Risk Disclosure

• The value of securities can fluctuate significantly, and you may lose some or all of your invested capital.
• Leveraged and margin trading amplifies both potential gains and losses.
• Market liquidity can vary, and you may not be able to exit positions at desired prices.
• System outages, network issues, or brokerage downtime may prevent you from managing positions during critical periods.
• Slippage between expected and executed prices can occur, especially in volatile markets.

• Options trading carries a high degree of risk and is not appropriate for all investors.
• Buyers of options may lose the entire premium paid.
• Sellers of options may face unlimited loss potential (naked calls) or substantial losses (puts and covered strategies).
• Complex multi-leg strategies carry unique risks including execution risk and margin requirements.
• Options are time-decaying assets; their value erodes as expiration approaches.
• Early assignment risk exists for American-style options.

Past performance of any strategy, algorithm, or trading system is not indicative of future results. Historical backtests and paper trading results do not account for all real-world factors including slippage, market impact, and liquidity constraints. Hypothetical performance results have inherent limitations and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.

AlphaDesk supports both paper (simulated) and live trading modes. You should be aware that:

• Paper trading results may differ significantly from live trading due to the absence of real market impact, slippage, and partial fills.
• Emotional and psychological factors present in live trading are absent in paper trading.
• Successful paper trading performance does not guarantee successful live trading.
• Ensure you are connected to the correct environment (paper vs. live) before executing trades.
