Risk Disclosure
Last Updated: [Date]
At CoachingTrader, we believe that every trader should understand the risks associated with financial markets before making trading decisions.
The information, educational content, coaching programmes, and services available through CoachingTrader are provided for educational and informational purposes only. Trading and investing involve significant financial risk, and you should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
1. General Risk Warning
Trading financial markets involves a substantial risk of loss.
The value of financial instruments can move rapidly and unpredictably, and you may lose some or all of the money you use for trading.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
No coach, programme, strategy, article, or educational material provided through CoachingTrader can guarantee profits or prevent losses.
You should never trade money that you cannot afford to lose.
2. Educational Purpose
CoachingTrader provides access to educational resources and professional trading coaches.
Our services may cover areas such as:
Trading Psychology
Risk Management
Strategy Development
Technical Analysis
Backtesting
Trading Performance
Professional Trader Development
Funded Trading
Trading Discipline
Market Analysis
The purpose of these services is to help users develop their knowledge, skills, decision-making processes, and understanding of financial markets.
CoachingTrader does not guarantee that completing a programme will result in profitable trading.
3. No Guarantee of Trading Results
Neither CoachingTrader nor its coaches guarantee:
Profitable trading
A specific return on capital
A specific level of income
Successful trading performance
Successful completion of a funded trading challenge
Successful account management
Recovery of previous trading losses
Any particular financial outcome
Every trader has different circumstances, experience, risk tolerance, capital, and decision-making abilities.
Results achieved by one trader may not be achievable by another.
4. Market Risk
Financial markets can be highly volatile.
Prices may change rapidly due to factors including:
Economic events
Interest-rate changes
Inflation
Political events
Market sentiment
News announcements
Geopolitical events
Company announcements
Changes in liquidity
Unexpected market conditions
These events can result in significant losses within a short period of time.
5. Leverage and Margin Risk
Some financial products allow traders to use leverage.
Leverage can increase both potential gains and potential losses.
A relatively small market movement may result in a significant loss when leverage is used.
Depending on the financial product and trading provider, you may lose more than your initial deposit or be required to provide additional funds.
You should fully understand how leverage and margin work before using them.
6. Derivatives and Complex Financial Products
Certain trading products, including derivatives, contracts for difference, futures, options, and other leveraged instruments, can involve a high level of risk.
These products may not be suitable for all traders.
Before trading any complex financial product, you should understand:
How the product works
The potential losses
The use of leverage
Margin requirements
Trading costs
Liquidity risks
Expiration or settlement requirements where applicable
7. Cryptocurrency and Digital Assets
Where CoachingTrader content discusses cryptocurrencies or digital assets, users should understand that these markets can be particularly volatile.
Cryptocurrency prices may experience significant and rapid changes.
Digital assets may also involve additional risks relating to:
Market volatility
Liquidity
Regulation
Technology
Cybersecurity
Exchange or platform failure
Loss of access to digital assets
You should conduct your own research and consider professional advice where appropriate.
8. Funded Trading Programmes
Some CoachingTrader programmes or educational materials may discuss proprietary or funded trading programmes.
Participation in a funded trading programme may involve specific rules, restrictions, fees, performance requirements, drawdown limits, or other conditions.
Passing or completing a funded trading challenge is not guaranteed.
A trader may lose fees paid to a third-party funded trading provider or fail to meet the provider’s requirements.
CoachingTrader does not guarantee acceptance, funding, payouts, or continued access to any third-party funded trading programme.
9. Trading Psychology and Performance
Trading psychology is an important part of trading performance.
Coaching may discuss areas such as:
Discipline
Emotional control
Confidence
Patience
Decision-making
Managing losses
Managing expectations
However, coaching cannot guarantee that a trader will avoid emotional or psychological challenges.
Each individual is responsible for their own trading decisions and behaviour.
10. Risk Management
Risk management education may include discussions about:
Position sizing
Stop-loss strategies
Risk-to-reward concepts
Maximum drawdown
Trading plans
Capital preservation
Exposure management
These concepts are educational and should not be considered personalised financial advice.
