Risk

Automated trading is still trading.

Important risk warning

Quantitative trading carries significant financial risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You can lose some — or all — of your capital. Use risk controls, size prudently, and never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.

Market risk

Crypto and futures markets are highly volatile. Prices can move sharply against your positions and may result in the loss of some or all capital.

Technical risk

Network interruptions, exchange outages, or unexpected system behavior can delay or prevent execution at the prices you intended.

Liquidity risk

During thin or stressed markets, orders may fill at worse prices than the quote you saw, or fail to fill at all.

Regulatory risk

Changes to laws, licensing, or exchange rules can affect availability of features, tokens, or venues at short notice.
