Risk Disclaimer

Last updated: June 11, 2025

Important Risk Warning

Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Carefully consider your investment objectives, experience level, and risk tolerance before using our platform.

General Risk Warning

Algorithmic trading and the use of trading bots involve significant financial risks. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may lose some or all of your invested capital.

Markets can be unpredictable and volatile, especially during economic uncertainty, news events, or regulatory changes. No trading system, regardless of sophistication, can guarantee profits.

Specific Risks of Algorithmic Trading

Before using ThatLoneTrader to create and deploy trading strategies, you should be aware of the following risks:

Technical Failures

System Risk

Automated systems may fail due to connectivity issues, power outages, or software bugs, potentially leading to missed trades or unintended positions.

Market Volatility

Market Risk

Sudden market changes can lead to substantial losses, price gaps, and liquidity issues that automated systems may not handle optimally.

System Limitations

Design Risk

No algorithmic system can account for all market variables or anticipate every market scenario, leading to potential unexpected outcomes.

Testing Limitations

Model Risk

Backtesting and paper trading results may not accurately reflect real market conditions, slippage, fees, or liquidity constraints.

Execution Risks

Operational Risk

Delays in order execution, price slippage, and broker-specific limitations may result in different outcomes than expected from your strategy design.
