Risk disclosure

Investing in crypto assets and allocating capital to automated trading strategies involves a high degree of risk and is not suitable for every person. Before you deposit any funds with Trade Jin or allocate any part of your balance to a strategy, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, financial situation and risk appetite. You should seek advice from an independent, appropriately licensed financial adviser if you have any doubt.

You may lose some or all of the money you deposit or allocate. You should never deposit or allocate money that you cannot afford to lose entirely, money you have borrowed, or money that you need for living expenses, rent, debt repayment, education, retirement, or any other essential purpose.

Nothing on this website, in your dashboard, or in any communication from Trade Jin constitutes investment advice, a personal recommendation, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument or crypto asset. All decisions to deposit, allocate, rebalance or withdraw are made by you, at your sole discretion and risk.

The prices of crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are extremely volatile. It is common for prices to move by 10% or more within a single day, and prices have historically fallen by 50%, 70% or more over periods of weeks or months. These movements can happen suddenly, without warning, and at any time of day or night, including weekends and public holidays.

Your deposit is converted to a USD-denominated balance at the market rate at the time it is credited. Strategies then take positions in crypto markets on your behalf. Adverse market moves can rapidly reduce the value of your allocation. Periods of high volatility can cause losses far larger than those observed historically.

Crypto markets can suffer from low liquidity, flash crashes, exchange outages, trading halts, delistings, and manipulation, including wash trading and spoofing. Any of these events may cause a strategy to be unable to enter or exit positions at expected prices, resulting in losses.

Each Trade Jin strategy is an automated, rules-based system, some components of which use statistical or machine-learning models. These systems operate without human approval of individual trades. Automation does not remove risk; in some circumstances it can amplify it.

Models are built from historical data and assumptions that may not hold in the future. Market regimes change. A strategy that performed well in one environment may perform poorly, or lose money continuously, in another. No model can predict the future, and no strategy is guaranteed to be profitable.

Software may contain bugs, configuration errors, or logic flaws. Data feeds may be delayed, incomplete, or incorrect. Connectivity to trading venues may fail. Any of these issues could cause a strategy to trade incorrectly, fail to trade, or hold positions longer than intended, resulting in losses.

The labels 'Low risk', 'Medium risk' and 'High risk' are relative descriptions of each strategy's expected volatility compared to the others. They are not assurances. A 'Low risk' strategy can still lose money, and may in rare conditions experience losses comparable to higher-risk strategies.

Higher-risk strategies may use leverage and derivative instruments such as perpetual futures. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. A relatively small adverse price movement can result in a proportionally much larger loss, and positions may be liquidated automatically by trading venues, crystallising losses at unfavourable prices.

During extreme market events, liquidation cascades can cause prices to gap, meaning losses can exceed the levels implied by stop-loss logic or historical maximum drawdown figures.

Performance figures, charts, target return ranges and maximum drawdown figures shown on this website and in your dashboard are model-derived, simulated and/or back-tested indicators. They are provided for illustration only. They are not a reliable indicator of future results and do not represent actual trading by any client account.

Simulated and back-tested results have inherent limitations: they are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not reflect the impact of real execution, slippage, liquidity constraints, fees, or the psychological factors of live trading, and may be materially more favourable than actual results.

Target return ranges (for example '8 - 14%') are design objectives, not forecasts or promises. Actual returns may be significantly lower than the target range and may be negative.

When you send crypto to a Trade Jin deposit address, you transfer control of those assets. Your account balance represents a claim recorded by Trade Jin, not assets held in your own wallet. If Trade Jin were to become insolvent, suffer a security breach, or otherwise be unable to meet its obligations, you could lose some or all of your balance.

Your balance is not a bank deposit. It is not protected by any government deposit-guarantee scheme, investor-compensation scheme, or insurance, unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.

Crypto transactions are irreversible. If you send funds to the wrong address, on the wrong network, or send an unsupported token, those funds are likely to be permanently lost and Trade Jin may be unable to recover them. Deposits are credited only after on-chain confirmation, which can take minutes to hours depending on network conditions.

Withdrawal requests are reviewed before being broadcast. Withdrawals may be delayed, suspended or refused for security, compliance, legal, or operational reasons, including periods of extreme market stress. Network fees apply and may change.

Crypto platforms are frequent targets of hacking, phishing, social engineering, and other cyber-attacks. Despite security measures, Trade Jin cannot guarantee that its systems, or the third-party systems it relies on, will not be compromised.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. Trade Jin will never ask for your password by email, phone or chat. Anyone who gains access to your account may be able to request withdrawals of your balance.

Blockchain networks themselves may experience forks, congestion, protocol bugs, or attacks (such as 51% attacks) that could affect the validity, timing, or value of deposits and withdrawals.

The legal and regulatory treatment of crypto assets and automated investment services is uncertain and varies between jurisdictions. Laws may change in ways that restrict or prohibit the use of this service, require Trade Jin to suspend operations, or adversely affect the value of crypto assets.

It is your responsibility to ensure that using this service is lawful in your country of residence. The service is not offered to persons in jurisdictions where it would be unlawful. Trade Jin may not hold every licence or registration that may be required in your jurisdiction.

You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes that apply to your deposits, gains, losses and withdrawals. Tax treatment of crypto assets is complex and may change.

Strategies may execute through third-party exchanges, brokers, liquidity providers, and data vendors. The failure, insolvency, fraud, hack, or regulatory action against any of these counterparties could result in losses or frozen funds that Trade Jin cannot recover.

Price feeds used to value deposits and positions are sourced from third parties and may be inaccurate, delayed, or temporarily unavailable.

Fees, including network fees on withdrawals, reduce your returns. Trade Jin may earn revenue from the operation of the platform. Our interests may not always be aligned with yours, and you should take that into account when making decisions.

By creating an account, depositing funds, or allocating capital to any strategy, you confirm that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure in full; that you understand you may lose all of the money you deposit or allocate; that no guarantee of profit or protection from loss has been given to you; that you are acting on your own behalf and on your own judgement; and that you are legally permitted to use this service.

This disclosure cannot describe every risk associated with crypto assets or automated trading. Other risks, including ones not currently foreseeable, may arise. If you do not understand any part of this document, do not use the service until you have obtained independent professional advice.
