Risk Disclaimer
Last updated: February 25, 2026
1. General Risk Warning
Trading in financial markets — including but not limited to cryptocurrencies, stocks, options, and foreign exchange (forex) — carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, experience level, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment. Therefore, you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
2. No Financial Advice
AutoApe is a software tool that facilitates automated trading. It is not a registered broker-dealer, financial advisor, or investment manager. The information and features provided by AutoApe do not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Any trading decisions you make are your sole responsibility. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified financial advisor before engaging in any trading activity.
3. Cryptocurrency Risks
Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and operate 24/7. Prices can fluctuate dramatically in short periods. Additional risks specific to crypto trading include but are not limited to: smart contract vulnerabilities, rug pulls, liquidity risks on decentralized exchanges, regulatory changes, wallet security, network congestion, and impermanent loss. Tokens may lose 100% of their value.
4. Stock Market Risks
Stock prices are subject to market risk, including loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading on margin amplifies both potential gains and losses. Options trading involves additional risks including the potential for rapid and substantial losses. Corporate actions, earnings announcements, and macroeconomic events can cause sudden price movements.
5. Forex Risks
Forex trading involves leverage, which means small market movements can result in proportionally large gains or losses. Currency markets are affected by geopolitical events, central bank decisions, and economic data releases. Slippage and gaps can occur, especially during periods of high volatility or low liquidity. You may lose more than your initial deposit when trading on margin.
6. AI and Automated Trading Risks
AutoApe's AI optimizer and automated trading features are based on algorithms that analyze historical and real-time data. These algorithms have limitations and may not perform well in all market conditions. Automated trading can execute trades faster than manual intervention can stop them. Technical failures, including software bugs, connectivity issues, and API outages, may result in unintended trades or missed opportunities. Past backtesting results do not guarantee future live trading performance.
7. Paper Trading vs Live Trading
Paper trading simulations do not perfectly replicate live market conditions. Factors such as slippage, partial fills, market impact, and liquidity constraints are not fully captured in simulated environments. Results achieved in paper trading may differ significantly from live trading results. We recommend extensive paper trading before transitioning to live trading.
8. Third-Party Services
AutoApe integrates with third-party brokerages and exchanges. We are not responsible for the performance, reliability, or availability of these services. Issues with third-party platforms — including outages, delayed execution, or incorrect data — may impact your trading results. You are responsible for understanding and agreeing to the terms and conditions of any third-party service you connect to AutoApe.
9. Regulatory Considerations
Financial regulations vary by jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of AutoApe and your trading activities comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. Some features may not be available in all regions due to regulatory restrictions.
10. Limitation of Liability
AUTOAPE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY TRADING LOSSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALL TRADING DECISIONS ARE MADE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FINANCIAL OUTCOMES.
11. Acknowledgment
By using AutoApe, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Risk Disclaimer. You confirm that you understand the risks associated with trading financial instruments and that you are using the Service at your own risk.
