Risk Disclosure
This Risk Disclosure describes material risks associated with trading and investing in crypto-assets and with using the NsWealthPro platform. It should be read together with our Terms of Service. It cannot list every risk, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for independent financial advice.
1. Purpose of this disclosure
NsWealthPro provides analytical tools, educational content and dashboard features relating to assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. We do not hold your assets on your behalf unless expressly stated for a specific product, and we do not guarantee outcomes. The information below is intended to help you make an informed decision about whether these markets and our tools are suitable for you.
2. Market volatility
Crypto-asset prices can change dramatically within minutes, and sharp falls of a large percentage are not unusual. Prices are influenced by factors including changes in supply and demand, macroeconomic developments, regulatory announcements, market sentiment, large holders of an asset, and rumour. Volatility can cause losses that exceed what you expected when you opened a position.
3. Liquidity risk
Some markets or trading pairs may have limited liquidity. In stressed conditions you may be unable to buy or sell at a price you expect, or at all. Slippage, wide spreads and delayed execution can increase losses or reduce gains. Risk limits and stop-loss settings cannot always be executed at the level you specify.
4. Leveraged and derivative exposure
Where any product involves borrowing, margin or derivatives, losses can accumulate rapidly and may exceed your initial deposit. Such products are not appropriate for everyone. You should understand the contract terms, funding costs, liquidation mechanics and margin requirements before committing funds.
5. Limitations of automated analysis
Our analytical outputs are generated by models that rely on historical data, assumptions and inputs that may be incomplete, delayed or inaccurate. Models can fail to anticipate unusual events, can overfit past patterns and can produce signals that are wrong. An indicator, score or forecast is not a guarantee and should never be treated as a certainty.
6. Technology, cyber and operational risk
Online platforms, blockchain networks and wallets are exposed to hacking, phishing, malware, software defects, outages, network congestion and human error. Transactions recorded on a blockchain are generally irreversible. Losses may occur if you lose your credentials, send assets to an incorrect address or fall victim to a scam.
7. Third-party dependencies
The Services rely on third-party data feeds, exchanges, custodians, payment providers and hosting infrastructure. Failure, insolvency, withdrawal restrictions or misconduct by any of these parties could affect your access to funds or information. We have limited control over such third parties.
8. Regulatory and legal risk
The legal and regulatory treatment of crypto-assets is evolving and varies between jurisdictions. Changes in law, enforcement action or tax treatment could adversely affect the value, availability or legality of certain assets or services. Certain protections available for other financial products, such as statutory compensation schemes, may not apply to crypto-assets.
9. Tax
Gains, income and other transactions involving crypto-assets may be taxable. Tax treatment depends on your personal circumstances and may change. You are responsible for keeping accurate records and for meeting your reporting obligations. NsWealthPro does not provide tax advice.
10. Scams and unsolicited contact
Fraudsters frequently impersonate platforms, staff and well-known figures. We will never ask for your password, recovery phrase or private keys, and we do not guarantee returns or ask you to move funds to personal wallets. If you are contacted unexpectedly, do not respond to payment requests and contact us through the details on our website.
11. Your responsibilities
Before trading or investing you should consider your financial objectives, experience, time horizon, existing commitments and risk tolerance. Diversification, position sizing and the use of risk limits can help manage exposure but cannot eliminate risk. Seek independent professional advice where appropriate.
12. Acknowledgement
By using the Services you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure, that you accept the risks described, and that any trading or investment decision is made entirely at your own discretion and risk. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
