Risk Disclosure

Copying does not remove risk

It transfers the decision, not the exposure. If the provider loses, you lose in exactly the same proportion. The most common mistake new copiers make is treating a verified track record as a safety guarantee — it is a record of the past and nothing more. Every provider on the leaderboard will have losing periods, including the ones with the smoothest curves.

Past performance predicts little

A strategy that worked for two years can stop working permanently when market conditions change, and it will usually take months of losses before that is distinguishable from an ordinary drawdown. Strategy decay is normal, not exceptional, and any provider selection you make should assume it will eventually happen.

Drawdown is the number that matters

Most copiers who lose money do so by joining after a good run and unfollowing at the bottom of a drawdown, converting a temporary paper loss into a permanent one. If a provider's worst historical drawdown is larger than what you could tolerate without acting, do not follow them regardless of the return.

Leverage risk

Leveraged copied positions can be liquidated. At high leverage a small adverse move eliminates the margin backing the position entirely. Set a leverage ceiling in your risk controls before you follow anyone who uses leverage at all.

Slippage and execution risk

Your fill will not always match the provider's. In fast or thin markets the difference can be material, and it works against you more often than for you. Strategies trading illiquid assets or holding for very short periods are affected most.

Investment plan risk

Target rates are not guaranteed returns. Plan yield depends on borrowing demand and desk strategy performance, both of which vary. In a severe market event, redemption can be delayed. A plan is not a bank deposit and is not insured.

Platform, technology and regulatory risk

Network congestion, maintenance and outages can delay deposits, withdrawals and copy execution. Rules governing digital assets differ by jurisdiction and change; a product available to you today may be restricted later.

The only rule that always applies

Commit only capital you can afford to lose completely, and do not borrow to fund a trading account. If losing the amount would change how you live, it is too much.
