Risk Disclosure
Last updated:
Draft for review. Every value in double braces must be completed and the wording checked by a qualified adviser in your jurisdiction before launch.
NeuroTraderLab provides investment software, not investment advice. This page sets out the risks that come with using it. Read it before subscribing to any strategy.
1. Capital Is at Risk
Trading involves risk, including the loss of capital. You can lose part or all of the money you commit. Only invest what you can afford to lose without affecting your financial position.
No strategy removes risk. A systematic process manages exposure by rule; it does not prevent losses.
2. Backtested and Hypothetical Performance
All performance figures published here are backtested unless stated otherwise. Hypothetical results carry inherent limitations:
- they are calculated with hindsight, on data the model was developed against
- they do not represent actual trading and no client capital was at risk
- they may not account for every cost, spread, slippage or market condition
- they assume orders filled as modelled, which live markets do not guarantee
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Live results will differ from backtested results.
3. No Investment Advice
Nothing published by NeuroTraderLab is investment, legal, tax or accounting advice. We do not assess your objectives, circumstances or risk tolerance, and we give no personal recommendations. Every decision, and its outcome, remains yours.
4. Tokenized Asset Risk
The strategies trade tokenized assets. These carry risks beyond the underlying market:
- issuer risk, where the token depends on the solvency and conduct of its issuer
- redemption and backing risk, where the link to the underlying asset may be constrained
- liquidity risk, where spreads widen or trading pauses
- regulatory risk, where rules change or products are withdrawn
- availability risk, where access is restricted in your country
Tokenized US equities may require an appropriateness assessment before you can trade them.
5. Concentration Risk
Single-asset strategies hold one instrument. The S&P Top 10 Strategy holds a small basket of large companies. Concentrated exposure produces larger swings than a broad market position, and single-name events can move the portfolio sharply.
6. Execution and Third-Party Risk
Strategies send signals that execute in your own Kraken and Cryptohopper accounts. Delivery and execution depend on those providers. Outages, API failures, rate limits, delayed fills, insufficient balance or changed permissions can all cause a signal to execute late, partially, or not at all.
We have no withdrawal rights over your account and no control over third-party systems.
7. Technology and Model Risk
Models are built on historical data and can be wrong. Market regimes change, relationships break down, and a model that performed well historically may perform poorly in future conditions. Software faults, data errors and connectivity failures are possible despite testing.
8. Costs
The strategy subscription is only part of the total cost. Cryptohopper platform fees and Kraken trading fees are charged separately, and trading costs reduce returns. Strategies that trade more frequently incur more cost.
9. Tax
Tax treatment depends on your circumstances and jurisdiction, and can change. Trading activity may create reporting obligations. Take advice from a qualified professional.
10. Jurisdiction and Suitability
Availability of the strategies and their underlying assets varies by country. Confirming that you may lawfully use the service, and that a strategy is suitable for you, is your responsibility.
