Risk Disclosure

Last updated: February 2026

Trading Cryptocurrency Involves Substantial Risk

You could lose some or all of your invested capital. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

This Risk Disclosure statement is provided by Fomoed to ensure you understand the risks associated with cryptocurrency trading and automated trading systems. Please read this document carefully before using our Service.

1. General Trading Risks

Volatility Risk

Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. Prices can fluctuate dramatically within minutes, hours, or days. This volatility can result in significant gains or losses in a very short period.

Daily price swings possible
24/7

100%
Possible loss of capital

Liquidity Risk

Some trading pairs may have low liquidity, resulting in:

  • Difficulty executing trades at desired prices
  • Slippage between expected and actual execution prices
  • Inability to exit positions during market stress

Market Risk

Cryptocurrency markets can be affected by:

  • Regulatory changes and government actions
  • Exchange hacks, failures, or insolvency
  • Market manipulation and "whale" activity
  • Global economic events
  • Social media and news sentiment

2. Automated Trading Risks

Warning: Automated trading bots can amplify both gains AND losses. A bot that performs well in certain market conditions may perform poorly in others.

Strategy Risk

  • No strategy works in all conditions: Trend-following strategies fail in ranging markets; grid bots fail in strong trends
  • Past performance is not indicative of future results: Backtesting cannot predict future market behavior
  • Parameter sensitivity: Small changes in configuration can dramatically affect results

Technical Risks

  • System failures: Software bugs, server outages, or connectivity issues may prevent trade execution
  • API limitations: Exchange rate limits or API changes may affect bot operation
  • Latency: Delays in execution may result in unfavorable fills
  • Cascading errors: A single error can trigger multiple unintended trades

Leverage Risks

Leverage amplifies risk. Trading with leverage can result in losses exceeding your initial investment. Liquidation can occur rapidly during volatile market conditions.

3. Specific Strategy Risks

DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) Bots

  • May continue buying into a prolonged downtrend
  • Can deplete available capital if price keeps falling
  • Recovery may take longer than expected

Grid Trading Bots

  • Losses occur when price breaks out of the grid range
  • Capital can become "stuck" in losing positions
  • Requires careful range selection

AI Agent Bots

  • AI models may make unexpected decisions
  • Performance varies with market conditions
  • Not guaranteed to be profitable

Copy Trading

  • Past performance of traders does not guarantee future results
  • Execution delays may result in different entry/exit prices
  • You inherit the risk profile of the trader you copy

4. Exchange and Counterparty Risks

Your funds remain on third-party exchanges. Risks include:

  • Exchange insolvency: Exchanges can fail or become insolvent
  • Security breaches: Exchanges may be hacked
  • Withdrawal restrictions: Exchanges may freeze withdrawals
  • Regulatory actions: Exchanges may be shut down by regulators

We do not hold your funds. Fomoed only executes trades via API. Your cryptocurrency remains on your exchange accounts. We cannot protect you from exchange failures.

5. Regulatory Risks

Cryptocurrency regulation varies by jurisdiction and is constantly evolving:

  • Trading may become restricted or prohibited in your region
  • Tax obligations may apply to your trading activities
  • Regulatory changes may affect access to certain exchanges or features
