Risk Disclosure
Last updated: June 1, 2026
IMPORTANT: Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. Please read this disclosure carefully before using Aphma.
1. General Trading Risks
Trading cryptocurrencies, stocks, forex, commodities, and other financial instruments involves a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The value of your investments can go down as well as up, and you may lose some or all of your invested capital. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
2. Leveraged Trading
Perpetual contracts and margin trading involve leverage, which amplifies both potential profits and potential losses. A relatively small market movement can have a proportionally larger impact on your funds. You could sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and may be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your position.
3. AI and Automated Trading Risks
- Model Limitations: AI models may generate strategies based on historical patterns that do not persist in the future. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
- Technical Failures: Automated trading systems may experience technical issues including network latency, API failures, exchange downtime, or software bugs that could result in unintended trades or missed opportunities.
- Market Conditions: Strategies that perform well in certain market conditions (trending, ranging, low volatility) may perform poorly in different conditions (flash crashes, black swan events, illiquid markets).
- Overfitting: AI-generated strategies may be overfit to historical data and perform significantly worse on live markets.
4. Cryptocurrency-Specific Risks
- Extreme price volatility — prices can move 10%+ in a single day.
- Regulatory uncertainty — laws governing crypto vary by jurisdiction and may change.
- Smart contract risks — on-chain protocols may contain bugs or vulnerabilities.
- Exchange risks — centralized exchanges may face insolvency, hacks, or regulatory action.
- Liquidity risks — some tokens may have insufficient liquidity for large orders.
5. Third-Party Risks
Aphma connects to third-party exchanges and data providers. We are not responsible for the availability, security, or accuracy of these third-party services. Exchange outages, incorrect price feeds, or API changes may impact your trading results.
6. Strategy Marketplace Risks
Strategies published on the marketplace by other users are not vetted or endorsed by Aphma. Historical performance displayed may not be verified and does not guarantee future results. Always conduct your own due diligence before subscribing to any strategy.
