Risk Disclaimer
Last updated: 1 March 2026
⚠ IMPORTANT RISK WARNING
Trading financial instruments, including forex, futures, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and derivatives, involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. AI-powered trading tools do not guarantee profits.
1. Nature of the Risk
Financial markets are inherently volatile and unpredictable. Even the most sophisticated AI models and algorithmic trading systems can generate incorrect signals, fail to anticipate market conditions, or experience technical malfunctions. You must understand and accept these risks before using ZuraFX agents to trade.
2. AI Agents Are Not Infallible
ZuraFX's 10 AI agents — Oracle, Sentinel, Cipher, Nexus, Fortress, Shield, Arbiter, Conduit, Striker, and Ledger — are trained algorithmic models designed to identify patterns and execute strategies. They operate based on historical data and statistical models. They are not:
- Financial advisors or licensed investment managers
- Infallible or guaranteed to be profitable
- Able to predict the future or react instantly to every market event
- Protected against data feed errors, API failures, or flash crashes
3. Past Performance
Any performance data, backtests, win rates, or return figures shown in the ZuraFX platform are for informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Backtested results may not reflect actual trading due to slippage, transaction costs, and market impact.
4. Leveraged Products
If you trade leveraged instruments (such as forex CFDs, futures, or leveraged ETFs), your losses can exceed your initial deposit. Never trade with leverage using money you cannot afford to lose. Ensure you fully understand the leverage and margin requirements of any instrument before activating agents to trade it.
5. Cryptocurrency Risks
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and largely unregulated. They carry additional risks including:
- Extreme price swings (50%+ intraday moves are not uncommon)
- Exchange hacks and custody risks
- Regulatory changes that may affect legality or value
- 24/7 market operation increasing exposure
6. Technical & Operational Risks
- Internet connectivity issues may prevent agents from executing trades or closing positions
- Broker API outages or rate limits may delay or prevent order execution
- Software bugs or errors in AI models may produce unexpected trading behaviour
- You should always have independent access to your broker platform to manually intervene
7. Your Responsibilities
Before activating any AI agent, you must:
- Set a maximum drawdown limit in your broker account settings
- Define position sizing and risk-per-trade parameters appropriate to your capital
- Monitor agent activity regularly, especially in volatile market conditions
- Maintain sufficient broker margin to avoid forced liquidations
- Understand the markets and instruments the agents will trade
8. ZuraFX Is Not a Regulated Financial Service
ZuraFX is a technology platform, not a regulated financial adviser, broker, or fund manager. We do not provide personalised investment advice. Nothing on the ZuraFX platform constitutes financial advice. If you require investment guidance, please consult a qualified financial adviser authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or the relevant regulator in your jurisdiction.
9. Only Trade What You Can Afford to Lose
We strongly recommend that you only allocate capital to automated trading that you can afford to lose entirely. Do not use borrowed money, pension funds, emergency savings, or money needed for living expenses.
By using ZuraFX's automated trading agents, you confirm that you have read and understood this Risk Disclaimer and accept all associated risks.
