Risk Disclosure Statement

Last updated: April 1, 2026

1. Purpose of This Disclosure​

This Risk Disclosure Statement is provided by Atomik Trading LLC ("Atomik Trading," "we," "our," or "us") to ensure that you fully understand the risks associated with trading financial instruments and using our trade automation platform. This disclosure supplements our Terms of Service and should be read in its entirety before using the Service.

You should not use Atomik Trading or engage in trading activity unless you fully understand and accept the risks described below.

2. General Trading Risks​

2.1 Risk of Loss​

Trading futures, options, cryptocurrency, and other leveraged financial products involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your financial condition, investment experience, and risk tolerance. You may sustain a total loss of the funds you deposit with your broker or exchange, and in some cases, you may lose more than your initial deposit.

2.2 Past Performance​

Past performance is not indicative of future results. No trading strategy, system, methodology, or algorithm — whether automated or manual — can guarantee future profits or protection from losses. Historical performance results, including those displayed on our platform, in backtests, or in the Strategy Marketplace, have inherent limitations:

  • They are prepared with the benefit of hindsight.
  • They do not account for all market conditions that may occur in the future.
  • They may not reflect the impact of slippage, commissions, fees, or other real-world execution costs.
  • Simulated or hypothetical performance results do not represent actual trading and may overstate or understate the results that would have been achieved.

2.3 No Guarantee of Profit​

There is no guarantee that you will make money using Atomik Trading or any trading strategy. Many traders lose money. Only risk capital — money you can afford to lose without affecting your financial security or lifestyle — should be used for trading.

2.4 Market Risk​

Financial markets are subject to sudden and unpredictable price movements caused by, but not limited to:

  • Economic data releases and policy announcements.
  • Geopolitical events, natural disasters, and pandemics.
  • Changes in interest rates, inflation, or monetary policy.
  • Market sentiment shifts and liquidity conditions.
  • Flash crashes, limit moves, and trading halts.
  • After-hours and pre-market events that cause price gaps.

You should be aware that markets can and do move against your positions rapidly, and stop-loss orders or other protective mechanisms may not execute at the intended price, or may not execute at all.

3. Futures-Specific Risks​

3.1 Leverage and Margin​

Futures contracts are highly leveraged instruments. A small initial margin deposit can control a much larger contract value. While leverage can amplify profits, it equally amplifies losses. You may be required to deposit additional margin on short notice, and failure to do so may result in your positions being liquidated by your broker at a loss.

3.2 Daily Mark-to-Market​

Futures positions are settled daily. Losses are debited from your account in real time, and margin calls can occur intraday. You must maintain sufficient funds in your account to cover margin requirements at all times.

3.3 Contract Expiration and Rollover​

Futures contracts expire on specific dates. If positions are not closed or rolled over prior to expiration, you may be subject to physical delivery obligations or forced liquidation. Atomik Trading does not manage contract rollovers on your behalf.

3.4 Prop Trading and Funded Accounts​

If you use Atomik Trading with a prop trading firm or funded account, you are solely responsible for complying with that firm's rules, including drawdown limits, position size limits, permitted trading hours, and prohibited strategies. Violations of prop firm rules may result in account termination and loss of your evaluation fee or funded capital. Atomik Trading does not monitor or enforce prop firm rules.

4. Cryptocurrency-Specific Risks​

4.1 Extreme Volatility​

Cryptocurrency markets are known for extreme price volatility. Prices can fluctuate dramatically within minutes, and such volatility may result in significant and rapid losses.

4.2 Regulatory Uncertainty​

Cryptocurrency regulation varies by jurisdiction and is evolving. Changes in regulation may adversely affect the value, transferability, or legality of certain cryptocurrencies. You are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

4.3 Exchange and Counterparty Risk​

Cryptocurrency exchanges may be subject to hacking, insolvency, fraud, or operational failures. Atomik Trading is not responsible for the security or solvency of any exchange to which you connect your account.

4.4 Liquidity Risk​

Some cryptocurrency markets may have limited liquidity, which can result in significant slippage, inability to execute orders at desired prices, or inability to close positions.

