Risk Disclosure
Trading crypto assets, forex and stocks can result in the loss of some or all of your capital. Only invest money you can afford to lose. Read this disclosure in full before relying on any information from Zorquedáño.
1. Purpose of this disclosure
This Risk Disclosure describes material risks associated with the use of the Zorquedáño platform and with trading or holding digital assets and other financial instruments. It does not disclose every possible risk. It should be read together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and it does not replace independent professional advice.
2. Capital at risk
The value of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum can fall as well as rise, and you may lose some or all of the capital you commit. Losses can occur quickly and may exceed expectations based on historical behaviour. You should not invest borrowed money or money needed for essential living costs.
3. Volatility and market conditions
Digital-asset markets trade continuously and are subject to sharp price movements driven by sentiment, news, liquidity shifts, regulatory developments and large individual transactions. Prices may gap, and markets may become illiquid at the moment you wish to exit a position. Past performance, whether historical returns, backtests or example scenarios, is not a reliable indicator of future results.
4. Limitations of AI-assisted analysis
The Platform uses automated models and data processing to summarise market information and display risk controls. Models can be wrong. They may be trained on incomplete or unrepresentative data, may react poorly to unusual conditions, and may be affected by data errors, delays or technical faults. An AI-generated signal, score or chart does not guarantee any outcome, and no model can predict markets with certainty.
5. Illustrative calculators
Calculators and projections on the Platform are hypothetical. They use simplified assumptions, fixed rates and selected time periods that may not reflect actual market behaviour, fees, taxes, slippage or delays. Figures shown are not forecasts, promises or indications of expected income. Actual results may be substantially lower than displayed, or negative.
6. Custody and counterparty risk
Unless expressly stated, the Platform does not hold your digital assets. Assets held on exchanges or with other providers are exposed to that provider's solvency, operational failures, security breaches, withdrawal restrictions or fraud. Private keys that are lost or compromised may result in permanent loss of access to assets. Such risks cannot be fully mitigated by any software.
7. Cyber security and account risk
Online platforms, wallets and communication channels are targets for phishing, malware, account takeover and social engineering. You are responsible for keeping credentials secure, enabling strong authentication where available and verifying any request for funds or personal information. We will never ask you for your full password or private keys.
8. Liquidity and execution
Orders may not be executed at the price you expect. Spreads, fees, network congestion and thin order books can increase the cost of trading and reduce returns. Exchanges may halt trading, and some assets may become difficult or impossible to sell.
9. Regulatory and legal risk
The regulatory status of digital assets varies by jurisdiction and is changing. Rules in the United Kingdom, including those applying to financial promotions and cryptoasset activities, may restrict the availability of certain products or services. Changes in law or regulatory enforcement could affect your ability to use the Platform or hold particular assets.
10. Tax
Tax treatment of digital assets depends on your individual circumstances and may change over time. Gains, losses and income from trading may be taxable. You are responsible for keeping adequate records and for meeting any reporting obligations. We do not provide tax advice.
11. Concentration and leverage
Holding a small number of assets, or using any form of borrowed funds or leverage, magnifies risk. Leveraged positions can lead to losses greater than your initial deposit and may be closed automatically by a provider. Diversification does not eliminate risk and does not guarantee protection against losses.
12. Risk controls are not guarantees
Stop-loss settings, position limits, alerts and other risk management features are intended to help you manage exposure. They may not work as intended during fast markets, outages or gaps in pricing, and they do not remove the risk of loss.
13. Your responsibilities
Before making any investment decision, you should consider your financial situation, experience, objectives and risk tolerance, and seek independent advice where appropriate. You should understand each product you use and the specific risks it carries. If you are unsure whether an investment is suitable for you, do not proceed.