There is no risk-management method that can eliminate trading losses entirely.
11. Trading Strategies
CoachingTrader coaches may teach or discuss specific trading strategies, methodologies, indicators, setups, or approaches.
No strategy works in every market condition.
A strategy that performed well historically may perform differently in the future.
Market conditions can change, and you are responsible for determining whether a strategy is appropriate for your own circumstances.
12. Backtesting and Historical Performance
Backtesting and historical results may be used for educational purposes.
Historical or simulated results do not necessarily represent actual trading performance.
Backtesting may not account for:
Slippage
Spreads
Commissions
Liquidity
Execution delays
Market impact
Changing market conditions
Other real-world trading costs
Therefore, historical performance should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future results.
13. Hypothetical or Simulated Results
Any hypothetical, simulated, illustrative, or educational trading results shown on CoachingTrader should not be interpreted as actual investment performance.
Simulated trading may differ significantly from real trading because actual trading involves emotional pressure, execution limitations, transaction costs, liquidity conditions, and other factors.
14. Individual Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your trading and investment decisions.
Before entering into any trade, you should consider:
Your financial situation
Your trading experience
Your risk tolerance
Your financial objectives
The amount of capital you can afford to lose
You should only trade after determining that the relevant product and strategy are suitable for you.
15. Independent Financial Advice
CoachingTrader and its coaches do not provide personalised financial, investment, legal, or tax advice unless expressly stated and legally authorised to do so.
If you require advice specific to your financial circumstances, you should consult an appropriately qualified and authorised professional.
16. No Reliance on Individual Results
Testimonials, reviews, case studies, coach experiences, programme results, or examples displayed on CoachingTrader represent individual experiences.
They should not be interpreted as typical or guaranteed results.
Your results may be significantly different.
17. Third-Party Platforms
Trading may take place through third-party brokers, exchanges, proprietary trading firms, or other financial platforms.
CoachingTrader does not control these third-party platforms.
Users are responsible for reviewing the terms, fees, risks, privacy policies, and regulatory status of any third-party provider before using its services.
18. Technology and Execution Risks
Electronic trading systems may be affected by technical problems.
Potential risks include:
Internet outages
Platform downtime
Server problems
Software errors
Data-feed interruptions
Delayed execution
Connectivity issues
Cybersecurity incidents
Technical problems may result in delayed or missed trades and financial losses.
19. Fees and Trading Costs
Trading may involve costs such as:
Spreads
Commissions
Platform fees
Overnight financing costs
Data fees
Exchange fees
Withdrawal fees
Other transaction costs
These costs can affect trading performance and should be considered before trading.
20. Losses and Financial Impact
Trading losses can have a significant impact on your financial situation.
You should not use money required for essential expenses, debt repayments, emergency funds, or other important financial obligations for speculative trading.
You should maintain appropriate financial reserves and only risk capital that you can afford to lose.
21. Regulatory Considerations
Financial markets and trading activities are subject to different laws and regulations depending on your location and the products you trade.
It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws and regulations applicable to you.
CoachingTrader does not guarantee that any particular trading activity, financial product, broker, exchange, or funded trading provider is available or appropriate in your jurisdiction.
22. No Professional Relationship
Participation in a CoachingTrader programme does not automatically create a fiduciary, investment-advisory, broker-client, or other regulated professional relationship unless expressly stated and legally established.
Coaching services are primarily educational in nature.
23. Website and Educational Content
Information published on the CoachingTrader website, including articles, videos, programme descriptions, coach profiles, charts, examples, and other educational material, may become outdated.
We do not guarantee that all information will always be complete, current, or suitable for every trading situation.
You should independently verify information before making financial decisions.
24. Your Acceptance of Risk
By using CoachingTrader, requesting a consultation, purchasing a programme, or participating in coaching services, you acknowledge that:
Trading involves substantial risk.
You may lose money.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
No trading strategy guarantees profits.
Coaching cannot eliminate market risk.
You are responsible for your own trading decisions.
You should only trade with money you can afford to lose.
