Risk Disclosure
Important: Crypto-assets, forex and leveraged or automated trading can result in the loss of some or all of your capital. Only invest money you can afford to lose.
This Risk Disclosure forms part of our Terms of Service and is intended to help you understand the material risks associated with using the Rhone Auditalix Platform. It does not describe every risk, and you should read it alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If you are unsure about any aspect of this disclosure, seek independent professional advice before proceeding.
1. Market Volatility
Digital-asset prices, including those of Bitcoin and Ethereum, can change very rapidly and by large amounts within short periods. Prices can fall to zero. Forex rates are also influenced by economic data, central bank decisions, geopolitical events and changes in market sentiment. Past price movements are not an indicator of future performance.
2. Automated and AI-Driven Tools
The Platform uses automated analysis and algorithmic execution. Automation does not eliminate risk. Models may misinterpret data, rely on incomplete or delayed information, or behave unexpectedly during unusual market conditions. Software faults, connectivity problems and third-party outages can cause orders to be delayed, missed or executed at unfavourable prices. No automated system can guarantee profits.
3. Leverage and Margin
Products involving leverage or margin magnify both gains and losses. A small adverse movement can result in losses greater than the amount you initially deposited, and you may be required to add funds at short notice. Where positions are closed automatically to limit exposure, this may occur at a loss.
4. Liquidity and Execution
Some markets or assets may become illiquid, making it difficult to buy or sell at your expected price. Slippage, wider spreads and gaps between prices may occur, particularly during high-volatility events, outside normal trading hours, or for lower-volume assets.
5. Custody and Counterparty Risk
Digital assets and funds held with third parties are exposed to the risk that a counterparty, exchange, custodian or payment provider fails, is hacked, becomes insolvent or restricts withdrawals. Digital assets are not generally protected by deposit compensation schemes, and recovery of losses may be limited or impossible.
6. Security and Cyber Risk
Online platforms, wallets and login credentials may be targeted by fraud, phishing, malware and hacking. Losses can result from compromised devices or accounts, including those caused by your own failure to protect credentials. We take reasonable precautions, but no system is immune to attack.
7. Regulatory and Legal Risk
The legal and regulatory treatment of crypto-assets and related services is evolving in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Rules may change, restrict access to certain products, or affect tax treatment. Financial promotion rules and consumer protection requirements may also apply to how services are presented and offered.
8. Illustrations and Projections
Calculators, examples and figures shown on the Platform are hypothetical and simplified. They do not take into account all costs, fees, taxes, slippage or market conditions, and they are not forecasts or promises of return. Actual results may differ materially, and you may lose money even where a scenario appears favourable.
9. Not Financial Advice
Information provided on the Platform, in our marketing materials and through any support channel is general in nature. It does not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs, and it is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any asset. You remain solely responsible for your trading decisions and their outcomes.
10. Responsible Use
We encourage you to diversify, to set clear limits on the amount you commit, to understand each product before using it, and to review your settings regularly. Do not borrow money to trade, and do not trade funds needed for essential living costs. If you feel that trading is affecting your wellbeing, consider seeking support from a qualified professional.
