Risk Disclosure
Last updated: 1 January 2026
Warning: you could lose some or all of the money you put into crypto-assets, leveraged trading or any other investment referenced on this website. Only commit capital that you can afford to lose entirely.
This Risk Disclosure forms part of our Terms of Service. It summarises material risks associated with using the Kluisterdom platform and with trading or investing in the markets our tools analyse. It is not exhaustive. You should read it carefully and seek independent professional advice where appropriate before making any financial decision.
1. Market and price risk
Crypto-asset prices are highly volatile and can fall sharply within minutes. Forex and equity prices can also move rapidly in response to economic data, political events, liquidity conditions and changes in sentiment. Historical price patterns do not reliably predict future movements, and sudden market gaps may prevent orders from being executed at the price you expected.
2. Leverage and margin
Leveraged products amplify both gains and losses. A relatively small adverse price movement may result in losses that exceed your initial deposit, and in some cases you may be required to deposit additional funds at short notice. Positions can be closed automatically by a provider if margin requirements are not met.
3. Limitations of AI and machine learning analysis
Kluisterdom uses machine learning models to analyse market data. These models are statistical tools and have inherent limitations. They may be trained on incomplete or unrepresentative data, may fail when market conditions change, and may produce false or misleading outputs. Model outputs, signals, scores and projections are not guarantees and should not be treated as certainties. Software errors, data outages and latency can also affect results.
4. Hypothetical calculators and illustrations
The calculator and similar illustrations on our website use simplified assumptions. They do not account for fees, spreads, slippage, taxes, funding costs, withdrawal delays or the effect of adverse market conditions. Figures shown are hypothetical, are not based on the actual trading performance of any account, and must not be relied upon as an indication of what you will earn.
5. Risk management controls
Risk management features such as stop-loss settings, position limits and exposure controls are designed to reduce, but cannot eliminate, the risk of loss. They may not trigger at the price you set during fast markets, and they depend on the connected third-party provider functioning correctly. You remain responsible for configuring these controls appropriately for your circumstances.
6. Counterparty, custody and technology risk
Exchanges, wallets, brokers and other providers may fail, freeze withdrawals, suffer security breaches or become insolvent. Digital assets may be lost through hacking, phishing, private key compromise or operational error. Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible. Kluisterdom does not hold your assets in custody unless it expressly states otherwise in writing.
7. Regulatory and tax risk
The regulatory treatment of crypto-assets and leveraged products varies between jurisdictions and can change quickly. Rules may restrict or prohibit certain activities where you live. Tax obligations on gains, income and disposals may apply, and you are responsible for understanding and meeting them.
8. Liquidity and concentration
Some assets may have thin trading volumes, making them difficult to sell at a fair price. Concentrating your capital in a single asset, strategy or provider increases your exposure to adverse events. Diversification does not guarantee profit or protect against loss in a broad market decline.
9. Not financial advice
Nothing on this website or in the Kluisterdom platform is a personal recommendation, an offer to buy or sell any investment, or an offer of portfolio management. Educational content is provided for general information only and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider whether any investment is suitable for you before proceeding.
10. Before you start
Consider your financial position, investment experience and tolerance for loss. Start with an amount you can afford to lose, test the risk settings in a way you understand, keep records for tax purposes, and never invest borrowed money. If you feel uncertain, seek advice from an appropriately qualified independent professional. For questions about this disclosure, contact [email protected] or call +44 20 7946 0412.
