Trading crypto is risky. This disclaimer explains the risks of using QuantMax so you can make an informed decision. Read it in full before you apply or start copying. By using QuantMax you confirm you understand and accept these risks.
Only trade with capital you can afford to lose completely.
1. You can lose money
Crypto markets are highly volatile. Prices can move sharply against you in minutes. You can lose part or all of the capital you allocate to a strategy. No strategy, automated check or risk control can remove this possibility.
2. Past and backtested performance is not a promise
The numbers we show, including backtests and live results, describe the past. They are not a prediction or a guarantee of future returns. Real markets differ from historical data, and future results may be worse, including in ways no backtest captured.
Our modern-era window shows peak-to-trough drawdowns under 11%, but across the full multi-year history, including the 2022 to 2023 bear market, drawdowns can exceed 40%. A drawdown of that size is a real possibility and can happen again.
3. Drawdowns are normal
Even a strategy that works over time will have losing streaks. Your account equity will rise and fall. You must be financially and emotionally prepared to hold through significant drawdowns, or to pause the bot if you are not.
4. Leverage and derivatives
Our strategies trade crypto derivatives, including perpetual futures, which can use leverage. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses and introduces liquidation risk: in extreme conditions a position can be closed by the exchange at a loss. The bot monitors margin headroom and can pause if margin gets tight, but extreme market events, price gaps and exchange behaviour can still cause losses or liquidation.
5. Automated trading and technical risk
QuantMax is automated software that depends on third-party systems. Exchange outages, API failures, latency, connectivity problems, data errors or software bugs can cause missed trades, unexpected fills or losses. The bot has risk controls that pause it when something looks wrong, but no automated system is infallible.
6. No guaranteed returns
We never guarantee a profit, an income, a specific return or a recovery from losses. Anyone who promises you guaranteed crypto returns, including in our name, is not telling the truth. Be skeptical of such claims.
7. Your capital, your control, your responsibility
Your funds stay in your own exchange account at all times. We never take custody and cannot withdraw. That also means you are responsible for monitoring your account, deciding how much to allocate, and using the pause and manual-close controls. The decision to start, continue or stop is yours.
8. Not financial advice
QuantMax does not provide investment, financial, legal or tax advice and is not a registered adviser or broker. Nothing we publish is a recommendation to trade. If you are unsure whether this is suitable for you, seek advice from a licensed professional.
9. Regulatory and tax responsibility
Crypto regulation differs by country and changes over time. You are responsible for confirming that using QuantMax is legal where you live and for reporting and paying any taxes on your trading. Depending on your jurisdiction and the providers involved, crypto services may offer limited or no investor-protection or deposit-guarantee coverage.
10. Only risk what you can afford to lose
Never allocate money you need for living expenses, debt, or emergencies. Never trade with borrowed money you cannot repay. Treat every amount you put to work through QuantMax as capital you are prepared to lose entirely.
11. Acknowledgement
By applying for access and connecting your exchange, you confirm that you have read and understood this Risk Disclaimer, that you accept the risks of crypto trading, and that you are using QuantMax at your own risk. Questions? Contact support@quantmax.io.
