Risk Notice

LAST UPDATED: 30 September 2026VERSION 1.0

Leveraged derivative trading can cost you your entire capital. Do not use the service without reading and understanding this notice.

1. Purpose of this notice

This document sets out the risks you should know before using the XTrad service. Its purpose is not to put you off, but to let you decide with your eyes open. Starting to use the service means you have read and accepted what is written here.

2. The nature of leveraged trading

XTrad is software that trades leveraged futures on Binance Futures. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. If the market moves against your position:

  • You may lose the entire margin you have deposited.
  • Losses can occur in a single trade and over a very short time.
  • At high leverage even small price moves can close the position.

Leveraged derivatives are not suitable for every investor. Do not use money you cannot afford to lose, money you need for daily life, or money raised through debt.

3. The limits of the protection layers

XTrad uses a two-layer protection mechanism that engages before the exchange's liquidation level is reached. This mechanism aims to to manage is the aim; it does not remove risk.

  • In sudden, sharp price moves (price gaps, flash crashes, liquidity withdrawal) protection thresholds may not execute at the intended price.
  • Liquidation carried out by the exchange cannot always be prevented.
  • Protective orders depend on the exchange's infrastructure; if the exchange goes down they may not be executed.

4. Market risk

Crypto-asset markets are more volatile, less regulated and open 24/7 compared with traditional markets. Prices can move unpredictably on non-public developments, regulatory decisions, exchange policies and market manipulation. Risk increases at weekends and during low-liquidity hours.

5. Risks specific to automated systems

An automated trading system carries risks of its own:

  • Technical fault: A software fault, server outage, network problem or power loss may prevent positions from being managed as expected.
  • Connectivity and latency: Latency between the server and the exchange can cause orders to fill at a price different from the one targeted.
  • Exchange API: If Binance changes its API, applies rate limits or cuts off access, the service may stop.
  • Wrong setting: The settings you make in the panel directly affect the outcome. Responsibility for advanced settings is yours.
  • Parameter change: The engine's rules are updated over time; behaviour observed in the past may not repeat in the future.

6. Exchange and third-party risk

Your funds sit in your own Binance account; XTrad never has access to them. In return, the risks relating to Binance are yours directly: XTrad cannot intervene in cases such as a technical outage, maintenance window, restriction or freezing of your account, suspension of withdrawals, or the exchange ceasing operations.

7. Past performance and simulation

The backtest output, test accounts, heat maps and terminal views on our site are simulations and representative visuals. It is not realised customer return.

  • Tests run on historical data are not an indicator of future results.
  • Simulations cannot model every condition that may be met in a live market.
  • XTrad does not promise, target or guarantee any rate of return.

8. Tax and regulation

The taxation and declaration of gains and losses arising from your trades, and compliance with the legislation of your country, are entirely your responsibility. XTrad does not provide tax advice. Crypto-asset regulation is changeable; it is up to you to make sure using this service is permitted where you live.

9. Statement of eligibility

By using the service you represent that:

  1. You are over 18 and have legal capacity.
  2. You understand the nature and risks of leveraged derivative trading.
  3. You can afford to lose the capital you will use.
  4. You know that XTrad does not give you investment advice, does not manage your portfolio and makes no promise of return.
  5. You accept that you make your decisions on your own assessment.
