Risk Disclosure

Read this before using Kvants

Trading and investing involve substantial risk. You can lose some or all of your capital. You are solely responsible for your decisions, orders, strategies, position sizes, leverage, venues, wallets, tax reporting, and regulatory compliance.

Kvants tools are software and informational workflows. They do not remove market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, technology risk, model risk, legal risk, or the possibility of total loss.

No guarantee of results

Past performance, backtested performance, simulated results, marketplace metrics, AI-generated analysis, community rankings, and example strategies do not guarantee future results. Markets change, data can be incomplete, and execution conditions in live markets can differ materially from simulations.

Backtesting and hypothetical performance

Backtests are hypothetical and may be affected by assumptions, survivorship bias, data quality, fees, slippage, funding, borrow availability, latency, liquidity, market impact, corporate actions, symbol mapping, and overfitting. A strategy that performs well in a backtest can fail in live trading.

Walk-forward analysis, stress tests, risk flags, and validation tools are aids, not guarantees. You must independently validate any strategy before using it.

AI and automation risks

AI outputs may be wrong, incomplete, stale, biased, overconfident, non-compliant, or unsafe. Automated systems may submit unintended orders, fail to submit intended orders, repeat actions, miss data, misread state, or behave unexpectedly during outages or market stress.

You should use paper trading, limited permissions, small sizes, kill switches, exchange-side risk controls, alerts, and independent monitoring before considering live automation.

Stocks, crypto, derivatives, margin, and leverage

Stocks, ETFs, crypto assets, perpetual futures, derivatives, margin, leverage, and tokenized products each carry different risks. These may include volatility, gaps, liquidation, funding payments, counterparty failure, exchange outages, smart contract bugs, custody loss, forks, hacks, regulatory action, delisting, settlement failures, and loss of access.

Leveraged and derivative products can lose more than the amount you initially commit. Digital assets may have no government protection, deposit insurance, or recovery path if keys or assets are lost.

Third-party venues and connected accounts

Broker, exchange, wallet, data, model, and payment integrations are controlled by third parties. Their outages, errors, rule changes, fees, restrictions, liquidations, rejected orders, inaccurate data, or security incidents can harm you. Kvants is not responsible for third-party conduct or custody.

Regulatory and jurisdiction risk

Financial, securities, commodities, derivatives, tax, sanctions, consumer, and digital asset laws vary by jurisdiction and can change quickly. A feature available in one place may be restricted or unavailable in another. You are responsible for determining whether your use is lawful where you are located and where you trade.

Operational risk

Internet failures, cloud outages, API failures, credential revocation, expired tokens, rate limits, downtime, bugs, delayed data, corrupted state, and user error can lead to missed signals, missed exits, duplicate actions, or unexpected exposure.

Your responsibility

Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Do not rely on Kvants as your only risk control. Review every strategy and connected-account permission carefully, and seek advice from qualified professionals where appropriate.
