Risk Disclosure Statement

1.1. Speculative Nature. Cryptocurrency trading is highly speculative and carries a high level of risk. The value of cryptocurrencies can fluctuate significantly in a very short period of time. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

1.2. Investment Consideration. Before deciding to trade cryptocurrencies, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. There is a possibility that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment.

1.3. Affordable Loss. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with cryptocurrency trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.

2.1. Cryptocurrency markets are extremely volatile. Prices can move rapidly and unpredictably, sometimes by 10-20% or more within a single day.

2.2. Market volatility can be caused by various factors including regulatory announcements, technological developments, market sentiment, large trades by institutional investors, security breaches at exchanges, and macroeconomic factors.

2.3. High volatility means that while there is potential for significant profits, there is equally potential for significant losses in a short period of time.

3.1. Trading with leverage (margin trading) allows you to open positions larger than your account balance. While leverage can amplify profits, it equally amplifies losses.

3.2. With leveraged trading, you can lose more than your initial margin deposit. Losses are not limited to your deposited funds.

3.3. Margin calls may require you to deposit additional funds on short notice. Failure to meet margin calls may result in automatic position liquidation at unfavorable prices.

3.4. We strongly recommend that inexperienced traders avoid using high leverage. Even experienced traders should carefully manage their risk exposure.

4.1. Automated trading bots execute trades based on pre-programmed strategies without human intervention. While this can be beneficial, it also carries unique risks.

4.2. Trading bots may malfunction, execute incorrect trades, or fail to execute at critical moments due to technical issues, network problems, or API failures.

4.3. Past performance of a trading strategy, whether backtested or live, is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Market conditions constantly change.

4.4. Users are responsible for monitoring their automated trading activities and ensuring strategies remain appropriate for current market conditions.

5.1. Backtesting uses historical data to simulate how a strategy would have performed in the past. These results are hypothetical and have inherent limitations.

5.2. Backtesting cannot account for market impact, meaning the effect your trades would have on market prices, especially for large orders or illiquid markets.

5.3. Historical data may contain errors, gaps, or biases. Results may also be affected by survivorship bias (successful assets are overrepresented in historical data).

5.4. Backtesting cannot predict future market conditions, regulatory changes, or "black swan" events that could materially affect strategy performance.

5.5. Slippage, latency, and execution costs in live trading may significantly differ from backtested assumptions.

6.1. Trading platforms, including Freya Finance and connected exchanges, may experience technical failures, system outages, or cyberattacks that could prevent you from placing trades or accessing your funds.

6.2. Internet connectivity issues on your end could prevent you from monitoring positions or executing time-sensitive trades.

6.3. API connections to exchanges may fail or be rate-limited during high-volume periods, potentially causing missed trades or delays.

6.4. Software bugs in trading strategies, the platform, or exchange APIs could result in unintended trades or losses.

7.1. Cryptocurrency exchanges are not regulated to the same extent as traditional financial institutions. They may be subject to hacking, fraud, or insolvency.

7.2. Funds held on exchanges are not protected by deposit insurance schemes that protect bank deposits.

7.3. Exchange failures (such as FTX, Mt. Gox) have resulted in complete loss of customer funds. There is no guarantee this cannot happen again.

7.4. We recommend keeping only the funds necessary for active trading on exchanges and storing long-term holdings in secure self-custody wallets.

8.1. Cryptocurrency regulation varies significantly by jurisdiction and is rapidly evolving. What is legal today may become restricted or prohibited in the future.

8.2. Regulatory actions (such as exchange bans, trading restrictions, or tax changes) can significantly impact cryptocurrency prices and your ability to trade or withdraw funds.

8.3. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the laws and regulations applicable in your jurisdiction. Freya Finance does not provide legal or tax advice.

9.1. Some cryptocurrency markets have limited liquidity. This means you may not be able to buy or sell at desired prices, especially during periods of market stress.

9.2. Large orders may experience significant slippage, which is the difference between expected execution price and actual execution price.

9.3. During extreme market conditions, liquidity may disappear entirely, making it impossible to close positions at any price.

10.1. Cryptocurrency assets are attractive targets for hackers. You are responsible for securing your account credentials, API keys, and personal devices.

10.2. Never share API keys with withdrawal permissions. Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication.

10.3. Be aware of phishing attacks, fake websites, and social engineering attempts designed to steal your credentials.

11.1. Strategies available on the Freya Finance Marketplace are created by third-party users, not by Freya Finance. We do not endorse, verify, or guarantee the performance of any strategy listed on the Marketplace.

11.2. Past performance of a strategy, including backtest results and live trading history, is not indicative of future results. Market conditions change, and strategies that were previously profitable may incur losses.

11.3. Strategy creators may abandon, modify, or discontinue their strategies at any time. For subscription-based and profit-share strategies, this may affect your ongoing trading.

11.4. "Hidden" (Black Box) strategies do not reveal their configurations. You are trusting the creator's approach without being able to independently evaluate the trading logic.

11.5. Freya Finance is not liable for losses incurred from using Marketplace strategies. You are solely responsible for evaluating and selecting strategies appropriate for your risk tolerance.

12.1. By using Freya Finance, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted all the risks outlined in this Risk Disclosure Statement.

12.2. You confirm that you are trading with funds that you can afford to lose and that losses will not adversely affect your financial stability or lifestyle.

12.3. You understand that Freya Finance does not provide investment advice and is not responsible for trading losses incurred through the use of the platform.

13.1. This Risk Disclosure Statement should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
