Trading carries a substantial risk of loss and may not be suitable for every investor. This Risk Disclosure describes the principal risks of using the Meritoship platform and trading through the products it facilitates. You should read it carefully before activating your account.
1. General Risk Warning
Trading foreign exchange (FX), contracts for difference (CFDs), commodities, indices and cryptocurrencies is highly speculative. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Only trade with money you can afford to lose, and never with funds you rely on for essential living expenses.
2. Leverage and Margin
Leveraged products magnify both gains and losses. A relatively small market movement can result in losses that exceed your deposited funds. Margin calls may require you to add funds quickly, and positions may be closed automatically if margin requirements are not met.
3. Cryptocurrency Risks
Cryptocurrency markets are particularly volatile and can experience extreme price movements in short periods. Digital assets also carry additional risks, including regulatory changes, technology failures and reduced liquidity. Prices can move rapidly against you.
4. Automated Strategy Risks
Automated strategies execute trades based on predefined rules and AI-generated signals. AI analysis can be incorrect, historical patterns may not repeat, and no algorithm can predict market movements with certainty. Automation does not eliminate risk — it executes your chosen strategy without human hesitation.
You are responsible for reviewing and configuring every strategy that runs on your account. We recommend starting with conservative settings and monitoring performance regularly.
5. Market and Liquidity Risks
Market conditions can change abruptly due to economic news, geopolitical events or technical failures. During periods of low liquidity, orders may be executed at prices significantly different from those displayed, and some instruments may be difficult or impossible to close.
6. Technology Risks
Trading relies on internet connectivity, software and third-party infrastructure. Interruptions, delays or failures may prevent you from executing or cancelling orders, which could result in losses. We are not liable for losses arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
7. No Financial Advice
Meritoship is a technology services company. Nothing on the Platform — including signals, insights, educational content or automated strategies — constitutes financial, investment, legal or tax advice. Any decision to trade is yours alone, made in light of your own objectives, financial situation and risk tolerance. Consider seeking independent advice from a licensed financial adviser.
8. Past Performance
Any performance figures, testimonials or illustrative examples shown on the Platform refer to the past. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
9. Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for understanding the products you trade, monitoring your account and managing your risk. Never invest based solely on automated signals. If you do not fully understand a product or its risks, do not trade it.
