When you use SocialTraderTools or any other third-party platform referenced through our services to connect your trading account to any strategy, you do so as an independent user acting entirely on your own initiative and under your own authority. You retain full control of your account at all times. All trading activity executed through your account — including activity resulting from automated or copy trading connections — is your activity and your sole responsibility.
We may receive referral or affiliate compensation from brokers or platform providers when you use links on this website to open an account. This compensation does not create any advisory, fiduciary, or regulated relationship between you and us. Broker and platform selection remains entirely at your discretion.

5. Risk Warning — Detailed Disclosure
Trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs), foreign exchange (FX), and other leveraged financial instruments involves a high level of risk. The following risks are material and should be carefully considered:
Capital loss risk
It is possible to lose more than your initial deposit. In some circumstances, your entire invested capital may be lost. You should never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose entirely.
Leverage risk
Leveraged products amplify both gains and losses. A small adverse price movement relative to your margin deposit can result in a loss substantially greater than the amount you have deposited.
Market risk
Prices of financial instruments can be volatile and may move rapidly and unpredictably in response to economic data releases, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, and other factors outside your control.
Liquidity risk
During periods of market stress, illiquidity, or unusual volatility, it may be impossible to close or adjust a position at the intended price. Slippage may occur, resulting in worse execution than expected.
System and technology risk
Automated and copy trading systems are dependent on technology infrastructure, connectivity, and third-party platforms, all of which may be subject to failure, latency, interruption, or error. AlphaSight Capital provides no guarantee of continuous or reliable operation of any such system.
Counterparty and broker risk
Users trade through third-party brokers who are subject to their own financial, operational, and regulatory risks. AlphaSight Capital is not responsible for the financial condition, regulatory status, conduct, or execution practices of any third-party broker or platform.
Strategy and performance risk
No trading strategy, automated system, or copy trading signal guarantees any level of return. Past performance — whether live, simulated, hypothetical, or backtested — is not a reliable indicator of future results. Simulated or backtested results are subject to significant limitations including survivorship bias and look-ahead bias, and do not reflect real trading costs, slippage, or liquidity constraints.
Regulatory risk
The regulatory status of automated and copy trading technology varies by jurisdiction and may change. Users are responsible for determining whether their use of any platform or system complies with applicable law in their jurisdiction.
Tax risk
Trading profits may be subject to taxation in your jurisdiction. AlphaSight Capital does not provide tax advice. You should seek independent advice regarding your tax obligations.
If you do not understand these risks, or if you are uncertain whether trading leveraged instruments is appropriate for your financial circumstances, you should seek advice from an independent financial adviser who is authorised and regulated in your jurisdiction before proceeding.
