Risk Disclosure

Effective date: 6 September 2026 · Part of the Terms of Service

1. Market risk

Prices of financial instruments can move quickly and unpredictably, including overnight, over weekends and around economic news. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses: a small market movement can have a large effect on your account and can trigger margin calls or automatic liquidation by your broker. Liquidity may disappear, spreads may widen, and orders may be executed at prices different from those expected (slippage).

2. Automated trading and Expert Advisor risk

• An Expert Advisor ("EA") trades according to its own rules. Those rules may be wrong for current market conditions, may contain errors, or may behave differently from what a description, backtest or past result suggested.
• Grid, martingale, hedging and averaging strategies can accumulate large exposure and losses quickly; a "low" preset reduces but does not remove that risk.
• Changing a parameter or preset restarts the EA. Some EAs do not correctly recover their open positions after a restart. AlgoHand refuses such changes for EAs whose restart behaviour has not been verified with open positions, but verification reduces risk, it does not eliminate it, and you can always bypass the Service by acting directly on the terminal.
• Stopping an EA "softly" leaves its open positions managed by the EA; stopping it "hard" leaves them unmanaged. Positions are never closed by AlgoHand. Understand which one you asked for.
• Backtests and historical performance, including figures shown in the chat, are not indicators of future results. They reflect past prices, a specific broker's conditions and the settings at the time.

3. Technology and connectivity risk

• Your VPS, your internet connection, your broker's servers, MetaTrader software and its updates, EA licence servers and our own servers can fail, slow down or be interrupted. During such periods EAs may not trade, may not be able to close positions, or may be restarted.
• AlgoHand may restart terminals and re-attach components automatically to keep the Service working. During a restart, EAs are briefly not on the market. Restarts are logged and reported to you.
• Information shown by the Service (balances, positions, profit, charts) is reported by your terminals with a delay and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Your broker's records are the authoritative source.
• The chat assistant uses AI, which can misunderstand a request or make mistakes in a summary. Every change is shown as a dry run for your confirmation; read it before you confirm.

4. Third-party risk

Your broker's solvency, regulation, execution quality and terms, the licensing and behaviour of EA vendors, and the reliability of your VPS provider are outside our control. A listing of an EA in the AlgoHand catalogue is not a recommendation or a warranty.

5. Regulatory and tax

Trading may be restricted or regulated in your country, and profits may be taxable. It is your responsibility to know and comply with the rules that apply to you. MTCodec is a software company, not a financial institution, and does not hold client funds.

6. No advice, your decisions

AlgoHand executes your instructions and reports information. It does not assess whether trading, any EA, any setting or any change is suitable for you. Every decision to run, stop or change a robot is yours, and so are its consequences. If you are in doubt, seek independent advice from a licensed professional before trading.
