CRITICAL RISK WARNING
TRADING IN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIES A HIGH LEVEL OF RISK AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. YOU CAN LOSE MORE THAN YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT.
Before trading, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. TradeFlow is an educational platform and does not provide financial advice.

3. General Trading Risks
3.1 Risk of Loss
Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss. You may lose your entire investment or more than your initial deposit, especially when trading with leverage. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
3.2 Market Volatility
Financial markets can be extremely volatile. Prices can move rapidly in unfavorable directions, resulting in significant losses in short periods. Market conditions can change without warning.
3.3 Leverage Risk
Trading with leverage (margin) amplifies both potential profits and losses. A small market movement can lead to proportionally larger movements in your account balance. You may lose more than your initial investment.
Example: With 100:1 leverage, a 1% adverse price movement could result in a 100% loss of your invested capital.
3.4 Liquidity Risk
Some markets or instruments may have low liquidity, making it difficult to enter or exit positions at desired prices. This can result in slippage and larger losses than anticipated.
3.5 Gap Risk
Markets can "gap" - open at significantly different prices from the previous close. This can occur over weekends, during news releases, or due to unexpected events. Stop-loss orders may not protect you from gap movements.
4. Specific Market Risks
4.1 Forex (Foreign Exchange) Trading
- Exchange rates fluctuate continuously and can be highly volatile
- Political and economic events can cause rapid price movements
- Interest rate differentials affect currency values

- Regulatory uncertainty and potential government actions
- Security risks including hacking and exchange failures

- Dividend cuts or eliminations can affect prices
4.4 Commodities Trading

5. AI Trading Signals and Technology Risks
5.1 No Guarantee of Accuracy
Our AI-generated trading signals are based on historical data analysis and algorithms. They do not guarantee future results. Markets are unpredictable, and AI models can be wrong.
5.2 Algorithm Limitations
AI algorithms have limitations:
- Cannot predict unprecedented events (black swan events)
- May not adapt quickly to changing market conditions
- Can be affected by data quality and availability issues

Technology can fail due to:

5.4 Delayed or Missed Signals
Trading signals may be delayed due to technical issues, and timing is critical in trading. By the time you receive and act on a signal, market conditions may have changed significantly.
6. Performance Disclaimers
6.1 Past Performance
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Historical win rates, profit percentages, and returns shown on our website or in marketing materials do not guarantee similar future performance.

Some performance results may be based on hypothetical or simulated trading. These results have inherent limitations:
- No actual money is at risk in simulations
- Simulations cannot account for all real-world trading conditions
- Results may be over-optimized for historical data
- Transaction costs and slippage may not be fully represented
- Emotional factors affecting real trading are not present
6.3 No Guarantee of Profit
We make no guarantees or warranties regarding profitability. Many traders lose money, and you should not expect to profit from using our signals or services.
7. Additional Risks
7.1 Broker Risk
When you trade through a broker (including partners like Exness), you face:
- Risk of broker insolvency or bankruptcy

- Emotional decision-making instead of rational analysis
7.4 Time Zone and Execution Risk
