Automated trading can lose money, including everything you put at risk. Past behaviour predicts nothing. This is a tool and not advice, and no part of it is a promise about what you will make.

You can lose money. You can lose all of the money you put at risk. Do not run this with money you need for anything else.

01The software can be wrong

It forms a view from data and acts on it. Views are wrong regularly, and being wrong quickly and repeatedly is a way to lose money faster than a person would. Nothing about a decision being explained makes it correct; it makes it checkable, which is a different thing.

02The past predicts nothing

Any figure you ever see from us about how something behaved before is a description of the past. It is not a forecast, not a projection, and not a basis for expecting the same again. A strategy that worked for a year can stop working the day you turn it on, and the reason is usually that the conditions that made it work have gone.

03Markets and exchanges fail

  • An exchange can go down, reject orders, or be unreachable at exactly the wrong moment.
  • Prices gap. A position can move past a level before anything can act on it.
  • Liquidity disappears in the conditions where you most want to get out.
  • An exchange can change its rules, delist a market, or freeze withdrawals.

None of that is in our control and none of it is a defect in this product. It is the risk of trading.

04Leverage multiplies both directions

Where you enable leveraged markets, losses scale the same way gains do, and a position can be liquidated in full. Leverage does not make a strategy better; it makes whatever it was going to do happen harder and sooner.

05What we protect you from, and what we don't

We never hold your funds, so we cannot lose them, misappropriate them, or fail with them inside. That is a real protection and it is why the product is built this way.

It does not protect you from losing money by trading. Your funds are in your account, and a losing trade reduces them exactly as it would if you had placed it yourself.

06It is a tool, not advice

We are not your adviser, broker or fiduciary, and nothing the software produces is a personal recommendation. It does not know your circumstances, your other holdings, your tax position or what you can afford to lose. Those remain yours to weigh.

If you need advice, take it from somebody licensed to give it where you live. See the terms for the full statement of what this relationship is and is not.

07Pre-ordering has its own risk

The Launchpad sells access to software that does not exist yet. We intend to build it and we publish our progress, but a business building something can fail to finish it. If we were to wind down before launch, everything paid is returned. That is stated in the refund policy as an obligation rather than an intention.

08Your own rules are the real control

The limits you set are checked before any order is placed, and they are the part of this you should spend time on. Position size, exposure caps, what it may touch, and a stop you can hit from your phone. A tool with no limits configured will do exactly what it thinks is right, which is the point and also the danger.
