Financial & Regulatory Disclosures

RobotFX Risk Disclaimer

Important information regarding foreign exchange risk, leverage exposure, simulated backtests, and technical software execution.

HIGH-RISK INVESTMENT WARNING: Trading foreign exchange (Forex), Contracts for Difference (CFDs), and leveraged financial instruments carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. You may lose all or more than your initial capital investment.

1. High Degree of Leverage & Market Volatility

Trading foreign exchange on margin involves a high level of risk. Leverage allows traders to control large position sizes with a small margin deposit. While leverage can increase potential profits, it equally magnifies potential financial losses.

Market volatility, rapid economic shifts, liquidity changes, news events, and overnight price gaps can cause substantial price movements in currency pairs and assets. A small adverse market movement can lead to margin calls, position liquidation, or severe loss of equity. Never trade with capital or funds you cannot afford to lose completely.

2. CFTC Rule 4.41 – Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

CFTC RULE 4.41: HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE INHERENT LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN.

3. Automated Trading Software & Execution Risks

Automated trading systems, Expert Advisors (EAs), and custom indicators rely heavily on technical infrastructure, third-party broker platforms, and external network conditions.

  • Infrastructure Dependencies: Algorithmic execution relies on uninterrupted power, high-speed internet connectivity, local machine stability, and Virtual Private Server (VPS) reliability.
  • Broker Execution Variations: Broker slippage, spread expansion, order routing delays, requotes, server downtime, or hedging restrictions can significantly alter trading results compared to strategy backtests or demo environments.
  • Parameter Configuration: Input parameters such as lot size, stop-loss distances, trailing stops, and risk multipliers must be actively configured and managed by the trader. Incorrect settings can lead to unexpected trade execution and rapid equity drawdown.
