits (max % of portfolio per trade)
  • Daily loss limits (auto-pause after % loss)
  • Max drawdown stops (emergency exit after cumulative loss)
  • Kill switch (manual emergency stop button)

    • However:

  • Risk controls can fail during extreme market conditions
  • Gaps in market prices can bypass stop-losses
  • Fast-moving markets may exceed loss limits before execution

    • 📊 PAPER TRADING DISCLAIMER

  • Paper trading results are simulated and not real
  • Real trading involves psychological pressure not present in simulation
  • Simulated fills may not reflect actual execution in live markets
  • Slippage and fees may be underestimated in simulation

    • 🔒 SECURITY RISKS

  • API key theft could result in unauthorized trading
  • We encrypt keys but no system is 100% secure
  • You must keep your account credentials secure
  • Enable 2FA on both Apex and connected exchanges

  • ✅ Experienced traders familiar with algorithmic trading
  • ✅ Users who understand prediction markets and crypto
  • ✅ Those who can afford to lose their trading capital

    • Apex is NOT suitable for:
