Risk Disclosure
CMS-managed policy · Last updated Nov 13, 2026
Your capital is at risk. Trading forex, CFDs and other leveraged products, including through copy trading, can result in the loss of some or all of your trading capital. Depending on the product, broker terms and applicable protections, losses may exceed your initial deposit. Only commit money you can afford to lose.
This disclosure explains key risks when using HUNTX to explore providers, connect trading accounts and copy strategies. It does not cover every possible risk. Read it alongside the terms of your broker, the relevant product disclosures and the information provided for each strategy.
1. Market volatility and leverage
Prices can change sharply following economic announcements, political events or unexpected market conditions. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses: a small market move can have a large effect on your account. Your broker may require additional margin or close positions automatically when account equity falls below its requirements.
2. Copy trading involves real trading risk
Copying a provider can place trades in your account automatically under your selected settings. A provider can experience extended losses or change trading behaviour, position size or market exposure. Following several providers may still concentrate your exposure if they trade the same instruments or use similar strategies. Review your combined exposure as well as each individual strategy.
3. Your results can differ from the provider
Copied orders may execute at different prices, at a different size, or fail to execute. Latency, slippage, spreads, liquidity, broker rules, symbol mappings, minimum lot sizes, leverage and available margin can all affect execution. Your starting balance, connection time, deposits, withdrawals and copy settings can also produce results that differ materially from a provider profile.
4. Past performance and displayed metrics
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Returns, rankings, risk scores and historical drawdown describe the available data and may not capture every exposure or a future extreme event. A short track record can be unrepresentative. Demo, simulated and backtested results have limitations because they may not reflect live liquidity, execution, costs or trading decisions under pressure.
5. Limits and stop orders have limitations
Stop-loss orders, allocation limits and drawdown controls can help manage exposure, but they cannot eliminate losses or guarantee an execution price. Gaps, fast markets, outages or insufficient liquidity can prevent execution at the intended level. Check your broker account after changing copy settings or stopping a relationship. Do not assume that pausing copying, disconnecting an account or ending a subscription automatically closes existing positions.
6. Technology and connection failures
Internet interruptions, terminal or VPS downtime, expired credentials, software faults, maintenance and third-party outages can delay, duplicate or prevent trading instructions. Monitoring and recovery cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. Keep account access secure, monitor connection status and know how to review and manage open positions directly with your broker.
7. Broker and counterparty risk
Execution, custody of trading funds, margin rules and withdrawals depend on your broker and its terms. Regulatory status and investor protections vary by entity, product and country. Independently verify the exact broker entity and the protections that apply to your account, including whether negative balance protection is available. A listing or integration on HUNTX is not a guarantee of a third party.
8. Costs, incentives and currency exposure
Spreads, commissions, overnight financing, currency conversion and subscription or provider fees can reduce returns and may turn a gross profit into a net loss. Review all applicable charges before starting. Providers or partners may receive compensation that creates incentives different from your own. Exchange-rate movements can also change results when your account currency differs from the currency used to display performance.
9. Make an informed decision
Choose products and settings that you understand and assess them against your financial circumstances, experience and ability to bear losses. Provider profiles, educational material and platform metrics do not establish that a strategy is suitable for you. Seek independent professional advice if you are unsure.
- Read the strategy description, trading history, exposure and fee information.
- Review your allocation, leverage and combined exposure before enabling copying.
- Monitor open positions, available margin, connection status and changes in provider behaviour.
- Check how stopping copying affects existing positions and pending orders.
