⚠️ CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADING RISK WARNING
Cryptocurrency trading is HIGHLY SPECULATIVE and carries SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS.
You may lose your entire investment
Past performance does NOT guarantee future results
Cryptocurrency prices are extremely volatile
Markets operate 24/7 with no circuit breakers
You should only invest what you can afford to lose
1. General Investment Risks
Market Volatility
Cryptocurrency prices can fluctuate by 10-50% or more in a single day. Price movements are influenced by:
Market sentiment and speculation
Regulatory announcements
Exchange hacks or technical failures
Whale manipulation and coordinated trading
Macroeconomic events
Social media trends and influencer activity
Liquidity Risk
Some cryptocurrencies have low trading volume, making it difficult to enter or exit positions at desired prices. You may experience:
Large bid-ask spreads
Slippage on orders
Inability to sell during market crashes
Loss of Capital
There is a real possibility that you will lose 100% of your invested capital.
Cryptocurrencies can go to zero. Projects can fail. Exchanges can be hacked. Never invest money you need for essential expenses like rent, food, or medical care.
2. Platform-Specific Risks
No Guarantees or Promises
Coincise provides tools and information, but:
We do NOT guarantee profits or positive returns
We do NOT guarantee accuracy of AI predictions or sentiment analysis
We do NOT guarantee uptime - technical issues can occur
We do NOT provide financial advice - all tools are educational
Historical Performance
Past performance is NOT indicative of future results.
Backtests, historical returns, and example trades shown on the Platform are for educational purposes only. Market conditions change. What worked in the past may fail in the future.
Third-Party Dependencies
Coincise relies on third-party services that may fail or change:
Exchange APIs: Exchanges can limit or revoke API access
Data Providers: Market data feeds can be delayed or inaccurate
Cloud Infrastructure: AWS, Vercel, or Supabase outages affect our service
LLM Providers: OpenAI or Anthropic APIs can experience downtime
3. Exchange & Custody Risks
Centralized Exchange Risks
Your funds are held on cryptocurrency exchanges, which carry significant risks:
Exchange Hacks: Exchanges have been hacked, losing billions in user funds
Insolvency: Exchanges can go bankrupt (e.g., FTX, Mt. Gox)
Withdrawal Freezes: Exchanges may halt withdrawals during market stress
Regulatory Action: Governments can shut down or restrict exchanges
Account Freezes: Exchanges may freeze your account for compliance reasons
⚠️ Important:
Coincise does NOT custody your funds. We only connect to exchanges via READ-ONLY API keys. However, we cannot protect you from exchange-level risks. Consider using hardware wallets for long-term storage.
API Key Risks
Even READ-ONLY API keys carry risks:
If compromised, attackers can see your portfolio and trading history
Some exchanges allow read-only keys to place orders (check your exchange settings)
API keys can be leaked if our database is breached (we encrypt keys, but no system is 100% secure)
Recommendation: Regularly rotate your API keys and monitor your exchange account for unauthorized activity.
4. Trading Bot & Automation Risks
Bot Malfunction
Trading bots can fail in numerous ways:
Logic Errors: Bugs in bot code can cause unexpected trades
API Rate Limits: Exchanges may block bots for excessive requests
Network Issues: Internet outages can prevent bots from executing
Exchange Downtime: Bots can't trade if the exchange is offline
Flash Crashes: Bots may sell at the worst possible time
Infinite Loops: Bots may repeatedly buy/sell, racking up fees
Strategy Failure
All trading strategies can fail, even those that worked historically.
Mean reversion strategies fail in trending markets
Trend-following strategies fail in range-bound markets
Arbitrage opportunities disappear as markets become efficient
Market regimes change without warning
Over-Trading & Fees
Automated bots can trade frequently, accumulating substantial fees:
Exchange trading fees (maker/taker fees)
Network fees (blockchain transaction costs)
Slippage on market orders
Important: Monitor your bot's trading frequency and total fees. High-frequency trading may erode profits even if the win rate is positive.
User Responsibility
You are responsible for:
Configuring bot parameters correctly
Testing bots with small amounts before scaling up
Monitoring bot performance daily
Stopping bots during adverse market conditions
Understanding the bot's strategy before activating it
5. AI Trader & LLM Risks
AI "Hallucinations"
⚠️ Critical Warning:
Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate false or misleading information that sounds convincing. This is called "hallucination." The AI may:
Cite non-existent news articles or data
Make up statistics or price predictions
Provide outdated information presented as current
Misinterpret market data or technical indicators
No Real-Time Market Access
AI models are trained on historical data and do NOT have:
Real-time price feeds
Breaking news or announcements
Order book data or whale movements
Insider information or market sentiment shifts
Verify All AI Recommendations
Always independently verify AI-generated insights before trading:
Check price data on multiple sources
Verify news and announcements
Confirm technical indicators on charting platforms
Consult multiple AI tools and human experts
6. Regulatory & Legal Risks
Regulatory Uncertainty
Cryptocurrency regulations are evolving and vary by jurisdiction:
Bans: Some countries prohibit cryptocurrency trading entirely
Restrictions: New regulations can limit trading, withdrawals, or exchanges
Tax Obligations: You are responsible for reporting crypto gains/losses
KYC/AML: Exchanges may freeze accounts for compliance checks
Your Responsibility:
It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of Coincise and cryptocurrency trading complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Coincise does not provide legal or tax advice.
Securities Classification
Some cryptocurrencies may be classified as securities by regulators, which could:
Result in exchange delistings
Trigger legal enforcement actions
Cause sharp price declines
7. Market Manipulation
Cryptocurrency markets are less regulated than traditional financial markets and are susceptible to:
Pump and Dump Schemes: Coordinated buying followed by mass selling
Wash Trading: Fake volume to manipulate price
Spoofing: Placing fake orders to trick other traders
Insider Trading: Trading based on non-public information
Social Media Manipulation: Influencers promoting coins they hold
8. Technical & Cybersecurity Risks
Platform Downtime
Coincise may experience technical issues:
Server outages preventing access to your dashboard
API failures preventing bot execution
Database corruption or data loss
Deployment bugs introducing errors
Cybersecurity Threats
Data Breaches: Despite encryption, our database could be hacked
Phishing: Attackers may impersonate Coincise to steal credentials
Account Takeover: Weak passwords can lead to unauthorized access
Supply Chain Attacks: Third-party libraries could be compromised
Protect Yourself:
Use a strong, unique password
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on exchanges
Verify URLs before logging in
Never share API keys with anyone
Regularly review exchange account activity
