Risk Disclosure

Comprehensive overview of the potential risks, market volatilities, and capital considerations associated with our trading platforms.

1. Introduction

Trading financial instruments through Ark Stone Trading involves significant risk. This Risk Disclosure Statement is designed to provide you with a clear understanding of the risks associated with utilizing our execution platform, asset management services, and copy trading features.

This document cannot and does not disclose all risks comprehensively. You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your financial circumstances, investment objectives, and risk tolerance.

2. High Risk of Loss (Capital Risk)

Trading is highly speculative and involves a substantial risk of loss. You should only trade with risk capital—funds that you can afford to lose entirely without adversely affecting your standard of living.

It is possible to lose your entire initial investment, and in some margin-based trading scenarios, your losses could exceed your initial deposits. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon to deposit substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. Failure to provide such funds within the time required may result in the liquidation of your position at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.

3. Leverage Risk

Leverage allows you to control a large position with a relatively small initial deposit (margin). While leverage can magnify your potential profits, it equally amplifies your potential losses.

The utilization of leverage entails significant risk, including strict margin requirements, automatic stop-out mechanisms, and the impact of severe market volatility. A small market movement against your position can result in a disproportionately large loss. Under extreme volatility, rapid price changes may trigger automatic liquidation of your positions at unfavorable rates.

You should only utilize leverage if you comprehensively understand all associated risks, including margin calls and liquidation procedures. For specific rules regarding margin maintenance and execution, please refer to our Trading Terms and Conditions.

4. Market Volatility

Financial markets are volatile and can fluctuate rapidly due to various factors, including economic data releases, geopolitical events, monetary policy changes, and market sentiment.

Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to execute a trade or close out a position at a desired price. This can occur, for example, during times of rapid price movement if the price rises or falls significantly in a single trading session to such an extent that trading is restricted or suspended ("gapping").

5. Technical and Platform Risk

Ark Stone Trading relies on electronic systems for execution, order routing, and reporting. While we deploy ultra-low latency, institutional-grade infrastructure, technical failures can still occur.

You are exposed to risks associated with system failures, hardware malfunctions, software glitches, and internet connectivity issues. Any system failure may result in your order being executed at an unintended price, delayed, or completely unexecuted. Ark Stone Trading is not liable for losses resulting from technological failures beyond our direct control.

6. Liquidity Risk

Some financial instruments may have low liquidity, meaning there may be a lack of willing buyers or sellers in the market at a given time.

Illiquid markets can lead to wider bid-ask spreads, making it more expensive to enter or exit a position. In extreme cases of illiquidity, it may be entirely impossible to execute a trade, which could prevent you from mitigating losses or realizing profits on open positions.

8. No Advice

Ark Stone Trading provides an execution-only ecosystem. We do not provide personalized financial, legal, or tax advice. Any market commentary, analysis, signals, or educational materials provided by Ark Stone Trading or via our copy trading platform are purely for informational purposes and do not constitute a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell.

You are solely responsible for all trading decisions and evaluating the merits and risks of any transaction based on your own independent assessment or by seeking advice from a qualified professional.

9. Acknowledgment

By opening an account with Ark Stone Trading and utilizing our services, you formally acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accept all the risks detailed in this Risk Disclosure Statement.

You confirm that you possess the necessary experience and knowledge to understand the risks involved in trading complex financial instruments and that you accept full personal responsibility for any losses incurred.
