Trading and automation risk disclosure

Market and leverage risk

Leverage magnifies gains and losses. Prices may gap, liquidity may disappear and stop-loss orders may fill at a worse price or fail in extreme conditions. Spreads, swaps, commission, slippage and currency conversion can turn an apparently profitable strategy into a loss.

Automated-system risk

Software may receive stale or incorrect data, disconnect, duplicate or reject requests, interpret broker symbols incorrectly, encounter platform updates or fail during power, network, VPS or third-party outages. Aurum’s heartbeat, duplicate-order and readiness controls reduce selected risks but cannot remove them.

AI-generated analysis risk

AI Trader can misunderstand a question, omit context, produce an incorrect explanation or estimate, and sound confident when uncertain. Any timescale or profit figure must be read as a labelled scenario based on the facts available at that moment—not as a forecast or guarantee. Conversation history is not a substitute for the live broker record.

The AI model has no independent authority to approve a strategy or bypass Aurum’s deterministic safety controls. Even an accepted nomination can be resized, expire, be rejected or remain blocked by the account, market, execution or portfolio gates. You should not enable gated nomination unless you understand these limits and can monitor the account.

Research, candle, tick and depth risk

Backtests can be overfit or affected by inaccurate data, look-ahead bias and unrealistic execution assumptions. Candle-based tests cannot reproduce the exact intrabar price path, queue position, liquidity changes or fill sequence. The updated EA can collect individual ticks and broker-provided Level 2 snapshots, but those datasets are only treated as validated after sufficient observations exist.

Broker depth may be partial or venue-specific rather than a complete central order book. Recorded ticks and depth do not guarantee the same future price, queue position or fill. Forward or paper results may still differ materially from live fills. Market regimes and relationships can change without warning. News analysis may be incomplete, late, ambiguous or wrong.

Broker and prop-firm risk

A broker controls prices, margin, order acceptance and withdrawals. A prop firm controls its rules and may close or reject accounts. Aurum does not guarantee broker solvency, fair execution, prop-rule compliance or payout eligibility.

Your responsibilities

• Check your exact account, server, symbols, leverage and lot constraints.
• Monitor positions and keep an independent way to disable Algo Trading and close positions.
• Start conservatively and understand the strategy, charges and worst plausible loss.
• Do not treat an internal status bar, countdown or approval as a recommendation or guarantee.
• Do not treat “Level 2 unavailable” as a fault or assume candles provide missing order-book information.

Aurum does not hold customer money and should never ask for an MT5 password. If anyone does so using our name, stop and contact us.
