TRADING INVOLVES A HIGH LEVEL OF RISK, INCLUDING THE RISK OF TOTAL LOSS. HEDGICORE IS ANALYTICS SOFTWARE, NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, AND DOES NOT EXECUTE TRADES. YOU SHOULD NOT TRADE WITH FUNDS YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE.
1. Not financial advice
Hedgicore provides analytics software. Hedgicore is not a financial adviser, broker, dealer or fiduciary, and nothing made available through the Services constitutes investment, tax, legal or trading advice or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any asset. All statistical measures, spread analytics, backtests and alerts are provided for informational purposes only. You are solely responsible for your own decisions.
2. Software and analytics only
Hedgicore does not execute trades, take custody of your funds or connect to any exchange to place orders. Any trade you make is made by you, through a third-party exchange, at your own risk.
3. Backtests and hypothetical performance
Backtest results are hypothetical. They are simulations run on historical data, not records of actual trades, and no representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Hypothetical performance results have inherent limitations. They are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not involve financial risk, and because the trades were not actually executed they cannot fully account for slippage, fees, funding costs, limited liquidity, latency or the effect of your own orders on the market. A strategy that performs well on historical data can lose money in live markets.
4. No guarantee of results
Hedgicore does not guarantee any particular outcome, profit or level of performance. Markets are uncertain, and any strategy can lose money. Nothing provided through the Services should be understood as a promise or guarantee that you will profit or that your losses will be limited.
5. Statistical arbitrage risk
Statistical arbitrage relies on a relationship between two assets holding over time. That relationship can break. Related assets can stop moving together and diverge for extended periods, and a position that appears hedged can move against you on both legs. You can lose your entire position.
6. Leverage and perpetual-futures risk
Crypto perpetual futures are commonly traded with leverage. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses and can lead to liquidation, in which you lose your margin quickly and in full. Funding rates, margin requirements and liquidation rules are set by your exchange and may change without notice.
7. Crypto market risk
Crypto markets trade 24 hours a day and can be extremely volatile. Prices can gap, exchanges can halt trading or delist assets, and market conditions can change faster than you are able to react.
8. Technology and third-party risk
Alerts and data may be delayed, interrupted or unavailable due to internet, infrastructure or exchange issues. Your exchange or its API may fail while you have an open position. Hedgicore is not responsible for losses caused by third-party exchanges, outages, latency or delays.
9. Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for selecting your strategies, sizing your positions, managing your risk and deciding when to enter and exit any position. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the risks described above. You should not use the Services to make trading decisions unless you fully understand and accept these risks.
