Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 1 January 2026

This Risk Disclosure describes material risks associated with trading cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange and other volatile financial instruments, and with using the analytics, calculators and automated tools made available through Finantrix Forge. Please read it carefully. It should be considered together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Important: You may lose some or all of the money you invest. Only commit capital that you can afford to lose entirely without affecting your financial stability or obligations.

1. Purpose of This Disclosure

Finantrix Forge provides information, educational material and software tools. We do not guarantee any profit, return or outcome. This Disclosure is intended to help you make informed decisions and to identify the principal categories of risk. It cannot describe every risk, and new risks may emerge over time.

2. General Market Risk

The prices of financial instruments can rise or fall for reasons that are unpredictable, including economic conditions, interest-rate decisions, geopolitical events, changes in sentiment and unexpected news. You may receive back less than you invested, and you may be unable to recover your original capital.

3. Cryptocurrency Volatility

Digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have historically experienced significant and rapid price movements, including large declines within short periods. Markets may trade around the clock with thin liquidity at certain times. Digital assets are not backed by a central government or deposit guarantee scheme, and their value may fall to zero.

4. Forex and Leverage

Foreign exchange trading, particularly when leveraged, can magnify both gains and losses. A small adverse movement in price may result in losses exceeding your initial deposit, depending on the product and your account terms. Currency values are influenced by central bank policy, inflation, capital flows and political developments.

5. Automated and AI-Driven Tools

Algorithms, models and automated strategies can fail. They are built on historical data and assumptions that may not hold in future market conditions. Software may contain errors, may respond to unusual data incorrectly, or may not execute as intended. Automated tools do not eliminate risk and can accelerate losses. Simulated or backtested results do not reflect actual trading, which involves slippage, fees, latency and emotional factors that are difficult to model.

6. Liquidity and Execution Risk

You may be unable to buy or sell an asset at your desired price or at the time you choose. Gaps in pricing, exchange outages, order rejections and wide spreads can cause losses that differ from those expected or displayed by the Service.

7. Custody, Security and Technical Risk

Digital assets held with third-party platforms or self-custody wallets are exposed to risks including hacking, phishing, loss of private keys, software vulnerabilities, insolvency of a custodian and irreversible transactions. Internet outages, device failures and third-party service disruptions may also prevent you from accessing your account or acting in time.

8. Third-Party and Counterparty Risk

Exchanges, brokers, data providers and payment processors are independent businesses. Their failure, misconduct or regulatory action may result in financial loss. We do not supervise or guarantee their performance.

9. Regulatory and Legal Risk

The legal and regulatory treatment of digital assets and leveraged products is evolving in Canada and elsewhere. New rules, tax treatment or enforcement actions may adversely affect the value, availability or legality of certain instruments or services.

10. Tax Considerations

Gains from trading may be taxable, and losses may have limited deductibility. You are responsible for understanding and meeting your obligations under applicable tax laws, including reporting requirements administered by the Canada Revenue Agency. Consult a qualified tax professional before making decisions with tax implications.

11. Past Performance and Projections

Historical returns, calculator outputs and illustrative scenarios are not indicators of future performance. Any projection shown on the Service is hypothetical, depends on assumptions you may not share, and should not be relied upon as a forecast or promise of income.

12. Your Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for your investment decisions. Before trading, you should assess your financial situation, investment objectives, experience and risk tolerance, and consider seeking independent advice from a licensed professional in Canada. Diversification, position sizing and the use of protective orders can help manage risk but cannot eliminate it.

13. Acknowledgement

By using the Service, you confirm that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure, that you accept the risks described, and that you are not relying on Finantrix Forge for investment, legal or tax advice. If you do not understand any part of this Disclosure, you should not trade and should seek independent guidance.
