Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 1 January 2026

1. Purpose of this disclosure

This Risk Disclosure summarises material risks associated with using the Buchwertanz Platform and with trading the instruments it covers, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and foreign exchange (forex) currency pairs. It should be read together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It does not describe every possible risk, and it is not a recommendation to trade.

2. Market volatility

Cryptoasset prices can move sharply within minutes and may fall to zero. Forex prices are also influenced by interest rates, economic data, geopolitical events and central bank decisions, and can gap significantly outside trading hours. A position that appears profitable can become a loss quickly.

3. Leverage and margin

Leveraged products amplify both gains and losses. A relatively small adverse price movement can lead to losses greater than the margin you deposited, and positions may be closed automatically if margin requirements are not met. You should fully understand leverage mechanics before using any leveraged product offered by a third party.

4. Liquidity and execution

Markets may become illiquid, and you may be unable to exit a position at your preferred price or at all. Slippage, requotes, network congestion and exchange outages can prevent orders from executing as expected. Stop-loss orders reduce but do not eliminate the risk of loss and may not execute at the level specified.

5. Limitations of automated tools

The Platform uses automated analysis, monitoring and risk management features. These tools rely on historical data, models and assumptions that may be incomplete, inaccurate or no longer applicable. Automated analysis can fail, produce false signals, or be affected by data delays, software defects and connectivity problems. Risk management controls reduce exposure but cannot prevent losses in all market conditions. No tool can predict future prices with certainty.

6. Hypothetical figures and projections

Calculators, charts and example figures shown on the Platform are hypothetical illustrations. They are not forecasts, promises or indications of likely results. They typically exclude fees, spreads, taxes, slippage, funding costs and other charges, and they assume conditions that may not occur. Actual results may be materially worse than any illustration, including a total loss of capital.

7. Past performance

Any reference to historical performance, backtests, testimonials or user reviews is provided for information only. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, and the experiences of other users may not be representative of yours.

8. Custody, counterparty and technology risks

Digital assets may be lost through private key compromise, phishing, exchange insolvency, smart contract failure, blockchain forks or protocol changes. Exchanges and brokers may suspend withdrawals, fail to meet obligations, or be subject to hacks. Regulatory treatment of cryptoassets and forex services varies and may change. Cryptoassets are generally not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

9. Regulatory and legal considerations

Activity relating to cryptoassets and certain financial products is subject to rules that may change and may vary by jurisdiction. Some products may not be available to you, or may carry restrictions. You are responsible for understanding and complying with the laws that apply to you, including tax obligations on gains and losses.

10. Cybersecurity and personal responsibility

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials, two-factor authentication devices and any wallet keys secure. Be cautious of unsolicited messages, fake support accounts, investment groups promising returns, and requests to move funds to new destinations. We will never ask you for your full password or private keys.

11. Psychological and personal risks

Trading can be stressful and may lead to impulsive decisions. Losses can affect your financial stability and wellbeing. If you find that trading is affecting your health or finances, consider stepping back and seeking support from qualified professionals.

12. Seek independent advice

Before trading, consider your investment objectives, experience, financial situation and risk tolerance. Where appropriate, obtain independent advice from a qualified financial adviser, accountant or tax professional. Nothing on the Platform is a personal recommendation to buy, sell or hold any asset.

13. Acknowledgement

By using the Platform, you confirm that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure, that you are capable of bearing the potential loss of your entire capital, and that you accept sole responsibility for your trading and investment decisions.
