Legal
Risk Disclosure Statement
Effective Date: 01.04.2026
This Risk Disclosure Statement forms part of the CopycatTrader legal documentation and must be read together with the Terms of Service.
1. No Advice
CopycatTrader does not provide investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, or personal recommendations.
2. High Risk of Loss
Trading cryptoassets, forex, CFDs, derivatives, and leveraged products is highly speculative and may result in rapid and substantial losses, including total loss of capital.
3. Past Performance
Past performance, rankings, historical returns, drawdowns, and win rates are not reliable indicators of future performance.
4. Guru Risk
A Guru's strategy may change, become more aggressive, become loss-making, or stop performing without warning.
5. Copying Risk
Copied trades may not match the Guru's source trades due to latency, slippage, market conditions, symbol differences, lot-size rounding, broker rules, or technical issues.
6. Broker Risk
Your broker may reject orders, change leverage, widen spreads, change margin rules, liquidate positions, or suffer outages. CopycatTrader is not responsible for broker acts or omissions.
7. Technology Risk
The Platform depends on APIs, internet connectivity, cloud services, browsers, devices, and third-party systems. Failures may lead to delayed, missed, duplicated, or unintended trades.
8. Risk Controls Are Not Guarantees
Allocation caps, stop losses, leverage settings, and other controls may not operate as intended in real market conditions.
9. No Custody by CopycatTrader
CopycatTrader does not hold your trading funds. Your funds remain at your broker. This does not eliminate trading, broker, or execution risk.
10. Beta Risk
The Platform is in beta / pre-launch status. Features may change or malfunction without notice.
11. Jurisdiction and Access Risk
The Platform is available only in selected jurisdictions. If you access the Platform from a restricted jurisdiction or provide inaccurate access information, your account may be blocked, suspended, or terminated, and subscription access may be denied.
12. Fee Risk
Subscription fees reduce net returns. Performance fees may be charged through broker-side or PAMM-side arrangements outside CopycatTrader's direct billing system.
13. User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for:
- assessing whether use of the Platform is lawful for you;
- deciding whether to use any Guru or strategy;
- selecting your broker and settings; and
- understanding the risks before using copy-trading.
