Risk Disclosure Statement

General Risk Warning

Before engaging with SignalX services, you must understand and accept the following risks associated with futures trading:

1. High Risk of Loss

Futures trading is highly speculative and involves substantial risk of financial loss.

• You may lose your entire investment
• Losses can exceed your initial capital in certain circumstances
• Market volatility can result in rapid and substantial losses
• There is no guarantee of profit or protection against loss

2. Leverage Risk

Futures contracts are leveraged instruments, which amplifies both potential gains and losses:

• Small market movements can result in large percentage changes in account value
• Leverage magnifies losses as well as gains
• You can lose more than your initial margin deposit
• Margin calls may require additional capital deposits

3. Market-Specific Risks

Volatility Risk

Market prices can change rapidly and unpredictably due to:

• Economic news and data releases
• Geopolitical events
• Central bank policies
• Market sentiment shifts
• Low liquidity periods

Gap Risk

Markets can gap (jump in price) over weekends or during major news events, potentially resulting in losses larger than anticipated by stop-loss orders.

Slippage

Your trades may be executed at prices different from expected due to market conditions, especially during high volatility.