5. Automated Trading and Platform Risks​

5.1 Technology Failures​

Automated trading depends on the reliable operation of multiple technology systems. Failures can and do occur, including but not limited to:

  • Platform outages: Atomik Trading's servers may experience downtime, latency, or degraded performance.
  • Broker API failures: Your broker or exchange's API may become unavailable, slow, or return errors.
  • Network interruptions: Internet connectivity issues between our platform and your broker may prevent trade execution.
  • Data feed errors: Market data feeds may contain delays, gaps, or inaccuracies.

Any of these failures may result in orders not being executed, being executed late, being executed at unintended prices, or being executed multiple times.

5.2 Slippage​

Orders submitted through our platform are market orders unless otherwise specified. The price at which your order is filled may differ from the price at which the signal was generated. This difference ("slippage") can be significant during periods of high volatility, low liquidity, or fast-moving markets.

5.3 Latency​

There is an inherent delay between the time a trading signal is generated, the time it is received by our platform, and the time the order is submitted to your broker. This latency can affect execution prices and may render certain time-sensitive strategies less effective.

5.4 System Errors and Bugs​

Software systems, including ours, may contain errors or bugs. While we strive to maintain reliable and accurate software, we do not guarantee that the platform is free of defects. Errors in signal processing, order routing, or position tracking could result in unintended trades or missed trades.

5.5 Webhook and Alert Risks​

If you use webhooks or external alert sources (such as TradingView), the reliability and accuracy of trade execution depends on the reliability and accuracy of those external systems. Atomik Trading does not control and is not responsible for:

  • Delays or failures in alert delivery from third-party platforms.
  • Incorrect or malformed alert payloads.
  • Duplicate alerts causing duplicate orders.
  • Changes to third-party platform APIs or alert formats.

6. Strategy Marketplace Risks​

6.1 No Endorsement or Verification​

Atomik Trading does not review, audit, verify, endorse, or guarantee any trading strategy listed on the Strategy Marketplace. The presence of a strategy on the Marketplace does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, or opinion on its quality, safety, or expected performance.

6.2 Creator Risk​

Strategy creators are independent third parties, not employees, agents, or representatives of Atomik Trading. We do not verify the qualifications, experience, or track record of creators. Any performance claims, descriptions, or statistics provided by creators are their own representations, and we make no warranty regarding their accuracy or completeness.

6.3 Subscriber Responsibility​

If you subscribe to a Marketplace strategy, you are making an independent decision to use that strategy. You are solely responsible for:

  • Evaluating whether the strategy is appropriate for your financial situation and risk tolerance.
  • Understanding how the strategy works before activating it.
  • Monitoring your positions and account while the strategy is active.
  • Deactivating the strategy if results are not meeting your expectations.

6.4 Strategy Performance May Vary​

A strategy that has performed well in the past, in backtesting, or for other users may not perform well for you. Performance can vary due to differences in broker execution, account size, market conditions, timing of activation, and other factors.

7. Copy Trading Risks​

7.1 Follower Risk​

Copy trading allows you to automatically replicate the trades of a leader account into your own follower accounts. By participating as a follower, you acknowledge that:

  • You are delegating trade execution decisions to the leader's activity.
  • The leader's trading style, risk tolerance, and account size may differ from yours.
  • Losses incurred by the leader will be proportionally replicated in your account based on your configured ratio.
  • There may be timing differences between the leader's execution and your follower execution, resulting in different fill prices.

7.2 Ratio and Position Sizing​

Copy trading ratios and position sizing are your responsibility to configure appropriately. An improperly configured ratio relative to your account size could result in excessive leverage, margin calls, or outsized losses.

8. Strategy Builder and AI-Generated Strategy Risks​

8.1 Backtesting Limitations​

The Strategy Builder provides backtesting capabilities that simulate strategy performance against historical market data. Backtest results are hypothetical and subject to significant limitations:

  • Backtests use historical data and cannot predict future market conditions.
  • Simulated execution does not account for real-world slippage, partial fills, or liquidity constraints.
  • Overfitting risk: A strategy that performs well on historical data may be optimized for past conditions and perform poorly in live markets.
  • Data quality: Backtest results are only as reliable as the underlying historical data, which may contain gaps or inaccuracies.

8.2 AI-Generated Code​

Strategies generated by our AI-powered tools are produced by large language models and are not guaranteed to be correct, complete, safe, or profitable. You must review, understand, and test any AI-generated strategy before deploying it with real capital. Atomik Trading is not responsible for losses resulting from strategies generated by our AI tools.
