Risk Disclosure

1. Purpose of This Disclosure

This Risk Disclosure is intended to help you understand the material risks involved in using an automated XAUUSD (gold) trading strategy delivered through third-party copy trading. Please read it before joining TradeFlux.

• It describes important risks, but it is not a complete list of every possible risk.
• You should consider whether this level of risk is appropriate for your financial circumstances.

It should be read together with the Terms of Service and the Disclaimer.

2. Trading Can Result in Losses

There is no guarantee of profit. Losses can occur, and periods of drawdown can occur.

A strategy that has previously been profitable can subsequently lose money. This is a normal feature of trading rather than an unusual one, and it applies to automated strategies as much as to manual ones.

3. XAUUSD / Gold Market Risk

TradeFlux currently focuses on XAUUSD (gold). Gold prices can move rapidly, for reasons including:

• interest-rate expectations
• inflation expectations
• currency movements
• geopolitical events
• macroeconomic data
• central-bank activity
• market sentiment
• liquidity conditions

Because the strategy concentrates on a single market, it carries market-specific concentration risk: conditions that affect gold affect the whole strategy at once, without the offsetting effect a broader spread of markets might provide.

4. Leverage and Margin

Where the broker product involves leverage or margin:

• leverage magnifies exposure relative to the capital committed
• losses may occur more quickly than expected
• margin requirements may change
• positions may be closed by the broker, depending on the broker's rules

The leverage available to you, the margin rules that apply, and any protections attached to your account are determined by your broker, your account type and your circumstances — not by TradeFlux. Please check them with your broker rather than assuming them.

5. CFD and Derivative Risk

Where XAUUSD exposure is provided through a CFD, rolling spot product or another leveraged derivative, you are exposed to the risks of that instrument rather than owning physical gold.

• Leveraged derivatives are complex products.
• You should understand the specific product offered by your broker.
• Broker-specific terms and protections apply to it.

The precise instrument, leverage, margin terms and any protections that apply to you depend on your specific RoboForex account and product, and should be checked directly with RoboForex.

6. Automated Strategy Risk

TradeFlux uses an automated strategy. Automation changes how trades are placed; it does not change the nature of market risk.

Automation can

• respond to markets according to programmed logic
• open trades without manual intervention by you
• experience losing sequences
• behave differently in market conditions not represented in its history
• continue operating during fast or volatile markets, subject to broker and platform availability

Automation does not

• predict the future
• remove uncertainty
• guarantee that consistency of process will produce profit
• guarantee protection from losses

7. Copy-Trading Risk

Your trades are copied to your account through third-party infrastructure. Differences between the source strategy and your own account can arise from:

• execution price
• execution timing
• slippage
• spread
• account balance
• account type
• leverage
• broker settings
• minimum trade sizes
• technical delays
• connectivity
• trade rejection

For these reasons your results may not match the source strategy exactly, and may not match those of other customers.

8. Execution and Slippage

Orders may be executed at a price different from the one expected.

• Fast-moving markets can increase slippage.
• Stop-loss orders do not guarantee execution at the requested price.
• Orders may be delayed, rejected or partially executed depending on broker and platform conditions.

TradeFlux does not control RoboForex's execution environment.

9. Liquidity, Gaps and Volatility

Markets may gap, meaning the price moves from one level to another without trading at the levels in between. Liquidity may reduce, and spreads may widen.

Important news or geopolitical events can cause unusually rapid movement. Positions may therefore incur larger gains or losses than anticipated, including beyond the level at which an order was intended to take effect.

10. Third-Party and Broker Risk

TradeFlux depends on third-party infrastructure to deliver the copy-trading service. Risks arising from that dependency include:

• RoboForex outages
• copy-trading platform outages
• connectivity failure
• delayed execution
• data problems
• account restrictions
• broker rule changes
• discontinuation of a service

TradeFlux does not control those systems and cannot guarantee their continued availability.

11. Technology and Connectivity Risk

Availability and execution may be affected by:

• internet outages
• software faults
• server issues
• maintenance
• cybersecurity incidents
• latency

No online or automated service is guaranteed to operate continuously.

12. Performance and Backtest Risk

Historical results do not guarantee future performance. Backtests and simulations rest on assumptions, and live markets may behave differently from historical data.

Published results may not reflect your

• execution
• account settings
• start date
• allocation
• deposits and withdrawals
• fees
• broker conditions

Where performance information is shown on the TradeFlux website, please consider it together with its methodology, the period covered and the accompanying risk information.

13. Drawdown and Losing Periods

Drawdown means a fall from a previous peak in account value — the extent to which an account is down from its best point before recovering, if it recovers.

• Losses may occur over a sequence of consecutive trades.
• A drawdown can last longer than expected, in both depth and duration.
• A historical maximum drawdown is not a limit on future drawdown.
• Recovery from a drawdown is not guaranteed.

14. Customer-Specific Financial Risk

The same trading loss affects different people differently. What matters is not only the size of a loss but what that money was needed for.

You should not allocate money whose loss would materially affect:

• essential living costs
• housing
• debt obligations
• emergency reserves
• your broader financial security

Only you can assess this. TradeFlux does not provide personal financial advice, and where appropriate you may wish to obtain independent professional advice.

15. Fees and Performance

TradeFlux currently advertises a performance-based fee of 25% of eligible profit, charged weekly. Fees reduce your net return, so gross strategy performance is not the same as what reaches your account.

16. Customer Control, Acknowledgement and Contact

A few points about what remains in your hands:

• Your funds remain in your own broker account throughout.
• You manage your own broker relationship.
• You can manage or stop the broker-side copy relationship, subject to RoboForex's functionality and terms.
• TradeFlux cannot guarantee the recovery of losses.
