Risk Disclosure

1.In one paragraph

Trading futures and other leveraged products can lose you more money than you deposited, and most people who try it lose. Tradeus is software that carries out instructions you configure; it is not advice, not a broker, and not a safety device. Automation executes your mistakes as faithfully as your intentions, and the copier repeats one mistake across every account you connected. Risk limits reduce certain kinds of damage and guarantee nothing. Any simulated or backtested figure you see is hypothetical, and no past result — yours or anyone else's — predicts a future one. Trade only money you can afford to lose entirely, and keep direct access to your broker at all times.

2.Leverage and margin

Futures and other leveraged instruments carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for everyone. Leverage works in both directions: a small move against you can wipe out a large part of your capital, and in some circumstances the loss can exceed the money you deposited — your broker may then demand the difference. Only trade with money you can afford to lose entirely, and never with money you need.

Nothing in Tradeus is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. We are not a broker, not a financial institution and not an asset manager, and we never hold your money. Every order that leaves this software left because of a rule, a signal or a click that you configured. If you are unsure whether trading is appropriate for you, seek advice from someone licensed to give it.

Margin is not a deposit you get back on request. It is a performance bond your broker can increase — sometimes intraday, sometimes for the whole market at once — and a position that was comfortably funded in the morning can be liquidated in the afternoon on the same balance. Your broker may close positions without asking you, and is generally entitled to.

3.What else can go wrong in futures specifically

The generic warnings above apply to every leveraged product. These are the ones that catch people in futures in particular, and each of them has ended accounts that were sized sensibly for ordinary conditions:

• Gaps. Price does not have to pass through your stop. A weekend, an economic release or an overnight headline can reopen the market far beyond it, and a stop is an instruction to trade at the market once touched — not a promise of a price.
• Limit moves and halts. Exchanges can halt trading or lock a contract at a daily limit. While that lasts, a losing position cannot be closed at any price, and the loss keeps accruing on paper until it can.
• Thin liquidity. Outside main hours, and during the seconds around a release, the book can be extremely thin. Orders slip, partial fills are common, and the price you see is not always a price you can get.
• Rollover and expiry. Contracts expire. If you hold one into expiry you may face settlement — physical delivery in some products — and if you roll, the new contract trades at a different price, which changes what any level, stop or automated rule based on the old one means.
• Settlement and end-of-day processes. Daily settlement moves money in and out of your account regardless of whether you closed anything, and a balance that looks sufficient during the session may not be after it.

4.Automation acts while you are not there — that is the point, and the risk

Tradeus executes what you configured, including when you configured it wrongly. A signal pointed at the wrong symbol, a multiplier with an extra digit, a strategy that fires more often than you expected in a fast market — the software will carry all of it out, on every account you connected, faster than you could intervene. Test with small size, and test on a demo account first.

An automated setup has failure modes a manual trader never meets. A webhook can fire twice. A signal source can repaint, so the alert that fired was based on a bar that later looked different. A strategy can re-enter a position it has just closed, over and over, in a market that is oscillating around its trigger. None of these are faults in the sense of something being broken; they are the ordinary behaviour of rules meeting a market.

Software, networks, brokers, exchanges and data feeds fail, and they tend to fail when markets move. Orders can be delayed, rejected, duplicated or filled at a price you did not expect. Do not build a setup whose only safeguard is that everything keeps working.

5.Copy trading multiplies a mistake

The copier's purpose is that one action reaches many accounts. That is the feature, and it is also the arithmetic of the worst day: a wrong instruction is not one loss, it is the same loss on every connected account at once, at whatever size each of them was configured for. There is no version of this where the benefit scales and the risk does not.

Targets do not mirror the source exactly. Each account is filled separately, in its own queue, at its own broker. Fills arrive at different prices, some partially, some not at all — because of latency, because of available margin, because a symbol is not enabled on that account, or because the market moved between the first fill and the last. Two accounts that ran the same signal all day can end the day with materially different results, and a target can hold a position the source has already closed.

Divergence compounds. Once one account has missed an entry or been filled at a different price, every later instruction lands on a different position than intended. A close that flattens the source may reverse a target; a scale-in may open a position somewhere that was meant to be reducing one. Reconcile what your accounts actually hold rather than assuming the copier has kept them identical, and check after any outage, disconnection or restart.

Per-account limits do not sum to a portfolio limit. A loss cap set on each of ten accounts permits ten times that loss across the ten. Size the group, not just the account, and remember that prop-firm accounts running the same signal are usually correlated to the point of being one bet.

If you copy a strategy published by someone else, everything above applies, plus this: we do not vet publishers, verify any figure they attach, or supervise what their strategy does next. Following one is your decision, and the orders it produces are yours.

