Risk Disclosure
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Trading and financial markets involve substantial risk.
You should carefully consider whether participating in trading, futures, CFDs, leveraged products, simulated trading evaluations, proprietary trading programs, or related services is appropriate for you.
You should never trade or participate with money you cannot afford to lose.
There is no guarantee that you will make a profit, pass an evaluation, receive a payout, receive funding, or achieve any particular trading result.
1. PURPOSE OF THIS DISCLOSURE
This Risk Disclosure explains material risks associated with Finvora Capital and Finvora Funded services.
It does not identify every possible risk.
Market conditions, product structures, technology, liquidity, regulation, and other circumstances may create additional risks.
You are responsible for understanding the product you purchase before participating.
2. MARKET RISK
Financial markets can move rapidly and unpredictably.
Prices may rise or fall because of:
- economic conditions;
- interest rates;
- inflation;
- monetary policy;
- political developments;
- geopolitical events;
- market sentiment;
- corporate events;
- natural disasters;
- technological events;
- liquidity conditions; and
- other factors.
You may experience losses as a result.
3. LEVERAGE RISK
Leverage allows you to control a larger position using a smaller amount of capital or margin.
While leverage can increase potential returns, it can also increase potential losses.
Small market movements can therefore have a significant impact on an account.
4. CFD RISK
Contracts for Difference (“CFDs”) are leveraged financial instruments that can involve significant risk.
CFD prices may move rapidly.
You may lose money quickly because of leverage.
Depending on the structure of the CFD product, costs may include:
- spreads;
- commissions;
- financing;
- overnight charges;
- swap charges;
- slippage; and
- other transaction costs.
CFDs may not be suitable for all traders.
5. FUTURES RISK
Futures trading involves significant risk.
Futures contracts are leveraged instruments and may experience substantial price movements over short periods.
Risks include:
- leverage;
- margin requirements;
- liquidation;
- volatility;
- gaps;
- liquidity risk;
- contract expiration;
- rollover;
- exchange rules;
- trading halts;
- slippage; and
- rapid losses.
6. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
Foreign-exchange markets can experience significant volatility.
Currency prices may be affected by:
- central-bank decisions;
- interest-rate changes;
- economic releases;
- political developments;
- geopolitical events;
- trade conditions; and
- market sentiment.
7. CRYPTOCURRENCY RISK
Where cryptocurrency-related products are available, they may involve additional risks.
Cryptocurrency markets may experience:
- extreme volatility;
- liquidity shortages;
- regulatory changes;
- exchange failures;
- cyberattacks;
- technological failures;
- market manipulation; and
- substantial price declines.
8. SIMULATED TRADING RISK
Some Finvora products use simulated trading environments.
Simulated trading does not necessarily replicate live-market conditions.
Differences may exist in:
- execution;
- liquidity;
- spreads;
- slippage;
- order fills;
- latency;
- market impact;
- commissions;
- pricing;
- trading hours; and
- availability.
A successful simulated performance does not guarantee successful live trading.
9. EVALUATION RISK
Purchasing a trading evaluation does not guarantee that you will pass.
You may fail an evaluation because of:
- losses;
- drawdown;
- daily-loss violations;
- rule violations;
- insufficient trading days;
- excessive exposure;
- prohibited strategies;
- technical issues; or
- other applicable conditions.
10. FUNDED-ACCOUNT RISK
A “funded account” or similar designation does not necessarily mean that the displayed account balance represents cash deposited in your personal account.
The exact structure depends on the relevant Finvora product agreement.
You should carefully review the product documentation before trading.
11. DRAWDOWN RISK
Drawdown measures the decline in account value from a specified reference point.
Different programs may use:

This can occur following:

- geopolitical events;
- weekends;
- holidays;
- market closures;
- unexpected news; or
- liquidity events.
Stop-loss orders may not always execute at the exact requested price in live markets.
13. SLIPPAGE
The price at which an order is executed may differ from the requested price.
Slippage may be caused by:
- volatility;
- liquidity;
- latency;

- third-party infrastructure.
14. LIQUIDITY RISK
Some instruments may have limited liquidity.
Low liquidity can result in:
- wider spreads;
- greater slippage;
- difficulty entering or exiting positions;
- partial fills;

Copy trading does not guarantee that the copied strategy will be profitable.

Software may malfunction because of:
- programming errors;
- incorrect settings;
- platform changes;
- connectivity failures;
- market conditions;
- unexpected data;
- API failures; or
- technical errors.
You are responsible for understanding any automated strategy you use.
