Risk Disclosure

1. Non-Advisory Notice

HyperWhale provides software and informational tooling only. Nothing in the Service constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

You are solely responsible for evaluating whether any strategy, leader, or configuration is suitable for your objectives and risk profile.

2. Market Volatility Risk

Digital asset markets can move rapidly and unpredictably. Prices may rise or fall sharply in short periods, including during low-liquidity conditions.

3. Leverage and Liquidation Risk

Leverage can amplify both gains and losses. Even small adverse price moves can trigger margin stress, forced position closure, or liquidation.

4. Liquidity, Slippage, and Price Gaps

Order execution may occur at materially different prices than expected due to spread changes, order book depth, volatility spikes, or sudden market gaps.

5. Copy Trading Divergence Risk

Follower execution can differ from leader behavior because of latency, account size differences, position limits, market access differences, partial fills, or skipped trades.

Past leader performance is not a guarantee of future results and may deteriorate quickly under different market conditions.

6. Strategy and Behavioral Risk

Strategies may fail due to overfitting, regime change, concentration, model assumptions, or behavioral bias such as overconfidence and late reaction.

7. Technology and Operational Risk

Downtime, software defects, network congestion, delayed data, infrastructure incidents, and provider outages can impact access, visibility, and execution behavior.

8. Third-Party Platform and Counterparty Risk

The Service depends on third-party exchanges, wallets, market data sources, and infrastructure. Their failures, policy changes, suspensions, or insolvency can disrupt your activity and outcomes.

9. Wallet and Key Management Risk

In a non-custodial setup, you are responsible for private keys, signing authority, wallet hygiene, and access control. Loss or compromise of keys can result in irreversible asset loss.

10. Stablecoin and Token-Specific Risk

Individual assets may carry additional risks such as depegging, low float, delisting, governance issues, contract vulnerabilities, and market manipulation.

11. Regulatory and Tax Uncertainty

Regulatory frameworks for digital assets and copy trading vary by jurisdiction and may change with little notice. Legal or tax treatment can materially affect your activity and liabilities.

12. Capital-at-Risk and Suitability Statement

You should only trade capital you can afford to lose in whole or in part. The Service may be unsuitable for users with low risk tolerance or short-term liquidity constraints.

13. User Risk Controls and Personal Responsibility

You are responsible for setting and maintaining your own exposure limits, stop rules, position sizing, diversification, and monitoring routines.

You should review settings regularly and pause or stop automation when market conditions, strategy behavior, or personal risk constraints change.

14. Acknowledgement of Risk Acceptance

By using the Service, you acknowledge that crypto and copy-trading activities involve substantial risk, including the potential for significant or total loss.

You accept these risks and agree that outcomes remain your responsibility.
