04. Risk Disclosure

⚠️ Critical Risk Warning

Trading futures, options, stocks, and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. Most traders lose money.

  • You may sustain a total loss of capital invested
  • Past performance is not indicative of future results
  • Automated trading does not guarantee profits or prevent losses
  • Market conditions can change rapidly and unexpectedly
  • You are solely responsible for all trading decisions and outcomes

Shadowstar Technologies LLC does not provide investment advice, does not guarantee any specific results, and is not responsible for any trading losses, costs, or damages incurred through the use of our Service. You should only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely.
