Futures trading risk disclosure
Futures, options on futures, and leveraged products involve substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for all investors. You can lose more than your initial investment. Before trading, carefully consider your financial situation, experience level, and risk tolerance.
Any automation tools, examples, demonstrations, indicators, or strategies made available by ZoidFinancial are provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.
Key risks to understand
- Leverage: small market moves can have a large impact on P&L.
- Volatility and gaps: rapid moves can cause slippage and fills worse than expected.
- Liquidity: low liquidity periods can widen spreads and increase slippage.
- Technology risk: connectivity, VPS outages, data feed issues, platform bugs, and broker rejections can occur.
- Execution risk: commissions, fees, and order routing affect results.
- Model risk: strategies can stop working; regimes change; drawdowns can exceed expectations.
Performance and win rate
Win rate alone does not determine profitability. A strategy can win frequently and still lose money, or win less often and be profitable depending on average win size, average loss size, tail risk, and execution costs.
If you publish performance claims, you should provide the timeframe, assumptions (commission/slippage), and whether results are backtested, simulated, or live. Include full, clear risk disclosures on the same page or immediately adjacent to those claims.
Hypothetical / backtested results
Hypothetical or backtested performance has inherent limitations. It does not represent actual trading and may not reflect the impact of liquidity, slippage, and other market factors. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
You are responsible for your trading
You are solely responsible for deciding whether to trade and for your account decisions, including risk limits, contract size, and when automation is enabled or disabled.
