Important warning

Trading cryptocurrencies and digital assets — as well as the stocks, ETFs, indices, currencies and commodities reachable through the connected brokers — carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk tolerance before using this platform.

▸1. Risk of capital loss

Trading, whatever the asset, involves a substantial risk of financial loss. You may lose the entirety of your invested capital. Never invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

Leverage considerably amplifies this risk, up to liquidation of the position. StrateForge provides no leverage: it is offered exclusively by the execution venue you connect, and its maximum level depends on that venue and on your status with it.

Several jurisdictions restrict or prohibit leverage for retail investors. It is your responsibility to check the regulations applicable in your country of residence before using leverage.

▸2. Past performance ≠ future results

Backtesting, forward testing or any other simulation results displayed on StrateForge are based on historical data and assumptions. They are in no way a guarantee of future performance. Market conditions change constantly, and a strategy that was profitable in the past may generate losses in the future.

▸3. No financial advice

StrateForge is a technical tool for building and testing trading strategies. The platform does not provide any investment, financial, tax or legal advice. The information available on the platform must not be interpreted as recommendations to buy, sell or hold digital assets.

▸4. User responsibility

You are solely responsible for your trading decisions. The use of strategies built on StrateForge, whether in backtesting, forward testing, paper trading or live trading mode, is entirely your own responsibility. We strongly recommend that you:

Consult a professional financial advisor before trading
Never invest more than you can afford to lose
Thoroughly test any strategy in backtesting and paper trading before using it live
Systematically use stop-losses to limit your potential losses
Continuously educate yourself about financial markets and the associated risks

▸5. Risks specific to cryptocurrencies

Extreme volatility: cryptocurrencies can experience very large price swings in a very short time
Liquidity risk: some assets may have insufficient liquidity to execute your orders at the desired price
Regulatory risk: the regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving rapidly and may affect asset values
Technological risk: exchange platforms, blockchains and smart contracts may be subject to security vulnerabilities
Counterparty risk: the third-party exchange platforms to which you connect your API keys may experience failures

▸6. Backtesting limitations

Backtesting has inherent limitations that you must understand:

Actual slippage may differ significantly from estimates
Actual trading fees may vary depending on market conditions
Historical data may contain gaps or anomalies
Survivorship bias may distort performance evaluation
Over-fitting (over-optimization) can lead to strategies that are not viable in real conditions

▸7. Automated trading

Automated trading via bots carries additional risks: technical malfunctions, disconnections, API errors, and unanticipated order execution. Actively monitor your trading bots and never use automated trading without supervision.
