This Risk Disclosure is intended to inform you of the material risks associated with trading and with the use of automated, AI-governed trading infrastructure such as STRATOS. Please read it carefully. Trading is not suitable for everyone, and you should only commit capital you can afford to lose.
Trading Involves Substantial Risk of Loss
Trading financial instruments carries a high level of risk and may result in the loss of some or all of your capital. Market prices can move rapidly and unpredictably. You should not deploy funds you cannot afford to lose, and you should consider your financial situation and risk tolerance before participating.
Past Performance Is Not Indicative Of Future Results
Any past performance, whether actual or hypothetical, is not a guarantee of, and may bear no relation to, future results. Metrics published by STRATOS describe historical system behavior only and should not be relied upon as a prediction of future performance.
Drawdowns Are Expected
Even well-governed systems experience drawdowns — periods during which account value declines from a prior peak. Drawdowns are a normal feature of trading, not a malfunction. STRATOS enforces drawdown limits as a risk-management measure, but limits constrain risk; they do not eliminate the possibility of loss.
Capital Can Be Lost
No risk control, governance layer, or kill condition can guarantee against loss. Adverse market conditions, gaps, liquidity events, and other factors outside the system's control can result in losses that exceed expectations.
AI And Automated Systems Have Failure Modes
- Models may produce incorrect or unexpected proposals under unusual conditions.
- Data feeds, connectivity, or execution venues may degrade or fail.
- Software defects, configuration errors, or latency can affect outcomes.
- Recovery procedures reduce but do not remove the impact of faults.
STRATOS is designed to fail safe — to block rather than act when conditions are uncertain — but no automated system is immune to failure, and you bear the risk of such failures.
No Guarantees
STRATOS makes no representation or guarantee regarding profitability, returns, or the achievement of any particular result. Statements about governance, risk enforcement, and capital preservation describe design intent and system behavior, not assured outcomes.
Suitability
Use of STRATOS is suitable only for individuals and entities with risk-tolerant capital and an understanding of the risks described here. If you are uncertain whether trading is appropriate for you, consult an independent, qualified financial professional before proceeding.
Regulatory Status
STRATOS is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or exchange. The Services are not regulated by the SEC, CFTC, NFA, FinCEN, or any other regulatory body. Nothing in the Services constitutes a solicitation, recommendation, or offer to buy or sell any financial instrument.
