Risk Disclosure
Last updated: 22 May 2026
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please read this Risk Disclosure Statement carefully before using any AlgoEdge product. Trading in financial markets carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
1. General Risk Warning
Trading foreign exchange (Forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), commodities, indices, and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. The use of leverage amplifies both potential gains and potential losses. You should only trade with capital that you can afford to lose entirely without affecting your financial security or lifestyle.
2. Automated Trading Risks
AlgoEdge Expert Advisors (EAs) are automated trading programs designed to execute trades based on pre-programmed logic. While automation removes emotional decision-making, it does not eliminate risk. Automated systems are subject to the following specific risks:
- Market conditions: Trading algorithms are typically optimised for historical market conditions. Future market behaviour may differ significantly, resulting in poor or unprofitable performance.
- System failures: Technical malfunctions, internet outages, platform crashes, or broker connectivity issues may cause the EA to miss trades, execute incorrectly, or fail to close positions.
- Over-optimisation: EAs developed through extensive backtesting may be over-fitted to historical data and may underperform in live markets.
- Slippage and spreads: Real-world execution may differ from backtested results due to slippage, variable spreads, and requotes — particularly during news events or periods of low liquidity.
3. Past Performance Disclaimer
Any performance data presented by AlgoEdge — including backtests, forward test results, live account statements, or performance metrics shown on our website — is provided for illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of, nor a guarantee of, future results. Trading results vary significantly depending on market conditions, broker, account size, execution quality, and individual configuration.
4. No Financial Advice
AlgoEdge does not provide financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Nothing on our website, within our products, in our marketing materials, or in any communications from AlgoEdge should be construed as a recommendation to trade any specific financial instrument or to use any specific trading strategy. All decisions related to your trading activity are made solely at your own risk and discretion.
5. Leverage Risk
Many Forex and CFD brokers offer significant leverage, which means you can control a large market position with a relatively small deposit. While leverage can magnify profits, it equally magnifies losses. A small adverse movement in the market can result in the loss of your entire trading capital. Ensure you understand how leverage works and consider the risks carefully before trading with high leverage.
6. Liquidity Risk
Financial markets can experience periods of low liquidity — particularly around major news events, market open/close times, and public holidays. During these periods, spreads may widen significantly, orders may be executed at unfavourable prices (slippage), and stop-loss orders may not be filled at the intended price. These conditions can result in losses larger than anticipated.
7. Counterparty & Broker Risk
When trading through a broker, you are exposed to counterparty risk — the risk that the broker may become insolvent or be unable to fulfil their obligations. AlgoEdge is not responsible for the conduct, solvency, or actions of any broker or third-party platform. We recommend using regulated brokers with a strong track record and appropriate investor protection schemes.
8. Regulatory Risk
The regulatory environment for Forex trading, CFDs, and automated trading software varies across jurisdictions and is subject to change. Changes in regulation may affect the legality, availability, or conditions under which you can use our products. It is your responsibility to ensure that your trading activity complies with the laws and regulations applicable in your country or region.
9. Technology Risk
The effective operation of an AlgoEdge EA depends on a stable internet connection, a properly configured trading platform, and uninterrupted server access. We strongly recommend using a reliable VPS (Virtual Private Server) to minimise downtime. AlgoEdge is not liable for losses resulting from technical failures outside of our direct control, including but not limited to internet outages, broker platform downtime, or MT5 errors.
10. Suitability
Algorithmic trading products are not suitable for everyone. Before using any AlgoEdge product, please consider your financial situation, investment objectives, level of experience, and risk tolerance. If you are unsure whether trading is right for you, we recommend seeking independent financial advice from a qualified professional.
11. Acknowledgement
By purchasing and using any AlgoEdge product, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure Statement, that you accept the risks involved in automated Forex and CFD trading, and that AlgoEdge bears no responsibility for any trading losses you may incur.
