Risk Disclosure
Important information about the risks associated with automated trading and using the Tradient platform.
Last Updated: March 1, 2026
Important Warning
Trading financial instruments involves significant risk and can result in the loss of your invested capital. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. Automated trading strategies, including those built with Tradient, carry additional risks due to their systematic nature. Please read this entire risk disclosure carefully before using our platform.
Market Risk
Financial markets are inherently volatile. Prices can move rapidly against your position, resulting in substantial losses that may exceed your initial investment.
Automated Trading Risk
Automated strategies may execute trades that result in losses. System failures, connectivity issues, or market conditions can cause unexpected behavior.
Historical Performance
Past performance and backtesting results are not indicative of future results. Market conditions change and strategies that worked historically may not work in the future.
Technology Risk
Technical failures, internet connectivity issues, or platform downtime may prevent strategy execution or cause delays in order processing.
General Risk Warning
Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may receive back less than your original investment. Trading on margin or using leverage amplifies both potential gains and potential losses.
You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition, investment experience, and risk tolerance. Do not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. Seek independent financial advice if you are unsure.
Automated Trading Risks
- •Automated strategies execute trades based on predefined rules and may not adapt to sudden market changes or unprecedented events
- •System failures, software bugs, or connectivity issues may cause strategies to execute incorrectly or fail to execute at all
- •Market conditions such as low liquidity, high volatility, or market gaps can cause slippage and execution at prices significantly different from expected
- •Over-optimization of strategies based on historical data (curve fitting) can lead to poor performance in live markets
- •Strategies may generate excessive trading activity, resulting in significant transaction costs that erode returns
- •Multiple simultaneous strategies may create conflicting positions or unintended portfolio exposure
Backtesting Limitations
- •Backtesting results are hypothetical and do not represent actual trading
- •Past performance does not guarantee future results
- •Backtesting may not account for market impact, slippage, or liquidity constraints
- •Historical data may contain errors, gaps, or survivorship bias
- •Market regime changes can invalidate assumptions underlying backtested strategies
