View Market | Risk Disclosure

1. Important Notice

This Risk Disclosure is provided to inform you of the significant risks associated with using the ViewMarket platform and trading in financial markets. ViewMarket is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that provides algorithmic trading tools, charting features, and broker integrations. We do not provide trading recommendations, investment advice, or suggestions of any kind. All trading decisions and their outcomes are solely your responsibility.

2. Trading Risk

Trading in financial instruments, including but not limited to stocks, options, futures, forex, and cryptocurrencies, involves substantial risk of loss. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your financial condition. The degree of financial leverage available in certain markets can work against you as well as for you, and you may lose more than your initial investment.

3. Algorithmic Trading Risks

The use of algorithmic trading tools on the ViewMarket platform introduces additional risks, including but not limited to:

Strategy Failures: Algorithms may not perform as expected due to market conditions, data errors, or logical flaws in strategy design.
Rapid Execution Risk: Automated strategies can execute trades at high speed, potentially amplifying losses if the strategy behaves unexpectedly.
Technical Failures: Internet connectivity issues, server downtime, or software bugs may prevent timely execution or modification of orders.
Slippage & Latency: The price at which an order is executed may differ from the intended price due to market movement or network latency.
Over-Optimization: Strategies optimized on historical data may not perform well in live markets (curve-fitting risk).

4. Broker Integration Risks

ViewMarket integrates with 30+ brokers globally. Users should be aware of the following risks related to broker integrations:

Broker-Side Failures: Broker outages, API downtime, or execution errors are outside ViewMarket's control.
API Key Security: While we employ encryption to protect your broker API credentials, unauthorized access could result in unintended trades.
Regulatory Differences: Brokers operate under different regulatory regimes. Users are responsible for understanding the regulatory protections (or lack thereof) applicable to their broker.
Execution Risk: Order routing, fills, rejections, and partial executions are controlled by the broker, not ViewMarket.

5. Market Risks

Financial markets are inherently volatile and unpredictable. Specific market risks include:

Volatility: Sudden and significant price movements can result in substantial losses.
Liquidity Risk: In illiquid markets, it may be difficult or impossible to exit positions at desired prices.
Gap Risk: Prices can gap significantly between trading sessions, potentially causing losses beyond stop-loss levels.
Event Risk: Geopolitical events, economic releases, and corporate actions can cause extreme market movements.

6. Technology Risks

The ViewMarket platform relies on complex technology infrastructure. Risks include:

System Downtime: Planned or unplanned outages may prevent access to the platform and the ability to manage open positions.
Data Accuracy: Market data feeds may contain errors, delays, or gaps that affect strategy performance.
Cybersecurity: Despite our security measures, cyber attacks could compromise platform integrity or user data.
Third-Party Dependencies: The platform relies on third-party services (data providers, cloud infrastructure) whose failures may impact our service.

7. No Risk Elimination

The use of the ViewMarket platform does not eliminate, reduce, or manage trading risk. Algorithmic trading tools are instruments that execute user-defined strategies — they do not inherently protect against losses. Risk management features (such as stop-losses or position limits) are user-configured and their effectiveness depends entirely on the user's strategy design and market conditions.

8. Acknowledgment

By using the ViewMarket platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure, that you are aware of the risks involved in trading and algorithmic trading, and that you accept full responsibility for your trading decisions and their outcomes.

9. Changes to This Disclosure

We may update this Risk Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our services or applicable regulations. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