6.Risk rules are not a safety net

Risk rules, the kill switch and account locks reduce certain kinds of damage. They do not make an account safe. A limit stops orders that pass through Tradeus; it cannot close a position your broker has already filled, cannot act on an account it is not connected to, and cannot help while it is switched off. Always keep direct access to your broker and know how to flatten a position without us.

A limit is also only as current as the data behind it. If a broker connection drops, if a fill is reported late, or if a position was opened outside Tradeus, the number a rule is measuring against may be stale at the moment it matters. A flatten instruction is an order like any other: it can be delayed, rejected or partially filled, and in a halted or limit-locked market it cannot be filled at all.

Treat every guard in this product as something that reduces the frequency of a bad outcome, never as something that removes its possibility. The position size you choose is still the only control that works when everything else does not.

7.Technology and connectivity

Tradeus runs on servers, reaches your broker over the public internet, and depends on services we do not control: brokers, exchanges, data providers, TradingView where you send alerts from it, and cloud infrastructure. Any of these can be slow, wrong or unavailable, and the failures that matter cluster exactly where the risk does — in fast markets and around news.

Your side matters too. An alert that never leaves your charting platform, a laptop that sleeps, a home connection that drops, a phone with no signal — each can mean an instruction is not sent, or that you do not see what happened until later.

Have a plan for the case where Tradeus is not available: your broker's own platform, its phone desk, and a clear idea of what you would do with each open position. The time to work that out is not while it is happening.

8.Hypothetical and simulated results

Some parts of Tradeus show results that were never traded. The Prop Pass Simulator, in particular, resamples historical trade outcomes to estimate how often a set of rules would have reached a target before breaching a limit. These are hypothetical results.

Hypothetical performance has well-known limitations. It is prepared with the benefit of hindsight, it does not involve financial risk, and no simulated record can account for the effect of real money on a real decision — the trades in a simulation are always taken, at the size stated, without hesitation, slippage surprises or a missed fill. Results of this kind frequently overstate what the same approach achieves live. They are a way of thinking about a distribution of outcomes, not a forecast of yours.

A simulation is also only as good as the trades fed into it. A short history, a sample taken from one kind of market, or a rule chosen because it looked good on that same history will all produce a confident-looking number that does not survive contact with a different regime.

9.Past performance

Any past performance shown anywhere in the product or on this site, whether it is your own history, another trader's, or a figure attached to a published strategy: past results do not predict future results. A run of winning months is not evidence that the next one will be, and a strategy that worked in one market regime can stop working in another without anything visibly changing.

10.Testimonials and other people's results

Where Tradeus shows a quote, a leaderboard entry, a shared payout or a strategy published by another trader, that is one person's experience and not a typical result. Such accounts are not verified by us unless the page says so and shows the source, they are more likely to come from people who did well than from people who did not, and they may involve circumstances you cannot reproduce. Do not treat them as an indication of what you will achieve.

We do not pay for testimonials. If that ever changes, the relationship will be disclosed next to the statement rather than in a footnote here.

11.Prop firms and funded accounts

If you trade an account provided by a proprietary trading firm, your relationship is with that firm and their rules govern it. Many firms restrict automation, third-party tools, copy trading between accounts, or trading the same signal across several accounts — and the restrictions differ from firm to firm and change over time. It is your responsibility to read your firm's rules and to comply with them.

Two rule types end more accounts than losses do, and both interact badly with automation. Trailing drawdown moves your loss limit up behind your highest balance — sometimes measured intraday, including unrealised profit — so a position that goes your way and comes back can breach a limit that was nowhere near your entry. Consistency rules cap how much of your total profit may come from one day or one trade, which means a single exceptionally good day can disqualify a payout rather than earn one. Automation reaches both thresholds faster than a person would.

Using Tradeus is not a guarantee that you are within any particular firm's rules, and we are not liable for an account that is breached, suspended, reset or closed. An evaluation fee is a cost you can lose in full.

12.No advice, and no suitability check

Nothing in Tradeus — not a chart, not a strategy in the marketplace, not an answer from the AI assistant, not a number in the simulator — is a personal recommendation. We do not know your circumstances, your experience or your finances, and no suitability or appropriateness assessment has been performed on you, because we are not licensed to perform one. Deciding whether any of this is right for you is your responsibility, and a licensed adviser in your own country is the person to ask if you are unsure.

13.Tax is yours

Trading profits and losses have tax consequences that depend on where you live and how you trade. We do not provide tax advice, the figures in the product are not prepared for a tax return, and nothing exported from it is a tax statement. Your broker's records are the authoritative account of what you traded. Ask an accountant in your own country.
