Risk Disclosure Statement
Last updated: March 15, 2026
This Risk Disclosure Statement describes key risks associated with using SWING, crypto trading, automated order execution, and API-based exchange connectivity.
1. No advice and no guarantee
SWING does not provide personal investment advice, financial advice, or any guarantee of profit. Use of the platform and all strategies, signals, automation, and software tools offered by SWING is entirely at your own risk.
2. Very high risk of loss
Crypto assets are volatile and speculative. Prices can rise or fall sharply in a short period of time. You may lose part or all of the capital you commit.
3. Specific risks of swing trading
- false breakouts and failed recovery signals;
- strong counter-moves between entry and exit;
- overnight and weekend risk;
- deep drawdowns when trends reverse;
- stops not triggered or triggered too late because of gaps or poor liquidity.
4. Automated trading adds extra risk
- software bugs, logic errors, or unforeseen edge cases;
- incorrect profile settings or user choices;
- latency, API failures, timeouts, or delayed orders;
- partial fills, slippage, and different execution prices than expected;
- missed or duplicate orders caused by outages or synchronization issues.
5. Exchange and third-party risk
SWING depends on third-party exchanges, internet connections, servers, email systems, and infrastructure providers. Outages, hacks, insolvency, delistings, trading restrictions, changed API rules, or suspensions by third parties can directly cause damage or loss.
6. Security risk
Although SWING applies technical and organizational safeguards, there is always a risk of unauthorized access, phishing, credential stuffing, malware, API key misuse, or other security incidents. You remain responsible for good account hygiene, strong passwords, and correct API permissions.
7. Liquidity and market structure
Some markets may be illiquid, have wide spreads, or be vulnerable to manipulation. As a result, an order may be filled at a worse price or may not be fully executed.
8. Regulatory and tax risk
Laws and regulations relating to crypto assets continue to evolve. New rules, bans, licensing requirements, tax measures, or enforcement action may affect the legality or availability of the service and your net results.
9. No insurance and no capital protection
Crypto assets and trading results are generally not covered by deposit guarantee schemes or comparable investor protection arrangements. Loss of market value or loss caused by execution remains your responsibility.
10. Suitability
You should use SWING only if you understand how crypto assets, exchange orders, swing trading, and automation risk work, and if you are financially able to bear losses. Past results, paper trading, simulations, and dashboard metrics are not predictors of future performance.
11. Personal decision-making
You remain fully responsible at all times for:
- the decision to trade or not trade;
- the choice of strategy, profile, plan, and exchange settings;
- the amount of capital you allocate and the risk you choose to take;
- obtaining independent legal, tax, or financial advice where needed.
12. Your confirmation
By using SWING, you confirm that you understand and accept these risks, that losses can become material quickly, and that you use the service only with funds you can afford to lose.
