4. Assumption of Risk

4.1 General Trading Risks

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

Trading perpetual futures contracts involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. You should not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
Perpetual futures are complex derivative instruments that involve leverage, margin requirements, funding rates, and liquidation risks. The use of leverage can magnify both gains and losses.
Digital asset markets are highly volatile. Prices can fluctuate dramatically in short periods due to market conditions, regulatory changes, technological developments, or other factors.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical trading performance of any trader you choose to copy does not guarantee similar future performance.
There is no guarantee of profit. Even successful traders experience losses. Copy trading does not eliminate or reduce the inherent risks of trading.

4.2 Copy Trading Risks

YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

Copy trading carries unique risks including but not limited to: execution delays between the original trade and your copied trade; price slippage resulting in different entry/exit prices; differences in position sizing relative to account value; partial fills or failed executions; system latency and network congestion; traders you copy may change their strategy without notice; traders you copy may make errors or poor decisions.
You are solely responsible for selecting which traders to copy and for all trading decisions, even when trades are executed automatically.
LighterFluid does not vet, endorse, or guarantee any trader whose trades are available to copy on the Platform.
Position sizing and risk parameters are your responsibility. Copying trades without appropriate risk management can result in substantial losses.

4.3 Technology and Platform Risks

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

The Platform may experience downtime, interruptions, bugs, errors, or security vulnerabilities;
Blockchain networks and decentralized exchanges may experience congestion, outages, or failures;
Smart contracts may contain bugs or vulnerabilities;
Trades may fail to execute, execute partially, or execute at different prices than expected;
Data displayed on the Platform may be delayed, inaccurate, or incomplete;
API connections to exchanges may fail or be rate-limited;
Your API keys and wallet credentials may be compromised if not properly secured.

4.4 Regulatory and Legal Risks

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

The regulatory status of digital assets, perpetual futures, and decentralized finance varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change;
Regulatory actions may adversely affect your ability to use the Platform or access your funds;
You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Platform is lawful in your jurisdiction;
Tax treatment of digital asset transactions varies by jurisdiction, and you are solely responsible for any tax obligations arising from your use of the Platform.
