Risk Disclosure
Trading cryptocurrencies, forex and stocks can result in the loss of some or all of your capital. You should only trade with money you can afford to lose. Please read this disclosure carefully before using any part of the Vinci AI platform.
1. Purpose of this disclosure
This Risk Disclosure sets out the principal risks associated with using the Vinci AI platform and with trading the financial instruments and digital assets that the platform makes available. It is provided to help you make informed decisions. It does not describe every possible risk, and it should be read together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
2. Market and price risk
The value of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum can change very rapidly, sometimes by large amounts within minutes. Forex and stock prices are also influenced by economic data, interest rates, geopolitical events and company-specific news. Prices can gap, move sharply against your position or become temporarily impossible to trade at a desired level. You may lose more than you expected.
3. Automated trading risk
Automated features execute actions according to the settings you choose and the logic built into the platform. Automation does not remove risk and does not ensure profit. Strategies that performed well in the past may perform poorly in changing market conditions. Software errors, incorrect configuration, connectivity problems, delayed data and exchange outages may cause orders to be executed incorrectly, late or not at all. Automated systems can repeat a losing approach quickly if conditions do not match their assumptions.
4. Leverage and margin
Where leveraged products are available, small adverse price movements can produce large losses relative to your deposit. You may be required to deposit additional funds at short notice, and positions may be closed automatically if your margin falls below required levels. Leverage is not suitable for every investor.
5. Liquidity and execution risk
Some digital assets and instruments may have limited liquidity. In stressed markets, it may be difficult or impossible to exit a position at the price you expect, and stop-loss orders may not protect you against larger losses. Slippage can occur between the price you see and the price at which an order is filled.
6. Digital asset and custody risk
Digital assets are not generally covered by deposit protection schemes or compensation arrangements. Holding or transferring digital assets carries risks including the loss of access credentials, transfers to incorrect addresses, network congestion, protocol failures, smart contract vulnerabilities, cyber attacks and the insolvency of third-party providers. Transactions recorded on a blockchain are generally irreversible.
7. Regulatory and legal risk
The legal and tax treatment of digital assets and of automated trading varies between jurisdictions and may change without notice. Changes in law or regulation may restrict or prohibit some activities, affect the value of assets, or require us to change or withdraw features of the Services. You are responsible for understanding the tax consequences of your activity.
8. Technology and cyber risk
Our platform, like all online services, depends on internet connectivity, third-party infrastructure and software that may fail or be targeted by attackers. Although we apply security measures, no system is free from vulnerabilities. You should protect your devices, use strong and unique passwords, and enable two-factor authentication.
9. Past performance and illustrative figures
Historical performance, backtests, simulations, calculators and example scenarios are provided for illustration only. They are based on assumptions that may not hold in future and do not guarantee any profit or protect against any loss. Projected amounts shown on the platform are not promises of income.
10. No personal advice
Information on the Vinci AI website and within the platform is general in nature. It does not take account of your personal objectives, financial situation, knowledge or needs, and it is not personal investment advice. Before making any decision, you should consider whether a product is appropriate for you and, where appropriate, seek independent professional advice.
11. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for reviewing your settings, monitoring your positions, maintaining sufficient funds, keeping your account secure and understanding each product before you trade it. Do not invest borrowed money or amounts needed for essential expenses. If you feel you are unable to manage the risks involved, stop using the platform and contact us.
