Risk Disclosure
This Risk Disclosure describes the principal risks of trading through the Monstead Investment Platform. Please read it carefully, and read it again before your first deposit. If anything here is unclear, contact us before trading.

1. Capital at risk
Trading crypto, forex, stocks and commodities carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for every investor. You can lose some or all of the capital you deposit. You should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose, including savings you need for rent, bills, education or retirement.
2. No guarantee of profit
Nothing on this platform, in our communications or in any signal or projection constitutes a promise or guarantee of profit. Historical performance, whether of a market, a strategy or another user, does not predict future results. Any illustrative projection shown on the platform is a modelled example only.
3. Market volatility
Prices of cryptocurrencies, currencies, stocks and commodities can move sharply and unpredictably, in minutes. Gaps can occur between trading sessions, and extreme market conditions can lead to losses larger than a typical daily movement. Volatility works in both directions and can be amplified by leverage, news events and thin liquidity.
4. Leverage risk
If you trade using leverage, both profits and losses are magnified in proportion to the leverage used. A small adverse price movement can result in the loss of a large part of your position. You should only use leverage if you fully understand its mechanics and consequences.
5. Technology risk
The platform depends on internet connectivity, third-party market data feeds and your own devices. Connectivity failures, delayed data or system outages may prevent you from placing or closing trades at the moment you intend to, which can result in losses. We maintain the platform to high standards but cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation.
6. Cryptocurrency-specific risks
Cryptocurrencies carry additional risks beyond other asset classes: extreme price volatility, regulatory changes in various jurisdictions, cybersecurity threats affecting exchanges and wallets, and the possibility of illiquidity during market stress. The value of a crypto asset can fall to zero.
7. No personal financial advice
Monstead provides analysis, signals and information only. Nothing we publish or communicate constitutes personal financial advice, an investment recommendation or a solicitation to trade any particular instrument. All trading decisions are yours, and all losses that result are yours to bear.
8. Risk management tools
The platform offers stop-loss orders, position sizing guidance and personal risk limits. These tools reduce but do not eliminate risk. In fast-moving markets, a stop-loss may execute at a worse price than the level you set, and no tool can protect you from losses entirely.
9. Only trade what you understand
If you cannot explain an instrument or a position in plain English, do not trade it. Read our guides, ask your account manager, and never place a trade because of pressure, urgency or the fear of missing out.
10. Your responsibility
By using the Monstead Investment Platform you confirm that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure, that you accept the risks described, and that you are solely responsible for your trading decisions and their financial consequences.
