Risk Disclosure Statement

Understanding the Risks of Using Our Trading Platform While we strive to provide a robust and secure trading environment, it is crucial for all users to understand the inherent risks associated with electronic trading platforms and financial technology. This disclosure outlines some of these potential risks, though it is not an exhaustive list:

Technology Risk Disclosure

Cybersecurity Risks
- Unauthorized Access: There is a risk of potential privacy violations, hacking attempts, and data breaches by cybercriminals, which could compromise your personal and financial information.
- Malware and Ransomware: Your access to trading or data could be disrupted, stolen, or blocked by malicious software like malware or ransomware.
Operational and System Risks
- System Failures: Our platform, like any complex technology, can experience bugs, outages, delays, or other disruptions. These issues may affect trading execution, potentially leading to missed opportunities or unintended outcomes.
- Data Integrity: Flaws or inaccuracies in data feeds can occur, which might lead to unfavorable trading decisions or outcomes based on incorrect information.
- Connectivity Issues: Problems with internet connection or network infrastructure (either on your end or ours) can delay or prevent timely trading, impacting your ability to execute orders as intended.
- Monitoring Challenges: Despite our best efforts, challenges can arise in system monitoring, including issues with data input, procedural violations, or inaccurate setting of parameters, which could impact the system's performance or compliance.
Regulatory and Market Risks
- Regulatory Changes: The financial regulatory landscape is dynamic. Unpredictability of future regulations can result in new requirements, fines, penalties, or legal repercussions for the firm, which may indirectly impact services or costs.
- Technology Limitations: Even with advanced technology, system defenses are not infallible. We continuously work to enhance our security and performance, but no system can guarantee absolute protection against all threats or perfect operation at all times.
Technology Investment and Service Impact
- Maintaining effective, cutting-edge technology, especially with the rapid development of areas like Artificial Intelligence, involves significant costs. While we invest heavily in our platform, these costs can influence service offerings and pricing.

Your Responsibility

It is essential that you understand these risks before engaging in trading activities on any electronic platform. By using our services, you acknowledge these inherent risks. We encourage you to implement your own robust security practices and to continuously educate yourself on market and technology risks.
