This Risk Disclosure outlines the general risks associated with trading financial instruments and using the Back2Mean platform. By using Back2Mean, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

1. General Trading Risks

Risk of Loss

Trading financial instruments involves significant risk and may result in partial or total loss of your invested capital. You should only trade with funds you can afford to lose.

Market Volatility

Financial markets can be volatile and unpredictable. Prices may move rapidly due to market conditions, news events, or liquidity changes, resulting in gains or losses within short periods of time.

No Guaranteed Returns

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any signals, strategies, or historical information provided through Back2Mean do not guarantee future profitability or performance.

Leverage and Margin (If Applicable)

If you trade using leverage or margin through your broker, small market movements may result in disproportionately large gains or losses, potentially exceeding your initial investment. Back2Mean does not control leverage settings at the broker level.

2. System & Strategy Risks

Technology and Infrastructure

Back2Mean relies on software systems, internet connectivity, and third-party infrastructure. Technical failures, outages, or system errors may prevent trades from executing as intended or result in delayed or unintended outcomes.

Strategy Limitations

Trading strategies are based on historical data, statistical models, and defined assumptions. Market behavior may change over time, causing strategies to perform differently or become ineffective under certain conditions.

Backtesting and Simulated Results

Where historical or simulated results are referenced, such results do not represent actual trading and may not reflect real-world conditions such as slippage, commissions, liquidity constraints, or execution delays.

Over-Optimization Risk

Strategies may be optimized based on historical data and fail to perform as expected when applied to future or changing market conditions.
