Risk Disclosure Statement

Last updated: 10 May 2026

This Risk Disclosure forms part of our Terms of Service and applies to all users of LiveTradingAI. By using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accept the risks below.

1. General trading risk

• Capital loss. Markets move against you. You may lose part or all of your trading capital.
• Volatility. Crypto and certain forex/commodity instruments can move 5–50% in a single day, sometimes within minutes. Stop-losses may not protect you in fast markets ("gap" risk).
• Liquidity risk. In stressed conditions, you may be unable to enter or exit a position at any price, or the spread may widen dramatically.
• Slippage. The price you see when a signal fires is rarely the price you fill at. Slippage can be significant in fast or thin markets.
• Past performance. Historical signal win rates, profit factors, equity curves, and back-tests are not reliable indicators of future performance. Conditions change. Past success can reverse.

2. Leverage warning

• Margin can be liquidated faster than you can react. Auto-liquidation by the exchange can happen mid-second.
• Funding fees on perpetual contracts accrue every 8 hours and compound against poorly-timed positions.
• Cross-margin can wipe out your entire account on a single bad trade. Isolated margin is generally safer for individual positions.

3. Cryptocurrency-specific risks

• 24/7 markets. Crypto never closes. Major moves often happen on weekends, holidays, or while you sleep.
• Exchange failure. Centralised exchanges (Binance, KuCoin, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, MEXC, etc.) can be hacked, freeze withdrawals, become insolvent, or restrict your account. We do not control any exchange. Funds held on exchange are at the exchange's risk.
• Smart-contract risk. DeFi positions can be lost to smart-contract bugs, exploits, or governance attacks.
• Rug-pulls. Many altcoins are scams. Do your own research before holding any token.
• Regulatory risk. Crypto regulation is fast-evolving. Tokens, exchanges, or platforms legal today may be illegal or restricted tomorrow in your jurisdiction.
• Stablecoin risk. Stablecoins like USDT and USDC can de-peg. Holding them is not equivalent to holding cash.
• Custody risk. "Not your keys, not your coins" is real. Exchange-held funds are at the exchange's mercy.

4. Signal-specific risks

• Signals from LiveTradingAI are generated by automated algorithms and external trading desks. They are information, not advice.
• Signals can be missed, delayed, mispriced, or duplicated due to data-provider outages, network latency, or system errors. We are not liable for any consequence of such issues.
• Signal performance varies widely by market regime. A strategy that worked in trending markets may fail in chop, and vice versa.
• "Golden Signals" are relayed from a third-party trading desk. We do not generate, control, or guarantee them. The desk's past performance does not guarantee future results.
• Backtests are theoretical: real-world execution involves slippage, fees, funding, and emotional decisions that backtests do not capture.

5. AI output risks

• AI features (TradeGPT, Brain composite, Chart Image AI, Grok-powered insights) generate outputs probabilistically. They can be incorrect, biased, hallucinate facts, or miss important context.
• Do not rely solely on any AI output for any trading decision. Always verify against price action and other tools.
• AI outputs change between requests. The "same" question may give different answers minutes apart.

6. Auto-trading / execution-helper risks

If you use any execution helper that places trades on your KuCoin (or other) account:

• Trades execute under your account using your funds. We never custody money. We are a software service, not a discretionary fund manager.
• Network outages, exchange downtime, or your own API key being throttled/disabled may prevent SL/TP placement. Open positions may be exposed without protection.
• Multiple positions can compound risk faster than you can react.
• Always test with small amounts before scaling.
• You can disable auto-trade at any time. We strongly recommend reviewing every signal manually until you have full conviction in the system.

7. Tax & legal risks

• Trading profits and losses generally have tax consequences in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying tax. We do not provide tax advice or generate tax forms.
• Cryptocurrency holding, trading, or earning may be restricted in your jurisdiction. Compliance with local law is your responsibility.
• Sanctions and AML laws may restrict you from using certain exchanges or trading certain assets.

8. Operational risk

• Internet outages, mobile network issues, device failure, or your own login problems may prevent you from receiving or acting on signals.
• Telegram outages affect signal delivery. We are not responsible for Telegram availability.
• The Service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or upgrades.

9. Risk-management recommendations

While we do not give advice, broadly accepted prudent practices include:

• Risk no more than 1–2% of your account on any single trade
• Use stop-losses on every trade
• Use the lowest leverage that achieves your plan, not the highest your exchange offers
• Never deposit money you cannot afford to lose entirely
• Keep a separate "trading-only" account, isolated from savings, rent, or essential funds
• Track every trade in a journal — what worked, what didn't, and why
• Take breaks. Emotional trading is the leading cause of blow-ups
• Test new strategies with paper trading or tiny size before scaling up
• Never use credit, loans, or borrowed funds to trade
